A little late, but at least we posted
This past week, I had the whole week off and was suppose to get some work done on the master bathroom, but that didn't happen. Instead, we bought a 1988 Ford 4x4 long bed pick-up and a homemade dump trailer. We bought them not knowing if we were going to keep them, or flip them as they were priced extremely low. We have now decided to just sell them as a pair and make some money. I spent the first two days after getting the truck, just cleaning it up. Vaccumed it, wiped out the dust, put a receiver hitch on it, and just clean it up. Yesterday, I finally picked up the trailer with the truck as it now has a hitch on it and started taking a grinder with a wire wheel to it so I can do a quick paint job to make it look better. We will include pictures in the next couple of days. I've also been working on my Trail 90 with a friend in the ward. He went to school to be a mechanic, but changed paths after two years. He still loves to work on engines and has helped me get the CT90 running 100 times better than it was. The nice thing is he has me do most of the work and teaches me what the pieces do as we go along. I also got invited through him to help rebuild a 1993 Ford 150 motor. That has taught me a lot also as we do a little at a time. Enough about me. Kent has been sick all week, but is finally getting better. Last night and this morning, him and Grant have been wrestling. It is fun to watch, but neither of them know the limits. Mom and I have to referee a little. Jen is doing great and loving her job. Libbie is being a great mommy dog and her little pups are fat little toads. It is also fun to watch the boys with the puppies. We have to watch Grant because he will go grab one without telling us. He is good and sits down with it, but Libbie starts to go crazy and wants her puppy back with the others. Kent has grabbed one also, but it is a little harder for him to get them out of the pool. Have a great week and check back for more updates and photos.

I remember when you where little and someone asked you your name and you said, "Bryce Waber", now you are working on trucks and engines and I guess you really do have some of that Raber blood in you. So glad you are having fun learning more valuable life lessons. Love Mom
Bet Dustin would love to come out there and build with you. If you lived close, he'd probably hire you to help fix up his rock crawler. It has no axles right now cuz he's getting bigger tires, thus bigger axles were needed. We'll have to post some pictures soon for you to see. The car is suspended on giant jack stands for now in our garage. Looks kinda weird w/out tires on it.
Hahaha..Mr. Arbitrage. Always looking for a deal :) Nice blog! Nice job on the kitchen floor too. I think I owe you a phone call...I'll do that right now.
Peace & love
