Hey today is a special day! It's when Dave's mom decided she had enough of him donkey kicking her guts and brought him into this world. How was she to know that 32 years later he would start a process that would bring about the end of the world.

Also he's welcome to stay as long as I'm living there. Which will be until the end of December.

Also also I'm putting the Jimmy up for sale so if you want a piece of Internet infamy I suggest you contact me asap.

Wait, where are you going???

I got married back in August and my wife lives 3 hours away while I stayed here to kinda tie up loose ends but we agreed I was going to move up come January and well, January is here.

The land is owned by my parents so it's not like I'm taking everything up there with me. But my wife would like me to kinda clean up the corral if you know what I mean.

Ooooh, gotcha. Is there a Davetingency plan in place if the truck won't roll?

You did your best, nobody can say otherwise. Go home, cuddle your cat and sort out the Civic. Figure out if you'll be back to work on the truck in the spring. And think about what you have too look forward to

South Carolina is further away from Nebraska than Indiana is. But I might be able to justify a trip at some point.
