Thanks! It's the biggest house, yard, and has a garage, we could find in our price range. I didn't expect it to be this hard to find a place. Once we get this deal done, I'll probably hear of 5 more. Haha

It's funny you say that. I told my wife I'd like to have a Husky some day. This was a few weeks ago. Saturday morning she wakes me up and says she found some on facebook and we ended up going and buying one. We'll be able to bring her home May 4th. The appraisal got done yesterday on the house. There may be 2 issues that need to be fixed before the deal gets closed. We'll hear in the next few days.

..... and she posted on FB that the Easter Bunny brought a surprise puppy. Misha, as I recall?

HMMmmmm your luck sounds a lot like mine! LOL..

Now, about that puppy?!?!?!

Yesterday my new steering wheel showed up. Today my new radio showed up. I popped the old one out to see if it would fit. It just barely clears the hvac controls. It is a motorized screen so maybe I can tilt it up a little to be able to see it better. I have been working on my grill shell. What a PITA this is. I really have had a notion to buy a NOS one after doing this. It won't be perfect, but it will be way nicer than any one I've had yet.

I started by removing the anodizing a couple months back. Then I started pounding out dents and goudges. Now I've been sanding all the imperfections out. I'm at 180 grit and have to go clear up to 1200 or 1500. It should look nice, but it's a real PITA! I got an email that said my front bumper is done too! So when it gets here, I'll test fit it then get it to a coater or paint it myself.
