Well, the other truck is officially gone.
They came and picked it up at 1:30-2AM this morning... I don't know why.
I called the lender a few days back to do a voluntary repo, which they said fine. We came to a conclusion, and they AGREED that I would turn it over by Friday. I would take it anywhere they wanted, ie., towing/repo lot. Again, they agreed.
So last night I could not sleep, stayed up watching TV.........and what do I hear out side... A tow truck
I get dressed and grab the keys. Go out, finish taking out whatever was in the truck, un hook my trailer, and handed over the keys. I talked to the guy about it, about dropping it off, and he said, the lender said to pick it up. So, I was lied to from the lender, or someone cannot put things in a file.......
I ended up staying up until 5:30 AM, sitting outside thinking things over.....
I decided, while I was outside, to unbolt everything in the trailer. Empty the water tank, and mock up the bed of the truck. I got the tank, generator, and pressure washer mocked up for the following morning, so I could drill a few holes. Neighbors would have love it if I were drilling at 3 AM...lol
I also put most of my chemicals in Totes and bins and put them in the back of the truck, in the extended cab part behind the front seats....
I got a lot accomplished that early in the morning...lol
Working under the moon light..
Fell asleep @ 6AM and woke up about 9AM. Finished up the truck and gave it a bath. Looks great. The white has a red tint to it, like a pearl paint job. I'll get some pics later. I have to wash up and get a few jobs done today!

Kirk, Not getting rid of the trailer. The truck does not have a hitch on it yet, so I mounted the big things in the bed of the truck. I will soon get a hitch when money allows...lol
Princess..... Son is doing good. Has testing coming up soon...again...lol
Oh, and BTW, the truck was dirty when I bought it. I knew it was repainted. It had a reddish tint to it. I thought I was seeing things...It actually has a slight red tint. It is Pearl paint...........sweeeeet
