There was a fire in yorkshire on Saturday at the old Ames store. 3 kids ended up getting arrested for setting that one. That one was a y'all come if Ive ever heard one... they had everyone and their brother there.

We just got some bad news recently. Our Allison MT-740 Transmission is starting to crap out, it is looking like a minimum $7,000 job. So here we go, ???????????, what are we going to do. Maybe LT, would like to add this problem to his spend money on CDL's answer .... lol Thanks again.. Tom
