I lost 100lbs when I stopped drinking sugared soft drinks and ice tea
sweetened with sugar. My drink of choice is Diet Mountain Dew then a
sports drink like Gatorade or Powerade in the hot summer days because I
sweat like a thunderstorm. The hot weather is on the way and I'm not
sure what I'm going to be able to do without help. Me and JH have been
looking for a young sober guy around 50 years old to help us with the
climbing and wire pulling. When I was in my 50's I was up and down
ladders all day long and now I'm lucky to get up on a step stool. It's
very frustrating to be unable to do physically demanding activities as
I once did without thinking about it. I finally got my old van back from
the garage where I had the transmission replaced and I now have my own
wheels again and don't have to depend on JH or Stinky to get to places I
have to go. Then Friday, I found something on Craigs List I'd been
looking for. I bought a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee that a towing company
had towed in for the cops and the owner never tried to retrieve it. The
owner of the towing company had a clear title to the Jeep and
transferred it to me so I can get a tag Monday then add it to my auto
insurance. I'd been driving my Dodge Ram B150 for years and when I
stepped out of the full sized van, got into the Jeep and took off down
the road, it was like getting out of a Buick Electra 225 then driving
off in an MG. It's has the 4.0 liter straight 6, 4 speed automatic
transmission and rear drive. The Jeep runs and drives great and I won't
have to repair any major mechanical problems or the body which is in
very good shape. The Radio and spare tire are missing and some of the
whizzbang gadgets aren't working but that will be a lot of fun to figure
out and repair. At least I have two vehicles now and won't get stranded
again. ^_^

Dufas, JH, Stinky, and Stormy. I kind of like that
company name. Dufas, and associates.

Congrats on the Jeep. Does it have four wheel drive
to go through snow?
