*** UPDATE ***
hello everyone, well this weekend, we packed up the durango and went to ney york to pick up the armatus and a 30" tiger shovelnose and to stop at h2o aquatics to get a dead bdxleo replaced, well we made it to h20aquatics and mike replaced the baby ray that had died for me, great guy, and then on our way to the other stop to get the armatus, the motor overheated and died on us, so we called home and got another car to drive the 9 hours to where we were - 22210 northern blvd,bayside, NY, (we were sleeping inside the truck) and the police showed up and had us towed, it cost us 75.00 and the tow truck seriously took us about 500 feet off the offramp on to the side of the road and unhooked us, and when our other ride showed up from cleveland it was about 2am, we tried to jump the durango and it started but with the loudest rod knok i have ever heard, so we got a motel room for the night at royal inn, for 98.00 and it was terrible, they had little tiny beds that my feet stuck off about 9-12 inches and no batteries in the remote for the tv, well anyway they had a free continental breakfast in the morning, at least there was something to look forward to, well when we got up we went and tried to get breakfast and it turned out to be 2 bagels and coffe was sitting there, wow, so we went to bk for breakfast and then headed back to the durango, what we did was empty the truck out and took our plates and left the truck at burger king "the manager said we coulkd leave it for the night" and we found someone that was going to pick it up in the morning to scrap the truck which is a shame as we just bought it for 2000 dollers about 6 months ago and had it sold for 2500 this weekend, so that was a total loss, and we still have to go back for the armatus and tigershovelnose this week,
also we had just filled the tank about a half hour before it blew up, so there was 70 dollers worth of gas left in the truck, and about 300 total for the gas for both cars and then the cost of the truck so all together it cost me 2300 to go get a free bdxleo,
and i still have to go back to get the other fish that i wanted in the first place, since i dont have any large tiger shovelnose in my catfish pool, it needed to be added,
so i will let you guys know more as this happens, i took a bunch of pics that i can throw up here if you guys want
take care
