Going to Grand Rapids airport today to pick up my wife and granddaughter, they left for Orlando Fl. a week ago to visit with her family. It's been pretty quiet around here for the past week, managed to get in a little fishing, bought a new Silverado truck, think I've got the pesky leak in my boat sealed up (fingers crossed) had my grandson over for a 2 day visit, watered flowers and mowed the lawn, did some grocery shopping, and still got in time at work.........

It feels like I've been the one on vacation

This might be a long shot but what the heck. I'm in the market for a different truck. My 99 GMC is quickly approaching 300,000 miles so I'm starting the search for her replacement. I've searched the dealerships on line and am suffering sticker shock. What I'm looking for is a GMC or Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 extended cab, 5.3 engine. 2012 or 2013. What I'm hoping for is to finding someone who is buying or leasing a new vehicle and was going to trade in their old truck. I could pay more than trade in value so it would be a win for both parties. I'll be buying something within the next month or two so if anybody out there has something that they are looking to get rid of shoot me a PM. Thanks guys. Hope I didn't hurt any feelings by not asking for a Ford or Ram but I'm a GM guy.

You might also throw a "wanted" add in the C.com classified forum.

Jerry, I just traded in my gently used 2014 Chevy Silverado in at Team One (Charlotte) Im telling you there was nothing wrong with it but I put on 35,000 miles working in Kentucky, and the only reason I traded it in. Loaded.....nice......well taken care of!

My contact there is Simon Nathan, call him and see if he still has it.

Nice looking truck. I'll give him a call but am afraid it might be out of my price range. Darn budgets! My neighbor is also looking for a truck so maybe he'll grab it if I don't.

Still looking for a pickup. No responses on the main forum, how about locally.

Not having much luck with lake st clair other than white bass so my brother and I are heading inland to try out walled lake. Any tips are welcome as we have no idea what we are getting into. Of course we're putting in our research too.

Nevermind. Didn't realize how private walled lake is. Changed our direction to kent lake

I got me a Crappie.com care pckage in the mail yesterday.
I was in need of a new fishing hat, and after seeing Slabsrus looking all fantastic in his "Crappies and Smallies" post wearing a blue one, I knew that was the hat I needed to take my style to the next level.
so I bought one... Which lead to buying a shirt... Which lead to buy some stickers...
And when I opened the box I was surprised to find a couple more stickers and some jig bodies I didn't order...
Thanks Slab. I appreciate the extras!
