I intend to apply it in on a new addition to my farm tractor fleet.
I've got 5 now and my wife says I can only drive one at a time.

But it saves alot of time hooking and unhooking.

Sounds good anyways.

I've never understood people who get excited about a tax refund. It was your money the whole time, not a present from Uncle Sam.
If I had a little extra each paycheck, I'd just waste it.

I claim zero everything so I get back a nice chunk of change every spring.

It's the least I can do to keep the goverment running like a well oiled machine.
It's much safer than under the mattress .

And it makes every March like christmas .

Just bought some Chromed Aluminum Westin Oval Tube Steps and plan to pay off the remaining balance on our home equity loan, then the RAM is totally paid.

Tfeore - That extra will be quickly used up, and I imagine well before the 18th BDay. I actually made a bit of money on our second child, he was born on Dec. 31, 2001, got to claim him for the child tax refund, which at that time I think was $600. I figure that will be the only money I'll ever make on either of my kids.

I'm not really worried about it at home.
Lived there for almost 36 years and never heard of a car stolen from my neighborhood.
I have had a couple previous trucks broken into and accessories pilfered though.
Both times it had to have been kids, considering what was taken, and what was left behind.

I am more worried about it sitting at the Trax station for 10 hours every day.
Don't want to hop off the train to find my truck has wandered off without me.

I've been having to take public transportation since KUTV moved downtown.
My truck is a wee bit tall to fit in any of the parking down there.
Even the uncovered parking was designed around Honda's, too narrow and too short for my truck.

What do you mean REFUND, I just hope we can get out with paying the low 5 figures. I was going thru Quick Books the other day and just figuring in my head, best I can come up with we will still OWE over 15K, so Ya'll have fun spending MY money and we asked some customers that had invoices due in December, to NOT pay until January, they thought we was nuts, but didn't mind at all. I LOVE this so called BAD economy, because I only had to work half a day today at the pump shop. The machine shop that we own 1/2 of was off today
