3 big Gloats!!!!!!!! Long

>Yup that�s right. Three gloats in one week. First off I bought a new fully loaded 2003 Durango RT for the better half. With the rebates and the family discount from Chrysler I just couldn�t pass it up. No Hemi though but it dose have the 5.9-liter and can pull 7500 pounds so I can live with that.
Second I was planning to buy a new lathe (that was part of the deal with my better half, new car for a new lathe) so I was looking at the Powermatic 3520a. But that changed real quick, when my wife came home from work and was really sick. That is the number three and the biggest one of all. Let me fill you in a little, we have one son, Hunter, and he was born only though the grace of god and medical science. He was the last set of embryos to be put in and the last hope. God was good to us. However the doctors said that we would never be able to have kids on our own. So a little over two years later (or two weeks ago) my wife came home with the best sickness in the world to us! And after two trips the drug store and not believing the EPT the doctor�s blood work said that we are going to have a second child. And how could life get any better after that, well read on.
Now back to the number 2 Gloat, I started thinking that maybe a jet was more in the price line now that a baby is on the way. Until my wonderful wife said that I should get the Powermatic 4224 (she knew this is the one I really wanted) because once the baby comes we might not have the money to spend on a new lathe. Well let me tell you that it took all of about 3 seconds to call General industrial supply to see if they had one. And they did, and now they don�t. But I have one now in my shop. I couldn�t believe I bought it on Monday and they shipped it out Friday and I picked it up from the terminal on Saturday. I would tell you the truck line but I work for them and I don�t want to go there.
Well thanks for listening to me ramble but I don�t think a 2x4 to the back of the head could knock off the smile on my face. And I have just been telling everybody the great news and thought I should share it with you all.
