Things are looking up.

I went to check the remaining balance on my truck thinking I had 1 or 2 more bi-weekly payments. I was wrong. After today's normal payment, my balance was $0.69. So I grabbed a dollar from my wallet and went and paid it off.

I am now driving a '99 Ford F-250 Super Duty that is all mine - not the bank's.

After getting the IRS letter last week, I needed good news, and sure got it with this.

Thanks for your prayers, everyone. They answer quickly.

Only kidding.

I pulled a Chuck Ludwigsen this week and got a load of free wood from the side of the road. Three eight foot Osage Orange logs about 30 inches in diameter and one Sweetgum about the same size. Then an Arborist friend brought me a trailer load of white oak, all cut to 18 inches. He promises to bring me all the different types of wood I can use, all cut to about 18 inches. My cost, $5 a load for his gas.

I'm still praying that your situation will work out well. I have an issue with the IRS also. I made a withdrawal from my 401K at the end of the year that I hadn't planned on making. Since I'm retired and that was the only real income I had I paid the taxes on it at the beginning of this year. Now they want a bunch of money because I didn't estimate my taxes quarterly throughout the year. It'll work out after a bunch of letter writing.

>Chuck, if paying off your truck makes you feel good just wait until you pay off your house. It's a great feeling!
