100k once again

[Mark Rinker]

2009 K3500 turned over 100K miles last week on the way home from Florida. Thats 85K miles in 18 months since picking it up in a trade at Missoula, MT.

New set of skins, all fluids (oil, front/rear diffs, xfer case, transmission) changed after snow plowing season, and ready for hauling some boats...

Like a rock! :D

Over 100,000? Aren't you about ready for a new one?

If things go as planned my 2005 will be sold prior to hitting the 100k mark. Just ordered a new 2012 same config as my 2005 and as soon as it comes in the 2005 goes to it's new owner.

98k in a bit over 7 years...:D

Ed - stripped off the plow and hardware/wiring harness yesterday SOLD. No plans to hang another one.

Moving boats this season until the doldrums of late summer set in. My plan at that point is to sell the trailer. Moving to Seattle in the fall, after my son gets settled here into college. We will still keep our house here for the time being - just a small apt/condo there.

Not sure whats next. Maybe another small biz, or maybe a job at a marina, boat dealership, or ???.

Hopefully keep the 2009 K3500 around - get it paid off and slow down all the miles rolling on.

Big change Mark. Are you moving your boat to Seattle as well?

[Mark Rinker]

Yes, my mentor in the biz will move it on his lowboy semi rig. Radar arch can stay up that way, makes transport prep alot easier. There is a small possibility that I may buy a larger tractor/trailer and move it myself, but its not looking likely as I don't have the funds and am ready for a change of occupation as well as a change of scenery. Want to stay in the same industry (marine) but reduce the road time and 100+ nights per year in hotel rooms.
