Here's the new truck. It's a Chevy Duramax Diesel, Heavy Duty, 2500, crew cab, long bed, Z71 off road package - Big Dawg. It's a little bit of a tradition that my family names their big trucks. Jerry has voted that we name it the U.S.S. Enterprise for several reasons, this was in an email we got from him (Jerry hope you don't mind me sharing your creativity):
"well so many big grey and/or silver things come to mind. The Hindenburg...but that blew up. The Titanic...but that sunk. The Bismark...but that was blown up AND sunk. Dumbo...but he was a fat elephant that cried. How about the USS Enterprise...that was huge, had warp speed, 12 phasers, and last but not least-a supply of 250 photon torpedoes." The only other name we have came up with is Max. So here's the beast:
We spent the Fourth at Mom and Dad's. We had a really nice time and got to see just about everyone while we were in town. We of course spent lots of time shooting fireworks and then the next day spent time at the pond fishing and shooting. We also sprayed lots of plants with herbicide. Joel and I planted some aquatic plants in Mom and Dad's pond about two years ago and one of the kinds, the American Lotus has gotten a little out of hand.
I hope you all also had a great Fourth of July weekend!

I LOVE your new truck!!! Congratulations!! That is VERY exciting. It is so nice. I wish I had a cool name to through in the hat.
I need to spend a 4th with you guys. We haven't been able to shoot off our own fireworks in years! One of the negatives of living in the city. One of the last times was probably years ago when I went with you guys out to your grandma's.
Love y'all!!!
Well, I like U.S.S. Enterprise... but I like Max, too.
