That all changed today when I started a new position at work, working from home (Prosser) 7-3:30 M-F. I will have plenty of time to make it to meetings and maybe even work on my multiple pro...

SB5200 – volunteers Pooling Discover Pass hours

SB5200 would allow spouses to pool their volunteer hours for the purpose of earning a free Discover Pass. It is very similar to 2013 / 2014 Senate Bill SB5097 and 2015 / 2016 Senate Bill SB5205. We came very close to passing those two bills. There was close to zero opposition, it is just not an urge...

Re: 1972 K5 "start them young"

one of the other reasons I bought the K5 is my son. he loves it and when he gets a little older we will rebuild it together and he will learn life long skills and have a nice truck for school that he built himself. the proud owner once I had it up and running http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad285...

Re: Insurance

we have progressive for auto and renters insurance but the house we are buying is not in a "covered area" for home owners insurance. so we are shopping around for a home owners policy and may or may not move our vehicle policy also.
