Anyone buy and sell vehicles or fourwheelers on the side?

Once I "retire" from the military in about 6 years, I plan on keeping myself busy with a number of side jobs that I enjoy, one will be running 501Parts, and the other will be finding cars and trucks that I can fix up and sell. I have dabbled in it a little before and I truly enjoy it. I do all of my own work so I wouldn’t have to pay anyone, and mostly deal with small 4 cyl trucks, they sell really well around here.

Just wondering how many actually dabble in buying and selling vehicles or fourwheelers? Any thoughts on getting a dealers license and having a small scale operation selling 1-2 cars a month for supplemental income?

Anyone go to Vegas A lot?

Wife surprised me with a Vegas trip for Xmas! We both have never been and we have to plan a few things like,where to stay,places we should see,Places we Should avoid etc.

We’re not looking for the most expensive hotels,but something decent and we’re not sure if we want to be smack dab in the middle of the strip,or towards the ends. I seen like the Flamingo was in the middle and a couple of places like Excaliber and Luxor were at the end of the strip,Those were just a few we were thinking of staying at. I think it would be better to stay in the middle as walking would probably be easier and see more things,,but then we would constantly be in the thick of things,So what do you think is better?

We also plan to rent a car for the week we will be there so we can go drive around and take a trip to the grand canyon,Should this be a deciding factor on where we will stay,be easier to leave at the end of the strip,,or all about the same?

I never been anywhere near that side of the country,and was interested in some sand dunes,I seen a few places rent buggies called "I think" baja dunes chase,and I seen another place that rents those polaris Rzr’s,there all pretty pricey,These places worth about $400 for a hour or two?

Im sure I’ll have other questions as time goes on,were going the last week in march so we got some time.

So if you have some good advice on the few things I mentioned or anything Vegas related,Let me know.
Thanks!

Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas,
Double fisted I was,
For simply no reason,
Other than just because.

And then I remembered,
I must load my sleigh,
Then single fisted,
I thought about the long day.

Not a creature was creeping,
At least that’s what they say,
Somehow they forgot the coondogs,
Who came around for Christmas Eve play.

With a few inches of snow already on the ground, its starting to get worse in Ridgway, Colorado.
The snow is blowing sideways and starting to pile up, and the forecast here is no better for the next few days if the weatherman is right.
Travel is slowing down, with avalanches running on the mountain passes.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (no spoilers)

Please do not post any spoilers out of respect for those who haven’t seen it yet.

Anyone had a chance to see it yet? My son, 12 years old, has been talking non-stop about it for the last few months and we finally went to see it last night. The whole experience brought back a lot of memories of when I saw the original Star Wars when I was 11. Standing in line waiting, seeing it in a large, packed theater shortly after it was released. We actually didn’t plan on seeing it this early after release but you could tell my son was about to burst and really wanted to see it very bad.

My son, and the family loved it. Go see it if you haven’t and it is one of those must see large screen movies. We did see the IMAX 3D version.

Interesting story line. Although I did see the trailers, I avoided any other information on the movie. It will be real interesting to see where the story line goes from here.
