Well Bonnie was right to think Colin would do best with my brother, BUT Greg's youngest is 24 yo! Pretty big ask! Like our older sister and her kids. And me!

I'd tell Colin's Dad to step up and be a Dad. Since he and your sister later got married and the kid lived with them under one roof, that piece of paper ain't crap. As most are written it isn't a promise to take him, it is he can go live if them if needed.
Besides that the with Colin being 14 the court and a whole lot of other people will have to sign off on it. Tell Greg not to let him in the house unless he is really considering taking him on. If he does and the court and social services already sees he is living there it will be really tempting for them to leave him there.

Yeah, I feel bad for the kid though. No one wants him is the thought going around in his head right now

Well said..
We took in our niece for a while at about that age. Did paperwork as legal guardian. Just to get her in a different environment and change direction on some bad influences. Was totally open ended on our part to send her back to her parents. As long as father is living I can't imagine the agreement would be binding. If at all.
 
I'm glad I checked the news for Canyon Speedway. They resolved their issues and are back in operation. Comes at a good time too. My brat just called me yesterday to inform me the littlest granbrat gets baptized 3/10 (March Meet weekend). Looks like I'll go visit the dirt track instead of the drags. :D

I can understand Grandmother wanting out, but that's a real kick in the head for any kid to not be wanted no matter how 'bad' he is. But it should be father who has to sort it out. Big issue is if courts say father not suitable to take him in.

The thing is, when they signed the paper, they were not married. Bonnie and James. AND they might still not be... we are not sure...AND Bonnie said she did not want James to raise Colin. Specifically..

That paper should have been re visited for sure.

If he is biological father, he is only living parent. Unless there was a court intervention to keep father away from the kid, I doubt anything she said would matter much now.

If it had been acted on. And they had taken him in while sis was alive I don't think there would be any question that it would continue. But I don't think it has much bearing unless they wanted custody and were goin to fight for it. Was there any legal paper trail for him living with grandmother? If so that would certainly override the 'agreement' Greg made since it actually happened. Don't know if court would push for her to keep him or some other arrangement.

Gonna be some snow to move here. Looks like 6+ expected. Will change by early evening, progressing through sleet and freezing rain and finish with at least a couple hours of rain. If I don't clear it while its still snow I suspect I will have a few inches of slush by tomorrow. Wuddafugginmess :BangHead:
Don't know if I will try to make it to work. :steering: Have to see if they keep up with clearing roads by time to go in. Maybe go in a 7 for half shift...
 
Looks like at least 3" so far. A few vehicles moving. Fed ex driving past.. I am on State route 74. Don't think much will be moving on side roads today.

Back from physio. No go.
And a bunch of work showed up. Great. I will just get on with it.
Maybe friday it will get fixed.
 
When I first got it the Neon would idle rough at every stop. Seams to be smoothing out. MPG is improving as well. First tank got 23.7mpg, filled last night and it is up to 25.3. Think I will run a couple more tankfulls and add some cleaner. Don't want to loosen up too much too quick and clog something up. They were rated 25city 32hwy. So already in the ballpark. I rarely even made the low end of ratings with the Magnum. Was usually around 17-18 Made 20 for a short time with new plugs

nice! Might get with KeganB on here, he's a neon freak and might know a few ways to tweak stuff
 
I’ve been working in these Argo’s for 20years and wrenching in general for 40. I have never seen a brake pad deteriorate from the middle. :wtf:
