JAWS OF LIFE

NEW BUSINESS
Batson reported that he had the oil in Truck-3 changed at James Hodge Ford.  There was no charge for this service, since it was the first oil change.  Middleton made a motion to keep having the oil changed at James Hodge Ford, so there would not be any problems with the factory warranty on the Truck-3.  Donaldson seconded.  All members in favor.  Motion carries.
