Best,

Did I mention the saffron?
I may be poor, but, I spend my money wisely!

(When you taste my cooking, it's like the big pleasure exploding in your mouth!)

Oh, Lord....

I didn't just say that, did I?
That could be taken so wrong....

LOL!!! That just cracked me up!!!!

I'm sure that I understand.

I've seen so many replacement trucks lately that I'm not sure anymore of just what I really want....

Time to slow it down~~ don't be an "impulse buyer."

Perhaps like me, you have more time than money?

My Best,

Scott

The problem is I want all the boats! Lol!
I'm looking to "steal" a boat, I just thoroughly enjoy buying something for pennies on the dollar. I'm in no hurry so I'm just enjoying the hunt.

I hope you are able to narrow down your own search for a pickup. I'm glad I'm all set on vehicles at the moment (hopefully many,many moments) I thoroughly LOVE my old dodge! If you want a full size truck I would suggest a older dodge diesel like mine. They still sell for good money though, not uncommon to see a 22 year old truck selling for $10,000 or more. Worth every penny if you ask me, I've got well over 400,000 miles on mine!!

Soooo, Friday morning I set my sons iPad down on the steps and the screen shattered!!! Now I'm sick to my stomach about it as that thing was close to $600!!!
So I called around to see about getting it fixed and it was going to be $170!!!
So I started looking on Amazon to buy parts and I'll fix it...then it hit me, check to see if the AppleCare I purchased when we bought it was still in effect...it was for three more days!!!!! That was close!!!!
Stopped into the mall yesterday and they gave us a new iPad, and replaced his iPod touch (under warranty). All fixed!!! Walked in with two broken items and walked out with two new items!!!
Perfect! That's the only extended warranty I've ever purchased in my life and it actually paid off!!!

Scott so good to hear of real food and not 1000 ways to cook Ramen! Proud of you buddy! But my stomach says you and Uncle Bill can keep those peppers 🤒

 

[bill from lachine]

2GF,

Haven't you heard the expression what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...lol.

Here's the habanero plant in all it's glory....maybe they don't show up very well but there's at least 20 good size green peppers on this plant and waiting for them to turn red before harvesting....the texmex crowd would be so proud...lol.

Yes sir but lately I've been having some serious issues while living on a bland diet I'm still bleeding out both ends. Oh well maybe some sneers August 22nd, we'll see. Guys my wife is having one hell of a time about this drive by shooting. It's really tearing her down......I'm here for her. Thank god they didn't enter the store!!!!

 

[bill from lachine]

2GF,

Better have that bleeding issue sorted out....you have to stay strong and healthy for your loved ones.

Thanks Uncle Bill. I went outside the VA get my test results soon. Folks I must have a dark cloud over my head. My wife's boss comes up here from Vero and stays in a hotel for a few days because she has dr appointments here. When she does that my wife stays with her because of her age and medical conditions. So this morning my wife asked me to call her so she can come home and see our granddaughter off for her first day of kindergarten. About 10 minutes later my wife called me back screaming and crying. Somebody broke into her car[emoji31] I calmed her down finally and asked what was taken. The radar detector was in plain view, didn't touch it..... They got in her center console and stole her ash tray where she kept all of her change. When she got home, there was no forced entry and I found some change laying in the floor!!!!! The cops said thieves will park in a lot with a laptop and hit numbers until the lights come on indicating the doors are unlocked. Her boss had a bag of some apple phone accessories, they cleaned that out and took all her change!!!!!! Time to move......or become Dirty Harry........man she is still shaking. This is not good. I told her forget the Dacshund, start traveling with the Pitbull!!!!! They said probably some kids or crackheads needing money!!!!! Dang that's 2. One time , shame on me, 2 times shame on you!!!!!! Keep head on a swivel bad stuff happens in threes and momma is scared....... Not like her.

 

[releventchair]

Both cases are insults,perceived as threats by her.
While feeling targeted personally, right place wrong time seems more likely.
All those years of combat vs her being around one gun attack , you still can't say welcome to my world.
She won't get it ,nor was she trained for it.
She can ,without ruining her quality of life ,continue to enhance her situational awareness,without paranoia.

Well said my friend.Well said.

My locksmith Friend and I went to Arcadia,
Georgia last week to make a key for an early 2000 model Lexus SUV.

Dude had bought it at an auction, without hearing it run for it had no key to start.

He took a chance. A BIG chance.

The body wasn't damaged, the interior clean.

To make a key for this model, it had to be "Flashed" to accept a new key.
That involves removing the control module behind the glove box.
Yeah.
I said, "BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX!
Not "In" the glove box....

The first 2-3 I've ever removed were a pain...
They are now getting easier....
10 minutes and this one was in my hand!
We "flash" it, I reinstall it, plug all the wires back in,
Cut a "chip" key to factory specs, program it and within a total of 30 minutes,

The Lexus started, sounded good and ran!

COLD AC!

Our fee?
I think $225.00.

That included everything, even the mileage of the "Service Call."


Oh, What did dude pay for this $8000 vehicle at the auction?

$231.00.

I offered a grand right there.
Should I have offered more?

He smiled and I told him that I was looking for a truck....

He said that he has one I'd like that he's putting a new motor in
and to check back with him in a week or so!

Best Wishes,

Scott

Cool story Scott! I love getting deals like you just described!!! The deals are definitely out there! Just need patience.
I'm going to look at a sailboat Friday night. Available with or without motor. Just so happens I have a almost mint condition 4.5 Mercury in the shop. Slightly small for the boat, but will work just fine. He is kinda proud of the brand new motor on the boat, so I'll leave that with him. Boat comes with galvanized trailer with all new tires, lights, and main, jib and storm sail. Looks to be in excellent condition.

A Merc 4.5 should work, unless you are trying to outrun somebody, for some reason....

Put your love into her and then....

Flip it!

But don't fall in love...(Though) She's a beauty....

Mission complete!

My locksmith Friend an I went today to give a quote on a couple of faulty locks.

At the local Army Reserve center.

We were met with an SSG, and, slung upon his shoulder, an older M-16.

"A 30 round clip and the dust flap shut,
Few know what I saw, I'll tell you what!"

We talked though he was quite young....

But, Brothers once, Brothers for Life!

"A 30 round clip and the dust flap shut,

(Who would notice this s...? Scott? You bet!)

Drooling.

Say, Unca Bill, I'll pay postage to see some of those peppers to my door.

I'm an "Amateur" Botanist and my thing is Hybrids.

Just think of the Drug dogs sniffing about the Mail House with that package........

What?

Certainly you are laughing as I am now!

PM me if we can make a connection!

My Best Wishes,

Scott

Interested in sending a couple my way?

Scott,

I'll see what I can do when they ripen up....actually probably the best bet to avoid them getting crushed in transit I'll put some in my dehydrator and then grind them in a food processor then it's just a matter of you adding a bit to your favorite foods....that should work.
