Afternoon all-if there are any.
The temps are going into a freeze cycle for the next 3 or 4 days.
Not sure if it's going to do a total freeze or just a crusty horn crust.
Sadly it looks like we're going to have a green Xmas this year, not anything in the forecast to speak of regarding the white stuff.

We have a couple of store bought tomatoes to use up tonight. I'll probably roast them to up the flavour.

Just gleaming over the morning news and $Cha-Ching$
That's right fellow Canucks-listen up we have won!! Big against Microsoft Canada. Those dirty rascals got caught and the class action settlement of $517 MILLION is going payed out in claims-$117 million in legal.
Now before we run out and buy that new toy, home, or boat we need to file a claim (100,000 have done so already) to get the $$$. No receipts needed. This dates back from 1998-2010 for most operating systems.

The agreement allows consumers in Canada, without receipts, to claim up to $250 for their Microsoft PC software, such as Windows, Office, Word, Excel or MS-DOS, purchased between Dec. 23, 1998 and March 11, 2010.

There's more outlined in the news article about the claim.

[FONT=Open Sans, sans-serif]For individuals with a claim of more than $250, proof of purchase is required for any amount over that figure[/FONT]

[FONT=Open Sans, sans-serif]Time to dig those dusty old receipts out!! [/FONT]

Morning Bill

Good morning fellas.


I finally sold those STG44 and MP44 Magazines, as well as some arrowheads and stuff, making well over $1,000 profit.

Before that though, I managed to pick up some goodies at an antique shop in Huntington WV. A WWII Victory Medal, a WWII Good Conduct medal (my great grandfather earned both) and a WWI British Brodie helmet, all for under $50. I also bought a huge lot of relics found in the vicinity of Elsenborne Ridge, Belgium, where the Germans met stiff American resistance during the battle of the bulge. By the way, tomorrows the 74th anniversary of the battle...

Good morning Rusty glad you're still having success wheeling and dealing in relics and artifacts.
