Island Of Misfits

[ROSTERMAN]

Well, remember -- I studied under Professor von Votsisnehm. I did a bit of subterfuge, and learned to walk on my other "leg".

Nothing but Chevy's and Buicks for the longest time. Still Chevys for my girls, but I've branched off. One Ford, two Jeeps, and my biggest folly, a RR. Also had a Dodge truck (never again) and a Caddy hearse. Caddy got 7 miles to the gallon, and the Dodge was a quick replacement for a Chevy that got murdered. 67 MPH off a cliff, with a tailwind.

Chevys, Fords, Dodges, Cadillac's, Chrysler, Rambler, Sunbeams, Jaguar, Volkswagons, Mercedes, but no rice burners other than bikes,

Ummmm, ya think? Hee, hee, hee........

61F @ 79% RH, cloudy, and predicted to reach 74F.

Covid hospitalizations for Covid up 500% in Oregon and ICU space full.

My implant site with the broken post screw has gotten infected, so I started a regiment of Clindamycin.

My younger cousin Johnny died from Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. I'm currently the oldest of us'n cuzzins, though not the purdiest.

Did you have to pay full sticker price or did they give you such a deal? I heard they are short on cars to sell and are asking top dollar again. I was going to Cash a new truck but not anymore

I got a helluva deal. There is a way to pay less when wasting your money on a car.

The overview: We drove up to the dealership, parked our 11-year old Camry and got out.

We never saw it again. The car on the showroom floor was what we drove home. As a floor model, it had all the bells and baubles. Color TV, radar steering and speed controls, recognition of owner entering the car... All kindsa Star Trek stuff.

When we had finished the bargaining and a really good price got offered, I pulled out the money.

Always pay cash. Just don't tell them that is gonna happen. The price dealerships sell showroom models is always pretty bare-bones for them; they make their money on 5-Year Easy Fargin Payment Plans.

Only thing is, ya best be squeaky clean when you pay cash for something that cost 10K or more. The dealer is required to report the purchase to law enforcement/feds.
Same thing if'n you buy more than one handgun in the same day, which I've done many times.

Put 9,999.99 down. Finance balance. Pay off in 9,999.00 payments until done. No 1099 form, right-right?

Good point.

But at the 80+ years of age demographic, every one of us is absolutely squeaky clean and awaiting a vacancy in the Trinity...

OR so well-connected that the law/fed dudes instantly hit the 'erase' button on their phone and take the rest of the day off.

It really is a fargin demographic: Long time married couple* paid for house* paid for car* retired professional* over 80.

Thems folks like us have benefited/profited from all the asterisked above. We had time... lots of time -- always as a team. Not ever, over 60 years as competitors.

Nifty demographic to be in. But ya most ricky-tick gotta earn yer ticket. Takes a heckuva long time, for one thing.

When ya thinks onnit, I guess that's ipso facto, prima facie the only thing.

Been thinkin' though -- This worries me a tad... thought we had a deal.

Honey, I fall in love with you at some point every day.

@ROSTERMAN , remember this? I don't want you to quit making fun of me.

No, you do not have that pyramid deal. Remember tomb robbers? Our only tomb is that in which we have lived.

I truly believe that Christ knocks at the door at the end of life, even for nonbelievers. I witnessed this firsthand, when my late Al was in his last days. His body was failing. He had a strong spirit, but was not Christian. He experienced stigmata in his hands. I knew it was Christ calling.

I've paid my credit card off every month and paid cash for everything except real estate since about 1980, including cars, so have no doubt drawn attention multiple times.

Some auto CAD work designing new window boxes for one of the duplexes

I contacted the city and pled my case over the $1200 water bill and they agreed that no permit was required for a simple repair on the backside of the sprinkler RP device and to send out an inspector to verify that my meter wasn't still steadily running, after which they would adjust the bill to reflect the same period's usage last year. About $400.
