It is not possible to have too many guns, let the children buy their own

Now I’m glad I bought all my plywood 6 yrs ago, when I bought the house. Had a plan, and a $5000 credit card.3/4” 4x8 sturdifloor T&G plywood, maybe 15 pcs. They were $23, 1/2” 4 ply plywood, about 20 pcs. at $15. Along with all the drywall, insulation, interior doors, and 8 vinyl windows. All great prices. Wood and drywalls still in the garage, Lol. Ran out of time and money. Tried to get it together, while renting, for about 8 mos. It was killing me to pay high interest on the credit card. Paid it off quick though. Finally moved in, as is. Cleared out my storage unit. I have all like new kitchen cabinets. Whirlpool bath, Nice vanity, a lot was purchased from Craigslist, back when there were actually some good deals on materials. All that’s left to buy is hardwood floors and a High efficiency furnace and water heater. Maybe $4k at most. Just doing a little at a time these days. Meanwhile the house ( finished ) has more than doubled in price, I’ve paid off almost 20% of the mortgage. About to drop the pmi. Yeah it’s very unconventional. But after being in a Truck for weeks, it’s just fine. Meanwhile my roofs losing shingles. Debating on paying a roofer. Probably will. Some things are just beyond my physical abilities anymore. Materials are $2k alone. Probably a $5k job. Roofs most important, once it starts leaking, problems arise quick. So it goes. I’m glad I bought everything when I did. Prices are crazy. I used to get dog eared fence boards for $1 each. Build a 8’ section for $25, posts were $7-$8. That’s something that will have to wait. Maybe I’ll live long enough to post some progress in the future. Now I’m dealing with working around everything. Exactly what I was trying to avoid in the beginning.

When in doubt on climbing a roof... DON'T. Pay him to fall, you stay able to work and pay him. (Also use architectural shingles) Cost more, last longer, do not blow away. Don't pay high to get a cheap roof put on.

And that leads to the conclusion you would prefer a new pistol to a happy wife? Not my experience; but then, that was with my wife.

This is too much like work. Added another 100 on ag exemption. Loaded trailer waiting for me but it’s another 120 I’m all used up. Fresh attack tomorrow wishing I was younger like cattleman.

I'm in direct contact with brokers, rather than working for a company, they evaluate who they do business with using your MC# as your ID. So when one of our guys calls and agrees to a rate/load even without the Rate Confirmation sheet it's basically considered a done deal, and nobody else SHOULD be able to steal it from under you while waiting on paperwork. Unfortunately, some less honorable individuals will agree to a rate, keep shopping for better loads, and then "fall off" the load they agreed to. Once this happens enough times, even if you didn't do it, you're burned because of their behavior.[/QUOTE

I had the displeasure of eating at a Subway today, but not because of the food. I get behind a very, very old gentleman, or at the very least he's seen a hard life...probably both. He's clearly uncomfortable with the situation, probably hasn't frequented places like this much, if at all.

The young guy behind the counter, who would rather be sitting on his arse at home collecting a Covid check, asks the old guy what kind of bread he wants, and not in a very polite manner I might add. The fella has NO idea what bread he can choose and this clearly flusters the man while the kid stands there, doing absolutely NOTHING to help, waiting for the man to make a decision. The older guy is getting a bit more confused as the kid stands there motionless staring at him. I couldn't take it.
PLEASE TELL THE MAN WHAT BREAD YOU HAVE AVAILABLE! The kid doesn't look at me and CONTINUES to stare at the gentleman. At that moment, I saw the bread selection board pasted to the front cooler window and told the fella to make his decision from those choices on the board.

I tell ya', there aren't many things that piss me off more than people disrespecting our older generation. It seriously frosts my ###. I just about jumped over that counter to wring the kid's neck.

Why do we treat our oldest folks the worse? Back when I was in the commercial emergency generator biz, I'd have to visit government subsidized old folks' facilities. You wanna' wake-up call? It's embarrassing how the government spends our money. Really, it is. ####tards, they are.
