    I think you're the one that doesn't get it. The agreed upon price has 0 to do with where the money comes from.

    Based on previous experience, you'll kick yourself if you don't at least check it out more seriously. You may find something about it you don't like, or you may totally fall in love with it. Then again, you may not get any kind of decent deal on it and walk away mad, or they'll darn near give it to you because of the supposed economic doom coming. If you don't try, you won't know. Sometimes not knowing is the worst part and you'll be wondering about it in four months , saying what if.

    That was the reason I originally said he needed to take his 34 in it.

    The worst mistake I've made so far was not trading Casper in when I bought Otter's truck and keeping it for myself.

    Gotten past that mostly. I only flog myself 2 or 3 times a week now instead of daily.

    The KITTY MOMMY truck insurance I think would be huge.

    Buying the truck is a formality. I filled out the app for Truck 4 and started driving home.

    Phone rings before I'm home. "You need no money down. Single digit interest. When would you like to pick it up?"

    Insurance. There's no getting around the insurance.

    UNLESS

    I move the business to someplace like Indiana. There's a reason everyone has all their stuff registered in Indiana.

    I think I could get the KITTY MOMMY 680 at a fair price. Be covered in cat hair in a month anyway.

    Wonder what spot The OM would choose for the scratching post.

    Let go of the what if.

    Don't waste your future, if any waffling on what if.

    If I visited my mountain of what ifs I would be committed to a sanitarium already. I refuse to do that. Whatever is done is done.

    Rare Storm Warning issued for the Chesapeake Bay. 50+ knots and 3 to 6 foot from Sandy Point Md to Smith Point VA Includes Choptank and Bloodsworth etc.

    High winds exist from Luray VA-Wheeling-Pittsburgh and west 60+ miles Today would not be the time to drive a big rig through there.

    CBBT updates pending. Nothing at this moment (Norfolk VA Bay Bridge Crossing) if the storm develops the way I think it will, and you plan on crossing. Wait until tomorrow. You wont get across for a while later tonight.

    Baltimore/Washington

    I am keeping a eye on Line Three in McAlester OK moving towards our border. We'll see how that goes.

    Above Chicago is apparently a pretty good winter blast. Arkansas NW is below Freezing, Fayetteville etc. There is a small indian tunnel near there, watch yourself when you pop out of there on the interstate.

    I agree with the Cat man on this one. Chase it down, bat around the offer like a stuffed toy. Be leery of the catnip in the offer.

    Just keep your B.S. detector peaked and in tune....... If anything makes your whiskers tingle, walk away.

    If in doubt ask yourself "What would "THE Accountant" do?"
