We are supposed to get some snow here tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night. So I took the liberty this afternoon to shuffle some things around and make my snow blower accessible if I should need it. I also fired up the snow blower to make sure it works. It has been close to 2 years since I last used it.

My advice? Tag sale.

Does it still count as a punch if no money is involved? Traded my 2019 Kia for a 2010 Ford in a swap with my son. Personally, I think I got the better of the deal.

Don’t tell us you’re proud of yourself for taking advantage of your son like that. You’re the grinch of Christmas in your household this year. How do you live with yourself? As for a punch, your son owes you one.

Well I don’t mean monetarily. A 19’ Kia Soul with 29k miles is worth more than a 2010 Fusion with 80k ($7k vs.$14k retail). I mean, the Fusion is a bit more luxurious which suits me. He needed a car that was within the LYFT age limits and it has better tech than the Ford. I never need back up cameras, CarPlay or any of the other app driven features.

My son owes me his livelihood because he’s in no position to buy a replacement car. I don’t know what provokes fisticuffs in your family but a gift of $7,000 doesn’t do it in mine.
