Finally getting internet installed this morning. Largely living without that for 10 days has been hard. Though not having watched TV for that long, can’t really say it has been a big loss!

Should have checked the witnesses protection program they have quite a bit of power, so I’ve heard.

They suspect this is what happened to hers as well.

Adding to that, when I bought the engagement ring way back when platinum was in "in" thing. If it would have been gold, then the new setting would have cost me a lot more money now.

I know whiskey has been brought up several times in the past. My sister sent a bottle of this to our real estate agent who helped us sell my moms house. Any feedback? I’m a rookie when it comes to this stuff.

Not my favorite either, but that’s not a cheap bottle

Either way, would you buy it if it was discounted 20%?
Yes, my sister said some Canadian friends introduced her to it.

No, unless a very good inspection said ok. Then I would be hesitant and may require a deeper discount.

Not sold in my part of Canada, though that isn’t a surprise. Our selection is terrible.

I suppose no matter how many accidents a PPI would have to clear it before I bought it at any price.

A PPI Inspection would be a must. Also, the repair must be damn near perfect. Then it would come down to how long has the person had the car after the accident. Was the accident a few years ago? Ok. Did they have an accident and then trade it in a month later? No.

Parked in front of the Clubhouse here, a Boxster in a Bronze/Beige color; hard to describe the actual color. Maybe a wrap? But the Boxster looked fab!
Parked in a strip mall lot, an Orange Panamera Sport Turismo. Not a color I would choose, but then I'm an introvert.
I think I prefer the ST style (Shooting Brake!) over the standard hatchback.

Hey old farmer, how long is your bed on the new pickup? My BIL wants to sell the Lear cap he had on his tundra. $300. But it is a 6.5’ unit. Nice shape dark blue.

Try Marketplace or Craigslist. I put an old Toyota cap out on the street and sold it as I was typing the CL ad. Those things are expensive and lots of people looking for bargains.

Yeah, but it only has 2 doors.

Have you been talking to my wife?

I told this story before and I’m sure you remember it but I’ll repeat it and then I have an update to the first story.
First story (this must be about 6 years ago now):
I’m returning to my car from just shopping at Home Depot. There is a pickup with an 8 foot bed across the aisle so I walked over and said to the guy he was driving a real oddball and he asked why. I said, “your truck only has 2 doors but look at all the other pickups in this lot, they all have 4 doors”. He replied, “I can use 2 more feet in the bed than I can with 2 more doors”. I couldn’t argue about that.
Fast forward to my second story, about 2 months ago:
Again I see a guy in the trades, this time at Lowe’s, with a pickup with an 8 foot bed. To have some fun with him I said the same thing to him that I said to the guy at Home Depot. His reply was, “if I wanted a toy, I would have gone to a toy store. I wanted a real pickup so I went to a car dealership. I can’t tell you how much work I’ve done with this truck”. Again, not much I could have argued about there.
I’m now convinced guys in the trades would almost rather part with a family member than give up their 8 foot bed pickups.
BTW, do you own a set of golf clubs.

I did once but much of my time was already spent walking around large areas of grass while working the farm so it seemed redundant. I got rid of my motley collection of clubs years ago. I still have a 7 iron that my father used to do chipping practice when he would visit.

I tried some Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover, took some away, but doesn't seem to budge others.
Advice? Other than trade in the car.

Years ago I had success with paint thinner and a rough rag if using a T-shirt doesn’t work. Any minor scratches caused by the rough rag can be polished out easily with polishing compound. Note that I said “paint thinner”, NOT a paint remover like lacquer thinner or Acetone which will almost instantly destroy a cars paint. However, whatever chemical you use should be first tested by trying it on the underside of the trunk lid.

Have you tried a clay bar? Do you have an oribital? Try some polishing compound. If that doesn’t work, rubbing compound.

Another wedding coming next June. Daughters BF proposed while we are on vacation at the shore and she accepted. Not a normal beach occupancy, but exciting!

That’s what happens when you invite outsiders.
Not sure whether congrats or condolences are in order. So, when does the house go on the market?

Well, since I forgot to get a card, I hope she sees my post. But I’ll send her out for dinner tonight since I’m not sure I’ll have healed by then.

So, let's go to the tote board of shame:
Suspicious character.
Photos taken of the suspicious character on-scene.
Possessed a rangefinder and was let in.
Was in sites of snipers for 20 minutes before shooting.
No one was monitoring the roof from which he took the shots.
Dan Bongino reports that local police were supposed to keep watch of that building. All of it.
Mom and Dad called to report son's suspicious activities.
And after all this, they let Trump go out on stage.
DHS Inspector General now investigating, which could take months or years.
It looks like a lot of people need to lose their jobs. This is a cluster from beginning to end.
