November All Topic

And now there's only an even 50 days remaining until the end of the world!

Or maybe it all just re-starts......

Welcome to November, guys! Make it count!

Wow - that was fast. November and only 12:04am.

Truck is doing some weird stuff, but I'll chime in when I have more time.

Morning Doods,

I will certainly be glad when this election is over.
The mailbox is full of crap every day. You can't watch anything on TV without a barrage of commericals, over & over.

Just happened to be up still and thought I would get my "subscription" going.

This morning's wake-up came in the form of a recorded phone call from the cable company, explaining some "changes to our service plan" with them.

Bastages.

G'morning, all!

Dreary day so far......

Since Oct All Topic is now closed, following up on Spinger Pop's comment of the car up on the rocks,
"Some folks just can't save money at Costco!

Maybe Bob will fill in some details when he gets home.

Pop "

After getting two new Kirkland/Costco batteries for 88.99 each (Motorcraft at O'Reilly's are now 139) I ran across this older women (not pictured) who not only climbed up the first rock, but proceeded to climb the second. Turbo's probably right with the cell phone comment.
She was standing outside her car with two Costco employees when I pulled up and opened my window and said " I don't mean to be disrespectful but I have to get a picture of this." They just looked at me, no smile of any kind and just moved out of the way so I could get a good shot.
I'm sure she'll probably want her car fixed by Costco because the rocks weren't large enough to see with a cell phone in her face.

I don't mind election garbage. I don't watch cable/satellite, don't listen to the radio, and don't have a land line. So I don't deal with any of that. All I have to put up with I lawn signs.

Got home from work, wifey made some awesome venison meatloaf, had a nice bottle of wine, everything is great right?
Wrong, on comes the Country Music Awards ( a show I did for many years) and I want to throw up at the state of country music these days. It all sucked. Even Brad Paisley ( who I have much respect for ),,,,,,,,,,sucked.
Is it me being a crusty old sot? Why am I longing for someone in a Nudie suit.
I know you younger guys may not get it.
I guess I'm posting this 'cause I'm looking for entertainment other than the tube 'cause it sucks. I turned it off.
