Who knows how he'll do, same as the rest of us I bet, "give me coffee." Good luck to him! Hope he finds something worthwhile out there.
Oh no, the truck hauls lots of groceries especially when Chase is here. lol.

I hope he can find a job that works with my schedule since I am his chauffeur for the next 2 months. At this point though, any job is a good job.

I hope so too, for your sake. He'll find something, hopefully with a decent enough schedule.

They're not that deep, just plenty of them I guess. That part probably does look worse since the car was still wet from just having been washed.

I'd probably let it go for $3500 to one of you all. It really is a great car, but I've got a 94 Subaru Wagon and Logan likes to lay down.

Off to get good tires put on her now. I bought 4 studded snow tires with 95% tread for $100 and they are going on. Anyone interested in a 45mpg diesel Passat that's cosmetically ugly but mechanically sound, let me know.

some laquer thinner or brake cleaner might remove most of the white paint and it wont look so bad...

Just got this..


Chinese Wedding Night



A young Chinese couple gets married. She's a virgin.

Truth be told, he is a virgin too, but she doesn't know that.

On their wedding night, she cowers naked under the sheets as her

husband undresses in the darkness.

He climbs into bed next to her and tries to be reassuring.

'My darring', he whispers, 'I know dis you firss time and you berry flighten. I

promise you, I give you anyting you want, I do anyting - juss anyting

you want. You juss ask. Whatchu want?' he says, trying to sound

experienced and worldly, which he hopes will impress her.

A thoughtful silence follows and he waits patiently (and eagerly) for her request.

She eventually shyly whispers back, 'I want to try someting I have

hear about from odda girls... Numbaa 69.'

More thoughtful silence, this time from him. Eventually, in a puzzled

tone he asks her....

'You want...... Garlic Chicken wif snow peas?

I like going to live games better than TV too. The atmosphere and the crowds are always fun.

Lazybones looks like it might be pretty good. If I am ever up that I will have to check that out.

It cost me $30 and I've only used it a dozen times since last June, but it gets the job done!

Brendan, be careful using the laquer thinner so you do not take off the original paint also. It can be done but just be careful. Possibly just using rubbing compound and lots of elbow grease will work. Or a combination of the two-get it close to all off with the laquer thinner, wait a bit to make sure the paint isn't softened up too much, then finish up with the polish.
