My grandma always says old people can't talk for more than 5 minutes without talking about who has what wrong with them or what meds they're on or what surgery they had or what doctors they're saying.

I guess you guys are starting to turn into old people.

And I'm starting to turn into one itchy son of a gun.... Dang poison ivy! Got it on my forearms and under my chin.

And on a good note I got a whole bunch of stuff for my truck.
I got a new 6637 filter
New fuel filter w/cap
New front brakes
Unopened package of Recon smoked cab lights

I paid $50 for all of it. Got a steal on it cause my brother had that stuff and never installed it or had it for spares so I got it all for 50 bucks this afternoon. Just the 6637 filter is almost 50 bucks and the recon lights are worth $35.

Congrats Pete on the treasures you came into possession of.

I'm sure your brother treasures the fifty bucks too.

Good afternoon Dave, Pete & Sean!

I've been busy with my beater today.

Pete,
Yea I'm getting old.
But remember, old age and treachery win out over youth and skill every time...

Wear latex gloves when you pee. NOTHING is more miserable!

After two months now, I finally received my Silent Service plates from DMV.

I was fortunate to get a four letter sequence

SS represent qualified in submarines

Ken:

The lawyer my wife works for is assisting us (employee benefit) and the law office asked the realty agent for the last 12 months of Oil & Electric bills.

The owner is still 'working' on that.

The house was built in 1900 and is uninsulated.

I said to the lawyer that I bet that the place goes through two barrels of oil a month in the winter and at $5 a gallon that $2500 a month in the depth of winter.

I only intend to offer then ~70% of their asking price (no mortgages / liens as far as I know).

The place has been on & off the market for about a year.
