I have trouble believing you have all the rare light sabers you want already. OOO DVD copy of Song of the South!! Don't forget they own the Simpsons now, maybe some choice play sets or a pinball machine?
Lol I could get the new Lego dark side aluminum falcon.....

Sucralose: It's in almost anything "healthy". 99% of sugar free drinks, 99% of protein shakes. Bleh.
I though the fairlife CorePower was good because I saw stevia listed in the ingredients, but I looked closer and it has stevia and sucralose. 😡
Found a coach that is sort of what we're looking for about an hour and a half north of here. The ad has been up for 19 weeks, so that's a sign. Despite having dropped the price about a month ago, he's still a little high. But maybe he's just ready to have it gone and we can get a little bit of a bargain. Plus, what we're looking for is weird so it doesn't show up very often. I sent a message last night verifying that it was still for sale even though the ad was so old and went on to ask a bunch of questions. Date codes on the tires, any delam, is the title clear, clean, in your name, and in your possession, hours on the gen, any water intrusion ever, are the windshields cracked at all, does the dash AC work, and are there any issues with any of the systems or appliances. His response was nothing but a wordless 4 minute walk-around/walk-through video. Didn't show the tire codes, didn't show any close-ups of the glass, didn't demonstrate any appliance functions other than having the generator running, nothing.
Gee, sir, I'm sorry that I inconvenienced you by asking relevant questions about the thing for which YOU put out an advertisement.

The third party inspector has been pestering me to set up an appointment for her to inspect the truck. I told her the truck is at the body shop and gave her the address.
I wonder if it's going to be another 3 months while I fight the insurance company because they low balled the berk out of the repair estimate.
Dealing with insurance berkeleying sucks 
I know, the news really isn't in the "accurate and informative" age anymore, but some basic spell checking of pop star names and road names could do a bit for credibility. Luke Bryan, Fitz Henry road, these aren't that difficult.
Although I'm curious if the spelling mistakes will continue when Trump comes to town (why? 450 people live here. There's 3 trucker friendly gas stations, a strip club, 4 stop signs and 2 bars. The rest is farm and warehouses) earlier that week.
In fact that's a rant in and of itself, we live here in the sticks to AVOID the city problems like politicians coming through. Stay out!! There's no room for your motorcades or your followers that will show up and inevitably break stuff and get their vehicles stuck in places they shouldn't be driving.
At least Skyline will be closed so nobody will fall in the river from there, but I bet they're still going to clog up the town that already doesn't have enough parking for the residents.

Sounds like the guy isn't really interested in selling it... or everything you asked about is problematic.
I don't know why people can't answer basic questions about things they are selling... of course the opposite is true as well. I don't know how many times I've been asked a question by a buyer that was clearly covered in the ad I posted.
I would not want to go through RV shopping again, although I'll be a lot better prepared if I ever do, having owned a big coach. I know a lot more now than I did when we bought ours.
Our part is done. You have a request to exit from our system. You have the lock bypass. You have the door activation. It's all labeled for your edification. You just need to wire your part.
Yes, I have a guy who knows how to wire your system. I have 5 of them with close to 50 years of combined experience in getting the job done. Maybe you should try training yours. Or maybe if you weren't such dicks to work for, your experienced people would stick around. So, while my people will explain to your people what they need to do, I'm not paying my guys to wire your system or stand around while your guys read the instructions with confused looks on their faces.

I posted a detailed ad about a very crusty ATV that hadn't run in years, didn't know if it could run, and I'd opened the engine and never closed it. Lady asks:
"does it run?"
Go away.

A grain truck just went by using the jake brake for no reason with no muffler. You stupid piece of E36 M3. I just had a chat with a Hardeman Co. deputy who it just so happens has a friend who is a TN State Trooper. They are going to show us some love around here. Jake brakes = legal. No muffler = ticket. I hope they get you and write your stupid ass for everything they can think of. Berkeley that E36 M3 pisses me off. Rant over.
Fun coworker that has an awesome, sarcastic edge just became my boss.
need to book a hotel room in munich for work a couple weeks from now, unfortunately all of them are either nonrefundable or you have to cancel 14 days in advance due to oktoberfest, and the work trip is entirely up in the air right now, about 50/50. I could probably get it reimbursed even if it's cancelled, but that would be its own struggle
English language needs a term for your spouse's brother/sister in law. I've tried "brother in law in law" out and only received confused reactions, and "wife's brother in law" is too much of a mouthful and still raises some confusion

We've got at least one guy hauling livestock that really likes to do that going by our place around 4:30 AM

I have a friend who, one night in his early teans, tied an old upright Hoover to a black ski rope. Put the Hoover by a mail box and then hid across HWY 7 in some bushes. The first car that came by just creamed it. Turns out it was a state trooper 
. He still cracks me up with the story. Anyhoo, back to the truck. Try something like that. Maybe the jackass will flinch enough to roll it

Our dog is very anxiety ridden and scared of a great amount of things, boxes, generator, any sound whatsoever etc. He is a massive dog, 31 inches at the shoulder and over 100lbs, he looks like he has Irish Wolfhound in him, but DNA tests say he has almost 50/50 Poodle and Maremma so he's a big hairy Yeti of a dog.
So when we came in after our walk he hit our fireplace screen and knocked it over, the ensuing freak out from that had him knock down 2 kitchen chairs, leap over his Mastiff mix brother ( code name: War Potato), go thru a 24 pack of DrPepper, leap over the whole couch and land on his face.
I have no idea why he's scared so much, he plays very rough with The War Potato, and the Potato Built For War is about 170lbs, so you'd think it would show him that he's not exactly weak. Last week I was outside and he heard a sound near me outside the fence, so he stood on it to his near 6 ft tall self , stared down whatever he saw ( it was dark) and growled viscously so he's protective at times too.
But berkeley me, fireplace screens are apparently the end of days

Now add several hundred cubic inches and remove the muffler and you too can do it. All the cool kids are.
In reply to Datsun240ZGuy :
Erm...not quite. Exhaust brakes are typically butterfly valves that choke off the exhaust system. Jakes open the exhaust valve when a cylinder is on the power stroke so that the energy stored on the compression stroke gets wasted out the exhaust system rather than returned to the crank.
I love the sound of a Jake brake, but there's a time and a place. The world is, very unfortunately, full of people who equate consideration with weakness. It's beyond tedious.
I have a cyst on my thyroid in my neck. It's hasn't bothered me for 25 years but my doctor wanted me to have an endocrinologist take a look at it. The endocrinologist did a needle biopsy on it yesterday. Nothing like having someone stab a needle into your neck, poke it around a few times and then repeat the process 4 more times. She said it would probably be sore and may swell. berkeley me running. Maybe it was because of the blood thinners I'm on but the cyst swelled up about 5x it's original size. I iced it all day but that didn't seem to help too much. It felt like someone had punched me in the throat. It hurt to swallow and my entire neck and head hurt all damn day. The only saving grace is that I didn't sleep well on Monday night so I was exhausted last night and slept like a rock. Thankfully today it's about 1/2 the size it grew to and doesn't hurt unless I press on it.
I'm cash-poor right now, so you know what that means, don't you? Automotive bargains are popping up all over the place! Right now I've got access to three great cars for under market value: A Volvo 544, a low-windshield Datsun 1600 convertible, and a one-of-a-kind vintage sports-racer. The gods, they tease!
I'm beyond proud of Little Monohue. He's barely five and he's been reading for half of his life. He's clever, funny, creative, thoughtful, and empathetic. Handsome, even.
But.
But would you please. Just. Stop. Talking.
Put down the Calvin and Hobbes anthology and just finish the got-dang chicken nuggets. Before I die of old age, ideally.
