Ace-Garageguy Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Nobody shot any of my cars, or stole gas out of my truck, or ran off with anything from the front porch for some time now. Maybe the human skull spiked to the front door is having the desired effect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Got a joblot of kits today and some of them were in a nike air jordans box. One of my friends saw my post on facebook and has offered me £75 quid for the empty shoebox. He's an avid nike jordans collector and already has the shoes, but this is a nicer box. The best bit is its paid more than half the cost of the kits. Never thought I'd sell an empty shoebox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned when I was young and had rough jobs working with rough characters that appearing to be a little dangerous is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Just finished mowing my lawn and put everything away when the sky opened up. Perfect timing for a change. Think I'll order a pizza to celebrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Yesterday at the Portage County Fair. Heavy weight team of 5000 lbs. pulling a 7000 lbs. sled 27 ft, full pull. This is something my son and I would go to each year before his passing, though he was not there this time I still enjoyed going. I couldn't load the video, but you could download it if you like.

Ace-Garageguy Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Got in a 3 hour hike, and took lotsa late summer photos. Enjoyed that so much, my insanely-inflated-from-this-time-last-year grocery bill didn't even make me too mad...relatively speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell C Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Well, I embarrassed myself big time and irked another guy in the process with overconfidence in my parking skills, but it turned out ok in the end. Backstory is that in AZ, some folks cluster into shade-tree parking spots despite their long distance from store entrances. Today, a guy was occupying all of the shade in his parking space and some in the space ahead of him, but I figured if I stopped within an inch of his front bumper, I could still get a decent amount of shade on my car. Problem is, I stopped more like 2 inches into his plastic license plate holder and busted one of its mounting tabs. He arrived mere moments later with his shopping cart just as I was getting out and was not pleased with this, or my initial attitude that I was certain I had stopped short of bouncing into his SUV - there's the aforementioned "overconfidence. After I saw what I did, I apologized at least twice - that's the embarrassment part. I offered to buy him a new plastic holder, but he let it go since he said his SUV was a bit of a beater anyway (AZ doesn't require front plates, and he wasn't displaying any decorative plate in it), and also said he did appreciate my apologies. Whew, glad that he didn't turn it into a Federal case, and the lesson learned for me is to err more on the side of caution when parking close to somebody in front.

Raoul Ross Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 This is what I drive for my job, ATM/Cash Recycler/Safe repair. An adequate vehicle that serves it's purpose, Nissan NV200 It needed some maintenance work that needed a few days to get right. This is what Enterprise gave me for a loaner, a '22 Audi Q5 with 1100 miles on it! I told the Nissan dealer to take their time repairing the NV200, LOL 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yea, it doesn't really "recycle" cash, it's more of a MIMO... Money In Money Out. It's used a lot in businesses for checking in/out cash drawers, like a shift change at Walmart, etc. I don't even look at it as "cash" anymore, it's just a part of the job to make the machine do what it's creators intended it to do then move onto the next job. I can see a quarter of a million dollars in a single machine and it doesn't even faze me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposed to be around 90F, and uncomfortable humidity, for the next 4 days in central Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
