    Sarcasm at a whole new level......And a worthy entity benefitted!!!! https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-bills-fans-raise-40-k-for-visual-impairment-charity-in-honor-of-referees-in-buccaneers-game-214558505.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall Well done Buffalo!

    My former office location is just a couple miles from the UPS Depot. They would make deliveries by 10:30a, 3p and 5p (end of the day). Wouldn't it be cheaper to put them all on the same truck? I can ship a document via UPS ground and it makes it to its destination 250 miles away the next day. If I upgrade to two day shipping, it's more expensive AND it really will take two days for the same journey!

    I'm in for the Stealth and the Lincoln...... I had a Stealth albeit a base model as single, male and under 30 was a bad combo for the insurance rates! (even with a clean driving record) Lincoln.....big ole Detroit steel!

    After the city did a survey a couple years ago, the city leaders decided to not pursue a curbside recycling program. There are several dumpsters in an inconvenient location but they are regularly filled so the residents are doing the right thing. In that survey, I told them I had no interest as I recycle the pops cans from our house as well as the mother in law's Diet Dr Pepper addiction and all that $$ goes to a specific animal rescue. Now that inflation is up, the city decided to slip one past the goalie and start the curbside program at a monthly cost of $4/month....and no way to opt out. I will continue to recycle the pop cans for the animals so I'll toss a pizza box in the bin every week just to make it inconvenient for the driver to stop every week.

    It is a Signature. There were a couple other cracks in the back bumper so several areas had to be glued. The mirrors are missing but it was less than $25 shipped versus $100

    Not the best of pics as it's too cold to take outside..... 1/18 Chrysler Airflow. The front bumper came off in shipping.....easily fixed

    The Durango is starting to have more and more issues. The wife needed a vehicle that could pull the camper trailer but the mall rated SUV's nowadays are rated for close to what the trailer weighs empty. Surfing the interweb, she found a 2019 Dodge Ram 4x4 Big Horn w low mileage.....and the hemi!

    Hit one of the Cincinnati area stores on Friday. Other than the toy area looking like post Black Friday chaos, no kits

    Bought the Funko AC/DC five character item from WalMart that was part of the black Friday sale. There's nothing I need bad enough to forego sleep so I was shocked it was still available later a couple days later. Package arrived and for once wants crushed....good sign. Open the box and the case isn't cracked/damaged....two for two. FedEx didn't disappoint as three of the figures were off their mounts and two of those were beheaded. Took it to the store for a refund.

    They are still in business but far fewer stores than just a few years ago. They morphed it to a franchise system (aka buying yourself a job). For a laugh I went out to their website......check their spin on the benefits of being your own boss: Become a Franchise Partner with a $10,000 investment Earn 50% of restaurant profits Unlimited earning potential It is one of the cheaper franchise fees if you have the interest in owning own. What they DON'T share: Headaches of staffing (I cant imagine what a pain this is nowadays) You use the franchisor vendors of which they get a cut of the sale You use the franchisor software, again they get a fee for the Sales promotions come from your profit, not the fee paid the franchisor (ask a Subway owner about the $5 footlong promotion) Franchisee suffered in bad promotions (Jared from Subway, no Tuna in the Tuna sub) I managed a site in a previous life where there was a Subway. He owner about seven of them and made a good living but I'm too old to deal with all the BS he had to do.

    1/18 Buick GS 400 Sorry for the bad pic......just got done resecuring it to the base. Likely to get unboxed when the clear case goes up

    Had to get the Covid before the knee scope later this week. The wife (who is a nurse) had to get one at a drive thru testing and I could not watch that elephant Q-tip disappear up her nose like a magic trick. She told me they don't use them anymore so I was less than thrilled when the lady pulled that thing out of a drawer. I hate when a bug flies up the nose so I knew this would be worse so I told her I'm putting my head against the wall before she rammed that Northward as I'm sure I will have a reflex. What is up the right nostril that isn't already up the left nostril?? She told me we were done, but I think the proper answer was "Tada!" when she pulled it out.

    Part of my finds..... Don't worry....there is a plan for the Prius (besides a left hand drive conversion) GT-R came with an extra set of wheels The AeroMax was a steal for $50
