Here we are waiting with baited breath... such clickbait... LOL!I didn't end up able to do my woodworking project today.Maybe next week.
Help Support House Repair Talk:
Wasn't that the roll Boeing wasn't happy about? But it did impress the buyers...
Don't recall the name of the off brand streaming service... one that offers to show game for free... click and they want free signup... then want card info before free trial... I prefer to use PayPal with companies I don't know... if no PayPal, I usually just say forget it... I think most of rest of games I want are on ABC or Fox regular TV... ...
Signed up with FUBO for free trial before the game, watched the game, cancelled the service... they asked why I cancelled... one of choices was: Just wanted to watch one game... wish they offered like one game for a dollar... would like to see them get something... but don't want to pay $60 for a month of crap I don't have time to watch...

Oops. I think I didn't get enough sleep. LOL. It was Flyover with the woodworking project. I have a terrible memory. LOL.
Thanks, Eddie! I'll pass that on to my mother. She likes to buy clear nail polish a lot. She bit her nails until she was in her 60s and then started taking care of her nails. I learned the nail biting from her and still do it. I don't have any nail polish. Only time I ever used nail polish was to paint rocks.
I went to the post office and picked up mail. Mom wanted McDonalds (it was fillet o' fish meal day). Long line but finally got the stuff and got home.
Cleaned up trash in my bathroom, got the new hinge piece on my toilet seat (had to tape the bottom plate so it wouldn't keep falling into the toilet) and got the toilet seat installed. I like the bolt thingies I got- it has this long rubber sleeve with sort of bubbles. It acts as sort of a nut instead of putting metal nuts on, and it protects the porcelain from metal bolts.
Brother brought home pizza. Mushrooms and fire ants on it. I guess the fire ants got on it in the truck. LOL.
I ate a couple of pieces and fed the crust to the dogs. Rupert is happily curled up on me right now. He followed me into the bathroom earlier and I wiped his face and fur down with a shea butter wipe so his fur is softer now. He had some dirt near his eyes and nose so I got that cleaned up for him.
I'm about to take my meds and go to sleep.

Tomas the cat has some kind of sinus or nasal infection (right side only). he's been snorting and snoring for a couple of weeks. I finally decided to give him some Fish Mox (amoxicillin.) I opened a 500 mg capsule and divided it into quarters which is close to the proper doge for a 16 lb cat. I mixed it with a bit of Laxatone hairball remedy and put it on mouth, teeth wherever I could get it to lodge. This is the second day and he is showing remarkable improvement. The Fish Mox has an expiry date of 2015 but had never been opened.
Good Morning Ms's and Mr's...
Sorry, missed getting on yesterday... But since I was on last, which I believe was Thursday... Bought another truck, and took the wife to the dentist to have some teeth pulled, and yesterday ran around to get the insurance set up and pay for the truck...
Thursday around noon, I was sitting, watching TV..when my wife came to me and said she found a good truck... my reply to her, was I didn't know we were looking for another truck... We have a 2006 Ford F150 Lariat with over 350 km on it, which is around 217 miles... and still runs like the day I bought it, and runs like a new truck...
The one she pointed out to me is a 2008 Ford F150 Lariat with 140Km which is about 86 miles. It's like a new truck. My 2006 is a 4-door cab, this one is a super cab, which has the small doors on the back... It has a sunroof, electric windows, air, and leather. Like my other one..4x4 like the other truck. They are pretty much identical trucks, just different size cabs. My 2006 has a 5'4" box pn the back with a hard tunnel box cover. This one has a 6' box, with a soft tunnel cover.
So,, they want $12,000 for it. So I call my brother because he lives close to where the truck is for sale. I call him and ask him to look under it, check out the engine, and make sure the air and heat work... check the engine... I ask him to take it for a test drive, and get back to me, while I sit in the dentist's parking lot waiting for my wife while she gets some teeth pulled out... He calls me about an hour and a half later and tells me the truck is solid, in mint condition... So I thank him. I call the Lady who is selling the truck, I told her I will buy it, and that I will email her $2000 and would be up tomorrow to pay her (Friday)...
Now here comes the fun stuff... We have one of those banks that have no building, they are up somewhere in the sky. So I called them... telling them I need to take $12,000 out of my account. So they tell me, ok, they can get a certified cheque ready, and have it couriered to my home for Monday... I said that is no good because the truck will be gone by the time I get the cheque... So... Here comes the fun part... I have a $3000 a day withdrawal on my bank card at an ATM... So he tells me to go to the bank machine for the bank I use, and take the money out of it, they will lift my limit for a one-time only to $12,000... So I say to him, ok so if the ATM runs out of money then what... He keeps telling me not to worry about this, and asked what time I would be back in my home town... and I reply in a couple of hours so he tells me I'll be able to do this till 8:00 that night...
So my wife has a mouth full of gauze, I can hardly understand a word she is saying to me...I go into the bank, put my card in the ATM and ask for 12,000 bucks... The machine says a lower amount, so I try $10,000, and then $5000, and then $2000... So out comes 40 Fifties... So I do it again... and I whip back out to the truck... and hand my wife the $4000 in fifties... So I go back to the machine... and I take the rest out, and now we look like we deal drugs, cuz my wife has the 240 Fifties in a bag, the pile of 50's is about 3 inches tall... So we go home... I get her cleaned up, and in her jammies so she can relax. I am in the kitchen counting the 50's in piles of 20 fifties for $1000 in each pile which I paper clip each of the 12 piles... I stick it into a plastic bag. and my wife says bury it into the freezer... I call the Lady back, and told her, that I would not send her the $2000 down, and she thought I changed my mind. I said no... But I am bringing you 240 fifties... So now make the story little shorter, she asks me on my way up if I could stop at the garage and pick up the safety... I did... I got to her place, took the truck for a run, came back, tried my luck and said would you take $11,000 for the truck... She says no, she's firm on the 12... I said ok... So I hand her the bag of money... told her, I counted it 3 times, my wife counted it three times... and told her I was going to take my truck to go and get insurance on it, and the plates...
So, my other truck is sitting at my brother's today, it will drive it back to my place next week, and get his wife to follow him so he has a drive home. and the new truck is in the driveway...
I now understand why some people drive a backhoe into an ATM and take the whole machine, I honestly did not know that those machines have that kind of money in them...
So, that is why I did not check in yesterday...
I hope YOU all have a wonderful day today... God Bless YOU all...
Cheers~
Mike

Cool, Redneck... I have a 2003 F150 that I only use to take trash to the dump, but it's solid other than there is no recirculating air. As far as your cash story, it's a good thing you aren't in the US. If so, the commies in the FBI would have seen that, raided your house and put you in Prison for 6 months while not charging you with anything so you wouldn't get a lawyer. Surprised it doesn't happen up there with your commie in charge.

Redneck, I hope the new truck runs well. The bank can be a total pain on stuff like that. I've heard stories of the bank demanding to know what people were planning to use their money on and refusing to release it unless they told them why. When I paid for my brother's truck (I loaned him the $ at 0% interest) I had to take it out in increments over several days. Told the dealer we were bringing cash. He was shocked when we had actual cash in hand. I said I didn't want to deal with any bs with the bank and cashier's checks and the like. We'd had issues with that in the past. It took him a couple of years but he paid me back in full and bought me some video games and a DVD set. I hope your wife is healing up well from the tooth-pulling.
Eddie, I think the mileage was abridged and he meant they had that amount in thousands? I could be mistaken.
My friend was thinking of getting a Ford but the last Ford he bought had an engine blow right after he had it registered and insured-- and the insurance didn't cover that. And when I say "right after" I mean literally within 10 minutes of him getting it registered & insured. His great uncle Cleo loved vehicles and had a whole collection of them but he was a Chevy person and hated Fords. Salesman tried to push a Ford on him and he said "Uncle Cleo would haunt me!" (fortunately, the salesman knew who Cleo was).
I couldn't get to sleep when I wanted so I ended up going into the bathroom and moving stuff around. Got my vanity cleared off but my little laundry cart is now full of stuff. LOL. I threw out some things, put some stuff in the kitchen, admittedly stuffed some stuff on the windowsill (after vacuuming it) & lightly cleaned the counter and sink. Need something heavy duty to get stains out of that sink. Apparently some coins fell into it and there was a ruined wet shirt sitting on the coins which had corroded and left stains in the sink. I don't remember why that shirt was even in there. There was also a ruined comic book. I believe it had gotten something spilled on its protective cover and I took it in to rinse it off but never took it back out and the bag had ripped and the comic had gotten all wet. It was a Batman one and I couldn't make out which issue.
Since I didn't sleep well last night I'm still wanting a nap.

Flyover
Trying not to screw things up worse
More likely they (not the FBI but the cops) would have seized the cash, claimed it was drug money, but never charged him with selling drugs. Probably seize his vehicles, house, and anything else they could grab too, with the same justification. Thanks Joe Biden!
Anything I need to know in advance about using a trickle charger? I plan to hook it up tonight when I get home, in hopes maybe I can at least mow the front yard tomorrow...... however, I still have to recheck the tire inflation.... I meant to last night but forgot.
I found 2 Archie comic books in my moms stuff. One for 74 and one from 77.
@RedneckGrump I (my middle son) have a 2002 For f150. Its the red one in the pic of the front yard. It was my exhusbands, the thing just sits there, I think it has 200k miles on it. I wish my son would either get rid of it, or fix it. It doesn't get driven because it doesn't keep a charge for long (and he wasn't working, because he was caring for my mom while I worked), I might try to trickle charge it also, see what happens.
I hope the dumpster comes this week... my back yard looks bad enough with the tall grass and now there are bags piled, and some wooden furniture pieces.
One day, it'll all come together.

Well I can see somebody had some frosted sarcasm flakes for Breakfast! As much as I hate the Pedophile Hitler wannabe, I don't blame him for local asset forfeiture. If your scenario happened, said department would be disbanded after the City / County paid for the lawsuit.

Keep it away from Gas / Fumes / anything that can ignite? I'm not understanding exactly what you want to know.
My 06 has 358,000Km and the one I just bought the 08 has 140,000 km...
Think you should put a sign on that stuff and say help yourself... it's free... Just because it's not for you, people love free stuff, and your pile may just dribble away...
For your trickle charge, attach the cables to their proper post on your battery... Plug the charger in, and make sure it's on a 2amp charge... It will take a bit of time but will give it a slow charge... When you go back to it... unplug it, and then disconnect the cords off the battery... Hope that helps @shan2themax
So, just wanna say I love my Ford F150s... I have inlaws who own two Chrysler Dealers... But I do NOT like the Rams... I am the only one in the entire family who is not driving a Chrysler/Dodge vehicle... I just love the Ford F150s...
Well, II didn't do a hell of a lot today, Gave the new truck a good going over with ceramic wax... and took Carl for his normal walk... and now am thinking it might be time for some good drugs.. and head to bed...
Will talk to YOU kids tomorrow... Have a good night All... and God Bless YOU all...
Cheers~

@RedneckGrump I have been tossing most things, there has been mice through it. The "stuff" has been a point of contention for years, so I don't have a problem tossing it. I'm not patient when it comes to people picking things up that I give away.
Thanks for answering the trickle charge question, that was what I needed. @Spicoli43 I have never used one so I wasn't sure about settings and such. I don't remember seeing any instructions in the box, but I will give it a gander again.
Work day is almost over, last break of the day. Excited for a day off tomorrow!!

Yeah, Shan... I can't stand people picking up stuff either. I'm 15 minutes early to everything, and everybody that picks stuff up is late or calls to see if the house is hard to find, or changes their mind or needs to reschedule etc...
As for the charger, it should have 2 Amp like Redneck says, and it might have 10 Amp and START also... That's how mine is, but the START is worthless. I would invest in a Stanley Fatmax to carry in your Trunk, as mine hasn't failed yet, needed it a few times. It instantly started my car that was dead, but I don't think it's for batteries that have sat for a long time. That's a "lets find out" situation.
If it says "Robot or Human", that's the Stanley Walmart link... Morons!

@Spicoli43 my other charger is a knockoff of that. It has sat for about 2.5 years without a charge and I tried charging it with an extension cord, but it doesn't do a thing..... MY BAD.
Workday is up in 5 minutes.. woot woot
Workday is up in 5 minutes.. woot woot
Actually, yesterday I was watching videos from Lehto's Law and he was discussing just that scenario!
Cash transactions of $10K or more get reported to the Feds.
People didn't do anything wrong but authorities happened to noticed they had a lot of cash and grabbed it. They sued to get it back, but the local people said they turned the cash over to the Feds and didn't have it. Even though judge ordered them to give it back. So they had to start over and sue the Feds. Feds claim they can't be sued. Feds drag everything out forever. Cost to sue is more than the thousands of dollars in cash. Plus there's all sorts of weirdness involved: Feds have legal precedent to show they can not only sue people but also sue inanimate objects such as cash. Also, the locals turned the original cash into a check that went to the Feds, so nobody knows where the actual missing cash actually is that the people want back... and they can't sue for the check because they never had it... etc... etc... etc...
