i bought a shirt. I’ve worn it twice. It’s already tight around the mid-section. I’m either getting fatter by the minute or someone has replaced all the size labels on my clothes. 

Don’t laugh ... I bought a Bomber jacket on line.  I like my coats loose, so i ordered a 2XL.  I get the coat and put it on and it’s skin tight and I can barely zip it up.  I look at the label and it’s a regular old Large.  I contact the vendor and tell them that they sent the wrong size. They email me back and say that they’ve investigated the matter and the coat is in fact a 2XL with a “L” label.  

I call BS and they’re refunding my money + the $19.99 mail cost for return shipping. They want me to order another jacket; but i went to a military surplus store and bought a flight jacket. 

Moral of the story ... I’m not getting fatter, my clothes are suddenly just mislabeled.  What a relief, i thought i was going to have to change my diet and cut back on the cold beer.

That's awful @BigStewMan my brother tells me he goes to the surplus store first then Amazon! Crooks everywhere now-a-days!

It’s really a crap shoot buying clothes on line.  Nothing against Chinese goods, but i find their sizes are MUCH smaller than we have here in the US of A. I normally wear an extra large shirt and i’ve boughten some, not realizing that they’re made in China, and they’re skin tight. So, now i order things a few sizes bigger than normal if it’s coming from somewhere outside of the US.

I am pretty sure there is a cloths label changing bandit going around..  I really think he made an unwelcome visit to my closet recently...  I'm not happy at all....  😕

I love my flight jacket. Don't care if it tatters I'll never let it go willingly. When I pull the hood out you can tell what it used to look like!                                                                           * taters😀 stupid Google puts (& takes out) letters in that aren't near where my finger was!

Mornin' All

I don't know whether it's a good or bad day for the folks in GreenValley. But, look out. I will be making an appearance.

Need to dig my civies out.   Have a few stops. WhiteElephant, Safeway and wally.

   Gonna treat myself to a couple sausage/egg mcmuffins while I'm there. That will last my junk food need till next year

 

Weather is is gonna be nice for a few days. 70 ain't bad. Too bad that lasts for about 5 minutes. You can feel the sun going down.

  It's ok I can be the guinea pig for the WTF! 

Been going in the opposite direction, trying decaf lately. Don't notice any difference besides the first couple when I wake up so probably skip the caffeine. 

 

Never understood why we could go out of town and I only drink a couple cups the whole week and never had  had a problem with the lack of caffeine after so much of it when home ?

i never noticed anything physical from caffeine and i used to drink a ton of diet coke all day at work. when my heart strarted tripping out a few years ago, cardiologist said that caffeine can cause the PVCs, so i quit caffeine. I don’t drink a ton of coffee, two large mugs per day (six cups according to the markings on the coffee pot) but i drink decaf and didn’t notice ANY difference in the taste.

Oh happy days....finally got the demons out of my TT arm.  Thought I might have bad bearings even though the arm was new.  Turns out the arm is super finicky but with the new digital tracking force gauge fresh from Amazon I set the Ortofon cartridge at 1.9 and am good to go.  Dylan's Blood On The Tracks sounds marvelous!
