minermark Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Morning Gang Survived another night in Twister Alley Venturing into St Louis this morning, must hit the goodwill stores, this is where we score kiddies sleeping bags, and quilts, they make for great shipping blankets and way cheaper than any others. We get back home and donate them right back to goodwill, at a small tax write off of course 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Been repairing drywall damage from upstairs water closet leak. Man what a mess slinging and sanding mud. Cleaned up and cleaned the work area too. Will paint this morning and see what my finishing looks like. Going to be 98 degrees here today Helping LF pick out a new car. Think she has narrowed it down to a Volvo XC60. Now to haggle a bit. Cheers Ladies and Gents 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's all that bad... http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/volvo/xc60.htm http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2013/03/consumer-reports-names-the-best-and-worst-cars-by-brand/index.htm Edited June 16, 2015 by oldtimer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Going for 5000 posts in anticipation of great rewards? Going for 5k posts would make me "Chatty" ? The wife and I prefer to be on the road meeting and enjoying other forum members and doing a service when and where we can. Far too many Keyboard commandos sit and Bi-otch about what they want and wish they could get. and yet do nothing but sit. Currently sitting at a Redneck Pc that has a mind of it's own 2K+ miles from home, and quite happy about it. Fresh (Last) pot of the Dickinsons blend is tasting mighty fine, we did NOT bring enough of the Wonder Bean, anticipate withdraws later today Edited June 16, 2015 by minermark 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Tell duder Tarheel says hey Quite a trip there Mark. Have fun! LF bought the XC60 late yesterday after driving the VW Toureg, Mercedes GLA, BMW X3, Acura RDX, Subaru Outback, Nissan Murano. Just more quality and a great ride. 302 hp, HK sound system. On board computer is pretty smart. Learning every thing it does may take a while. Hitting 100 today and two shark bites near by. Two kids lost an arm each. Ceiling repair turned out ok....not perfect but I'm anal anyway. Cheers Ladies and Gents 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
