Lol

Where’s my red stapler?

I also got my taste and smell back tonight, it was abrupt, I am happy about that, it was really weird eating things without taste.

 

[Two Door]

The real indicator - Have you gotten back to looking at Marketplace?

He bought 3 knuckle booms, 9 trailers, and 4 burbs. No Listas were available.

Can't someone turn on the parental controls?

There was one thing I would have jumped at, but no way I would have made it in time, it was a beautiful dodge power wagon for $800. It had been listed for minutes when I first saw it, it was pending later today.

 

[mybigwarwagon]

Wow. A friend just paid 5k for one in about that shape.

My dad tells the story of his best friend in high school (1950s) buying one of those new, with some kind of factory upgraded big engine. His friend was a rich kid whose father owned a beer distributing company.

BUT, the family was down to earth and both my dad and his friend always had a job working/loading at the warehouse or delivering beer to the bars/stores. Yes, my dad drove the beer truck in high school. It was different times back then.

 

[Strouty]

Wow. A friend just paid 5k for one in about that shape.

If it had been $8k I would have still thought it was a decent deal, at $800 it made me almost cry to not be capable of acting on it.

Strouty glad you are feeling better. Stay vigilant and take care of yourself. Even when you start feeling human again you may have to ease back into your routine.

[Strouty]

There is no question about that Ron, I can’t go downstairs and then back upstairs without feeling winded. I also feel weaker overall, I have been pretty much doing nothing for two weeks. I don’t feel foggy or anything mentally, nothing I have noticed anyways.

 

[harley jim]

I'm glad your feeling better,
I did a deal for a power wagon many years ago, when I showed up to get it the man said it was never for sale and he didnt know what I was talking about.
One of us was loosing it!

 

[Richard Cranium]

glad you are feeling better.

 

[legenddc]

Me too. Did you lose a bunch of weight? Between being sick and not able to taste/smell I know I would have eaten a lot less.

 

[Strouty]

I don’t know about that, would have to weigh myself, I wouldn’t be surprised if I lost some.

 

[86turbodsl]

I'm glad you're feeling better Strouty.

 

[Johanfpa]

Good to hear you are feeling better Strouty.

 

[Strouty]

I am up and getting ready to take a shower, no coughing or hacking since before bed last night. I think the corner is turned. I will be venturing out today, probably have to take it easy, but something is better than nothing.

 

[xtremek]

Glad you're on the mend. Please do take it easy. Read too many stories about the boomerang effect of this disease.

 

[rvieceli]

Glad you are feeling better. Don't get bummed out when you can't go 100%. It takes a while to recover. Listen to your body and take it easy.

Ron

 

[Strouty]

I have no visions of 100%, just glad to be out of the house.

Dad has been sawing lumber.

 

[Kevkx125]

Strouty glad you are feeling better, as other's have said take your time getting back into the swing of things.

 

[Strouty]

I don't have anything major planned for the next couple days, this is more about assessment and getting the bare minimums done so things don't stop functioning.

 

[rmack898]

I know you've been down a while and are itching to get up and about again but take it slow. I went from being sick to up and active too fast and it shut me down for a few more days. Taking it easy is hard but you have to do it.


I had a '59 power wagon just like that that I sold to buy an engagement ring when I married my first wife, it was one of the worst decisions I ever made.

 

[Strouty]

I have a couple more errands to do (I am at the SG now), then I am headed home for the day. So far I wouldn't consider what I have done overdoing it, but it seems like you never really find out until afterwards anyways....

 

[Strouty]

Getting lunch now and then headed home, so far so good.

 

[mybigwarwagon]

Glad you are getting out of the house.

 

[harley jim]

Glad to see you out and getting better

 

[Strouty]

Still doing well, a bit stressful looking at all the things that need to be done before snow sets in, especially since I am not going to be 100% for a bit, and Thanksgiving is next week.

 

[mybigwarwagon]

Do what you can and the rest will keep.

 

[Strouty]

It will keep, in a block of ice, buried under feet of snow…..

 

[xtremek]

Sometimes you get no choice.

 

[Chrisb62]

The choice has been made for you.......at least you are still around for us to give you $h^t.

 

[1Garageman]

So glad you are feeling better and moving around ok. I hope you still take it easy for a while!

 

[jollygreengiant]

It will keep, in a block of ice, buried under feet of snow…..

All the more reason not to worry then. Freezing things in ice is a very effective means of preservation lol.

Well, this morning I had an unpleasant surprise (in the mailbox), Sprint sent a letter stating they had removed the equipment from one of the towers, checked it out, yup, they are gone. I have been waiting for this to happen for over two years, Dad has had his head buried in the sand about it. I suspect the other site will be removed shortly, if it already hasn't, going over there today to check. It is a huge hit to the budget, they paid more than twice what any single carrier pays and I CAN'T replace them with anything like it for revenue stream, probably ever. I have to talk with Dad about it, to try and reinforce that we are losing income as fast as he spends it and we need to figure out a budget before we get into too much trouble.

 

[csp]

What was the reason for removal?

 

[Strouty]

Merger with T-Mobile, redundant system, well they are trying to combine the two, so redundant lease. They still have to negotiate with me to add any equipment, but no way can I get the new rent high enough to cover the losses.

 

[xtremek]

With 5g, will you guys be adding more towers?
