It's a matter of probability theory. What are the chances in this twisted society we live in to find a partner that is equally smart, decent, loyal, productive, knows how to cook and look after herself, not stuck on Face**** or texting moma 24/7, not seeing you as a nest, money or sperm provider, with a good amount of integrity, while not being a sheep to public opinion, the Dems nor the bias in the media?

Chances to find a girl like that is in the per-mille bracket, and I'm no gambler.

I'm a fan of boats n hoes, jus sayin'.

And lose them like guns in the lake with just enough time to catch a random STD?

My body and spirt is worth too much for any of that short term fun. Ever wondered if they had enough time to clean up after the last guy? Maybe they keep a bunch around.

Not. My. Style.

WOW. I just caught this thread......I LIKE YOUR STYLE

Long story, but, I found that UNICORN lady 27 years ago...

NOTHING is perfect but I'll settle for what we have, 9 on a 10 scale

(at my ripe old age of 86 I have "women" stories I could tell ya)

Finally getting to work on the fridge / sink / induction cooktop cabinet. Love the new table saw, very clean cuts!

Still need a proper shop with AC. It's so ******* hot and humid, I have to come inside and cool off every 10 minutes.

Cardboard works well as a template.....(I'm sure you know that)

Project is lookin' good.....

 

That's what I did 2 post up. Bought white cardboard that is easier to cut than the thick stuff.

But I also ordered a Contour Gauge the other day.

THE SINGLE CAMPER PROJECT love it

I used cardboard because t was a one time use, and needed it right away,,,I'd buy that gadget but I'm trying ti cut out buying any new tools that I "may" need again...

About working outside,, yesterday I tried to hang a new hose reel, started drilling the wall with my hammer drill, got 3 holes done and I felt light headed,  that's it for the day

MrsDaka came home and gave me hell .....HIRE SOMEONE, WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT...(It;s hard to admit to yourself that you aint 40? 50? 6o? 70? any more..)

You clearly have a LOT of cash value installed in this van beyond your labor and tools such as the saw purchased for the project. 

Have you been able to obtain realistic insurance to cover the risks of loss associated with accident or theft or vandalism?

The standard automobile policy appears useless for this, beyond liability coverages.
