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'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
