[Delmonico]

Truth is if I she folks in their late 20's or early 30's only I seldom stop, they have nothing I want.  I see folks 50's or older I do.  Pretty much doesn't fail.

Can't do yard sales. Too many wimmen 'round 'em. They get tunnel vision soon's they see one – while they're still drivin'.  Dangerous.

Do enjoy the thrift shops. More neat stuff in there. Ain't bought a new pair of jeans since I first stepped inta one lookin' for sunthin' else. Don't intend to. Ya walk out feelin' like ya stole sumthin'.

[Leo Tanner]

Ahh, the thrift stores.  Lil just went yesterday an come home with some good stuff.  I got hooked on em when I was layin carpet an blew the knees outta ma jeans inna month.  Found the book section an increased ma library an then there is the records.  You do feel like ya stole somthin specialy on half off day.

We had a thrift store that had a Big and Tall section. When I was a detective, I bought several sport coats and suits over there. I haven't been over there in a long time.

Mornin', peeps.

Looks like we've blown the secret of the thrift stores. Now all the lurkers'll know...............

The guessers er sayin' taday starts the progression back inta the nineties. Oh well, it's August. Forty six days 'til fall. Got an errand ta run. Aside from that it's an inside day. Kinda short on 9mms 'n I wanna polish (I won't say wax) the cook top. Reckon I'll get to it.

[Texas Lawdog]

Thanks for the Cawfee this mornin'. It's too hot to drink anymore this morning, I'm switching to iced tea instead. I got out early and cleaned up an old fan that was in the garage for Moose to take to school next week. They can only work from 0630 to 1030 before the building gets too hot. I did some adjusting on the sail shade to finish covering over the patio door. I think it helped some yesterday afternoon. I have started a fund for one of those Sun Setter awnings that they advertise on TV. I should have enough money saved up by the first part of May.  It's supposed to be somewhere between 106 and 108.(temp not heat index). I came in about 1030 this morning, after about 4 hours in the heat.

[Delmonico]

I hit the thrift stores on Mon-Wed on the way to work if I have time.

Neighborhood looks like an F-0 or small F-1 went through it, got hit by a T-storm last night, we ain't got any damage bur there's cars smashed by trees, power was out for 4 hours, most of it was the south half of town, our area got hit the worst.  Met a lot of neighbors last night, seem to be good folks.  Young guys arcoss the street cleared my drive of a big oak limb.

[Leo Tanner]

Thanks fer the Cawfee.

Not a lot goin on.  Workin on the chair paintin with the Little Woman, comin along nice.  We got some old plain wicker chairs an a little table and masked off patterns.  Didn't take a bafore picture but we all no what plan wicker looks like.  Put some up after the second coat on chair number 2.

Ya all have a good 'un.

Rita was talking to another one we hadn't met yet, offered to cut the stuff up, but another one wanted already for the oak fire wood.  He said something about a neighborhood party in late Sept.

[Leo Tanner]

Sounds like ya found a nice place ta hang yer hat Del.  Good neighbors can be hard ta find.  We had an ice storm in KC an first thing in the mornin there were folks goin down the block and cleanin up everyones cars. 

[wildman1]

Arcey, WAX that puppy!!  WM

[mestiza letty]

Talapia breaded fillets, squash succatash and fresh 'cukes n' sliced 'maters was on the menu tanite...good and healthy

[Leo Tanner]

We eat a lot of talapia.  The crusted stuff is real good.  We still don't know what we is doin fer the night, but it's gotta be an early one. 

Found out the Winchester was made in 1974.  Ain't an antique but I was only 3 when it rolled outta the plant.

[Texas Lawdog]

Thanks for the Cawfee this morning. I'm up early for a change this morning. I'm about halfway through the first cup of Cawfee and my eyes are starting to open. I have gotten spoiled since I retired.  Leo, We had hot dogs with grilled onions and brown mustard for supper last night.
