Some of the runflats are ZR speed rated

Day three of no smoking and you still had six or seven smokes ? Not having much luck with the quitting are you , maybee you should try one of those hypnotists they work sometimes , just make sure it is a private visit cause if there is an audience he might make you do stupid shit

that's two people in two days who have said "I love Sarah Vowell."

I'm sorry about the loss o your friend.

I'm working on bribing my mother with fresh fish to take him for one of the nights

My nephew " devil boy " will be spending saturday day and night at my parents house and all it cost me was two trout but I still get the little bastard all day on sunday

What ...... how early do you need to go to sleep , you don't get up untill noon or so I caught a huge eel out of the river in my backyard just after dark tonight and one nice trout for dinner

Thanks for sharing your sick-ie story! I guess, more than just feeling run-down, I'm frustrated b/c the weather's getting nicer and I want to experience it and parallel that renewed Spring energy frequency inside myself. Instead I'm a congested snotty mess.

Oh well. Life goes on...

Man, even if he does give me the car, I don't know that I can take it. I mean, getting it up to Seattle would cost a lot (I can fly down for free, but driving up there would cost a lot in gas and hotels). Then there is the whole thing about getting it fixed - the electrical repairs would be cheap, but wouldn't be free (and I am penniless at the moment). Still, the transaxle is brand-fucking-new. And my older brother could really use a new vehicle. I'm sure if I gave it to him he'd fly down with me and help me drive it back and pay to get the little shit fixed, with the understanding that in a year or so I'd want it back (when I was in a position to fix it up proper).

Course, I could just have my Dad drive it up when I take the truck and trailer up. He bitched at the idea of taking his truck up to (I am trying to give my Dad's truck to my brother - hehehehe, and now my cousin wants it back, cause it was HER Dad's before he died, then she sold it to my Dad, but now that she's taking over my business she needs a truck, and since he's planning on getting rid of it anyways...long story, huh? It's even more complicated then all that), but....

I dunno. I need to think about this.

Yeah the plastic leg look on the Hooter's waitresses really sucks and they should be required to have DD cup racks as a condition of employment The problem with cheap condemned houses up here is lead paint and asbestoes , one 6 family house I bought many years ago as a rental property for $37,000 cost me $150,000 in lead abatement costs and I still had to retrofit the electrical , hvac , and water systems , I ended up loosing the house to eminent domain before I could recoup my investment , cause the town needed to widen the road

Sadly the real estate market around here is taking a hit now from the shitty economy , I hope it does not crash like it did back in 1992 Hopefully the seattle - kent area wont drop too much cause that would make for a shitty time to start a construction company

Just sent them to you.

If you don't kill the canadian geese before they are six months old the meat becomes so tough all you can do is make jerky , soups , and stew . A good friend of mine tried making the jerky several times and it never was very good . I used to have too deep fry my turkeys that I hunted cause that was the only real way I could get anyone to eat them . There is a couple of HUGE pheasants running aroud out back , they are native so they are twice the size of the puny stocked birds , and boy do they taste good

OH , our governor just raised the taxes on the smokes up here so now they are like five bucks a pack

you know, as an independent contractor, you still need to file and pay. I've seen some girls I work with get nabbed by the IRS, and it isn't pretty.

Looks like you will have some big shoes to fill

Getting all worked up allready , you might want to look into a propane powered generator so you can run the heaters off the same fuel source , and the infrared panel heaters don't require electricity so you will have more generator capacity available for the compressor and power tools etc...
I don't know if you build on concrete slabs down there in Texas , but up north you typically are not allowed to build on a slab , you need a full basement that extends below the frost line with proper drainage etc... If you are near a earthquake fault line there are even more requirements too .
You might want to look just builing a home for a property owner , many people buy the land and have an architect design their dream home before they look for a contractor to build their home , that would be an easier way to get yourself started without worrying about financing everything on your own , less risk too

My opening day fishing plans for this morning got dashed by a consulting customer emergency , so after I finish wrapping things up I might get a chance to grab a pole and catch diner
