Looking at evilpay- thinking of taking my chances on a junkyard driver's door window. Couldn't get it to roll up last night so I slammed the door trying to get things moving and the glass shattered. Re-man motors are available from NAPA for less than the ones on evilpay with no shipping so I'll go that way. Not sure if I should replace the rest of the regulator too.

And the amigo needs a heater core.

I'll take a chance on that beef Tallguy, sounds good, not sure about those jalapenos, but there's only one way to find out heh.
We had duck last night, with white and brown potatoes and brown gravy, and I had a nice dark beer to go with it, mmmmm.
Today I had the rest of it just mixed and heated, and I ate too much again .
Still trying to get my new shop finished, it's coming along slow but safe, probably more slow than safe, but that's just me....

Well, maybe. Finally. Raised h e double toothpicks with State Farm this morning. First they tried that "we have been trying to get a hold of you" BS, then they tried the "we never got it" BS. That was the wrong thing to say so I let them both have it. I used words they really don't like to hear, and I never said lawyer. Just sent off the information both medical and property damage departments claimed they needed to finalize the claims. We shall see.

The following picture is a brief summary of the last two months.

Great weather, good fun, flat tires, funerals, weddings, shrew poop than back to good weather.

At least my house is still where I left it and (as Cougar said) there is now enough snow to make things look a little brighter.

No internet for a lot of the last two months so I am spending the rest of the evening doing nothing but catching up on the important things (like your posts).

The mail and bills can wait until tomorrow.
