Irritations #2

Woke up to snow this morning.....and laundry. B-)

Just got home from Dallas... the trip to the airport was miserable this morning: 5:55, find rental car with flat tire. 6:10 depart, 10 minutes behind schedule (traffic slows badly at 6:30 on that road)… 6:19, traffic slows, 6:28 get passed a major intersection and traffic grinds to a halt, 6:50, finally get past a fender bender… three busted radiators, but nothing major. The cars should have moved over to the shoulder, but they didn't. 7:00 arrive at rental car turn in (almost missed the turn though). Car isn't in the computer properly, car was designated a one-way rental, and should not have been rented local, 7:15 get car checked in, 7:18 get to inside counter to get receipt. 7:40, give up on argument that receipt isn't really a receipt because it shows a list of charges, not a zero balance due. Things got better as we left rental car land on the bus to the terminal. US Air surprisingly didn't cause any pain, discomfort or inconvenience.... Kevin

Neville? Seems to me he banished me from the N group for no good reason at all. F*ck the Pr!ck! Maybe his umbilical cord finally broke, and the B@ST@RD bled to death. CJ]:) (not bitter at all)

You go for it Ernie, and I can tell there is no animosity at all, the followers have decided I should be their new leader, RIGHT:^O. ]:)

[ginzokid]

Watch your language CJ! He banned me for life too. And I was once leader of that group too. You would make a great leader Barry. Anyone call for an election yet? B-)

So here is my irritation of the day. I went online tonight and was doing a little surfing. Well, I decided to look on my brother, uncle and dad's website's to see what kind of cars they were selling as we are looking into a new/used car to replace our dying Blazer. As most of you know, my dad specializes in antique/classic cars. I found something that he really should GIVE to his eldest daughter!!! Now if he really loved me, don't ya think he should. See this link and look at the 2nd car for sale. http://www.villageservice.com/ I will try to post a pic in my album too for those of you that can't get there! To top it all, he never told me he had it and we were just out there the end of last month!!!!!!!!

[70novahound]

That is a great ride, and a fantastic site. I put it in my favorites, maybe a future transaction for me. Sorry about the language Dad, I thought I was being nice.:D CJ]:) (I still hate that B@ST@RD)

[crazyd37]

CJ, wouldn't you be a bit p/o'd if you were me that he didn't even show it to me!!!!! I am still p/o'd. I think I may call him over the weekend when I calm down! He does have lots of goodies. There are 2 showrooms (all fixed up in the classic car oldie style) and another garage that he keeps these goodies in. I wish you could see them all. I would never even try to guess the investment he has in them all. He goes all over the country all the time looking for them.

I'm in Trenton (Ontario) for 24 hrs. Fly out tmorrow night at 7. (ok make that26 hrs) I would rather change planes at toronto and continue onto europe and have a stay over. IF we remember I was here on course for 3 months and hated every day of it. Glad now I bought the laptop. Guys told me that my wireless will supposedly work when in Khandahar. Saw some trains/cars along 401 here. Over Dave Oh yea, can't make a collect cal from phone in rm. Least with laptop I sent an email saying I made it with lodge phone number so misses can call me.

[ginzokid]

Dot, You mean the REA truck? Awesome! Dave, Now we know where you are going. I hate Toronto! Too much smog and too busy on the roads. Stay safe..... No irritations yet today.... B-)

[barrysfp45]

Getting laid off so watch for trains and other stuff to go up for auction starting Sunday. More N scale stuff starting next week as soon as I sort through them. Doug

[ginzokid]

Bummer Doug! Is the company closing or what? That Challenger should bring a good price. Too bad you feel you have to sell the trains stuff. What prospects for other work up there? B-)

[jamajack]

Doug, Sorry to hear that a lay off is coming. Like Pete asks, does it look like a permanent layoff or a short duration? Try to hang in there before having to start selling off your N gauge,it was hard enough to get in the first place and then to have to start again would be that much harder to do. Best of luck Jack

[70novahound]

Annie's company is closing the doors. They are finishing up with ongoing projects, and then see ya. It should take about two months for the gate to close. Now both of us will be in the bread line. I hope it isn't permanent Punk. Good luck buddy. CJ]:)

[ginzokid]

Damn Y'all. I'm sure glad I'm retired. Save your Confederate Money boys! The South will rise again! Maybe you should all come up to the land of moose and retire. There goes the IROC and another N scale collection. I make fun, but I'm really concerned about both you guys and girls. Wish I had a million or two.......... Keep us posted. B-)
