Trularin, I remember scraping ice off the inside of the back window in a couple cars back in the midwest.

In case your post about 64* not being cold was in response to mine, it was sarcasm. It doesn't get cold here. Chilly enough to require a jacket (not a coat) at night sometimes. Never not shorts weather.

Now I am getting homesick again.

Finally able to get back to bugging everyone. It has not been a good last week and a half for me. But I think the worst is past.

It is Raining and COLD here today. Got clear down into the mid 50s last night. Most days are in the upper 70s to low 80s now even with the rain. Great driving weather except for rain.

Hope to hear from Earl and how he is doing soon. Boy, everyoine seems to be having problems. Tru and snow, Brent and heat. All the Texans have it made as they seem to have both.

Half your age? I'm older than 15.

Cute? Nah....you got me mixed up with Rich Lacy....hehehehe

But thanks....that made my day.

I laugh everytime I look at that picture....Rich looks like he's constipated the way he's kinda standing there squatting......hehheehe

Brent! Is that you?????

Kristen, sorry, got jammed and could not get on the computer or in my office yesterday.

Ron, good you are back to the bugging.

Flipper, yes It was sarcasm. I am hoping we get a 60 or more temp today.

It isn't the temp as much as the roads. Driving in Michigan is like driving in a used mine field. The holes are so big, whole cars are lost at a time.

Crap, G2G.

Brent, I wouldn't wear them shorts anywhere else.

Who's the chopped liver looking guy in the blue pants?

Ron61 · #10 (**permalink**) 05-05-2005, 01:03 PM

Brent,

How can you get homesick for -30 degrees and snow and ice all Winter? I have never wanted to go back there since I lived in up state New York and found out what their Winters can be like. Loved the people and summers, but those Winters are something else. Only worse ones I was in were in Korea. Of course with the weird weather patterns we are having now, you may have snow and ice down there soon.

Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.

Kristen:

Hey we will be right over.

I have been reading contracts all day. BORING

The Paypal contract is very elusive. If you have a Paypal account, Did you read the contract? I would bet you would be very surprised at it. I was.

No, that is not the only contract I have been reading. Can any of you recommend a good Merchant account provider? I Have emailed twenty or so and only one has replied. Can you imagine trying to get ahold of them if there is a problem.

More than likely will not do the Paypal thing. To many reasons to list here. It would take all day.

hey,littlecobra · #13 (**permalink**) 05-05-2005, 02:30 PM

hey, Steve. interesting about paypal. when I look at items on ebay, most have paypal.... but, there are a few that say in their description- "absolutely no paypal" and then elude to the evil empire type thing. No, can't say i've read my contract, but as a payer, not seller, it's probably not too bad.

Steve,

It sounds as if you are having an exciting day. Nothing more fun than trying to read and deciper all the little things they stick in contracts any more.

I just got off the phone with Earl and he sounded really good. Said he was feeling a lot better than yesterday and is looking forward to going home. He said it was pouring rain there right now. Same here. Rains laike mad for a while then the sun comes out and then it rains some more. Earl really wants to get his Cobra going and said he thought some of the guys there was going to come over when he gets home as it will be a while before he can do a lot. Wish I could say that. I never could do a lot.

Kristen, I am sure you are only a little older than me unless that was your granddaughter

I guess I should put some pics in my gallery.

Trularin, I had forgotten about the frost heaves and what they do to roads. Maybe I am not so homesick.

Ron, it is only -30* for a short time in the winter. I love the snow but where I grew up we usually didn't have enough to go snowmobiling for more than a couple months and the man made snow isn't that great to ski on. But I still miss it.

One other great thing here is the great flying weather. Clear skies 357 days a year. Too windy some days too, but not often. Now if could just find a plane to rent again...

LwCwb · #16 (**permalink**) 05-05-2005, 03:01 PM

Put Wings on your Cobra, get on the freeway and get up to about 110-120, and wal-la, you have a plane. Might be a little hairy to steer though!

flipper35 · #17 (**permalink**) 05-05-2005, 03:05 PM

Mike, I ain't that desperate to fly.

4RE KLR · #18 (**permalink**) 05-05-2005, 03:13 PM

To start with Ebay OWNS Paypal. That is why there are so many people useing it on Ebay.

The reason some won't is because they can't. Paypal limits what can be sold using their services. The list is endless. They also charge the seller 2.9% of the purchase price plus .30 per transaction.

This cannot be that big of deal, can it?

I have to look up every once and awhile to see if the sun is still up. Yea I am one of those guys that reads all the contracts. I guess spending fifteen years in the Banking busines taught me to read between the lines. Whew, I had to take notes on that one though.

Ron:
Tell Earl to get to a computer to waive at us, or something.

Hey Ron:

Did you get your new toys yet?

trularin · #20 (**permalink**) 05-05-2005, 07:52 PM

PayPal is a rip. I had an account many years ago, got screwed and said bye bye.

Steve, if you can do without, do without.

Kristen, hope you can make it, I sent the intel.

Flipper, yeah, there is no love lost with the passing of winter 04-05. The holes are gigantic. I think I might have lost a piece of clutch with one today.

Too tired, see ya'll in the morn.
