"My Brother Seems To Think We Havi It In Stock"

That was the response I got when I called the equipment supply shop to see if they have the part I need for my brush cutter.

I called first because it's a 27 mile drive one way.

That's just typical of the way they do business here.

Open 20 minutes late. Close 15 minutes early. Close for lunch. Don't stock the most common items...



AloooooooooooHA!

I seem to think I won't go postal if I drive down there and they don't have it.

You're living in paradise, why get mad? Have yourself one of those umbrella drinks and chill on the beach. You'll feel better.

Out here in Genesee Idaho the only paradise we got is Gangstas Paradise. It's rough, fool.

Sounds good. It's 11:30 am here right now. Good time to head to the beach.

Now you're talking. I'm sitting on the side of the highway waiting for Uncle Les to come out with a 235/75/15 tire so I can get on my way. I'd much rather be at the beach.

Wish I was there. I'm a ukelele playing MOFO. Not many hula girls on Lake Erie.

Is it getting hot in l/C yet? Damn that smell. Grew up on the S Fork Clearwater river, about 75 miles SE. Been a long time.

Had snow Saturday night for 1/2 hour or so. Now it's in the 80's. Sweating my ever loving ass off.
