    Spending 2200 bucks for repairs on a vehicle before making first payment is a kick in the nuts.

    I have 8 Stealth cams out. Between land owner, me and critters running around I have to think mine are missing a lot of what goes on over there. I’m going to look into putting a couple cell cams and 5-6 regulars. If anyone has any ‘these are the best’ I’d love to hear recommendations. My first 2 were Wildgame Innovations I bought from Menards and they took crystal clear great pics.

    Inconsiderate idiots-ones that are family members.

    Tomorrow, I'm smoking chickens. Last night after 9, there was a banging on my door. 3 of the wife's cousins were at the door.

    Hey, we heard you are smoking chickens on Thursday as they are holding out bags of chickens-still frozen.

    WTF???

    I can't possibly tell you all the full conversation. I was pretty polite right up to the point someone said "thanks for wrecking Christmas"

    At that point, I slipped the leash and went full ******* on them. Chased them off my porch and to their car.

    Get off my ******* lawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Best part? Going to see these morons on Saturday where the family will hear the rest of the story should they even look at me.

    The wife !!! Note to self... never let her schedule her whole vacation at the same time as my whole vacation. Her never ending list of stuff for me to do is worse then the job's work list of stuff to do. I am starting to miss work and I am only 5 days into it my vacation.

    LMFAO. Damn close

    Sent a screen shot to my wife.

    If I wasn't so pizzed off about it, I could laugh at them for buying organic chicken at 2.5x normal chicken price. They had well over $100 in chicken.

    Hope they choke on them.

    Yea knew there was something goin on with it when bought it, light was on. Dealership said they'd check it but didn't. Shoulda been first red flag. So when I went to get it they said it was used and sold as is, so reminded them when first looked the agreement was they'd at least see what light was, written and singed agreement. So they drug their feet and finally just said they'd knock off 3k.

    So against better judgment went ahead with purchase. But what started out as just needing a tune up has turned into needed a new head. Issue was one cylinder misfiring and I did the plugs, wires, and coil myself and changed one other sensor that did nothing. So took it somewhere else and that was diagnosis.

    So evidently it is a thing a person can buy a don't weigh me card that they can present when they go to a clinic. Evidently if you are fat it is humiliating to actually measure how much fatter you have become.

    We get it Netflix, Amazon Video, and Disney...you want us all to know women are as strong as men. All these new shows coming out show women run kingdoms and women flipping men head over heels in combat...killing hordes of men with their bare hands.

    We get it. Time to go back to normal. Thank you.

    Oh snap. I agree, should have been first red flag - but pretty ****ish on their end to even try and sell a vehicle with lights on.

    Come to a small town in the midwest. Easy peasy.

    You might have 2 carriers to choose from.

    First world problem

    Yeah, we were switching 4 lines to Verizon...took 3 hours.

    There is a Verizon tower like 1/4 mile from our property, so this was a strategic move.

    Had att put a tower in about 1.5 miles from my house. Made zero difference in our ability to use a phone.

    The upside is that I got to give the company their electronic leash back. Lol.

    Car dealers? Thats easy. Tell them you are left handed and have 10 thumbs. It will take me 15 minutes to get the paperwork ready and you can stuff the $xx document fee.

    As an alternative, they have 30 minutes to get you out the door with the new ride or the deal is off.

    Unfortunately, in the day of covid, that threat no longer works
