    I still use a fax machine at work daily. 

    The car business still loves faxing. Glad to see there are others still using it.

     

    Also due to the excessive rain and warm temps, I am unplugging the lights until further notice.

    Has everyone built their arc for Wednesday?  I finished mine last night but won’t have time to get the animals 

    Now that blue is under new ownership, I got a letter last week my houseboat had to be removed from the fishing pond. Apparently its an eyesore the new owners did not like. Just picked it up in case it will be needed tomorrow as an arc.

    I suspect by 6pm tomorrow there should be enough water for me to float down and pick you up?

  3. I have a mini split in my office for heat and ac. In the summer it can run non stop on ac and it hardly has an effect on the electric bill. My old office had a window unit and the office was bigger. The light bill was always high in the summer. I can't believe how efficient those mini splits are.

    Nice, my little  roto shit the bed last season. ended up renting one. I can rent for like 10 years on what a  new one cost just to use one day a year...

    I hear you. Thats why it took me forever to buy one. But I am not going to lie this thing was worth every penny. I tilled almost all the neighbors gardens too to be neighborly.

    I’ll trade you a blue buddy pass for a dealer tag.  Just like my past 3 screwdrivers, fleet department went into my desk on my off day and took my tag.  A few days later they were polite enough to inform me the tag fell off near Pittsburgh and is lost forever

    Not sure what is worse. Telling penndot your temp tags or dealer tags are stolen/lost lol

    Being a state rep is a pretty good gig.  $80k plus a year and you’re only in Harrisburg a few days a week and get paid mileage and a per diem. Plus if you are a state rep ten or more years you get a state pension. The only state rep I know is Mike Schlossberg who’s the state rep for the west end of Allentown, some of center city and south Whitehall. He works tirelessly and is at like every single chamber of commerce ribbon cutting. 

    A few businesses up this way got together to try and form a chamber of commerce. They invited Gary Day several times and he never would show. Conveniently, he showed up to one meeting in an election year and tried soliciting donations. There are some people who run for office because they care and want to try and make a difference. Others do it for all the wrong reasons.

    All I wanted to know from him is what happens if they expand the use of these cameras and someone on a test drive gets caught speeding on one of my dealer tags. You going to send me the ticket a month later and make me pay? He didn't know what to say and said he'd get back to me. I've been waiting since July and still no response.

    Mako?

    Gary Day actually.

    I don't understand how he even stays in office. People even in his own party don't have anything good to say about him. This summer while people were struggling to get unemployment they would contact his office for assistance. He would never get back to them personally, he left it up to his two secretaries.

    Another local business owner told me a few people were so mad about the unemployment situation they showed up to his house. Here during the work week, he was floating around his pool at his big house.

  8. My mom got a warning in the mail from one of those speed camera jeeps on 95 right before the Delaware state line last summer. They claim it was an "active" work zone but there wasn't a sole working there. First violation is a warning second is $75 fine and it goes up from there. No points on your license.

    I got into an ugly argument with the local do nothing state rep about it. I'm all for worker safety and he tried turning it around that I don't care about highway workers and support careless driving. No, I just find it wrong you have signs lit as "active work zone" when there is no work taking place just so you can use speed cameras. No different than a BS speed trap for revenue.

    On way out of mini market I told guy in line wear a fucking mask. 

    My aunt apparently got thrown out of wegmans and costco for not wearing a mask and made a scene each time. Glad we have different last names. She was never like this and we don't know what happened. 

  10. My sister came up from FL to go to her best friends baby shower the weekend before Thanksgiving. My mother tried talking her out of it for months to no avail. My mom refused to go and called the girls mom to tell her why and said if it was her daughter she wouldn't have a shower right now.

    The place they were going to have it at cancelled months ago because of covid. My aunt and uncle are converting a barn into a wedding venue in where else but New Tripoli. My anti-mask aunt wasn't about to let the baby shower be ruined and decided to hold it at the barn.

    Found out last night my sisters pregnant friend had cold chills and lost her taste and smell earlier this week. She got tested and found out this morning she was positive for covid. Time will tell if other people from the baby shower get sick.

    This is scientifically proven because @Johnny Lawsmokes a cig on every lift ride and I never inhale any smoke.  

    Truth. My dad used to smoke a cig on the quad if we were spaced far enough apart.

    He also applied the same theory to smoking while skiing. Worked well until he wiped out pizza wedging down raceway and his cig nearly caught his jacket on fire during the yard sale.
