One time we took the dog for a walk to a grocery store. I stood outside with the dog while family picked some things up. I wasn't dressed to the T's so to speak. I really enjoyed watching people cutting a wide swath around me and was hoping someone would give me a dollar. If you walk (or ride your bike somewhere) people just automatically assume you're poor.

I still want to pull a stint on a street corner for a weekend just to see what I can get. Now, now,....I won't just stand there with a cardboard sign, I'll dance a jig and put a show on....I have standards, dammit.

I did get my winch bumper last week, and there was a problem with the hoop bar that was on the finished product. Working with the seller, they'll send me the correct hoop bar and I'll cut the wrong one off and weld the right one on. Other than that, just a couple of modifications will have this custom bumper ready to rock. I should get notification very soon that my bed is in town and ready to pick up from the dealer.

I'll have a challenge getting all the wiring done between the breakers, relays and the switch panel mounting....but I will spend the time to get it done clean and run extra circuits in case I want or need to add stuff later on down the road.

Tires and wheels is still a hot mess, working on different manufacturers with similar tread designs from what I initially wanted. 38" isn't as popular as it once was, but 40" really is just too damn big even with the lift this truck already has. For an old school guy, it's kind of disappointing that the new trend in stupid big wheels with smaller profile tires has become standard. I happen to think most of it looks like shit.

Why? People giving money voluntarily is their own deal. I wouldn't feel bad for a second. Don't get me wrong, I still give serious attitude to people who give me a bullshit story, but that's because they're lying. I don't give money to people either, but if other people want to, that's their problem. I've always been interested to see if anyone would give me money if I just stood at a street corner all day not doing anything. Or have a sign that says something, but didn't ask for anything. Seems like a pretty miserable way to make $50 though.

Hey, do you guys know if you can pay money for a ride in a jet? Where?

I always ask them. Does that tagged price reflect a discount, since i'm paying in cash ?

Those all you can eat cafeterias are a breeding ground for who knows what . Especially those sneeze guards that act as a placebo. That do nothing for the ones who wipe their noses or scratch their skin right before they reach in and grab something from the back of the serving tray.

Speaking of eating at Furs. There was some nice talent working this strip club down in phoenix friday night.

Found a few jet places. Can ride in a Mig over the Gulf of Mexico for 30 minutes for only $2,700. Or you can fly in a WWII fighter out of Centennial airport for an hour for $700. Both include aerobatics.

Poit. Narrrrff
