Dolores.

I don't know why, I just thought Dolores.

The cats and dogs look at it/her suspiciously.

Hey Baz, you need to get up here! I'm giving away a ladder on Craig's List!

"Eight foot wooden step ladder, free to a good home. Could use a little tightening, but no bad cracks or rot. Has a chip out of one step where my wife accidentally shot it."

I'm not going to ask how you got your fun out of her. Does she have fingers growing out of her left arm?

Bill Douglas 06-07-2021 11:04 AM

Those are broken off fingers from her right hand. I guess that's why she got "deserted" at the dump shop. I glued them back on. In a year or whenever I'll be setting up my small commercial unit as a man cave with Porsche/motorbike/surfboards/tools/hoist/horded belongings and more horded belongings. And I thought she could be part of the artform of the place.

I've got three full size mannequins in my backyard that someday I'd like to restore and paint glossy hotrod colors like candy apple red, black and yellow with pinstripes like these...

I'm not a doctor, but I'm thinking fingers coming out of an elbow is not anatomically correct. I may be wrong.

Instapot, panini press and a giant case of christmas leds. Free from recycle depot. 😃

Picked up this 24' Werner extension ladder this morning in Port ORange (20 minute drive) for $50 from a local CL listing. In really good condition - almost perfect. They sell for $216 at HD.

I already have a 28' and 16' and this one will be the perfect addition to the family. A lot of times I was lugging that 28' around, when a 24' like this would have sufficed.

I was already in the neighborhood to pick up some stuff at Harbor Freight so was able to consolidate my trips.

Good score. A few years ago i got one for free. The lady was about to call special pickup to have it taken away but they wanted 35$ to pick it up. Win win for both of us.

porsche4life 06-09-2021 01:22 PM

Nice ladders, but I never want to use one again! 🤣

porsche4life 06-09-2021 09:44 PM

Just picked up a 2000 model Jetta for $600. Needs a coolant pipe replaced and some general maintenance but is good shape otherwise! It might need a head gasket, but until I can get the coolant leak fixed and really run it I’m not sure.

Nice...it would seem that absolute worst case scenario, you'd at least double your money selling a few parts off it.

They are great little cars. A suspension rebuild using Audi bushings and firmer struts makes them into decent drivers.

I looked back and they were both laughing their heads off looking at me so I said "It looks a bit like you." that shut the super model looking one up but the other one laughed even more. I was half way to the car and some random guy yelled out "Ya got a new girlfriend." Ha, some people have no manners (LOL). Then I got it home and proudly showed GF. She didn't look terribly impressed and said "Well at least put some pants on her." So I put on an old pair of jeans and a Hawaiian Lei. I really like it. It's for my man cave. So all 'n all, it's been a bit of an adventure. I certainly got my thirty bucks worth of fun out of it/her.

Hey Bill.......

When I saw your post I thought man that is way cool - I gotta get one of those! None on the local CL so I found a place selling brand new ones on eBay. She arrived yesterday and I got her assembled today. Right now she's guarding my bikes!

She already gave ME a scare earlier when I came in from surfing and was washing off my board I forgot she was there until I caught her out of the corner of my eye.....:eek::D

Now I gotta get some clothing for her. Maybe even a bikini! :p
