Bahahaha! A new guy showed up for Krav this morning.....he's a Marine and was rather full of himself. MCMAP is rather amusing at the lower levels.

I actually came pretty close to buying a Cayenne GTS when I was looking for a car a while back. I decided I drive too much to be in something that gets 15mpg, and I'm pretty fond of my warranty on my escape. .

People are very image concesious about what realtors drive, and the escape is much more low key.


And no, a golf cart wouldn't work for me, I work all over the valley. If I specialized in one 55+ community maybe, but not likely. And those are pretty much the only place you see golf carts out here.

Rick that thing look hard to drive if you have to just see what is on the ground right in front of you. How do you stay in the seat with it like that. Stomping on the brakes should be easy.

Whew. Golly that was fun. I just shoveled off my 30 acre driveway. Well it seems like 30 acres when shoveling. I can park 6 cars on the part in front of the garage and 4 more on the part from the street to the garage. And that is with my cars in the garage. I can leave parts in the corner covered in crap but most of it needs to be cleared.

Well that was fun, I now deem the M to be road worthy. This thing is just a truck load of torque and when it shifts gears ya better be ready, she jumps forward. I will have to say I am a little disappointed in the handling, it feels like I am driving a truck. I got a lot of big eyed stares from the few cars I met. I stayed to the back roads since it isn't tagged yet

Damn, when did car batteries get so pricey? $109 for a new bug battery!


Good news is that it's almost free, because I'm selling a dyson vac for $100 this evening that I found by the curb! Somebody threw it out because it had no suction. I pulled a piece of the piping off and cleaned out the hairball and Xmas tree needles and cleaned it up and it works fine!

yep, lotsa people try to use their upright for a canister shop vac. Those dysons do have a tendency to clog up too.

My next door neighbor recommended i pick up the leaves in my yard with a shop vac. He vacuums his yard (yes, grass) about 3 times a year.

I pick up leaves with the tractor, crunch them up and put them back in the yard a few feet to the right of where I found them

It'd be closer to $200 in the middle of Oz.

I had to vacuum my back yard once, when the pooch at the time killed a bean bag we'd left out on the clothes line to air.
