That ain't gonna happen. :)

FedEx just delivered my 2008 Hess Trucks today.

These ones are WAY cool.

Someday, assuming I ever have grandkids, they are going to enjoy my
Hess Truck collection. And the longer I keep the unopened boxed set
in original condition, the more they are worth.

Tell you what - I'll sell you the opened display truck collection.
It's complete from the first one to today's arrival. Only opened for
display purposes, then put back into the box after I'm tired of that
display and I put up others.

I'll take $150,000 for them. That includes the specials including the
ones offered only to stock holders. :)

Duly noted.


I look under my car daily to see if stuff is leaking by the bucket
load or look for stuff about to fall off.


I heard a rumor from oe of your neighbors that you actually pedal your
car to work like Fred Flintstone because it doesn't have a floor - is
that true?

I'd say that's one reason they are dropping photo hosting.

They'll probably tank in a couple years.

I gave Tim a Yashica range *finder I had - great camera - loved it
actually, but I never used it much - I doubt it's had four roles of
film put through it - practically brand new.


I'll testify to that!

Well, yes and no. uh.. not now that is. it's amazing what you can do
with some tar and sheet tin.


Really!

It's been at least a year since an AOL signup CD has fallen out of any
magazines I've purchased. I took that as a good sign.

I bought three of the 2008 trucks a couple days ago. They are cool. Did you
get the little camper trucks that came out in June or July. The kids love
them too.

You're right about the grandkids. They love them, if you let them play with
them!

No, I'll pass on the set. Thanks for the offer though!
