If you need a deck hand, let me know. :)

Mean???? I try to help you for your own good. (and the good of the
newsgroup)



That is just his way to rub it in when you run into some bad luck.

What a nice guy he is.

Since JohnH is stuck in a 50's mindset regarding the environment, that
'55 Ford truck would be perfect for him.
It even has a Mustang engine to help him feel sporty around the high
school crowd.


That truck is a blast to run around in. It really ****ed me off when I
caught the door on a tree while backing it up a few weeks ago. Oh well
... something else to fix.

Almost the same damage happened to my mini-van a few years ago. I was up at
our Costco in an open area (industrial park) and paked pointing away from
the wind. When I opened my door, a strong gust took it and slammed it open
damaging both door and driver side fender. I had to travel 250 miles to a
funeral so I forced the door open numerous times and made the damage worse.
I had to pay the first *%$^ $500.00 to have it fixed.

Good luck! We also sold some furniture that we bought when we had our first
kid. This was good stuff, not Taiwan junk, and it was immaculate 7 years and
one more kid later. Damn near got what we originally paid for the set.

deal fell thru, and he came by and bought it. Less than 24hrs from listing
to sale.

Gotta love Craigs list


Well, I gotta admit it - I trust you and Eisboch to tell it straight.

So I'm listing the Halman on Craigslist - Northshore and Boston.

We'll see what happens.

Almost changed over to a govt run insurance program like they have in a
couple of provinces out west.
Our polticians sold us out to the insurance industry...for the right price I
assume.

With the price of fuel, that Halman should be the last boat you sell.

I will tell you what happens if you are selling anything that
is a decent deal--listed my old 9N Ford tractor last night at about 8 PM and
had 18 calls plus some emails by noon today. Gonna have to delete the
listing to get some peace.
Good luck! Dan
