HEY ALL!! through the five hole

    "    A smile relieves a heart that grieves, remember what I said, I'm not waiting on a lady .. .. don't need a whore, I don't need no booze, don't need a virgin priest, but I need someone I can cry to, I need someone to protect, making love and breaking hearts, it is a game for youth, but I'm not waiting on a lady    "    Well here comes the rain!! Suppose to be 'wet' for several days. That's OK, as long it is stays as RAIN!! Well the oddity that is eBay has done it again. I have been listing items for about three years now. I am sure there are items that have been listed the entire time. I have started to play around with different aspects. I will change the type of auction, the length, the price, etc. So after NOT selling anything the last two weeks. I think that I will take a break during Thanksgiving and just wait till the first of December to start listing again. Well at the last minute I think NO, lets just shorten the time from 7 days to 5 days. I don't want to have any auctions going over Thanksgiving weekend, I just don't think that will be effective. So I list stuff, and again change a few items around. About two hours after the listings start, I sell an item!! And something I have left off the listings for about 6 weeks!! OK COOL!! Then later in the evening I get two offers for two other items. YES!! I accept both offers, I have now sold three items in less than eight hours!! So as I say, the oddity that is eBay!! Let's see if that continues. I also by mistake left my most expensive category at seven days, so those will end around noon on Thanksgiving day!?!? Who knows, maybe that is the key??  CHOW MOI!!

HI ALL!! no brains, no headaches

    "    when I'm watchin' my TV, and a man comes on to tell me, how white my shirts can be, but he can't be man 'cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me    "    Well, just doin' what I do!! Was able to get out yesterday and cleaned up the garage and the shed. Put away tools and finished my side work table. Re- arranged things as well. Then got out today and ran some errands. I am now feeling a little sore throat, kind of scratchy. I thought I was coming down with a cold the other day, but it went away. I hope this does the same thing. I have been looking at finances the past several days and getting stuff arranged. It will be SOOO great to pay a lower mortgage payment next month!! I just keep doing what ever I can to get the finances aligned and slowly it's all falling in line. Was able to sell a couple of items on eBay, and got those shipped out. Need to get plans together for getting my brother next week, and plans for Thanksgiving. Tried to track down the new American Honey Bourbon, STING. But found out it is not in Washington State. It is a limited released item, so I will have to see if I can find someone out of state to send me a bottle. It is Honey Bourbon infused with Ghost Peppers. Ghost peppers are like 100 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. I am sure it will not be off the charts, they do after all want to SELL the alcohol!! Other than that just hummin' and strummin'!!  CHOW MOI!!

HEY ALL!! if I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times

    "    Tell me honey what will I do, when I'm hungry and thirsty too, feeling foolish and that's for sure, just waiting here at your kitchen door, hey baby what's in your eyes, is that the diamonds from the mine    "    Well it looks like the cold has come upon us. It has been chilly the last several days, and looks like that will continue for a few more days. I was able to get the yard mowed on Tuesday, took care of a lot of branches and such that feel in the winds as well. Then Tuesday night, MOE wind and  a LOT more branches as well! WOW, now it looks like I never cleaned anything off. But I think that will be last mow of the year. I did hear from my daughters and they have got Thanksgiving planned out. That is earlier than past years, so good to know. My brother will be coming out for a few days as well. Did sell a couple of items on eBay, nothing big, but sales are sales!! I am making the last mortgage insurance payment this month, so then my monthly payment will drop. Just maybe the light at the end of the tunnel is NOT a train coming at me. Let's wait to confirm that, but looks good at this point. I have been feeling a little under the weather since my mowing day, I wonder if I got a little winter cold starting up?!?!  CHOW MOI!!

HI ALL!! .. just hummin' along

    "    Well you bit my lip and drew first blood, and warmed my cold cold heart, and you wrote your name right on my back, boy your nails were sharp,  ..  well I love your screams of passion, in the long hot summer night, but you pepper me with poison darts, and twisted in your knife,  ..  well the only thing I ask of you, is to hand me back some pride, don't you dump me on some dusty street, and hang me out to dry    "    Well it's been a nice week. Got my new phone, finally a 'smart' phone. I just don't want to get caught up in the " use your phone for EVERYTHING " syndrome. I don't want to spend that kind of money on a phone every month. I am on the Tracfone system, with Verizon coverage. I finally once again get reception at my house. I don't need to be on line and surfing on the phone, since I am at home and can get on the computer. But, it is nice to have a fairly modern phone again. I was able to get it set up on Bluetooth with both the cars and am ready to roll. Actually sold several items on eBay this week!! Was able to sell 41 of the die cast Muscle Machine cars I had. Didn't get a lot of money for them, but they are sold and shipped. I am only left with 8 of the special 'Patriotic' die cast cars. And, even sold several cards as well. So all in all a nice week. Thinking I should mow the yard one more time, just not sure when, but I think it will be soon. Have been dropping hints with my daughters about Thanksgiving plans, and I think my brother will attend this year. Been felling good as well.  CHOW MOI!!

HEY ALL!! up high where momma keeps the thin mints

    "    when the wind blows and the rain feels cold, with a head full of snow, n the window there's a face you know, don't the nights pass slow, the sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind, just another mad, mad day on the road, I am just living to be lying by your side    "    Well into November we go, WOW! The rain is upon us. It was a great World Series, and now the winter fun begins. Meetings, awards, trades, free agents, etc , etc. Good times for all?!?! Not much going on, was able to help my brother in law clean out my gutters over the weekend. NICE!! That is a challenging job every year. One of these years I am going to buy " The smart gutter protector " and keep all those leaves and stuff out of the gutters. Also was able to winterize most of the yard, and clean some stuff up. Starting to think about plans for the holidays. So much of it depends on my daughters and things they got going. Will try and get my brother out here for Thanksgiving this year. My sister and I have a plan!! Been quiet on the eBay front, and on the 'paperwork' front. Got my mortgage payment reduced by dropping the Mortgage Insurance, and all medical and such is lined up. Ended up owing about $250.00 on the 14 month old doctor bill, but so be it. I KNOW the insurance company is at fault, but no way to prove it now. Just pay it and let it go. Kind of one of those 'pick your fight' things. Tracked down an old work associate. She is now living in Texas. Told her she needs to send me some Kolache!! What I haven't told her yet is, I got an ex-wife AND ex-girlfirend that live fairly close (for Texas) to her, and I may want her to swing by and say " HI " to them for me!!??  CHOW MOI!!
