Am I jinxed?

[Trinity]

What did he say?  "It looks like I'm the one going to hell?"

[Forty Rod]

I just never learn.

After swearing I never would again, I bought three pairs of Levis 501 jeans.  Took two back the next day...crooked seam on one pair, the other was missing a belt loop.  I sould have looked closer at the third pair.

I removed the labels and washed all three to "shrink to fit" and wore two pair  aternately for five weeks.  Got out the third pair this morning and the stitching on the top of the right pocket is just that: stitching.  It doesn't even touch the fabric for about two inches.

How the hell do these idiots stay in business?  Do they have more suckers than me?  Enough to keep them afloat?

I wish someone else made jeans I could wear.  Wranglers, Lees, all the rest fit me poorly.

[Coop Trawlaine]

Yeah, yer Jinxed....he he he ......Ever try Rustlers, they can be found at the Marts,  K and Wal, I find the fit the most comfortable and the wear time is like forever and they only normally retail for about $12 a pair I wait for the sales and get them for $8-9 a pair and buy 6 -8 pair at a time.

[Forty Rod]

Guess I'll have to give them a shot.  Thanks.

   Move over Forty it's my turn


   Came in for dinner today, took my wet jacket and boots off. Turned on computor and went to kitchen to make lunch.  Tried to get on line, no avail.....Montana figgured out that I disabled the firewall.....................


Saturday went to town bought a grinder and a table top belt and disc sander/grinder.  Came in this evening and was working a hilt for a knife on it. When it came a part. The top idler pully broke in half. Called manufactor...That part is back ordered till Dec.  The fellow very polite I might add, said take it back to store and exchange it.  Guess what? It was the last one in a box there. This fella said he would see what he could track down for me and call me tomorrow.


  Last week, I called one of the advertizer's here at Cas City, ordered new Tresco nipples for my Navies which are both different makers and not of the prefered makers.  Yep none fit either pistol....Will call tomorrow and see if I can get an exchange......Will send the offending nipples along with the new ones back.  If they will allow it.                         egads,       at least my new Wranglers fit and seem to be all there.

[Ozark Tracker]

LR, ya know what they say,  when it rains, it pours,  I know I've had days that nothing whatsoever seemed to go right, just no end in sight.

[Forty Rod]

Yep, 40 days and 40 nights of rain, a full day reprieve, and then it starts all over again.

Last year or late 2004 when Levi's closed their last US plant (San Antonio, Tx) I proclaimed that I would no longer buy any of their products.  (Besides, I haven't been able to wear 501's for several years now.   I always did like the fit back when I wore 'em.)

[Forty Rod]

You all know that little dingus on the bathroom basin that you pull up and down to open and close the stopper?

Well, I just took one out of my master bathroom and relaced the stopper with an old fashioned white rubber plug complete with a dogtag chain.  Bought a cap for the back of the drain pipe where the actuating rod USED to go through, and wrapped a bit of plumbers tape around it.  Threw away allt eh spare pars.

Works just fine and I have eliminated one more under-engineered, overly-prone-to-failure, costs-too-damn-much-in-the-first-place piece of junk from my life.

Might do the same thing in the front bathroom after my mom-in-law leaves...don't want to listen to her comments.

One more simplification of life.

Did I tell you all about my new car?

Uttt oh

[Sod Buster]

Did I tell you all about my new car?

Is it a Sudebaker Golden Hawk?

[Delmonico]

Might be an Edsel, could be a Yugo, I'm guessing a Vega.

[Coop Trawlaine]

I think maybe a Yugo, even if it is a tight fit......snicker snicker

[Four-Eyed Buck]

What happened now, Forty

[Delmonico]

He bought one a dem AMC Gremlin X's with the 401 and the four speed.  He let out the clutch and goosed it, it tipped over on the end.

[litl rooster]

Pinto wagon yeller colored with genuine imation wood side panels.  Factory 8 track which ate the first tape he stuck in it.

[Sod Buster]

He bought one a dem AMC Gremlin X's ....

I'd chose a Gremlin over a Pacer any day.
