The April Coffee 'n Tea Thing - No Foolin'

[Texas Lawdog]

The temp is in the low 60s, with a high of 85. We have not had much spring weather to speak of.

[Arcey]

Not much spring? Want some that green stuff what blows 'round in the breeze? Got plenty. It's all o'er everythin'. Gotta nice layer on the dashboard I'll be happy ta send ya. Make's ya think it's spring.

Housewife stuff's done. Gonna get out 'n see what kinda trouble I can get inta. Come back 'n get ta cleanin' revolvers I intend ta dirty up shortly.

[Texas Lawdog]

Around here, We go from ice and snow, to hot and muggy summer weather. The heat and humidity really bothers Victoria, she stays in when it is hot and muggy. She goes out before sunup, if it is still cool outside.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Our long coat dachsy isn't a fan of hot and muggy either,TLD. Gets her to panting pretty quick

Been raining off and on most of the morning here. Just had a quick shower here now

Will probably be going out to look at washers this evening $$$ Just when I thought I was going to have some cash to myself

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Afternoon y'all, been a spell since I signed on.

Buck, TLD, Arcey referring to your earlier conversation, we aint old we're just well seasoned.

Been getting stuff done around the place, now that the weather has warmed up that includes mowing every few days.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Gonna have to fire up the mower/mowers here shortly,LIT. With the rain showers, have to wait till it dries some

[Texas Lawdog]

LIT, I consider myself well past well seasoned, and then some.

[The Trinity Kid]

Afternoon all.

Not much goin' on out here.  Had some showering coming from the coast, but not enough to streak the dirt on the car.

On the subject of cars...  anybody know of a way to make $2600 appear in three days?  Found a real nice Trans Am for that amount, but I don't have the dough...   Oh well..

That TA is bunch of tickets waiting to happen.

[pony express]

Teenager in a Trans Am.....looks like a god way to get unwanted attention, even if you're staying strictly within the limits.

Most "attention" I ever got was when we used to have a red '74 Nova with black stripes and mag wheels.

[Delmonico]

If I was a cop i'd give you a ticket just because teenagers in Trans Am's most likely need one. 

Wife got one a while back. 41 in a 35, but it wasn't fair, he was waiting out of site on the other side of a viaduct.     Yeah, that's how I got it 2 years ago, you'd think she's of learned from me.

For Arcey:

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Once a Law Dog, always a Law Dog

Temps have dropped here,49. Rain has stopped. Have the keys to the kingdom for tomorrow

[pony express]

Only time I actually got a ticket in that Nova, I earned it. 80-something in a 55, but I was lucky....he caught me after I was slowing back down.

But even when I WAS behaving, it seemed like someone must have pasted a picture of a cop car on my rearview mirror, 'cause every time I looked at it, there one was!

[The Trinity Kid]

Around here, you're more likely to find a deer in your rearview than a cop car...   'Sides, most o' the deputies around here would challenge me to a race to Big Bar.    (Joke intended).  Actually, the roads around here make their own speed limits.  anything over 60 (limit's 55) and you are asking to take a flight 40 feet over a cliff to the rocky bottom of the river. 
Still, it might be asking for trouble to have it anyway.    Heck, tomorrow is sweet 16.  I need to get a little trouble sometime.

[Delmonico]

Buy a decent pick-up, far more useful.

[Texas Lawdog]

I had a friend that bought a new 78 TA. He kept it awhile and needed a truck.  He sold it and the new owner proceeded to wrap it around a telephone pole.

[Texas Lawdog]

Buck, I spent 40 years as a LEO, old habits die hard.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Nothing bad about that,TLD. Just seems to get ingrained in the DNA at some point.

39 here, cloudy( so far).

We did get a washer, no bells and whistles, just basics. Clearance model at Lowes. Being in a manufactured home, we have space considerations when it comes to big appliances. The one that died gave us 16 years, so I guess we got our money's worth out of it. Only had one service call on it for the water level sensor

[Arcey]

Mornin',

Mid sixties comin'.

Been wonderin' when the washer thing we have's gonna drop its retirement papers. Best memory it's in its teens.

Should one wanna trans thing one should be sure it has a big bird decal on the hood, good fer 50 more horse power. The plastic aero skirts greatly increase the vehicle's handlin' capabilites too.

We had Maytag Washer & Dryer that work for us 17 years , gave them way in 2004 , and they still are working for the lady...
Course we bought new digital Kenmores that year , and they were replaced with-in two years..after 3 circuit board failures.

Went to Badcock, and bought the on sale non-digital Maytag units , even got one year same as cash NO interest deal... 
These have been fine , ' cept service call for faulty switch on the washer under warranty...
