What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I got selected a few years ago and was picked as the jury foreman on a high profile murder case. It was front page of the paper every day. Pretty gruesome crime scene photos. Honestly, I didn't mind it at all. It's part of our civic duty so it is what it is. After a few hours of deliberating, we all agreed on a guilty verdict. Certainly will never forget it.

 

I generally hibernate in winter also.

This week has been one gigantic fire drill at work. Glad the weekend is almost here.

 

I've only ever actually had to go into the courthouse 2 times when on jury duty...the one time I was released, the second time I was selected for a shaken baby case...the dad ended up taking a plea deal and we were all really glad, as it would not have been an easy decision...seemed like he might have been guilty, but it wasn't clear cut. He was fairly young and seemed like he just had a really REALLY bad day and made a terrible split second decision...was a good kid from a good family, just lost control in the worst way for a moment...he said he just found the baby non responsive...I dunno, like I said, just glad the decision was taken from us.

 

Postcard material right there!

 

Now. You don't see these in this condition every day....

 

Used to have a tan one like that...it only had 1 (bench) rear seat, and was a 5 spd! Rare.
Here's one for ya

 

Yes, that is a rare bird.

I'd rather the van over that haha.

 

It’s a Chrysler BE Ware
At 70k miles replace radiator, pumps, pulleys, half shafts etc etc

Parents owned several mostly 5 speed 4 cyl 2.2

 

Now this....I'd take in a Newfoundland heartbeat.

 

Always wanted a 4wd Eagle. Not sure why, I hear they were terrible to work on.

 

I have a 2011 Dodge Caravan. Now has just 100,000 miles on it. I bought the "anything mechanical" lifetime warranty with it when I got it new. Engine is still very quiet. Runs like it did when I bought it. I use it to hall my wheelchair and scooter around. Very seldom drive out of town. I have one rust spot I'll need to get fixed in the spring.

Is it common not to have landscaping, paved driveways, or garages there? That place looks brand new. Nice size.

 

When we lived in Wausau WI, our elderly neighbors had a 4door wagon eagle. It was green with wood grain sides. We moved in 1982. There is an all brown one in town that's in great shape now though. 40 years later.

 

It's brand new, I do really like the outside, but the inside is a little too open and fancy for me. That front yard is definitely landscaped, but maybe not recently mowed. it does have a weird look to the growth. Definitely common to just have a gravel driveway in rural areas, though asphalt is by no means unheard of. I'm going to say I prefer gravel in a rural area, it won't ice up quite as easily in the wintertime, it's more environmentally friendly too, plus the cost to pave a driveway of any size....more than I have, that's for sure.

Same with excessive landscaping, i do like a property to look, not overrun and unkempt, but still somewhat earthy and natural. A balanced medium. Sure, a sensibly sized yard, enough to have a little useable outdoor space and give the house breathing room, but I'd rather have my own patch of forest than a giant field to constantly mow and deal with. Trees provide shelter and privacy, and can be nurtured and harvested into something useful when the time is right.

I'm actually kind of surprised it has no garage, considering the work that was put into it and the location. Definitely has become more and more popular with newer builds over time. But of course, lots of old houses around that haven't had one added, just don't have the space for one, what have you.

 

Does that driveway circle all the way around the house to get to the parking spot?

Too bad they couldn't have buried the elec service to the house. Or, at least run the lines across the road a bit higher.

I'd pass on that one if I was you TrinitySouth99
