    It's actually an envision, not an encore. So it's bigger. I've got a couple people interested in it, there's no super rush at the moment. She wants to sell it though still. The ungrateful kids, Dad's VA death inheritance ( whatever it's called) came through and these brats will be appeased.

    The car will stay a few weeks, unless it sells before that. One of my employees needs a car after hers was totaled. She was looking at encores, and was interested when I mentioned I have a friend that wants to sell one, then it only got better when we found out it was an envision vs an encore.

    Cleaning garage slowly. Time to break from this for a bit and get some exercise moving some more firewood into the basement wood bin.

    Birthday dinner party tonight for our three youngest. 2 will be 21, and the youngest 18 in a few days. Tonight is the night we could all get together.

    Sergi’s Pizza and Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake for dessert. :drool:

    Thank you. I just want her to not be taken advantage of. Her husband was a friend to my dad. They both met through the ALS society. Frank looked after me like a son the last 9 years of his life. 7 of those I didn't have a dad, so since Frank is gone, I'll do what I can to help.

    This store was in business for more than 130 years and seemingly carried almost literally everything you could need, from building materials to food and clothing. Real old time general store. The old guy passed away, and his son probably couldn't manage a lemonade stand. Lost 2 businesses and all that remains are the buildings, and this old truck which sits around missing parts and holding a load of what appears to be junk. A real shame, if she could be restored she'd be an interesting remnant of days gone by.

    Quite a decent house in Botwood for $77,500. Looks pretty solid and hopefully some cosmetic upgrades would work wonders for not too much more.

    Get on their email list, they send a list of specials at least once a week, sometimes more...the best deals are often limited quantities and sell out fast.

    Similar day here. Split wood for half a day and cleaned out the barn to roll in the '74 K10 for sheet metal repair.
    That's great you got everyone together for the birthday celebration. It won't be long and it will be a lot harder to get everyone together. The Dairy Queen Ice Cream cake sounds so good! Haven't had one of those in years!
