And a Goodnight To All!

It's midnight thirty so I'm going to sign off here and try to get a bit of sleep. We have plans to get ready for wind and rain of the weekend with Tropical Storm/Hurricane Christabol moving to shore Sunday night or early Monday morning. I'm not sure how much rain we will get here in Mississippi, but Louisiana is forecasted for ten inches of rain! Hubby has to clean out his old truck. He has it sold. He was about fed up with the man that came last week and has been back two more days and stayed and stayed and talked and talked and drank beer after beer from his cooler in his car. Turned out a guy that owns a car lot, stopped while he was here the last time and bought the truck. They also knew each other and he warned my husband not to give him credit. The next morning he contacted my hubby and said he wants the truck. Wrecker will be here tomorrow afternoon to get it with the cash. It has two blown pistons and hubby replaced two before and does not want to go through that again. So this guy is getting a good deal and I get this one-ton flatbed out of the yard. Yay! Next he needs to do something with his old Volvo. I will be out working on the garden some more and who knows what else. I need to pick up refills at the drug store and maybe the post office to mail Ebay packages. Off to read for a bit and I'll check in with you all tomorrow.

Right on lingering. It did linger for several days over the tip of Mexico. Conditions are ripe for strengthening speed as it passes through the Gulf of Mexico.

@oahuwriter That is within the best practices guidelines. You should do well with it. I have heard nothing but good things about it but don't want any more aps on my phone.

@kareng One good thing about letgo.com is it's regional. Another is it's free. All good experiences so far...time to meet only daytime for me and all cash sales only.

Now that the flatbed is sold I hope he'll get that volvo sold as well. I'm heading outside to knock down some more dried weeds.

I always do that @kareng when it reaches the 100s I make sure to have plenty of water on hand not to mention I only stay outside for a maximum of 30 minutes if that.

@simone10 My cousin had a friend who had one fall out of tree at his house. He raised this one and it was a spoiled little guy!

@kareng That's what I wanted to do, but he wasn't doing well and I was afraid he would die. My ex brother in law raised a baby raccoon. He was a mess and into everything

@nela13 I haven't been this month. Last month they were only open for two weeks so not expecting anything for last month. Sales will go toward rent. Hoping it picks up this month.

Always good to get junk out of the yard. Hope the storm passes by.

I'm just hoping it does not gather a lot of speed, but conditions are perfect for that. It will probably end up a Cat 3 storm.

Good luck with getting rid of the Volvo and good news about the truck. Some people seem to collect vehicles.

It will be on the car lot this guy owns next week. As the job it needs won't take more than 2 days and a day for detailing. He will make a nice profit on it.

He was ripped off when he bought the Volvo. They did a quick temporary fix on it and then after he drives it for two weeks, it is out of commission. I am hoping he will find someone with mechanical knowledge to pick that one up.
