Trying to pare down some of the stuff I don't need, not all of it, but at least some of it, I decided to get rid of the old speakers I had inheirited from my Dad. 60's Ampex speakers. Some were kind of cool looking, I tested 3 sets of them, one was kind of muddy sounding, one was missing a tweeter/midrange
and the smallest 2 ways actually sounded pretty good, so them I kept. I put the other 4 sets out on the curb this morning with a big
Free sign and an hour later they were all gone!
I was shocked. I thought I'd be hauling them back into the garage tonight. I guess the boom in vintage audio is real.

Had use of a F-350 superduty all week and now I'm hooked. 6.7 liter turbo diesel with 450hp and 860 torques makes for some fun times leaving stop lights. Women hide their children's eyes and grown men cast glances. I don't even sit down to pee anymore. Hell, I'm going to go for a drive now just to feel more hair sprout on my sack.

Here's the best for sale ad I've seen in a while:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =3&theater
1995 Geo Metro -- $995
Here she is! Truly a beauty, one-of-a-kind! Runs and drives great. I commute 30 miles daily with her. Plenty of rattles and noises to keep you company, but the radio works great. Just turn it up.
She gets 50 miles per gallon if you don't drive like a jerk, and fits 12 circus clowns comfortably
(circus clown sold separately)
Void where prohibited.
Cash is king and no trades, thanks. Price is $995 or best reasonable offer.
No lo-ballers/ no strokers/no holds/no assholes
I'll even throw in a full tank of gas
(a $14 value.)
I have anticipated a few commonly asked questions, and took the liberty to answer them here below:
Q. Year?
A. 1995
Q. Make/model?
A. Geo Metro
Q. Engine?
A. 1.0 liter 3-cylinder
Q. Horsepower?
A. You gotta be sh!ttin me.
Q. Quarter-mile time?
A. Just under a week.
Q. Tranny?
A. 5-speed manual
Q. Miles?
A. Just under 200k
Q. Options?
A. Wtf?!? Options? Seriously? It's a geo metro.
Q. Hitch?
A. Yes. It has a 2 inch ball hitch.
I'm not sure why.
I know, right? Just came with it when I bought it.
Q. Any problems?
A. Ya, I got 99 problems, and this car ain't one.
Q. Seriously though. Anything wrong with it?
A. Well hell yeah, there's something wrong with it!
It's at 1995 GEO EFFING METRO!
Too much to list.
Holy sh@t, if you want a perfect-problem-free car, add a zero or two and go to Billion.com! That's why it's listed at under a grand.
(anything wrong with it...smh).
Q. Why are you such an asshole?
A. All things are relative. You should meet my friends.
Q. What's your phone number, asshole?
A. (605) 553-3449

I'd buy from him but not that car. It's kind of getting that way, but humble doesn't have to be a POS even when it's new. And this car was.

My brother went from a '75 Fleetwood with a 500 ci V8 to the 3 banger brand new Metro. He drove it for10 yrs When it started to burn oil around 250K he gave it away. I drove it a couple of miles when it was new. A nice little car. He said it had a very narrow power band. just like a bike. My BIL had a used Tracker he commuted with for awhile. It had 4.88 gears and an old school 3 speed automatic. It was step up from the original Willys Cjs but not by much I would start at 500. for this example.

Pillsbury Crescent rolls. The "Butter Flake" variety sounded delicious. What could more delicious than a more buttery and flaky Crescent Roll, right?
Oh how wrong I was. Not worth it. Don't bother. Original variety from now on.

Poking at it with a long stick. Then grabbing my frosty 24oz beer mug and going the hell back inside, locking the door behind me.

What did it do when you poked it?
You should poke the snake with your snake. Stovepipe!
I feel like you should let your beer wear off then take the e12 for a run, maybe that snake will start making a noise similar to a zip tie wrapped around a driveshaft.

Today we found out the hard way that spreads like peanut butter fall under the same 3.6 ounce limit as liquids and gels when it comes to carrying them onto an airplane. Two of the extra-large (720 grams), and super cheap jars of Speculoos cookie butter we found in Den Haag today got snagged by security at Schipol, and summarily dumped in the trash. The good news is that he only grabbed two of the jars, and we were able to get through with the two others. Still not sure if he didn't see the other two, or if he just let them slide. Either way, I'm just taking that as a win.
BTW, anybody else think Speculoos cookie butter is pretty close to the most wonderful substance on the planet? A plain Digestive biscuit with a layer of Speculoos and a wafer of chocolate on top... Oh man...

I was standing at my favorite urinal last night at a church function. This one is at the far end away from prying eyes and had lots of boogers flicked against the wall. Well, they had the bathrooms painted and there they were. Freshly painted over.
