It came that way from the factory Mark.

Oh, I know! I just like the way they make em. I love duallies! We just don't see them here. Especially the double-cab LWB ones. You'd need two parking bays.

Read over the news this morning.......another ruined day.

Maybe an update on the little pepper youngsters could help my mood?

Otis even has a long face this morning.....he says we humans are depriving his kind from the thrill wiping us out.

I have developed a creamy pepper sauce for steaks that is very delicious......not too hot...just right to bring out all the flavor in a big juicy steak. Maybe those little baby peppers would like to contribute to my recipe?

Regards!

They're still in the fetal srage but growing.

Otis claims they are reproducing and you are holding out on him? Say it isn't so, that would be so disappointing, he has had so much trust in you?

Rupert · 07-18-2016, 10:56 AM

I tried calling the bicycle shop at Otis' insistence, but after 20-30 rings I got a recording that gave the hours and days open...but no one was there..or they didn't want to deal with Otis?
He now thinks a scoundrel confiscated the poor little pepper plants and crossed the border into Canada where he will sell them on the Black Market. I tried to tell him that maybe the owner was out to lunch...or asleep again...or just old and hard of hearing and missed the phone ringing? It held his wrath a little...for now.

If those little peppers show up on E-Bay.....all hell will break loose, I guarantee!

Rupert · 07-18-2016, 11:57 AM

It sure has slowed down over here lately...and I'm trying so hard to be in a good mood

.......Who would I see to bring some naked girls in here to liven things up a little...or a lot?

I know it is a family site...but we could teach anatomy to the kiddies like Bert...he could learn a lot......real fast!

Things like
"Bert...nope, that ain't bacon but it is a ton better....and non-fattening!"

I'm closed Mondays. I figure I work so hard that I get 6 days work done Tuesday through Saturday.

Can I bank with you? Poor old plumbers were on call 24/7 - 365.

We never got a break and when our truck was in the shop we had to walk to our jobsite..... uphill both ways.....but we did get to charge by the footstep, not the mile.

So you are not available to answer Otis' inquiries until tomorrow? How convenient!

It's the heat.

I found 121 listings on eBay for live hot pepper plants, didn't sort through them though.

Here, the minimum parking bay size, per New Zealand Standard 4404, is 6m x 2.3m for a parallel park and 5.4m x 2.4m for an angled park. So 17'8" x 8', roughly. So, you'll need two parking bays!
