I have kerosene work heaters so it's very useful it's also very similar to No. 2 heating oil which my house runs on

Nice!! Missed cruising around this week, my son was home sick. Weekend of sales coming up though, usually means lots of left-overs sitting by the curb on Mon. :green:

Just found   a clarinet  in a leather covered case with velvet on the inside it appears to be rather old and is made of highly polished wood instead of plastic

You may have read earlier that I got a free leaf blower and put it up for sale.  I've been emailed by several people, one woman decided she wanted to come see it.  She emailed back later and said she had to cancel because she decided she wanted to buy a new one.  Another woman emailed me, set a time to come see it, and called half an hour late to say that she couldn't find my house.  I asked her where she was, told her where to go, and she promptly told me that I was wrong... as if I didn't know where my own fucking house is.  Eventually she followed my directions and made it here.  I showed her the blower and she said she would have to ask her husband...  she's been wanting one, but hasn't asked him about it yet.  She has to get permission from her husband to buy a fucking garden tool.  That's OK, because she obviously has bigger problems than leaves in the wrong place.

Tonight, I get an email about it again.  This is what it says:

"i am int in the blower"

That's it.  First of all, capitalization; learn it, love it, it's the right thing to do.  Second, punctuation is very important when communicating with people.  Third, "int" is not a common enough abbreviation for it's meaning to be implied, although, I am going to assume that you, "David", could not spell "interested" so you decided to abbreviate.  Asshole.  You do not get the blower.  I refuse to sell it to you.  Fuck off and find another one.

You see why I had to quit sales...

I'm taking down the ad and keeping the fucker.

Maybe she wanted the blower for "another" reason.   :eyebrows:

Found a nice victorian-looking garden arbor tonight curbside, had to take it apart to get it in the truck, glad I never go anywhere without tools. :roses:

It's going to look great in my garden.  :green:

Same here, the stuff is mounting up, 2 more vacuums added to the pile to fix or use for parts this morning, 4 patio chairs the neighbors scarfed up. Might catch up as soon as school's out and the grass slows down, between mine, mom's, & the neighbors (cancer) not alot of spare time lately for anything.

Sounds like you had a good week though.  :green:
