Sorry to hear about that. At this point is there anything to do to get those guys at the shop to start getting there act together? I mean don't they realize how much this delay is costing you? 

Nope, it's just a wait until it's finished situation.

So far the only thing the online ads have provided is a few spammers, most from Craig's List, no surprise there.

I broke down and called the office for a small advance even though I was trying to avoid doing so. One has to eat.

I took the bus, I know I said I wouldn't do that again, down to Publix. I'm glad I did. The Hormel Completes non-refrigerated microwave dinners were on sale buy-one-get-one-free. That's a good deal so I bought a good assortment of them to last me for several days.

They aren't bad really, but for an average guy it really takes two of them to make a decent meal. I now have enough chow to last me until Tuesday when, presumably, my truck will be ready to go again. Forgive me if I don't hold my breath on that.

LOL it figures. Now that I have taken the advance and gotten myself some groceries I received an offer for the reader. The fellow will be meeting me in the motel lobby after church tomorrow. Oh well, the extra cash may well come in handy.

edit: *sigh* the guy has already changed his mind and backed out it.

I got to talking to the owner of the motel bar while I was having a beer. She wanted an e-reader for her mother and she wound up buying the one I wanted to sell. Sometimes it pays to go to a bar and talk about such things.
