The Good Banter Thread

[sissy]

I have all the payment receipts and a copy of the papers that are signed by all parties on the payments and the fact that it is interest free loan and even the year it is to be paid off minus the moneys put out for the closing as we did not know how much they would be at the time and gave Mike a copy so hope thats all i need.It is also on the title papers

Good going Sissy, love bargains!

 

[sissy]

like it when it's cold and not many people show up and all they were interested in was store fixtures and all the box fans and shelves .They did not even look at the stuff i was looking at .She started with one box no bids and she keeps adding boxes until she gets a bid and i was the only bidder, men were standing over in the corner of the store at the stuff they were going to bid on .Not one of them was interested in what i wanted ,lucky me .

Ha Ha red sky at night................guess what.................we are getting snow flurries right now.......................that's my idea tho of a nice day!

Good grab sissy and all for just $10.!

 

[sissy]

no one to bid and I like those sales ,they have to get rid of it so they have to take what they get .My truck was stuffed full no room for anything else ,back seat was loaded passengers seat was full and back of truck even with the bed extender was full .Not even sure what all I bought yet.Too cold out and don't feel like getting lawn mower with cart out to take the stuff down to the basement .I just brought some of the stuff in the house .It was a small store closing .Yeh I see quite a few are getting snow

Wow, way to go, Sissy! Sounds like your day tomorrow will be filled with unloading your truck and seeing what all you bought! Hope you have plenty of extra space to store it all while you go through it. What a gold mine you fell into, at least I hope there are lots of good things, but from what you listed, sounds like you have lots! Where I'm from, people buy boxes of stuff, and if there is something they don't want, they take it out of the box and leave it on the wagon. They are supposed to take it all, but they don't. There are others that watch and notice the discarded stuff, and take it themselves, so usually not much left, but sometimes LOTS of junk gets left. Why do people put absolute junk on a sale anyhow? I'm talking about empty bottles of insecticides, and things like that. ABsolutely no use for them at all, so why not just throw it away? Geesh.

 

[sissy]

What I don't want I give to a local church ,I know the pastor and they run a boys home and what they can't use they have a flea market to have money for the boys home .They can use the help and the money .I gave them 3 Tv's I had when I got my LED tv 's .As soon as it warms up today I will get the lawnmower and cart and see whats there and what I want I'll take out and wht I don't want I will leave in the truck to take over there tomorrow .Here if you buy it you have to take it away and the auctioneers usually make sure you take it .This was some family owned store and it was all new stuff .I decided to not stay until the end as there was nothing else I saw I wanted .

Great for you Sissy, helping them out.

Have to ask a question on this new smart pump I bought .It says it uses 1 amp of power is that possible with 3600 gph I bought the extenended waraanty which gives me 3 years and that was 10 dollars .The one I bought the package was damaged and I thought the gph was 2900 but now think it is more and not sure ,I cannot read the numbers and the pump has no labels on it .It does say it will handle debres up to one inch And takes a 1and a half in hose I was on the lowes sight to check out the energy use and sizes of pump s they sell . thanks addy I try to help where I can

 

[addy1]

My sequence pump uses around 1.4 amps at 4200 gph, so that is possible sissy, max current.
