Probably safe to say he won't be getting that license renewal...

I guess he was confused by the sign that said drive through service.
"I know this looks bad, but my eyesight is 20/20 and I aced the written part of the exam back in '64. So, where do I go to get my picture taken?"
I just had a contractor in my office complaining because the city building inspector told him the windows he replaced for his customer don't meet egress (escape) requirements. He actually said to me, "Is it really my responsibility to know that?" SMH. JFC.
I have residential code books in my office, and I have contractors coming in here all the time asking me questions about what they need to do in order to conform to building codes on things like stairways, deck loads and construction, insulating and energy efficiency, etc. And it seems to me like some guy who decided to become a brain surgeon and just thought "oh the hell with it, who needs all that expensive medical school crap" and bought a scalpel and started cutting on folks.
@ImJustKCClone, this retirement thing is looking better every day. Maybe a cabin up North with a woodburning stove.....I can hunt and fish and grow vegetables....just need a radio to listen to my Cyclones........

So the price was $26,626 and they are trying to lure you in with $26,118?
That happens from time to time. I think it's because they think they have their foot on the brake, but actually have it on the gas. The car isn't stopping, so they keep pushing harder and harder on their "brake." And right through the building they go.
Or you put it in drive, space out a bit, and hit the gas thinking you put it in reverse.
We've had an amazing number of people asking us if we are moving. Errr, what? We LOVE Iowa. Our friends are here, our family is scattered from Delaware to Seattle to Texas. Where would we go?
I've started telling people that we're considering a cabin for seasonal getaways. They say, Texas? Arizona? Florida? And I say no, Northern Saskatchewan. Maybe even the Yukon. Summers aren't nearly so hot up there.
Give your best offer on the 29th and see if they need the commission for Christmas gifts.

You might be crazy. I can respect that.
Remodeling Man did not bite off more than he can chew with this move the big cold air return project. Close though, it is turning into a crocodile size bite. Tearing into the 1960 works, the 1990's remodel and the 2002 remodel. Woof.
Back to work, coffee break is over.

If they put it on CarGuru's the same time they listed it they have been sitting on it for 92 days.
Gotta online link? That would be interesting.
I've never coached, but I have always been an enthusiastic supporter. For the first few meets, I had to sit next to a retired coach that very kindly explained what all the calls & moves were. I didn't know a takedown from a reversal.
Two seasons ago, I had a crash course in wrestling from the husband when we went to the...crap...whatever round it is two before state...at Albia. So, I had fairly good wrestling to learn from. Then, I had to show up solo at Knoxville and report who qualified for state from our area schools. I didn't get the chance last season for a full review again, but got one on paper. Then, reported from Fairfield. State can be difficult when you're supposed to be watching mat 4, but mat 6 is a LOT more exciting.
Nevada had a road game at a small christian school in DM. The game was held at the activities center at the formerly AIB now EIU. There was so many Hawkeye logos in that gym that my skin was crawling. Need to go to the Dr. tomorrow get Hawkeye Hepatitis shots.
Channel flipped into the 2nd half of the Hawk games. Hawks getting run by Virginia Tech. Hope they suck this bad next week.
The Mechanic: Resurrection didn't get good reviews but the opening scene restaurant brawl was classic Frank. Watching on HBO. Hell how bad can it get, it's got Michelle Yeoh in it.
Told lineups, this will take work to make it interesting. 3 starters graduated, 1 kicked off the team, 1 injured, and one quit. Down 6 starters from last year and weights are off. Of those 6, they included 5 of our top 6 wrestlers.
Just to show how weak their talent pool is, their basketball color guy is blind ,literally blind. White cane and all.
Good thing i double checked there, auto correct put black in for blind. That would have been a doozy.
