Used to have a huge one with a band, tons of great food and an open bar. In addition to all the employees, lots of friends of the owners would get invited. Every year it would get bigger and bigger and outsiders crashing it for all the free food and booze. Had to get local law to work it to keep out...
I know someone in the military with top secret clearance, and for some things, ultra clearance. He has worked at area 51 and says there are some amazing things there. He said he can't say what is there, but he can say what is [u]not[/u] there, and there are no alien spacecraft there....

My wife used to ask me how much weight I thought she should lose (obvious trap). My reply was always "how much do you want to weigh", knowing my next question, if she answered, would be "how much do you weigh now?" She never answered....

re: Battery BS out of control

Wait until you need to buy a new battery because the old one died. The 7.5 Amp hour battery in my Ego mower just died. Warranty is for 3 years. Naturally it's 3 months out of warranty. New one same size is $400. For $100 more I could buy the same lawnmower brand new. ...

re: The value of an Open House?

Posted by Raleigh Tiger on 3/3/23 at 4:09 pm
Two years ago when I sold my house in Raleigh, I had an open house on one Saturday and half day Sunday. You'd have thought I was giving away money there were so many people. Each visit was alloted 15 minutes and then get out for the next group to view. Had 18 offers when we shut it down on Sunday. A...

That happened right in front of me. Guy was lucky. Dustin was trying to get off the jeep to kick that guy's arse, but his wife was holding him back....
I own a condo in Phoenix West II, and I usually only go on the beach for a couple of hours on the weeks when I'm there. It gets boring pretty quick. I also usually only go in the spring and winter to avoid the heat. April is the perfect time to go to avoid the massive crowds, and the temperature...
In Orange Beach right now at Phoenix West II. These condos cost 525k new 6 years ago. Today they go for 1.5 million and up. Condo fees are $1000 month. Values went up so the rental rates went up with them. Just eating out cost a fortune. Picked up a shrimp poboy from Doc's. $21 for just a poboy wit...

Just moved three weeks ago. Hired a moving company to pack everything and unload it. Best 9k I ever spent. Of course I moved half way across the country. ...
Live in Raleigh and put a “Coming Soon” sign out late Friday. Saturday had no look full ask offer. Sunday someone driving by saw me outside so stopped to talk. Offered 10k over list and we wouldn’t have to fix anything, not that there’s anything that needs fixing. Doesn’t actually go on the market u...

re: Anyone ceramic coat their car?

Posted by Raleigh Tiger on 12/12/20 at 12:53 pm
I washed with a high ph car wash to strip old wax, clay bar, polish with polisher to remove any scratches and then used Turtle Wax ceramic polish. One coat, wait 24 hours and then a second coat for maximum life. Did all three of my cars. They look fantastic. Washed for the second time over a week ag...

re: Favorite old commercials

Posted by Raleigh Tiger on 10/19/20 at 7:56 am
Talking old commercials. Last night the commercial "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" played on one of the major networks. That commercial was playing when I was a kid back in the early 70s....

Was just reading on CFN a review of Oklahoma and how they will fair this year. They have them ranked 5th over LSU at 6th, but here's what they had to say when talking about how they fair in the playoff: "it had the unfortunate luck of being on the business end of the epic 2019 LSU team that took...
Charlotte is nice but it's a big spread out city with traffic being an issue, but they are steady adding more lanes to the Interstates, so that is geting better. Raleigh is a great city, perfect size, easy to get around in and close proximity to RTP, but is gradually being taken over by yankees, ...
