We're getting some decent amount of rain which is greatly needed since everything is parched.

Good morning Pepperj. Thank you for the information on the bottle. I am kind of happy. I was looking at two different bottles, the Foley and a California fig. I compared the seams on them and told my friend that I thought the Foley was older and worth more. I am happy because it?s an indication that I have learned a little from you and Rusty.

Over the years I have read snippets of the books referenced on this link and read a fare bit of this link. Just the opening page of the link will give a person a base of what to look for, then one can go from there into more in-depth reading.

Morning crew.

Everyone...
Happy Labor Day.
I sometimes wonder about the world and the creations that walk on two feet.
Seems that common sense has really was passed in the gene pool when it comes to some, or maybe sometimes I tend to get overly critical of the these creatures.
I have a main door system for sale.
84"x54" in frame to fit 2x6 construction plus the build out thickness.
Not many inquiries and then 2 very interested parties
One was want to view it, want it delivered
The other will send a ETF of deposit and will pick up.
1st one has only a small car wants it delivered.
Sorry no delivery (40 miles away) Pick up only.
We will ask for viewing appt. when we get transportation sorted out. (Sensible response)
2nd person seems like a better/easier sale.
Till......
Oh if I give you a deposit and it doesn't work, can get it back? (You want to try to install it?)
How big is it?
Read the ad.
Will it fit in my Honda Civic?
Put it on the roof option.
I don't know if a 36" door will hit my stairway partition?
(Maybe get somebody to measure the space)
Sometimes I feel that there's something missing.
