Year? CJ-6 Snohomish, WA $1600

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

No pics provided.

https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/pts/d/jeep-cj6-project-with-title/6550771354.html

“Jeep CJ6 roller frame with complete body, nothing else.
Not perfect but much better than most you’ll find, if you can find one at all.
Old roller tires and wheels.
Not a rusted out mess.
Serious buyers only (I can tell), all others will be ignored.
I’m not going to answer a million questions, if you’re interested in this project and know what a cj6 is, come and look at.

It’s been under cover since I’ve had it.
These are fairly rare and hard to find. Although I am open to reasonable offers, once you’re standing in front of it, I will not even listen to offers, trades, scams, shipping ideas, etc., simply put, if you’re not standing in front of it I don’t deal.

Cash, in person only. I don’t care who picks it up, but you have to be here to buy it.”

My Father Gave Birth To a Cow … No Updates Today

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

We drove to Western Washington last night to join Rob and Diana Stafford for dinner and then spend the next few days with my parents.

The Staffords took us to a new South American place in Spanaway that was excellent! By the time we finished and drove to my parents it was 9:30pm. Ann and I walked into the house to find my father was still awake. That was the first sign of trouble! Dad is usually in bed by 9pm and he’s a man of habit.

It turned out, Dad was very upset. No, upset doesn’t quite describe it. He was having a cow. Yes, a cow. I’m pretty sure I heard mooing!

You see, his watch, of the Timexy big-hand little-hand second-hand type, was running slow, too slow for his liking. And by God, if someone didn’t repair his watch then he was ‘ordering’ someone, anyone, to the store to get him a new one!! #myFatherHasLostHisFreakingMind #letsGetOuttaHere

You’d think he’d like a slower watch at age 84, as he could drag out his time on planet earth. But, no, his watch was too slow and he needed a new battery installed; mom had gotten the new one, she just couldn’t get it installed. This meant my mother was taking TOO long to replace the battery, by my father’s measure.

Of course, his attitude was just adding the frustrations felt by my mother over not being able to install the battery. I’m pretty sure she was ready to make a slow watch the least of his worries; he might no longer need a watch!

To calm the situation (after a big sigh from yours truly) I agreed to cast my readers aside for the evening in favor of bridging the divide between a man-who-needs-a-working-watch-to-go-to-bed and the woman-who-might-END-the-man-who-needs-a-working-watch-to-go-to-bed!

So, alas, there won’t be on post today. That’s the bad news.

The good news is I eventually fixed the watch and Dad shuffled off too bed as if nothing had happened ….

I have concluded that I picked a bad week to give up booze and hard drugs!!

Updates Sunday Morning

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

We enjoyed our night of camping at Oregon’s Cottonwood Canyon State Park so much that we are going to spend a second night there. We had the place to ourselves last night. The purposefully primitive camping sites (no power/water/sewer/cell) are spread out, so even if this place was full, it would be pleasant. Here’s one photo. I’ll report more on this Sunday morning.

Gone Camping

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

THURSDAY UPDATE II: Wednesday night we stayed at the Maryhill State Park, which is nestled next to the Columbia River. Unfortunately, it’s also next to a train track; and, across the river from a second train track and I-84; and at the bottom of a long hill down which semi-trucks travel using their air brakes all night. For a pretty spot kind of in the middle of nowhere it was noisy, way too noisy!!

So, we are heading to another campground, this one a primitive place in the middle of Oregon. There are no train tracks, no nearby highways, no power, and no cell service …. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT UPDATE: Good news. We have connectivity at our campground. We’ll be camping for a few days.

Now for a funny story.

We stopped to fill the motorhome with gas this afternoon. Next to the gas station was a McDonalds, so Ann walked over in her baggy camping clothes to get a little food.  As she walked away she laughed and shouted, “I bet these clothes make me look homeless!”

Her knee has been bothering her, so she slowly walked there, just adding to her “look”. On her return trip, she exited McDonalds, again slowly, then paused to let a vehicle leave the drive-thru. At that point, a woman driving slowly past Ann rolled down her window and attempted to give Ann a dollar bill, thinking Ann was homeless. Ann was befuddled. She looked at the woman and shook her head and said, “no thanks.” Puzzled, the woman shrugged, rolled up her window, and drove on….

I think my next book should be titled, Yikes! I Married a Homeless Woman!
