Did I tell you folks that our car received over 3000 euro worth of damage here a month ago? :cry: It was right in front of our bedroom parked in its usual spot and the neighbor woke us up on a Saturday and asked if we had seen the car recently and I said no whats wrong with our car.. went to look and it was all scratched on every section of the vehicle with a sharp item such as a screwdriver or key. Not one area had been left alone.. :x :x

The car was out of use for 2.5 weeks at the body shop to be entirely repainted.

The police took photos of it and made a report of it. Plus the idiot had left a cigarette butt on the drivers side roof. So they took that and got the Dna off it and the police are waiting for the dna test or results to come back.

Apparently it was done by a drug user which in our area is rare.

But so sad even though our insurance covered it all except for the deductible.
Sure makes a person angry though.

Don't you just want to take a sharp thingy to the culprit's body, so they can feel the pain thay have caused. I hope they catch him/her.

Met with my replacement last night and introduced him to the church - then gave him a tour of the church facilities, parsonage, and community - it's now official - I'm a short timer!

Well I bought a saw... :D

I ended up buying an Echo...

Researching the Husky I was thinking of.. I found what seemed to be problems with the chain oiling system... and having had some problems with my last one.. and being very happy with my Echo leaf blower.. and having worked with that particular dealer a bit before.. I went with them.

It then did get down to a left over 530.. vs the 600. The 600 is bigger and more powerful.. and they charged me $10.00 more... The Tim Taylor part of me could not resist... :o

Hey long time talk to...What are you going to do with your saltwater?

Don't you just want to take a sharp thingy to the culprit's body, so they can feel the pain thay have caused. I hope they catch him/her.


I emptied the saltwater tank and brought all our fishies and live rock to our friends place for keeping till we get settled in and I can start all over. I want to get that nemo tank by Red Sea that you and I talked about long ago.

I want to get a set up that fits nicely into a corner. Do you still have your saltwater tank?

It sure is nice to hear from you again. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
