Good! That other guy sounded like he didn't have a clue how those meds would react with what meds you were already taking. :cuss2:

A belated thank you, @Jimi, for your post we quoted above. Our fuel system in our Welsh-German bastard of a Ford **** the bed. While it sat waiting for a tow truck, four teens and one adult tried to steal it, and had our Garmin sitting on the roof as they tried to start it.

The tow truck driver waited in the distance, calling the folks that 'protect and serve.'

The cops arrived, lights and siren WIDE OPEN.

The thieves scattered like NYC roaches when you turn the room light on. :cuss2:

So much for catching them.

The car sits, awaiting a mechanic Saturday morning, 9 AM. We had groceries delivered, yesterday (5 July); we ordered them online on the Fourth of July, and we made sure our grocery discount card was included in our homeshop profile. So, we paid for discounted groceries, a $10.95 fee for truck delivery, plus tip.

Damn it, we LOVE being back in civilization.

Here's our new Reuleaux RX200s. The 's' must denote the word 'senior,' as the display is quite large.

The 'Jitterbug' version of box mods :tantrum:.... it's lighter, better made, and slightly smaller than its predecessor.

Here's some shots of our new furniture; the loveseat alone has two AC power sources, and eight USB ports - not to mention a mini-fridge.

More stuff... sofa coming this week... I've got to convert these HD gifs to jpeg, to post the other pics.

Love yuz :wave:...

LW & Liz :hug:

Well, tonight's the twelfth... of July... our car is still down and out, in The Rockies.

My new sponsor lent us his Gen 3 Vortec-powered Chevy pickup.

The last of the 350 engines, for now (5.7 L); yet, it has low miles, a cab and a half - and, man - it can scoot; though, I must say the 5.3 L (327 - historically, it was easily Chevy's best small block, imho; great revs, and who cannot forget the fuel-injected 327 that was a one-off in the new '63 1/2 Corvette Sting Ray body style) is a sweet replacement, and return to GM's engine lineup.

Liz and I finally got our sofa:

The two outside reclining seats go back all of the way flat, just like the loveseat. Note the new end tables, and coffee table - Ye Olde Fabled Trunk (arrgh, matey) - yet, the more I look at its design - it looks more like the proverbial frustrated author's trunk.

Tomorrow - we're going to see a fellow with the last name of a famous '60s-'70s actor (McClure), who will diagnose our Ford's problem (i.e., either an anti-theft reset, as the tow truck driver claimed to see one adult, and four teens scatter away from our car when he arrived, our Garmin on top of the roof, driver's side).

Or, it jumped timing. Since Firestone was the outfit that replaced our timing belt - they WILL be liable.

Bastards.

I have a hinky feeling about the tow truck driver's story; as they used to say, back in the day:

"If you can't dazzle 'em with details - baffle 'em with bull****!"

Liz tipped him well. (sigh.)

Liz and I miss you guys. More unpacking, pulling of weeds, spraying of Round Up...

A new neighbor moved in next door. A late-Vietnam vet (he became Regular Army, 3rd Cav in 1974), he stuck it out, and retired a First Sergeant after serving during Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. The VA dropped the ball on this unfortunate soul, as he lost many M1 Abrams tanks to uncontrolled friendly fire.

So, he self-medicates with alcohol, and the legal controlled substance in Colorado.

We can't hang out together - but, we pray for him. He's such a nice guy. I hope he finds a better lifepath, along with Peace and Serenity.

Liz and I love all of you here at '@Whiskey's West,' and we'll try to do better in thread participation.

Still, we're blown away by our new home, furniture, and each other.

Without Liz, I'd be a broken soul. We love all of you - you know who you are. :wave:

LW & Liz :hug:
