Dear Bank of America......

You recently declined me credit because of my former spouse's actions in 1995. I recounted those events and you still declined me credit. My FICO score is currently 761. That is better than most, even after an ugly divorce.

You can do as you wich and since the internet is a free place to tell the world the truth, I can tell anyone and everyone that your company SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can "Lick my nutsack" and since my blind mother currently banks with you Morons, I will drive her to Regions bank after the holidays so she can move her money out of your bank. If you really wanted to deny credit to someone, you should go after my deadbeat ex-wife, you apparently would rather hold me accountable for her bad debts after over 13 years of divorce.

The nice thing about the internet and blogging is that I tell the entire world that you SUCK and there is nothing you can do to stop me.

The day Bank of America goes under will be a good day. Your company BLOWS.

I need "Some Beach"

It is officially winter in the midwest. I just got off the highway after spending hours in traffic jams due to ice on the roads. Five hours to go 50 miles and I need "Some Beach".....or may not....maybe just warmer than 19 with ice would work.

Mustang Killer

Yeah, I am a speed freak and I spanked another "lame" stock Mustang GT today. I put my snow tires on yesterday so my 300C looks like a normal 300, but the "kid" in the Mustang got a NASTY surprise from this car. It has a 5.7 Hemi with a "Cold air" induction system and an exhuast system that will fool most takers. HA HA to lame 'Stangs'

Snow shoes:




SRT Tires:




Cold Air system:



Warning that this is a rather "NASTY" car:



Pipes that are hard to see but can be heard when the foot stomps on the gas:




This is one "BAD SRT" you really don't wanna mess with, the part I like is it doesn't look fast but you nail the gas and the HEMI just goes.

Innocent looking:



I know most reader have no clue what "SRT" means so here it is.....for Dodge/Crysler it means "Special Racing Team" and seeing this car go proves it, yet staying off the throttle nets 25-26 MPG on the road......




It works for me!!!!

GM is about to go "Under", I wonder why?

On my way home tonight, I passed a GMC Envoy, I would guess a 2007 or newer model with a burned out headlight. A car/truck less than two years old with a burnout light.

If I owned it, I would be really pissed. The word on the street is that General Motors is going down soon. I am guessing it might have something to do with the "quality" of product they produce. I have owned my share of GM built products and the one thing I always had problems with was electrical and lighting problems.

Back in the 70's when I was a mechanic that was one of the most common problems we saw with GM cars, lighting and electical issues, some 25 years later they still have the same issues. Some things never cahnge, or do they? Yeah, the company is almost out of business, I think people are sick of crappy cars.

Although my car was built in Cananda and sayes Chyrsler, it is 100% Mercedes desighned, I am proud to be a German. I just hope my lights don't burn out any time soon. Good luck GM.

Same stuff......different day

Ugh, more of the same. It is early in the day but it looks like another bad day on Wall Street.

Glad I am out, if you didn't bail when the market was good, hang on as it will improve it will just take time.

Holy ekkkkkkkkkkkkk the markets are going down!!!

The futures look bad. I bailed out when the Dow was around 13K, it is down to 8Kish and dropping like a rock.....the world markets are taking a bath. Wal-mart is blaming currucy conversions and Intel is taking a bath.

The markets all look bad but they will rebound eventually and when they do I will buy back my shares but until then I will sit on the sidelines.

I hate Bank of America

They did something so shocking that I closed my account and will never do business with them no matter what they change their name to next week.

Since this is a public blog I cannot share any details, but they know what they did and shame on them. I might even call the BBB and file a complaint.

So Bank of America, I hope you see this and know I am waving my middle finger at you morons.

For my "LADY"

This blog has evolved from one of grief to one of passion. I write about things I love (mostly) Jennifer, but also fast cars......financial news........my wonderful puppy (big sigh) Yes, Penny I love you even when you are a royal pain in the ass.

This post is for "My Lady"......Jennifer, who has brought joy and happiness to my life. I love you Sweetie!!!!!

Black Friday

This graph shows the last six month how the DOW has tracked. All the economic indicators were there as early as January and signs finally hit the markets like a freight train. I wish the news was better but it is not. In my opinion, panic selling is driving this downturn as people try to cut their losses when in reality their hitting the panic button will cost them more over time and the savvy investors will cherry pick the markets for bargains once this crisis passes. That is my plan anyway.

Today’s numbers…pretty bad. If these trends continue, we will be at post 9/11 numbers pretty quickly. The short sellers have been shut down, DUH, they were making fortunes on a falling market. I bailed from the stock market back when the DOW was around 13.5 AGAINST my planners advice, if you stayed in, my advice is "ride it out" if you can. It will come back eventually.
Where is the bottom? Nobody really knows but when it hits bottom, I will buy back what I had at a handsome discount and profit nicely. I hope you are all watching the markets daily, I am looking for another 1987!!!!! THAT was ugly, just watch your money please.
Please be careful, our economy is "iffy" at best…..I think it is going to get much before it gets better. Good luck.

Quick Silver!!!!!

Black Betty

Kiss my Glock

OK, I admit Ted is a little over the top, but at least he says what he thinks....and he has some really cools guns and he can shoot too. I guess I am twisted but I really like the guy, we are probably both on some "watch list", oh well, KISS MY GLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just one more reason I love Ted Nugent

He still rocks after all these years, and gets trashed for his beliefs.....Rock on
Ted!!!!

Some more awesome Ted......

Life is funky (not fair)

Yes life is not fair:

The love of my life will have been dead four years in a short time, September 14 to be exact. Carol died September 14, 2004. I will always miss her.

Four years later, I am engaged to be married!!! Her Ring is perfect, she picked it out and I must say WOW, it is stunning. In my wildest dreams, I never thought I would get married again, but I am.

We were planning for April or June of 09, but as time goes by I think it will be sooner, and much colder(BRRRRRRRRRRR) We shall see but either way, I will be happy. Jennifer makes me happy!!!

Song of the day

I love Toby Keith.....so here is the song of the day.

Maytag BLOWS

I will NEVER buy another Maytag appliance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were bouhgt out a few years ago but still they can piss in my boots. I have an electric range that has had a problem since "DAY ONE" and they refuse to fix it (they do say there is a problem with that model). BIG FUCKING DEAL Maytag. Suck my nut sack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your Company BLOWS........

They won't fix it so they can lick me.....that POS goes out with a HUGE sign (as I promished them) When my Maytag Dishwaher, and my Neptune Washer and Dryer die, piss up a rope.....my money will not got to your Company.

Maytag BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I KNOW why I am not a plumber!!!!!!!

I have not posted for a while for a number of reasons, mostly because half the time my Internet connection is either down or slower than "dial-up" (I hate my Internet provider). Anyway, beyond that issue, I have been too busy so I just have not been online much.

Earlier today, I was going to take my mother to the post office and some other stores she needed to stop at, no biggie. Then she asked "while you are here, could you look at my bathroom faucet? The cold water knob won't come on". "Sure, mom, No Problem". UGH, I figure I can put in a new water valve (an easy fix, right?) NOT. The valve is frozen, so I try to turn off the shut off valve so I can remove it.

That is when the fun began, the water shut off is also frozen. OK, SCREW IT. "Mom, where is your main water shut off? She doesn't have a clue. I find the main and turn off the water to her house, then I get the big pliers out to shut off the valve under the sink. SNAP, the effing valve breaks, OH SHIT!!!!! I explain that I need to replace both valves AND the faucet......off to the home center for parts.....

Now, with parts in hand I rip the whole thing apart and install new parts, BUT the sink is "kinda rusty", I put it back together but I just know this piece of SHIT is going to leak....sure enough it did. "Mom, your sink is rusted out and I can't fix it tonight, I will try to find you a new one, but it is late and I cannot fix it tonight".

Off I go to Home Depot for a new sink. I find one, buy it and tomorrow I will rip it all back apart, tear the rusty, leaky sink out and start over. She will have a nifty new sink, new faucet, new braided supply lines, new shut off valves, basically the whole mess will be brand new.

It will be fixed correctly BUT now I KNOW WHY I am not a plumber!!!!

Happy Trails,


Ron

For Mark and Carol

Music speaks to me, so I seem to post music videos on my blog. Lately, I have been thinking about lost loved ones.....mostly Carol but I have lost other loved ones as we all have. I know Jennifer thinks of Mark often and we both miss our spouses, so this song is for Carol and Mark, we will see you when God calls us to Heaven.



For other widow(er)s who listen to the words to this song, I hope it brings you comfort and peace. I always liked this song even before I "knew" death.
