I have the best intentions about updating this blog often, I just never seem to do it. Here's the latest:
Craigslist: What can I say, it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. If you have the time to wait for what you want, you can find really great stuff for almost nothing. I am going to go look at a rowing machine in a few days that I found on the list. It was originally a pretty expensive model, but it is now a relic - just like I like them.
Craigslist does have its down side. You can accidentally find things you really don't need to have, like a 1972 Triumph Bonneville 750. The engine needs work, but it ran when it was parked fifteen years ago. I thought it was perfect! How cool would that be! An old bike that I can get for almost nothing, it needs work that I (and James) love to do, and it would be a really sweet bike once it gets rehabbed! I almost jumped on it until Karen reminded me that I actually need a spot to park my car. Maybe getting a motorcycle is a bad idea anyway, I might shoot my eye out. (If this makes no sense to you, it may be because it is a line from the movie "A Christmas Story".)
Next on the list of updates: I crashed my car into another car. I got cut off, and lane changed without looking. I bumped into a pickup truck in the next lane and it creased my car a little. There was no damage to the truck, but there was obvious damage to my poor civic. Oh well, life goes on. I can hardly justify getting my car fixed when it is eight years old and has almost 90K on it. Now my car has more character, or herpes, or something...

I've never actually purchased anything through Craigslist.org, have you?
I did, however, audition for a band that posted a need for a guitarist on craigslist. Man, what a disaster that was.....
I bought a broken treadmill, but it was advertised as broken. I am going to go look at an older rowing machine tomorrow afternoon. I have had good experiences so far, and the stuff I want is usually either old or already broken, so it is hard for me to be disappointed.
Did they want a power chord player, and not a guitar player?
