I think he may already built the kitchen.

 :)


Then redo it!

This is about priorities!

BTW, Tex - Nice model of the New Hampshire State House.



Or is it the Mississippi Capitol dome?




Those are some big-ass espresso machines; the legislators must spend all day at the urinals?

It gets worse; they stuffed him with foam peanuts! It came in two crates; just from one of them I've recovered four bags of the foam thingies.

So Robert ... is this the one you sent payment for months ago but never received?

Did you send our boy Stubbie in there to collect the machine?

No, this is one I got off eBay a couple of weeks ago. I just need time, strength, and money, and I'll turn this into a show piece. I may use it or display it at home - or I have a tentative buyer who wants one like this as a show piece for his coffee shop. It all depends on what the coffee tastes like. I figure it'll be ready sometime after Xmas.

Did you get a good deal on it?

You don't think Robert ever pays too much, or even as much as something's worth, do you?

Remember, he can argue the balls off a brass billy goat.  No doubt he applies that skill to bargaining too.

Tex's secret to negotiating is, "NEVER fall in love with something until it's yours." And the secret to staying in love is, "Stop shopping once you've bought something."

I never give inanimate objects names. All I care about is the coffee it produces. If it's good, it stays.
