    Well, if you listen to the Magliozzi (sp?) Brothers on Car Talk, one of their favorite lines is, "You should never put any more money into a car than it's worth...and if that's true then my brother Tommy should never fill up the tank on his current car."

    I hear you. I'm just sitting on some land, roughing it, and doing a bit of real speculating. The land is worth a lot more than I paid for it a while back, the trailer is a trailer... If you have the skill to fix it, then fix it.

    * I stick to the IPC and nearest city codes on the plumbing for the sake of CMA.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Don't let my wife hear that. I still need to spend a bit with the Dr. till I get my back in shape and I KNOW she won't say I'm worth THAT much.
