I stopped by the thrift store today. I got a new 69/70 parking light lens for a buck and a cutting board for a buck.

I have a nice cutting board. Too nice. I don't like using it because I don't want to hack it up. I've been using a little cheap plastic one. This one is a lot bigger and it was only a buck so bust out the sharp knives and hack away.

It looks a little stained in the pic but that is because I just washed it. It wasn't quite dry.

Not bad. 2 bucks for both.

What the heck kind of thrift store carries lenses for our trucks?

They have anything and everything in this place. That's why I go there. You never know what you'll find. Except a 10mm socket. You won't find one of those.

this was funny to read because I do the same thing. I made a counter top extension, open underneath, to place my microwave on to free up counter space. Then I decided I could build a rack under that counter top to store the wooden cutting board, rather than leave on counter as it had been. now that I have a nice place for it I tend to grab the cheesy plastic cutting board I never ever used before

It's ironic that when you get something really nice then you don't want to use it.

It's like when I had my 81 Corvette. It was perfect. 11,000 miles and I almost never drove it. It sat in the garage and I banged around in a really beat up 1966 Plymouth Belvedere that I bought for $250 with about a million miles on it. People thought that I was nuts.

I remember running into this old neighbor of mine in the Belvedere. He was a cranky old guy.
I said Hello and he said. "Why in the hell are you driving that old POS around? Get a job.

Here's something that you don't see everyday. A USPS package that's not all smashed up!

One little ding. no biggie.

**Steeveedee** · 08-12-2022, 04:27 PM

What's in it, a pillow?

That box looks far, far better than the one I received a couple days ago..... because I didn't actually receive it. A local PO employee placed it in a parcel locker, then put the key to the locker in someone else's PO box. We're hoping whoever got my package will bring it back to the PO, but nothing yet. While we wait, I have started the claim process.

My pups playing with their new toy... My ATM card.

My ATM card was really beat up so I ordered a new one. The bank assured me that the old one would still work. It didn't. It was declined when I tried to use it. 6 to 8 days to get the new one. Thanks B of A.

At least the dogs got a new toy.

6 to 8 days? I get a new one in 15 minutes at my credit union branch . Walk in show ID and return old card if it's still in my possession (last one I lost) .

Paul lives in the back of beyond; kind of like Simi Valley, but newer. The Pony Express still operates out there.

No B of A up here. I'd have to go to Bakersfield. No thanks. I'll wait. I've been to Bakersfield.

Yeah. I'm kind on the dark side of the moon. But I like it

**special-K** · 08-13-2022, 05:42 AM

Plus, the BOA is right up front with cutting back on branch hours or closing branches all together. You'd think they'd be right up on card replacement since without those their plan to close branches can't work

**FleetsidePaul** · 08-13-2022, 10:28 AM

They closed the BOA branch up here. Then it was just an ATM. Then one day that was gone.

There is a little hayseed credit union here. I have an account there but they're almost never open and the people that work there seem like they were dropped on their head as a child. And their website doesn't work. I've gone to the branch, I've called them. It just doesn't work.

Sounds familiar. Our regional bank closed their branch here in town but kept the ATM for awhile, and now it's gone. There's another bank here and I can use their ATM, but first I have to go to my bank's website and transfer money from the account I want to use to the account they want me to use. Then the other bank's ATM is free. All this to improve their customers' banking experience, haha!

Yeah right! They really care. They always tell you that over and over again when you're on hold for 45 minutes because they are experiencing high call volume.

BOA said they would email me a survey about my customer service experience. I told them that that wouldn't be a good idea.

I never got the survey.

Go paperless to save the environment. I tell them all the time what a load of crap that is. "You mean to save you money, don't you? If it was about saving trees there wouldn't be extra fliers in my bill and you wouldn't be mailing me your solicitations."

It's a lie on calls where they tell you the call is being recorded for training and quality control purposes. I ask, "If that's true then why isn't the quality improving?", and say, "I am being told the call is being recorded so that anything I say can be used in court, if things come to that". I hate being lied to

I just love the rear end on this one. (That's what he said)

My 50 Packard. You can tell that I took the picture because my dumb finger is in the shot.

Take the back seat out, you'd have a nice "sleeper"...

Yeah it's crazy how big it is for a 2 door coupe. They gave you a lot for your money back then. 72 years old and still kicking.

I doubt that they will be able to say that about me.

I'll be darned Paul, for some reason I thought you were a bit older then me. I made it past 72 last month.
