Re: My Facetruck thread.
So now you guys are trying to get me in trouble with the GF! I was telling her about the Tillamook cheese, so she buys some for me to try. As she is unpacking the groceries she throws the Tillamook cheese at me and says "tell your buddies they have way to much money to be friends with you!"
So I am guessing that it is a little more expensive than the cheese we get standing in line for???

Re: My Facetruck thread.
A frugal woman. Good choice.
I'm hurt that she doesn't like your choice of friends.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
My mothers parents were poor as church mice. Never owned a piece of property or a car. They rented from the same family all their lives.
I remember going to get them and taking them up to the county shop and them standing in line for "commodities". My dad wouldn't go. He wasn't too proud of my maternal grandfather because of his lack of ambition. My grandfather was perfectly happy owning nothing. My life would be much simpler if I had inherited his gene.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Acually ,,the welfare Cheese my folks got back in the day was Tillamook Cheese as we were only about 100 miles from Tillamook ,,at that time is was a Government hand out ( I think it was a time when work was hard to find ,,as my dad was a hard working logger with his own logging business) ,,we would get cheese ,butter, dried milk, and other things.. we had to drive to a town some 18 miles from us to get it.. He was a proud man so my mother and I went and got it..
It was a big ol brick of cheese about 4 inches square by a foot long I think and very very good ,, like candy to me ..with some salt crackers.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Dang, LZ, I didn't think you were old enough to remember hard times.
First thing we know you will be telling old time stories like the rest of us.

I think this shows he's old enough to know what hard times are but too young to know they used to give good cheese. It's probably processed cheese food product these days.

Thanks Tim! But I am going to try and move up a couple notches to join you guys. If I sell this building for my asking price, I will buy my GF a block of cheese too!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I remember standing in line with grandma to get it. That was in the late 70’s. Yes it was processed, just a giant block of velveeta

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I sold my Harley's off to buy the old dealership building....probably the best thing I have done in many years! They always seem to get me in some type of trouble.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
A really nice body shop closed a couple years ago a half mile from my house. The owner had it built a few years ago and worked there until he retired. It still has the paint booth and frame machine in it. I have been over there twice with the realtor to look at it
I have a guy wanting to buy the property behind my house. I bush hog it twice a year and pay taxes on it. I'm thinking I could use the body shop.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
A very long time ago, I had an old timer tell me to buy all of the land I could afford to buy! They will never make any more...
I have not had the chance to buy much land around here. It is all farm ground and stays in the families. If it does go up for sale it goes for 10k an acre! So I buy the next best thing...houses that are foreclosed on. Buy them cheap and dump a ton of money and time in them to rent out. Sure is a lot of work!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Land is always a good investment, but some land may not appreciate much at all, some can drop in value due to changes of events, and during the depths of the great recession it either had no buyers or it was going for fire sale prices. Land is a long term investment that needs to be sold when the market is right. And these days the right time has become most important. Back before people became so fickle land was a good investment you could make out on any time you sold.

Tuesday Ms Grumpy and I went to look at 2 different lakefront properties each needing extensive home remodeling but they both had nice lake frontage and were priced way below market value , I'm talking $150,000.00 + below market . They looked like great investment properties online ,Well the first one looked good in the pictures 2 acres sitting in between 2 - $300,000.00 occupied homes but when we got there we quickly realized why someone had given up on the place it was basically a swamp with so many frogs croaking I didn't even walk up to the place ![]() The second place was sitting on a small bluff overlooking a beautiful lake front view again needing restoration but a serious lakefront home large stone fireplaces and a detached 3 car building , I walked around it for an hour before we left and we realized the only way into the property was past a long time residents "place" That I can only describe as 2 acres of pure trash and running loose pigs /dogs/cats and piles of trash strewn everywhere by the animals . I'm not talking a little here and there it was so bad you would need a week with a bobcat and 3-4 large demo trailers to clean it up smack dab right in the middle of $300,000.00 + lake homes ,It just ruined the whole deal it was so bad ... ![]() There is plenty of nice land for sale around here cheap and with all the influx of major trucking companies, automakers and tech manufactures and homes going up everywhere the place is booming . ![]() Last edited by Grumpy old man; 02-22-2018 at 08:09 AM. |
