I wouldn't say it makes me angry. However, it's certainly aggravating. It's pretty typical that the office closes early on the day before a holiday. Usually, whenever the company president leaves, the girls in the office follow about 15 minutes or so later. Sometimes one of them will call downstairs to let us know (the one who usually does that was out on vacation this week). Sometimes they'll just stick their head in the door and tell us on their way out. Most of the time, though, we discover it like we did Friday, by looking out at the parking lot and seeing it empty.
Sounds much like me in some ways. I currently have AAA Homeowners and Auto insurance annual policies and a couple of years ago I got it arranged so that they both renew at the same time. I did that because if you change insurance companies, you usually get a better deal if you buy both Homeowners and Auto insurance from the same company and at the same time. Of course Hartford, through AARP, sends me lots of sales pitches for their insurance. However, so far their requested premiums have always been more than I pay AAA.
be changing companies in about 3 monthy.
I wish there was a setting somewhere to get AARP from bombarding both my mailbox and email with junk. That's one of the reasons I dropped them the last time around. And why they'll probably be history after this first mandatory year. AAA was my insurance company when I first moved here, but after several 20% premium increases, I found better rates elsewhere. Oh, those were the days, when I could actually find an insurance company that would sell me a homeowner's policy. Come February, I suspect I'll be self insured...
RNG,
Drinking first cup of coffee. 63° with clear skies. Heading to 89° with mostly sunny skies. Got the 2 trees down and hauled to burn pile. Took a nap when done. Helped with ideas to decorate neighbors Deuce and Half for today's parade. First parade Sassy I will be in instead of being watchers. Should be a fun day.
Everyone have a Happy 4th of July.
Prayers and best wishes for everyone.
Good Morning All.

Yes daugen, I love that deep throated sound. Not worried about it being loud. Just the rumble. As for Ferraris, they usually go on fire anyway. No loss.... I don't like a radio bllaring either. I very rarely turn mine on. I used the 6 stacker disk player once in my Honda in 13 years just to see if it worked.sign of the times
more electric Mustang Mach E's were sold last month than regular Mustangs.
Will miss the sound of a Coyote winding out...
Guy nearby has a new GT convertible and he is powering his way through second gear going by my place.
Music to my ears...you can keep your whiny Ferraris, this is the bass drum of engines. Well actually a train engine is lower.
There are some close miked train videos of EMD powered engines laboring by and you can almost hear every slow motion thump
of the pistons, way down low, like percussion on your chest.
Who needs subwoofers going thumpa thumpa when you have an engine like that to listen to?...
with the two towns I live close to being where I drive 99 percent of the time, a plug in hybrid with 60 miles of range would be
fine for me. But to drive to visit family and friends, I need range. My Audi greets me with a range of 565 miles when I fill up.
I rarely want to drive that long any more in one day, but it would be nice to go two days without filling up. Realistically us old farts have to stop
and pee anyway so might as well get gas...
