[Rob]

That will cost you some duty.

 

[gene french]

I don’t foresee trying that ever.

got to be some kind of a joke/scam...
it was my drink of choice at one time...
in late 90s it was about 50 bucks a 5th...
it was really smooth....
dont see much bourbon here...mostly scotch...
i just about dont drink any more..
i dont drink any less either .

 

[gene french]

i googled it...seems its a collectors item now .
around a grand...i cant believe .... me and my best friend killed two bottles a week ..after work in the computer shop...lol
i still think about those 1 dollar spark plugs...
i need to get out more...

 

[gene french]

well, i am now the proud owner of two more phase linear 400s....
a 4 fin parts machine....and an 8 fin operational one....
or i just got screwed....
LOLOLOL
rob treated me very fairly....i think we are both happy....
an old judge buddy of mine used to say....(the guy that i shared the 13 year old charter with)...
as in divorce court and sales contracts....
if both parties sting a little it is the right decision....
he said if one walks away laughing and the other crying...
he made the wrong decision...
lol
what a philosophy....
i want to thank all here....who have been so kind and encouraging ....
this is a very nice group....i am honored to be accepted...
guess i need another dcp....
good night

Thank you to Joe for bringing Gene and I together. At first Joe couldn't find my post. I guess maybe it was so old that it was way down on the for sale list.

But all is good and amps will be shipped today Gene. Thank you again.

no doubt they will....you are surely a wonderful grandparent....

here in costa rica...it is law...the kids must support parents in old age if necessary....
but, not many sue their kids....they dont have to....so much respect for the elderly here....family is big time ....maria has 11 brothers and sisters...her mother is 96....and you would not believe how they take care of that woman....i got a picture of her at 85 years old when one daughter took her to see the egyptian pyramids....i swear....that old woman is on a camel....lol
one can see the pyramids in the distance....and these are NOT rich people....they just huddle together for things they need/want!!!!

i hate the rubber glove thingy....
that means one is either being frisked by the police....
or
preparing for a prostrate exam....
i have experienced both....
and i found neither one exceptionally pleasant...

take care....
i am about to p** on myself , waiting for all my stuff....
i love stuff....

i told that old lady i was so jealous....i really want to see the pyramids before i kick off....i asked her if they were big....
to which she replied yep....bigger than you imagined.....and i asked her if she went inside....now the woman at 85 on a camel said no....
i asked why not...you spent over 24 hours on an airplane to get there and back...and you did not go inside the pyramids....
to which she said....
no....its dark in there....
lol

Out back having a beer...

 

[ABebar]

I have a bottle of Pappy's for special occasions, but my go-to is Russell's Reserve 10 year. It's delicious and can usually be found for around $30. Small batch Four Roses is a good sipper too.

 

[gene french]

the proverbial check is in the mail....
thanks rob...
done is done...

I will check that out Adam...thx

 

[gene french]

well, looks like the solder, flux, and georges care package all made it through customs....and i did not get arrested....nor have my stuff confiscated!!!!
joes stuff shows by tracking to be delivered to miami...but not yet in the system....
i hope...of course they would lose the most expensive one....lol

 

[VSAT88]

when the packages get it in miami....it is opened and photoed...i also provide an invoice to establish value for taxes and damages if necessary
8 am sure for security (no bombs) and no drugs...and classify it...it is also for the purpose of identifying contents with address ( they photo package too) in case something is damaged or lost...
then it is scheduled on airline...not much time in miami...off to c.r. and into my lovin arms!!!
lol

Nothing in the world like freedom right?

 

[gene french]

Nothing in the world like freedom right?

its not about that...if a package is damaged or lost...it helps identify...and its harder for employees to steal after it is photoed and cataloged...it all works out...i dont feel violated...i just want my stuff and they want to feed their family!!!
