So back 3-4 months ago Jan and I got new LR furniture for the Havasu house. The old sofa we put up on Craigslist for free, few hours later its gone from the curb, we pull the listing.

Fast forward to this past weekend. We were in Havasu and went to MadDogs Sunday evening for dinner. Afterwards we walk a few doors down to get a icecream from Scoops( :( they were closed). As we walk back up towards the car I look in a store window what do I see????   Yup our old LazyBoy sofa at the Salvation Army store :laugh  :rotflmao    $195  :eek

We nearly peed our shorts we laughed so hard, what are the chances to run across it like that, so random

I'm glad it hopefully will help someone to some degree. :drink  :good

Ain't life Grand? Treat it that way.
The Love of my Life, Jan.

So another  "what are the chances" episode happened to me.

As you know I have a buggy project in the works and had been searching for just the right car/chassis to start with. A few weeks back I thought I'd found it, an old beater 74 bug. I was all in with this car, it was perfect for what I have in mind....then checked with DMV to see what fees are due. My heart dropped, the fees were as much as the price for the car, and I also found out the registration renewal date was the same as  my birthdate. No wonder this car kept calling for me. Alas, the cost was to much to absorb and my search continued.
Not long after I found another car that would be perfect for the task at hand, but again the registration was out and well overdue. As I was checking the DMV site for the fees my thoughts were simply that this car wouldn't have the same significance to me. My eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing, the renewal date on this car is Jan's birthday. So damn it all, it had just as much significance and the cost was insignificant. That's the car I bought.

Told Jan now I will be riding her all over town, in public view. :love  :laugh
