I saw the largest handwritten bill I've ever seen today. Handwritten, a single sheet, for ~$67K. From a local franchise of a national drain cleaning company for substantial plumbing work in the county jail, but on the same single sheet you or I would get if they came to snake out a plugged drain at our house. Just 3 more zeros. I'm not even saying it was overpriced, though I'm sure they made money, just the informality of it.
In a way I like it, it was a bid price job, and who says you need formality to do work and get paid. People billed things before .pdf's existed.

Got pulled over today. That's two weeks in a row with police involvement on my account. Once more and I'll be good for the next five years.

He must have been FaceBooking when I cruised into his radar doing 55+ in a 40,
because he pulled the car about 100 yards behind me over.

Another squirrel committed suicide this morning while playing on the transformer out back. I really need to get a generator.

Legally Dead, but not.
Donald Eugene Miller, Jr., 61, is dead.
At least, that is what a Hancock County judge told the Fostoria, Ohio, man even though Miller was right there in court, speaking and breathing.
“We’ve got the obvious here,” said Probate Court Judge Allan Davis. “A man sitting in the courtroom, he appears to be in good health.” But the judge went on to tell Miller that because he was ruled legally dead in 1994, he missed the deadline for coming back to life, at least in legal terms, by 16 years.

Double-U Tee Eff. Seriously. It took a lot of discipline to watch the whole thing.

I've heard a few foxes in my day, and none of them sounded anything like that.

Saw a bike cop going around a fire truck with lights and sirens yesterday, nothing too odd there, probably going to the same place. Except as he went around and hit second he popped a wheelie.
Not full up nor did he ride it out, but he caught 10-12" of air. Never seen a cop pop a wheelie before.

what is it with Ferrari transmissions? I just drove a 365GTC and a 412i. Both had 5-speed manual transmissions that are possibly the worst I have ever driven. A double clutch big rig 16 speed is easier to shift.
Both cars went up on a lift and whats even worse, the transmissions are physically larger than the V12 engines. When you look inside its mostly air space -- the gears and shafts look like they belong in an industrial revolution manufacturing shop. This may have been state of art for a 5-speed in 1950 but how are they still used in 1969 and 1986 virtually unchanged? The transmissions Ford and Chevy put behind big block V8s of the era tiny by comparison.
I can see why Enzo drove an automatic transmission 412 as his personal car. i though it was the other Italian sports car maker who started with tractors.
the 4-cam V12 is something else entirely.

8 - 650cc Bosch Injectors
Just putting it out there. Has a nice sound to it. And that's just part of the USED SC kit that's for sale. All for only $10,000. That's $40 per hp.
I should really stay away from the M5Board classifieds.

A guy I work with has a brother who is big into pigeon racing. It's insane how much breeders will pay for a winning racer when it's past its prime. He showed me one that sold for $150,000 once; the thing probably never left the loft after that. Understandable when a hungry hawk could take out that investment right quick.
