Finally! I hope you're around Tuesday night so we can finally talk! That's the first chance I'll get for the HO.
Oh, well. Off to work.
Advice / Seriously ..
I spent Sunday as I usually do in the Spring / Summer / Fall working in the yard (and paying for it on Monday) .. at any rate, it gives me some exercise, I get some Vitamin D Sun, and I generally have a chance to talk to my neighbors, etc ..
At any rate, Herb (that was actually his name), a neighbor that I had been friends with for over 20 years, passed away a couple weeks back .. stroke / nursing home / dead .. (that was even though he had a Do Not Resuscitate order, and technically died at the hospital, which the hospital ignored, that's another story) .. at any rate ..
Sunday, I see a neighbor wheeling Herbs riding lawn mower over to his house .. this neighbor is not the greatest guy on the Planet .. we're talking a $4000 John Deere here .. not all that old .. I'm wondering, "What's up with that .. ??" .. blew it off, kept working .. an hour later, the same neighbor is carting Herb's gun collection over to his house .. I'm now beginning to really wonder what's up ..
Nancy, Herb's wife, I also know pretty well, so later in the evening, I walk over and knock on the door and have a little sit down with her and gently inquire about the mower and the collection .. she tells me the dude came over and asked if there was any of Herb's stuff she was going to get rid of (Herb's barely cold) ..
Nancy tells me she told the dude she had no use for the mower since she was not going to use it, the dude tells her it's worth about $100 bucks, she believes him and sells it .. he comes back and asks if there is anything else, Nancy shows him the gun collection and he tells her it's worth maybe $300 .. she says OK, and sells it .. we're talking 3 Brownings, a couple Remingtons and an Ithaca that I had actually helped Herb select ..
Now, Nancy can do with Herb's stuff what she wants, it's none of my business .. but I have been so steamed since last night .. I feel like knocking on the dudes door this evening and giving him a big piece of my mind .. and I can probably stop the gun collection sale if I really wanted to press the issue since I have a few contacts and the law here does put a degree of restriction on private sales ..
Oh, and Nancy is 85 and not in the best of health ..
What to do .. ??

Oh man Willy - that's the pits ... taking advantage of the widow. I'd sure be tempted to have a talk w/ that bloke too. He could've still gotten a great deal at a fair price without cheating her. Dang it ... some people are just downright not good people.
By 10 PM last night, I was so ...... I was ready to strap on the 9 and pound on his door .. the guy's about 20 years younger than me, but not in that great a shape .. decided that was probably not a good idea ..
Ok. I'm confooozed. We want pitcher o' the turntables or Mike hangin?
Ok ... Ok ... Ok, already ... just let me finish this chapter of the book first.
Does she have any kids or other relatives? Sounds like she is vulnerable to exploitation, maybe power of attorney?
As for the law on the guns, good idea.
Couple of daughters, stayed a few days after the funeral, went back to out of state home .. Nancy is not stupid nor suffering any dementia that I know of, but she's always been a, er, girly girl woman .. Herb handled the money, Nancy paid no attention, did not care .. no slam on her, our generation in many cases were one earner families with the wife at home ..
Willie..call the police!!!!!!!
I can't even say on here what that person is, i'd be banned for sure....
His skanky ... needs to go to jail!
Maybe explain to her that what and how that low-life went about it was illegal so she wouldn't think that you were butting in?
It's tuff when your hubby shelters you from so many things...
um...I wouldn't know about that of course. Really, i'm serious.
Hope he hasn't sold them already on the black market
