Was heinous if your anywhere near Santa Maria ?

Santa Maria sounds like one of those southern Cali places. I'm in the good half of the state- northern Cali.

Unfortunately I'm in the state Capitol thru no fault of my own...

12 hours after the power outage, it took 3 restarts of my roku to get it working. Once I got the roku working, my computer (which was working) decided to go south.

I've been meaning to ask you ... Bow, Wa ... are you living next door to one of my favorite Casino's :pop:

I want to thank everyone who responded to my questions .. your good at spending other's money :laugh:

Hard to say...I live between the Skagit Valley Casino at Bow Hill (to the east) and the Swinomish Casino on Hwy 20 (to the west). Silver Reef and Northwood are both North of us, Angel of the Winds and Tulalip are both South of us. :)

Good morning everyone! :) Wind is howling outside. I had an embarrassing moment this morning. Woke up alone with the dogs, looked out my window and quickly grabbed my phone, hid under the covers and texted Wayne, asking "why is there a guy smoking outside my window?" He flies into the bedroom like a tornado asking who....where....what guy? I poke my head out of the covers pointing to the guy in the red shirt, green pants with a blonde top smoking a cig....turns out it was a nursery stump, being buffeted by the wind. :facepalm: In my defense, I didn't have my glasses on. :blush::laugh:

Good morning Lisa! Pretty funny but obviously not so at the time. I have a hard time as well when I don't have my glasses on. Which is only when driving. The rest of the time I like the softness of the world which is my visual perception when I'm without glasses. I got used to it a long time ago as I've needed glasses for distance since I was a kid. And, as we grow older, the vision doesn't get better.

Good morning, Fleet :)
Hahaha...ya, we need window coverings in our bedroom, not to keep people from seeing in....you've seen our back yard....our nearest neighbor is over 1000' away. We need them to keep me from seeing things that aren't there when I wake up. :lol:

hey DJ got my lighted keyboard today :)

I love them things!! the laptop of my nephews has one, and now I don't wanna be without em again!

I never got another pet since.
Sucked to get two dogs that well trained, spending countless hours with them only to have someone take them.

that really stinks, so sorry that happened.

Quick question
On the button covers, I'm looking at the Black Delrin , but the picture shows the silver ones.
Is the heading, .. or the picture wrong. I want the black ones since I don't want it to stand on the mod (color wise)
Or, in the long run, am I better off just staying with what it comes with :confused:

Slotsssssssssssssss hiya hun! Glad to see ya here, and so glad you got one Reo, and are getting another. Hope you love em! I gotta get verified. Have nearly signed up for paypal a few times, but keep not doing it. Pretty sure I wanna hook it to my debit card instead of my bank acct, but gotta get some money in my checking acct to do that. I think they put a charge through of like a dollar or two to make sure it works, and I don't have it in there right now :facepalm: Even if I don't buy from the classies, I wanna be able to see the pics of other people's!!


Does this even count as morning ? If so, Good Morning REOVille. I think it's something like 19*F outside, but somewhere along the way I should find a bright, sunny Friday.

Have a Safe and Blessed Day, and a Great Weekend when you get to it :)

as rattytat said, it counts! Hope you have a wonderfully blessed day and weekend too!! stay safe out there!

hehehe I know that was scary at the time. Funny what our eyes will do. One night driving to my dad's house in Houston (bout 4 hrs away), very dark country road.......I suddenly saw a man in a long cape, hunched over, standing in the middle of the road, swingin an old lantern. Started slowing down, locked all the doors, was thankful my son was sleeping, thoughts raced about turning around, but no other way to go without going a couple hours out of my way......many prayers going up.......creeped a little closer....... more prayers...... finally got close enough to see that there was no man.....it was a semi truck parked on the side of the road with his red lights on. I'd been putting off going to the eye doctor, but after I told my dad about that.....he made sure I got in to the eye dr quick after that!!

Howdy y'all!!!

hehehe ratty......I'll get one at some point! Got a couple eternity bf atties, so once I get my DIY stuff, I can start saving for a Reo. I'll have to find out what Rob charges to upgrade to the new 510 and maybe new contacts. Might be better off price wise getting a new one, not sure. But I have some time to find out. Bday is in July, so might be able to get my son to kick in some on a reo then. You're so sweet to want one for me, but I'll get there.......patience grasshopper!! lol knows this girl has no patience! lol

I sure use to have more patience than I do now. Is that another sign that I'm getting to be an o'l tooter?

dunno, but I doubt it........I think I have more patience now than I used to........but some if it is cuz I've been forced to have patience. some of it is, that I'm just more relaxed now that I'm not working 30 hrs a day 9 days a week! lol

I know when I sold my Reo Grand that didn't have the upgraded contacts I figured that into my selling price and took money off. Didn't have to but I wanted to offer a fair deal for me and the buyer. When you start looking that can be a good bargaining point, if the price is out of line, that in addition you'd have to add in the cost of upgrading contacts, new 510, and all of a sudden you're 20.00 shy of a new one. Why buy used to save that much? :)

Again, I factored that in because it was the right thing to do.

Cuz yur a sweetheart! Yeah, that was my thinking. Never got verified, so haven't seen classie prices, but most folks say that many of them don't factor in things like that. They aren't a lot cheaper there than new. But I am determined to figure out this paypal thing, and get verified........also, I now have an opportunity to dip my toes into diy, which I didn't think was going to happen for quite awhile.......and that was my next step on the road to Reo, so I'm just clippin right along!! I'll be here officially before we all know it. lol
