Indeed. I can't wait to find out how he'll fit his Mazda into the washing machine, or vice-versa.

I got a 32" LCD TV and ROKU player for the workout room, along with a TV wall hanger and also a 1961 vintage Savage model 99 in 308win. I must have been a very good boy.

I found that after several years, the battery would run down in mid-winter, and it would need to sit in a window during a sunny day to be fine again.

Shipped all the way from China I bet. I stopped buying them when that happened. Not only was I paying first world prices for third world goods the quality took a serious hit.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
