Since Charlie is a new-hire, Chrysler is probably working him like a rented mule. I've been that route.

Yup; he is exiting the rental mule phase and moving up to hired mule.

I would love to be able to go through a railyard and get some up close pics of locomotives. I bet that was a lot of fun.

It was really cool, I just wish there would have been more lights since it was about 10:30 at night when we went. I'm not sure how to post pictures from online here but I'm pretty sure my sister got a picture of this. I'm pretty sure she took the picture head on so you just see the blades. I'm guessing you're big into trains then? I assumed it from the picture in your sig but I'm a newbie here

I'm a huge train fan as are some of the other folks in the Morning Thread. I've never seen a snow blower in person but that would be awesome. I have watched videos of them in action and it's fun to see.

the pic in my sig is one I took and if you would like to look through my train pics they can be seen here...

When I was younger I was a big fan of trains. I just always thought they were cool because of their size and power. Plus my grandpa used to work for the railroad in Cheyenne but he was putting the breaks on individual cars and the train suddenly moved causing him to fall and his legs were ran over. But now I live in a railroad town so I get sick of the trains all the time

I would like to thank Richard again for helping me get this card. I have never seen one listed this low and when I did I had to get it. Funds are on hold for our family trip this coming week. Thanks Richard!!

Excuse for me to show off one of my favorite nonsport cards:

No need to be sorry. It happened before I was born so I grew up with him in a wheelchair. I thought it was the coolest thing when I was younger and he was always in high spirits and would even joke about having no legs

Wow a 3-package mailday. That hasn't happened in a long time...

Aaron Harang patch card ($5)
Cleveland Indians cards for this weekend.

Also bought some signed cards. I've never seen so many cards packed into a PWE without protection in my life. Most received minor corner damage but nothing too serious. At least they stayed in there. Envelope was partially open when I got it.

The autos I got, I spent $10.

10 autos at $10 ain't bad. Lots of people would charge $2+ for some of them.

I was able to fill a lot of holes with this purchase too.

Hey Mac! I have not heard any of that talk but it would not surprise me if it is in a couple years or later in his career. I would certainly be VERY sad to see him go, but amazing ball players like him, Ichiro and Griffey is what (sadly) continues to give Seattle and the Mariners a good name for our team hahaha! Collecting wise, I will only collect Felix in a Mariners uniform. Since I am a half glass full kind of guy, eventually I would start saving money hehe!

Late reply here but been jammin' at work. Yea I guess one of them was talking about him leaving in the next two years, etc. Who knows... he will probably go to the yankees like most everyone does lol. That is cool though that you would only collect him in a mariners jersey... If I did that with Belle (Indians), I'd have a lot more money in the bank

 

[MojoDan]

What are you jammin to at work Mac?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

No, thats not what I'm getting at lol. 10 autos for $10 is really good

Oh haha my bad.

I usually cash in on "house cleaning" threads over on Neshek's. I can get a lot of great stuff for cheap

 

[MansGame]
