FREE BOLER!....#@&#*...yesterday
WHY ONE SHOULD READ THE PAPER IMMEDIATELY
I kid you not- the following ad appeared in Wednesday's Port Townsend Leader, which I did not read until Thursday
Here fully quoted:
Quote:

FREE BOLER TRAILER. Call evenings
|
It was the real thing, too...as I found out from the lady that told me it had Already Left the Property... And I didn't even WANT another trailer...but still..." FREE  BOLER"!...
Francesca, snoozer-'n-loser

Well...the paper comes out Wednesday noon and the lady said the trailer was gone by nightfall.
I''ll never wait a day to read the paper again! 
I do wish I'd gotten a chance to at least see the little bugger!

You snooze, you loose. 
Then again, do you really need another project?

Free is always good. 
I still yearn a bit for a project trailer, though don't tell my wife, as the Honey Do list is a couple hundred items long, plus all my own projects on the go.

Who you callin' "loose", Bub??? Darn men's room walls... 
As for part two:
I wasn't thinking "project"- I was thinking "I'm gonna make a PILE on this!"

Yea, sure, but at that price there was probably something wrong with it.

No kidding...
But it's a "Boler" that left the property on its own wheels- that's a thousand bucks right there!

Not only was the trailer free but all the varmints living in it too.

Jack, you are probably the most literate person whom I have had the pleasure of reading the missives of. Almost poetry.

That's more like it... Thanks, Thomas G.!
It's just that I thought I might make as much as a thousand percent profit on that trailer!
And a thousand per cent of..."free"...is........nothing... 
Never mind!

Yep, Francesca, if they were letting it go for nothing, you might have even talked them down further.... and they'd have paid YOU to take the Boler
