> [@swampbear](#): > > I shall start the day by goin’ by the Ford place to get a price on replacin’ my lamented side view mirror. I’ve also been lookin’ online. Might also ask a couple local body shops for a price. I just want ideas. 1. Car dealer: Overpriced, expensive; you’ll need to replace the whole assembly, not just the glass. 2. Junk yard: \<$35 if you get lucky & find the right glass 3. Dollar store: buy a makeup mirror & some duct tape, either [day](http://www.duckbrand.com/products/duck-tape/printed-duck-tape/1152?swatch=true) or [night](http://www.duckbrand.com/products/duck-tape/glow-in-the-dark-duck-tape) varieties. [This](http://whitetrashrepairs.com/) website will give you instrux on how to DIY. 4. I can procure parts for you for the special Mumper-discounted price of $647.89 (including shipping). 😃 > [@Jynxster](#): > > I had a no good verry bad terrible irk day yesterday.

Good morning. Thank Deity the week is half over. It’s cold here this morning. It’s currently 40 degrees, and that’s after it has ‘warmed up’ a bit. It was a good move that I brought all the plants/flowers in last night. There was frost. I hope it’s the last one, but I doubt it. Indiana weather is seriously wonky. I hope we all have a pleasant day. ---

Happy Hump Day! It got cold overnight, after all the thunder boomers. I had to close my window this morning. Been having strange dreams the last few days. They have been more annoying than interesting. This morning was the one where you have to pee and can’t find a place to go. The bathroom was so dirty that my feet got wet and I was wearing platform shoes. I was so upset because I was going out on a date and my shoes were going to smell like pee and I couldn’t find a place to wash my feet. The night before I dreamed I was in my new house and the previous owners had had a party and I as I was pulling all the balloons and streamers down the ceiling was coming down with them. The a little girl ghost was dragging all the wrapping paper through the house and when I yelled at her she dumped a bag of confetti all over the house. Sah-son and I were chasing her around trying to catch her which is really stupid because how do you catch a ghost? Dumb ass dreams! ---

Lunch break! I’ve already filled one garbage can, and I’ve sorted and priced a lot of stuff. The miscellaneous boat parts are going in a “Make Offer” pile - I don’t want to mess with labeling all the bits and pieces. I got an email about the wire I’m trying to get rid of - gonna call him back in a minute. I figure I’m about halfway thru the shed full of crap. I’m filling the garage with crap. The trick will be getting all the crap out in the driveway before people start showing up. Oh, and I need to make a couple of Yard Sale signs. Or maybe I’ll just buy some. Meanwhile, I need chocolate. Or a nap. Or maybe both. ---

N.O.L. time. Actually I just had a ham sammich. Ford will replace the whole thing for a hunnert and twenty-nine dollahs includin’ labor. I don’t think that’s too bad. However Ima go talk to a couple local body shops as well. \ Body Shop! \ **{{{Lucky}}}** hope things are better irkwise today. **Sari** if you’re dreamin’ about a house that means it’s gonna happen. I had a little rain at da cave last night but apparently it rained a lot in town. ‘Twas very wet when I arrived at the orifice. Also, had a Come to Jesus meetin’ with a participant this mornin’. If she so much as looks at somebody the wrong way she’s so outta here. I’m a patient bear but enough is enough. Meanwhile, miraculously, what I needed from the person I placed on leave yestiddy has appeared! A miracle of shrineworthy proportions! 😃 ---

Everybody’s always late to your place… Back in December I emailed 3 Craiglist lawn folks to clean up a bunch of leaves for me. Two responded but I ultimately decided against it once I heard the prices. Last night, 4 months later, the third responds as if I had just sent the email. … I was polite in my refusal of services. ---

He got lost… but when he got here, he bought some of the wire, and a bunch of other stuff to the tune of $67!! And he’s interested in the big length of chain, but he wants it for $75 and we want $100 - buying it new would be well over $500 - I think our price is more than fair… Anyway - ChaChing!!! 😃 ---

**MOOOOOOM** you gonna start a biddin’ war on chain? Sounds kinky! 😃 I think my brain is full. I had to stop irkstuff for a bit because I absolutely just couldn’t stand it anymore. I needs to relaxate a bit before tacklin’ anything else. OYKW has a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for Mexican commestibles, so it’s out for dindin tonight. YAY!!! Well, not tonight. Five p.m. is not night time. Stil, YAY!!!
