But so much fun! Well not for the cats.

Long ago and far away there was a discussion amongst egr./sci. types titled "feline butterology" .

Cats land on their feet when dropped.
Buttered toast lands butter side down when dropped.
If you buttered a cat's back, would it land on it's feet when dropped?

I think you should look inward to solve your problem.

LOL. That made me laugh. Thread drift? Nah, just the normal progression.

Interesting thread. I wanted to stay pretty cheap, but at the same time when I put effort into something I don't want it to be too cheap. I am trying to watch my budget, but I want some nice things in my bus. I am no way rich, but I know a steel bus will last much longer than a stick and staple RV. Now that I found an infinite power supply (see above) I am now rich and can contract the rest of the work out on my bus.

Nah...

I did see one once that looked like it may have been buttered.

10 seconds with the pressure washer took care of that...

My 5 would scatter and hide as soon as you cranked it up. 4 years and they still run for cover before I even hit the switch on the vacuum.

The owner is also the owner of the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres and many other businesses. Estimated worth about 3.1 billion USD.
That gentleman would be Terrence Pegula and $43,000 is "WAM" MONEY to him.

"WAM" = (Walking Around Money)

His 2018 Estimated worth $4.8 BILLION

"WAM" money to "skoolies" is $20.00

"WAM" money to Terrence is $43,000.

$150.00 for bus diesel for us.

$43,000 for boat diesel for him.

It's all relative!

No he's not "My" relative!
