I know we all like good books. I always keep reading materials stacked by my bed to cure insomnia. The following book is quite comforting. I am showing the table of contents so you can see if it might be up your alley. I find these kinds of books at thrift stores for a buck or less, and enjoy them a great deal.

I won't ask how it ends

Nice, one of my favorite subjects.

I love "how to" books.

This.^^

Might have to get me a fine book like that.

I would never do that to a book, no, what ever gave you the idea that I would? My books are all real books, I wouldn't cu......hey, don't touch that one!

I'd pay up to $1.50 for a book like that.

I love library sales and flea market book piles were I can load up for as little as ten for a buck on the books. Problem is when I buy 30 or more large hardcover books and only then remember than I am a mile from the car across a packed flea market.

You need to find a nice red Radio Flyer wagon to tote your stuff.

My problem is that by the time I find the books I am already hauling a cart full of guns, Victrolas, and Victrola records ( they are heavy) food, Model T parts and so on.

Just make sure your book doesn't end up in a garage sale. I know a guy whose wife sold his old wooden chest in a garage sale for 15.00 once. She never looked inside it. It was where he had placed a ton of music cd's worth alot of money.

OR, Maybe she did

JYD, what you need is a assistant commonly refered to as to as a "Bearer" or a "beastie". You know the guy that follows behind you and does all the crap work you don't want to.

OK, now I have to figure out; am I my wife's beastie or bearer?

Well when I think of Bearers I visualize a gun on a Safari with an "Assistant" handing him the extra rifle, carrying the trophy and usually getting PAID!!!

Now a Beastie on the other hand is kinda like "Gunga Din" Cleaning latrines, digging trenches, generally getting all the crap work details. In my house I'm the Beastie.

I got two of them, but they are easily distracted, I turn around and one of them is stuffing his face over at the food section, and the other is buying fake lotto tickets and plastic dog poop.
