Lost earring

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

I was reading an article on the Internet today about some pro football player from the Miami Dolphins who made the mistake of going to practice with a really expensive diamond earring in his ear and that he lost it during practice.  I can sympathise with that, I lose earrings a lot too!  Of course, I don’t wear really expensive ones but it is a drag to lose a piece of jewelry that you like…..

The author of the article suggested that a metal detector would find that earring.  I don’t know if there would be enough metal in a diamond stud earring for a metal detector to find it.  What do you think?

Motorcycle vacations

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

My hubby has been riding his Harley every minute he can get in on it!  He loves to ride!  He’s been talking about taking a vacation together and signing up for some Motorcycle Tours through the Eagle Rider Company website that he found.  They rent Harleys, but they also rent ATVs, scooters, snowmobiles, dirt bikes, and watercraft.  They offer self-drive tours, guided tours, and one-way specials.  Naturally they also sell motorcycles!  I’m sure my hubby would love to be an Eagle Rider on our next vacation!

My brother’s new binoculars

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

My brother dropped over this afternoon to say hello and go for a motorcycle ride with my hubby.  He brought over his new Nikon Monarch ATB binoculars to show off to us.  He’s always buying new cool gadgets and bringing them over to show off!  But he’s a good natured guy and we don’t take it in the context of bragging; he’s just excited about his new “toys” and wants to share his excitement over them!  He said he got the binoculars from opticsplanet.net because they have good prices and were running a special where he got a $50.00 gift card and free shipping when he bought them.  These binoculars are really rugged; I’m sure that’s why he bought them, he’s really hard on the things he owns!

Selling used items

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

My hubby has been collecting guns for many years.  He has been thinking about selling some of his guns and then buying some different ones.  I found a website that can help us determine fair used gun pricing to figure out how much to ask for the guns he wants to sell, and how much the new guns he wants to buy are actually worth before he spends his money on them.

The website is called UsedPrice.com, and they have a cool wizard that you can use to calculate the value of a lot of different items.  They have a dozen different categories, from computers to musical instruments to camera equipment to power tools, to guns and several more.  You can use this to determine a fair selling price if you are thinking about buying or selling, or you can use it for insurance value determination.  I think this website will be a great help, and I am definitely going to bookmark it for future reference!

Sports

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Yesterday I was talking with another bus driver during one of the between run lay overs.  She was telling me that she likes to participate in the “transportation department” football pool in the fall.  She told me that she gets free football picks over the Internet at www.addictsports.com, and that helps her to pick out the best teams to pick for the pool.  She was encouraging me to join the pool this fall, and I told her I’d think about it.  I’m not sure I’ll still be bus driving in the fall; I’m hoping to have a different job by then!
