    Yeah he messaged me last night

    Told him you can do what you want, as he asked if I wanted to keep the GX

    He's going to get lowball offers, or stupid trade offers like I did

    So you traded and he immediately goes to sell? That's uh... well hopefully you inspected that GX realllllllllly well.

    woof, ready as I'll ever be.. just hoping this one doesn't have the stubbornness Sofia has lol. She's too smart for her own good and uses it against us so if this next one can just be little...slower...that would be awesome

    Just kidding kind of

    @Speedytech7 btw you get your package? Just making sure it didn't get stolen.

    We never had anything taken, in fact I got someone's package and forgot to take it to them (already taken him 3-4 letters and 2 packages before).

    But being Amazon, they're fast to reship and/or refund right away.

    Wait a straight trade for a GX? Sorry if it’s like one page back in the thread.

    Oh yeah the GX checks out completely.

    You know me, I'm a car guy. I went through it completely and drove it on a different day before meeting up again.

    Got receipts for the belt, smog, catalytic converter and more.

    Run Forrest run!

    Yup, I got it! Looks good, I'll have to find some tacky color on my shelf and paint em up sometime. Honestly I have work to do around the house and yard so it is unlikely that I will be putting them on this week or the next.

    Yep

    LC's been getting cheaper here, and triple locked been hitting $12k in CA even

    Non-triple locked is only gonna get cheaper so I said fuck it. Too clean of a rig to chop up, and too raggety of a rig to daily with family.

    Keep in mind I got rid of a 4R I paid $2,250 to get the LC with ;)

    Naw you're good, I just didn't plan on making more anytime soon.

    Got 2 people waiting for my "next batch"

    Who would've thought that'd be a popular item I'd make and sell?

    I was telling Kira and Freddy about this in a PM a few days ago but Sofia had a meltdown in the car the other day of otherworldly proportion, all because I wouldn't let her buckle herself into her car seat.

    She was literally yelling and screaming for long and loud that she started sounding demonic, and out of nowhere she starts growling "FUCKING GOD FUCKING GOD FUCKING GOD" over and over, I was like holy shit, do I need to call a priest

    she obviously heard it from one of us at some point but damn, it's pretty terrifying to hear it come at you from a 3 year old in that way lol

    You're charging reasonably for them, the other offerings aren't... you'll keep selling if you keep the pricing structure fo sho. Your option was cheaper to me than making them myself, which is rare these days, because I already don't pay myself well.

    I brought up the the baby shower thing to Rebecca and she told me that with a second baby you don't really do one, if anything it's a much smaller one. I looked it up and apparently that's a thing, but I am in strong protest lol

    Oh yeah I just learned that too yesterday cause I asked Stephanie if my SIL Sam was gonna have one. Apparently second babies don't get one.

    Which reminds me, I got clothes and diapers for you guys.

    You may as well grab some swaddles (new, unused) as well cause Theo hates being bound.

    yeah, the nice thing though at this age is that it's pretty easy to diffuse most tantrums by letting them go at it for a bit then offering them a hug. Sofia will never turn down a hug and it usually turns the whole thing around pretty quick.

    But with a teenager I highly doubt it will be that simple...

    That's honestly a rule I didn't know but it totally makes sense, can you imagine how fast a catholic or a Mormon would exhaust their community's good will if that rule wasn't established.
