Ouch hahaha!

Anyway Tim-O, Was there a reason other than avoiding import duties that you chose that brand? I can’t wear that style as it has that high collar and would absolutely **** me off as it would interfere with my Bose earbud collar that I wear. That’s why I was looking at the HD branded ones. I see some that you throw in a freezer which doesn’t seem very practical for our application.

By the way, I am feeling MUCH better and more lucid. So much so, that I resigned my position on the HOA board.

Well they won't have Juan L to kick around anymore.
This was at house #1, correct? Did you ever get to a resolution on the delinquent dues guy?

It got to the point that I just don’t enjoy serving any more. Tired of dealing with the f****ing no account, low class motherf****ers. I’ll be much happier now.

Correct. Not my problem any more! I do have an update from PDX on “Drunk boy” though.

I bought that one for the collar, so it can keep our necks cool. It’s also advertised as one for motorcycling.
Some of the reasons why that brand is ease of ordering, highly recommended (HD is a client) and you just have to soak it.
With that being said, you do have to wear a jacket that isn’t full of holes to make it work. Too many holes and it will evaporate too fast. Also, if you can’t find a decent river to dunk it in, you can buy a gallon of water anywhere, dump it in a big ziplock bag to rehydrate it.

And price. $120 x 2 is way easier to swallow than $400+ x 2.

I thought he was disposed of a couple years ago.
