Seems he had a ton of issues with drugs and mental issues ?

He did

Yes, all I know is she needed it, and got it pretty quick.
Pretty sure it would be expired by now.

A CDL is a form of drivers license. It doesn't necessarily expire unless you let it. It is just renewed like a regular license. If she had one of those she would have had to revert back to a regular one. I should have let mine go last year when I renewed. I know that I wasn't going to be driving buses anymore, or at least highly unlikely, but I hated to give it up. I will be 78 when my current one expires and I'm pretty sure I will go back to the cheap one when that happens.

If you’ve ever watched any classic car auctions these days, that boat would probably be worth some decent cash…!!!!!

That is true but living up north were salt on highways is the norm and the fact that manufacturers did little to nothing about rust proofing cars back then. By now it would have been nothing more than a couple strips of rust and four tires.

Yep, we’ve both posted about our Chrysler product experiences many times over the years.
It’s great that yours were good experiences, but, both of ours just sucked.
Once they got to a certain low-to-mid mileage point, both the ‘90 Jeep Cherokee Laredo and the ‘01 Dodge Grand Caravan began to have minor to major problems, and in the end, turned out to be just plain garbage for us.
By the time we dumped them, both had leaking front and rear main seals, broken drivers bucket seats, trim issues, etc., etc., etc.
Both had 6-cylinder engines…the Cherokee a straight 6, the Caravan a V-6 (after all, it was a “Grand” Caravan…!!!!! )
Both were Carolyn’s main transportation, and she has driven like a church lady since the day I met her…except for braking…as I’ve posted before, she’s always been particularly hard on brakes…!!!!!
Simply, we’ll never buy another Chrysler product again.

I had that problem with the bucket seat as well. I went to the junk yard and bought one for $25.00. Put it in an used it till I sold the van. The seat was a different color, the original was tan and the replacement was a dark maroon. Still worked ok though, just would have gotten some points off at a car show.

Yeah it's sad. Seems his family was extremely dysfunctional and he and his siblings all had a rough childhood. His older brother Nick also had some issues with dugs and addiction, but he was able to turn it around in part because of the support he got from other Backstreet Boys members. Seems Aaron never had that same support system, or even if he did just wasn't able to turn things around.

Good grief, I’ve never seen so many broken bats in a World Series in my life…!!!!!

SonIL was recently gifted a new pair of sunglasses by his company (FB). He can’t wear them ‘cause he needs prescription, so he regifted the $300 pair of polarized Maui Jim sunglasses to me…!!!!!!!

And, earlier I found these from my first trip to Disneyland in 1968…!!!

Yea, I can’t remember how long it was good for, but, she wasn’t working at the day care center all that many years after she got it.

Ya’ never know, these days someone may consider that an “artistic” classic and pay big bucks for it…!!!!!

Mighta’ done that too if both vehicles weren’t already so far gone mechanically that it just wasn’t even remotely close to worth the bother.

Yet another broken bat…!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drives me crazy as well. I wish we could stick with the standard time clock. I never liked daylight savings time.
