Reminds me of when a buddy and I were paid to replace 6 plug cover plates in a community gazebo for $900 in today’s dollars.

The regular cover plates with that one little screw with new ones of the same color, when I blanched at the pay she laughed and said she controlled the funds and she knew we needed the money, she liked us and kept a refrigerator with a keg in it in her kitchen and we drank and ate at her place for months while we painted her little kitchen (what could have been done in about one day), she liked us drinking the free beer all day and her fixing us food and then finishing up the drinking day when she would take us to the happy hour for drinks and food, she even had two daughters if you could get past the Navy SEAL boy fiends, which I did of course.

Weird times in California.

Good grief. You can’t be that obtuse that she needed to send an engraved invitation for the jack pot. LOL
