Money to Burn

Part I

You will recall that Marco didn't show last Saturday and I assumed that he was flush and didn't need my wedge. Well he turned up last Thursday, not to work but to negotiate an interest free payday loan. Promising to work down the debt on Saturday, he extracted $20 from me. Did he show Saturday? Did he buggery! Too busy blowing his my wad on shine and weed I'll be bound.

Part II

Several of the auto restoration companies ply their wares on Ebay and I like to keep an eye out for a bargain. Last week I managed to pick up two vent window winders for $20. During breakfast with Gene I let him know about my financial acumen when he asked how much I had paid. When I told him he gave me that knowing smile which prompts the retort "What!". "Well", he says "I picked up a box of those at the Carlisle show for $1 each. Let me know if you need any other parts"

Bon bloody jour as we say in German

Money spent; $20 on winders (bah humbug)
