Took the Sportwagon in and again they said everyone likes the wagon. If that was true, then why didn't people buy them? Maybe the service writer was just buttering me up.

 

like doesnt mean buy.

sure, I like the wagon. doesnt mean I bought one

also, why do you think he was buttering you up?

you gave absolutely no context, which we cannot draw any conclusions from...


might as well have posted " I Like apples!"

 

I never really liked apples, but recently I've been eating more and I think I'm coming around. Braeburn's from New Zealand are my favorite so far.

When I bought my wagon, the finance guy said he wanted to buy it and would have done so if he was closer to retiring. But he didn't because I bought it and he wasn't so close to retiring.

I'm also starting to appreciate BBQ more and more.

 

^I have a few habanero plants growing!

 

Until I moved to Ohio I had never even seen an apple tree..

Man.. there's nothin better than eating an apple directly off the tree MMMMMMM

 

Argh. I let my Bhut Jolokia plant die this winter. The peppers were getting less and less hot and I sort of kept it outside too far into the chill and . I sort of regret it but I might try to get my hands on a Carolina Reaper this year.

I just started a single pot with about 50 random seeds and a whole bunch of them started sprouting. So I'm in for a crap-shoot of peppers/hybrids this year. Could be interesting.

 

^thats how my family started this year.

buying peppers to eat and collecting the seeds to plant.

my brother also tried to buy a seed packet of habenaro seeds that had this coating on it to make it "guarantee" to grow...but the ones from the actual peppers are doing better than the "coated" ones

 

I think you know what he wants....

 

I haven't tried to plant an apple tree

 

You should try!

One place I worked had a peach tree that started when an employee finished his peach, dug a little hole with his boot heel, and dropped the stone in. FFWD a few years, and voila, Peach Tree!

But then it got cut down because reasons.

 

Ok maybe I shouldn't post early Monday morning after going to the dealer. Maybe I was just stunned by the cost of a new windshield.

 

context?

so, was dealer buttering you up or not?

 

I think I will grow the "Jonathan Apples"

They are the greenish yellow ones! Only problem is I don't have a yard lol

Ill have to start on my balcony lmao

 

That is totally do-able. I was talking to one of the workers at a local nursery (for plants) and she lives in an apartment but says she has all sorts of trees growing in containers. Like, 5-10 gallon containers and they're content enough to produce fruit. So as long as you pick one suitable to you're climate zone and sun/shade availability, you should be able to do it.

 

I'm a Honeycrisp apple fan myself..

 

Should you just buy a small tree or try and grow from a baby seed?

I wonder if the date to plant is already passed... hmmm might be something to research while pooping

 

Seed is a bit more challenging. I like starting things from seeds because it makes me feel like a god. Of course, your lag time to actually getting fruit will be much longer with seed.

A tree is easier. You can pretty much buy one from where ever and drop it in a pot/bucket and call it a day. With a sapling, well, there were some at the nursery that already had little fruits starting so it would just be a matter of feeding and watering it to keep it happy.

 

^this guy is a BOSS!

 

I had two Juniper Bonzai Trees!

...I killed two Juniper Bonzai Trees

 

 

I was trying to create a bonsai oak. I was at the park last month and found an acorn that had just sprouted and I carefully extracted it and brought it home to replant.

It was doing okay and was just starting to grow it's third set of leaves. But when I came home last Friday I saw it laying on its side in the pot with the tiny rootball ripped off laying next to it. Nearest I can tell, a little bastard squirrel probably dug it up to eat the tasty, tasty acorn. I am not happy to say the least.

Now I need to start over with adequate anti-squirrel defenses.

 

Honey Crisp or Fuji FTW!!!

 

Get a pellet gun, and lure them in with seeds.. then POP 'EM

 

squirrels like nuts so just go out there and lie there and they'll come running straight into your lap

 

lol the birds and squirrels are afraid to come around my back yard

 

prob think your mom going to eat them

 

...but yeah they dealer is just being friendly

 

I usually try to butter myself before I go to places like that. Having someone else do that to me feels weird.

 

thoiboi knows what's good

 

The real stuff or some canola oil blend/margarine nonsense?

 

I often find that people cant hold me. I slip right out of their grasp.

the oh so elusive crabs.

 

did someone say crab and butter

 

mm..

 

The ultimate feast at red lobster is da bomb! so much butter, so much goodness

Do they have Red Lobster in Canada eh?

 

yup! eh!

 

aunties and uncles.
I know you all didnt want to go into that boiling vat of goodness....

 

back to the Sportwagon (if only for a minute) the dealer got a used red Sportwagon and put it in the showroom, took a look at it and the salesman was pretty excited about it. So maybe they do actually like them. Still it looks like they have 4 of them in stock for awhile.

John Eagle Acura in Houston if you are curious.

 

im in houston.

and so is cu2wagon.

the thing about dealers is; they are not your friends!

sales people will lie to you to get you to do something they want. and they want commission.
they will do anything to get commission today. (today means every day.)

its more likely that they were trying to "flip" you.
to get you into a brand new vehicle today! so that the sales man/dealer can hit that quota for the day/week/month.

then after they make the brand new sale; they will then try to sell yours in the used market.

unless you are looking and ready to buy; these sales pitches are generally a bad idea. and they are actually fishing! they are fishing to see if any dummies get hooked...bait, line and sinker

 

I'd rather slurp rancid tuna out of my own ass then eat at Red Lobster. Bleh.


But back to the matter at hand- I too am a fan of Honey Crisp apples. They're quite satisfying, I must admit.

 

I'd be excited to see one too, but I also wouldn't buy one. The only reason for the "excitement" is simply due to the rarity of the car. I maybe see one TSX wagon per year here.
