155. My stuff is fine....I'm obsessive about maintenance... ATV's, trucks, boat, anything

You were asked a question that you seem to be ignoring....I'm curious as to why(not really)?
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=339518
You keep claiming a discussionist deal for me....why? Did someone call you out someplace and you blame me for it?
I'd hope not....that would be unfair.....like you locking doors so the police couldn't gain access while you were plying your trade. https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=338183

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
