Look on Craigslist. If ya don't mind doing a little work to fix it, I've seen frames with ripped covers or a bent pole or two being given away. If you know the manufacturer, replacement covers are around half the price of a whole new one and the poles are easy to fix with exhaust tubing.
I still have a pet rock from the mid '80s it is kinda like my dick, only one eye but it is still hard.
). The food he gets at this place is pretty damn good, other than lack of salt....because old people. We got soup, salad and rolls. He had chicken picata, rice pilaf and mixed veggies. I had ravioli and sausage, rice pilaf and zucchini, all delivered to his room. It was a good night, I haven't spent that much time with him in awhile. I'll be going back again tonight. As far as he and I are concerned, he's fine to be alone, but my aunt, his daughter, is still nervous. She would stay with him but her husband just had a major heart attack the day before my grandfather fell, and had a double bypass Monday, so she's dealing with him. Yeah, so it's been a fun 2 weeks.
That's a good idea. I did something similar to fix a trampoline that got tore up in a storm. Found one broken next to the road. Saws all and a little work and it was fixed.
Love'em while you have'em. I miss the hell out of my grandpa, he was a mean old WW2 vet. But he spent time with us and that was more than anyone else did.I just got home from helping my grandfather. He's 93 and fell going into the shower about a week and a half ago. Luckily no breaks or fractures, but he's pretty sore. Hit his knee and shoulder pretty good. The rehab discharge papers said he needed assistance with dressing and bathing, so I ended spending the night just to make sure he would be ok. Talked for a few hours and then watched some baseball (wow, baseball's fucking boring...

Maybe the State didn't want any unfinished business at the "End of the World".
I just scored my grandpas ww2 canteen. I found it online typing in my grandpas name about 6 or so months ago.
Many thanks to @Singlemalt too!
The story could only be better if somehow the canteen was up someone's ass. Lmao
LOL singlemalt would have made him an offer he couldn't refuse! I'm glad BarnBuster was able to get it done for you. That is a wonderful story and something nice to pass along to your kid
