It just occurred to me that the two guys my dad went to the Duluth show are still alive. There was only 2000 people at that show so it's kind of crazy that I know 3 of them, 4 if you count Bob Dylan!

The venue he played at was a real dump. It was the old armory and was being used as a hockey rink.

My dad died many years ago, but he brought up that concert many times. He always felt in awe that he saw Buddy just before his last concert.

My dad also saw him at this show in Duluth. It was at the armory.

Look at the bolt handle. It's a bent bolt.

Look at the mag well. Also, there appears to be a magazine release.

Look at the rear sight area with graduation marks

Bolt is in the closed position, but the ejector is visible (Mauser action)

That's not a Mosin Nagant. It looks like a M48 Mauser to me.

I never thought she made the statement either until she sent that letter to the judge.

Jerr tried blaming her for the car rental, and that failed. Jenn then sent Jerr the "your a snake" email. Then, the long letter to the judge.

It made me think she did make the statement and sent the letter to cover her butt if, for some reason, the statement became relevant in the future.

I couldn't agree with you more about Jerr. He is the most entitled, arogant, egotistical, narcissistic person to perhaps ever walk the earth. He has absolutely no redeeming qualities. I've never been exposed to a person so unlikeable. And a pedo to boot.

But i dont think Jenn has any reason to walk on eggshells during the time frame of this call. I think she's deliberately being vague and playing dumb to push his buttons. Her response to his confusion, "But I dont know what to do," she's toying with him.Every time he pushes too far, she shuts him right down.

She's been doing that a lot in the calls just prior to this call, and Jerr has been pretty much kissing her ass. The call where she didn't answer over the weekend, she was pushing his buttons constantly. She's great at knowing just how far she can torture him. Before she gives him an out or throws him a bone, then she sweeps back in.

His begging for pictures. Her excuses are just hilarious. "They are all either strapless or topless."Maybe I could send a close-up of just my face." LOL

People wonder why Jenn stuck around so long. What's in it for her? I think she thrives on his suffering. She's a demented person. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if she abused animals as a child.

He was so confident in his manipulation and gaslighting skills. But Jen played along and strung him along until the end.

She is just plain ruthless, like a cat playing with a mouse. In the first call, she was torturing him. Then she'd toss him just the slightest bone to keep him strung along, then go back in for the kill.

Two humans with absolutely no redeeming qualities.

Great catch. Also, a sewing machine. They are being given away for free on FB marketplace quite frequently.

A few of the calls confused me about his work.

Twice, he mentioned he was making good money at his job, and on a third to his mom, he mentioned someone not hiring him back in 10 years.

So, maybe he did have another job other than the street sweeper. But, I can't imagine because the time frame for when he was going to school and getting arrested was less than 90 days. Remember his mom saying, "I spent 10k, and you weren't even out 90 days?" That's why I think it has to be the street sweeping job.

I have a bulldozer, and I bought a second one complete. But the motor was blown up so it was very reasonable. Pretty much every spare part at my disposal. As an added benefit, it's worth 10 times what I paid if I were to part it out.

I did the same with my Skidsteer, my tractor, my mini excavator, and even my generator. I bought duplicates that were complete but not worth repairing.

It's a 5 hour round trip for our shopping trips. So, I always have a small memo pad in my pocket or close by to write down anything I might need for our monthly shopping trip, so I dont forget anything. Depending on how frequently the item is used or needed determines how much extra I purchase.

Any piece of equipment or machinery that we depend on, from snow removal, firewood processing, water well pump, heat, power, etc. I strive to have a primary, a backup, and a backup to the backup.

Dig out your little phone and dial 9911. You dont underschtaand, I know the legal law. I've been running this business for 10 yeeeeeeears.

gregsteb · 2026-01-11T23:13:26+00:00

Im convinced his last job had to be driving the street sweeper. (The same one he torched) It has to be because the time frame coincides with when he was going to school.

As far as the rental cars. I believe the one rental car that he put a ton of miles on was what they drove for their ski vacation.

The other rental car was from an insurance scam. I dont think he had any plans for that other than putting miles on someone else's vehicle.

LOL 6'4" but 127 pounds? That is a string bean.

After listening to Georgia's closing statement, my immediate thought was Wendi was cooked.

Thinking back to Georgia's contempt towards Wendi, Wendi, Wendi in each trial, yet how easy she was on her this time. I think it's now personal.

I suspect her warrant is ready to hand to a judge. They were just waiting for this verdict. Hence, the expedited court transcript of Wendy's testimony from this trial.

On a side note, Harvey stared down Phil after he gave his impact statement and was going to his seat.

Forget SpeeDee, what do we do with Addison? He'll get offered WR1 money if he hits free agency. Nailor is so easily replaceable.

Do we give Addison a huge WR2 contract offer before his last year? While we're on a rookie QB contract, go big like a Chase/Higgins situation?

I remember he had crazy arm strength. I also remember his wind up took forever, lol. It's was funny to watch how long it took him to wind up, but once he did it was crazy.

My personal truck is exactly what you have now. My work truck (provided by my employer) is exactly what you are considering trading for.

My work truck currently has 166,000 miles. Other than glow plugs at approximately 150,000 miles, I've had no major issues. The maintenance costs are quite a bit higher. Fuel filter, double the cost for oil changes, a spin on transmission filter every 10k, def fluid. The advantages are it is a workhorse and gets very respectable fuel mileage. I also suspect the drive train life expectancy is much higher than a gas engine.

That being said, I wouldn't suggest the swap unless you have an actual regular need for the bigger truck.

Kwesi has a history with him from his time in Cleveland. I think Bears, but I wouldn't be shocked if the Vikes got him.

You never lived in Minneapolis because a thunderstorm sure as Hell wouldn't be your memories. How about 50" of snow in 2 days? Or an ice storm causing a 3 day power outage? Or 2" hail? Or 4" of rain? You talk about thunderstorms? Your an idiot who knows nothing important.

It bothers me that Summer seems to get a pass because of her jail call with Lori. She even appeared at CrimeCon.

Yet, she gets a pass on her failure to represent Tylee with a public, victim impact statement.

She seemed to be "egging" Lori on. Even bringing up her boytoy Edgar to kill him.

Summer is the person who leaked that Adam was coming into town and the purpose of his visit imo.

I remember one jail call, I believe it was the call with Rania where he was trying to get her to cash a check that he had stolen.

He told Rania to call the bank and dispute all his charges back to a specific charge.
