[Rhodes22-list] PayPal Issues - Tool Update

[Brad Haslett]

John and Hank,

I thought $10K was a bit high, the big ticket items I bought off eBay were
paid for by certified check. So I did the Excell spreadsheet download and
realized I had forgotten that we paid for our new 'home' in Gulfport last
summer (a fifth-wheel camper) on PayPal for $8700.

Hank,  come on down and get in on the gravy train!  You can sleep on the
floor in the shop building.  We can draw chalk lines around the dry spots
until we get the roof fixed.  Someone please tell me we're having fun!
