Since the fourth wave is gaining momentum here in BC, I decided to get myself a new project 1965 Kaiser Jeep. It's a solid base to work on. It's not a J10, but who gives lol So long j-ten-ner

The sad thing is that most of them are trying to be funny. They don't even mean to offend me. It's their way to get my attention and approval. Yes, being raised in a certain way can have a long term effect on our perspective. so long j-ten-ner

double post, sorry

When I get those comments about my origins (like "Nazi" or "Heil Hitler" etc)., all what pops into my mind is "at which grade did you drop out of school? 3, 5...?" so long j-ten-ner

I'm kinda in between. I had a '77 J10 Honcho with a 401 cui engine, I sold it before I moved to Canada. Still regret it, but at the time I didn't have much of a choice. Life got in the way of pursuing my desire to purchase a "new" one, but I'm getting itchy again. It's hard to find a matching # truck with a 401. And, I'm not the only one looking for a truck in decent shape and all original. ... so long j-ten-ner

Meanwhile, I'm surfing this website. http://www.jeeptruck.com/sale/sale.html It's getting more interesting... so long j-ten-ner

I should buy more ammo for my 12 gauge. Doomsday is coming... I still don't know anyone who is infected. Two of my guys at work went in for a test but came back negative. Mmhh.... so long j-ten-ner

For me it's like 'cut twice and it's still too short'. so long j-ten-ner

I don't like that term. "Our new normal". I see it as a "thing" we have to deal with until it's over. Dealing with it in a sense of doing everything to tackle the threat and then move on with our "normal life" as we know it. Ignorant people, unaware of what is going on, will be the ones suffering from the aftermath. The US is the best example. And the younger population in BC, Canada. Anyway, I still try to be positive about the outcome of the pandemic and just keep hiking, boating, swimming, drinking and barbecuing ? Btw, I don't know anyone who's infected, no co-workers, their families or friends or anyone I come in contact with. It seems strange..... so long j-ten-ner

Would you do me the favour and put this in writing for everyone to read? ? so long j-ten-ner

What really scares me about the whole situation is, that the BC government is now thinking about tracking people down via debit and credit card trail. It's not the fact itself. I understand the reason. But I don't know who is collecting the data and what happens to the data. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/credit-cards-loyalty-programs-quietly-used-in-b-c-contact-tracing-1.4951402 so long j-ten-ner

"muzzle full, I'm leaving..." "...sh*t, forgot the mask" so long j-ten-ner

Just my 2 cents...? so long j-ten-ner

lol no punch line. Just threw it out there. I punched myself out though. Doesn't take much ? so long j-ten-ner

I need a beer. so long j-ten-ner

Go figure...hahaha

The question still remains. Why toilet paper? so long j-ten-ner

I've seen for years, drivers wearing masks. Most of them (if not all) are of Asian descent. Maybe they knew it all along that the ****** will hit the fan eventually...;) so long j-ten-ner

What's wrong with having no choice but to survive? so long j-ten-ner

Probably, as long as oil is available and affordable. IMO it's inevitable that the electric vehicles take over. The manufactures are at their limit. The combustion engines are more efficient than ever and it's getting harder and harder to squeeze out one more mile/gallon. All the features like lane departure warning, adaptive cruise, cameras etc are maxed out. They can't get more money out of us for this. (I'd be happy to pay a little extra for self levelling headlights though...) The next step would be autonomous vehicles. But they're not there yet and the development is probably too expensive (for now). What does it leave to the car builders? Exactly. A new era of vehicles which are now somewhat cheap to build and can be sold for top Dollars. Because John Doe and the Millennials are mind-blown by all the new technology and are willing to pay. I don't mind EV's. I think it could be fun. so long j-ten-ner

What actually scares me is not necessarily the numbers we see in the news every day. What scares me is how easy it is to bring our "western economies" down. I can only hope that those "individuals", who hate the western economies, don't have any means of watching the news.... so long j-ten-ner

You're right about that. so long j-ten-ner

It reminds me a little bit of this ..., although the translation is a little off. Not by the straight translation, but by the meaning...lol so long j-ten-ner

I think that you missed the point. so long j-ten-ner

Yeah...but she'd also make a great sales person for sleeping pills...lol so long j-ten-ner
