  1. He went to the hospital for an illness. They said he wouldn’t be racing Sunday. He won a race just days ago. Recently he’s been complaining about a sinus problem. We’ve yet to be told what claimed his life.
  2. Some vehicles only have touch pads to control their Ac, heat. Looking over while driving over one mile per minute could be hazardous to life. A good climate control system eliminates that. I have three different vehicles with automatic climate control. They work well. As far as a building it be pretty hard to wreck a building, it doesn’t move. Vehicles do. I rarely have to adjust my AC.
  3. RIP. You just never know.
  4. The down on automatic people would probably lose their mind if they found out the AC comes on with defrost.
  5. Some people love their vehicles. My wife says unless I can find a low mileage replica. A new engine, transmission or paint job is going to happen with her car if necessary. It’s a high mileage cream puff worth about 6K. The new replacement is about 60K. So a 10K engine and transmission replacement, no problem.
  6. They said they had enough to make 11 nukes at the last meeting before the event started. And they weren’t giving up the uranium. Another miss for you. Enough from me for now.
  7. It’s quite amusing even though the proof of continued enrichment is in front of your eyes. You fail to connect the dots. What proof you say? The refusal to sign a document that says you can’t produce nuclear grade material. Even when faced with total destruction. Well you say there once was a deal. Well they cheated. The difference now is the technology is better. They can’t get away with cheating. They know it. So now they say they have a right to produce weapons grade material. They admitted they could produce weapons in days or weeks just prior to the conflict. Connect the dots or not. This isn’t political it’s been said for decades. The difference is they admitted to being days or weeks from making a nuclear weapon. It’s been known. It happened to hit critical mass at this time. They admit intentions. They kill anyone who’s not submissive with no regard. And people complain about a temporary jump in gas prices? Connect the dots. Do I think I’ll change any minds. No. Why? TDS.
  8. Funny observation from an old guy. My wife’s hearing is waning a bit. I have an advantage because I lost half my hearing due to a high temperature situation at seven years old. Higher sounds mostly. The advantage is I can read lips and I don’t get stuck on not hearing one or two words. I wait until the sentence is fully spoken, I usually can figure it out. My wife gets stuck on a word. She misses a word, stop the truck she’s saying what? I say let the sentence finish. She’s learning conversations can be challenging. Close caption is always on now. That leaves me to a pet peeve. Why can’t the networks get the timing down? I understand a little delay for live shows. Sometimes it off by several seconds. We usually watch recorded shows it’s usually no problem there and you can skip the commercials.
  9. I thought you could connect the dots. I try to spell it out slowly. On second thought I’m not going to waste my time. How Is. That?
  10. Compliance? What are you smoking? So you think the underground enrichment facility was built since 2018 and producing weapons grade uranium? Keep on smoking.
  11. That person said yes. I can research any model from any manufacturer. They all have model years that have flaws or failures. Some extend warranties. Some try to ignore hope people would grow tired and move on. The choices are buy new extend the warranty. Research 5 year old vehicles see who has the least complaints. I’ve done both. I had one failure warranty covered it.
  12. It’s wound be easy to end with complete destruction. A pause is to save lives. And to convince people who look for anything negative. That everything was tried. Of course we can continue to do it the old way and take our chances that they wouldn’t completely destroy the world because we aren’t fit to live according to their teachings. I choose patience pay a little more for gas. And then send them back to the Stone Age. Because that’s they want to do to us. Just in case you haven’t been listening.
  13. 200$ on the horizon? Sorry I’m an optimist.
  14. My brother hosted a graduation party for his granddaughter. He has a nice pool setup in his backyard. As usual we got around to our daily driver’s. Up until five years ago they were chasing me. Bench racing of course. In our younger days we did go to a track locally. My wife was close by with a big smile on her face because of the familiarity of it all. The old days it was my father and uncle’s. Same topic different generation. After retirement I changed hobbies. Playing cards at the casino is much cheaper. The biggest difference instead of building they’re buying. My brother drives an F-150 super snake and his son a raptor r. The shop Forman had a TRX. He recently smoked them with a regular cab f-150 they called a sleeper truck. Evidently it’s a thing and dealer backed with warranty. A regular ford with several supercharger packages to choose from. Complete packages starting in the low 50k. Both my brother and nephew said they should have went that route since the wow factor had since past . Looking at me with that we finally best you look. And saying how about that minivan Stan. My wife had the look of OH No not again. Knowing we’re going home in a ridgeline. I said well times have changed. Where can you use that power? Does it feel any different at 70 MPH? I did research a bit come Monday into those sleeper trucks. It didn’t conjure up the same excitement. At least at this time.
  15. I was just passing on information from a supposedly knowledgeable source. If I was still buying every two- three years for work. I would probably buy one as long as I could cover it with warranty. I always had spares just in case.
  16. I have 3 different brands with Automatic climate control. They work. I find myself making very few adjustments. Even my old Avalanche works well as long as the Freon is right. As hot as it gets here it adjust high automatically turns on max air. And adjust down when temperature settings are reached. Some vehicles don’t have dials anymore. Looking over going a mile a minute to make adjustments could be hazardous to your health. Especially when you’re paying attention to your phone at the same time. I don’t like it when I’m dodging people heading to my lane who can’t multitask. Long live climate control.
  17. I have enough battery powered yard tools that I would wear out before I run out of batteries. Now when I worked doing ROWs we used nothing but gas powered trimmers and chainsaws. I got tired of hearing the noise. My tractors were noisy even though they had cabs. My trucks had loud exhaust. I wanted to hear stuff work. High powered custom stereos, nothing but noise. Suddenly when I hit 60 I had enough. No loud mufflers, no noisy yard equipment. It’s amazing listening to music that isn’t loud with ears that aren’t beat to death from noise. My trip vehicles have sound deadening my life is serine. It’s amazing how you can go from one extreme to another.
  18. I just paid 7.80 for Max life at Walmart.
  19. 3.67 Murphy @ Walmart in Montgomery Tx
  20. You use to be able to drop a gear to lock it out. People used to do that until they were on the interstate. Some never would up shift. I used a tuner.
  21. I’ve only recently 10 years have tried to get the most use out of a vehicle. My wife on the other hand has always done that. I’m a vehicle addict. Never satisfied until recently. A minivan a midsize truck seems to be the ticket. Replacing those only with another only when the others die. It helps that my wife has a sports sedan and a sports car. There’s no reason to change. I still look every day. A good buy who knows.
  22. Some people stay in California until retirement. Sell their house move to Texas. They buy a new house for half the money and live off the rest. Interesting what you learned on your daily walks.
  23. My mower is the only yard, garden appliance I don’t have a battery powered replacement. I spent a lifetime listening to 2stroke powered yard equipment. It is rather annoying. I almost bought one when Home Depot had them on sale. Instead I bought a cub cadet. I wear earphones anyway.
