I get my kicks riding my 650cc ATV. Jetted carb, non stock exhaust and modified air box. 

Be careful Brother we almost lost another couple up here when they lost the 4 wheeler.

I turned on the television this morning to watch the Queen's funeral.   I thought it would serve as background but it is hard to take my eyes off this event!  It is incredible spectacle and a most fitting tribute.  There are a few historic events that will be permanently etched in my memory, and this will be one of them!

Christ was wrapped and buried before sunset with but a small number. I mentioned this to the wife as she absorbed the Queens death and funeral of 11 days. Her reply? 

 

"The Brits didn't bury Christ". 

 

Yes Dear.

My congresswoman who I shared in the video above stated that; if Jesus had owned an AR15 he might have not been crucified.......doubt Boobert knows who the Queen is....LOL

Nor does she know or respect the power of angles.

 

Matthew 26:52,53 Records Christ words during his arrest when Peter defended him with sword:   

 

 

Then Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword.  Or do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father to supply me at this moment more than 12 legions of angels?

 

She has no idea how powerful a single angle is? 2 Kings 19:35: 

 

And that night Jehovah’s angel went out and killed a hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp: the first thing in the morning they were all found dead corpses. 

 

A single angel killed 185,000 Assyrian solders in the course of an evenings work. 

 

A Roman Legion In the first century was 6,000 per legion.

Christ could call for 12 Legions! It was allot of angels. 72,000 of them.

Not interested in the Queens death. Tired of the coverage.

I’ve noticed in my life time anytime we disregard history or reasonable laws we’re usually worse off. From what I’m able to see she brought  joy during her time. If only more people could be as honorable as she was.

Well it's either that or mainstream American media might have to actually discuss issues facing our nation!

Our dog has caught up to us in age.  Her age-related aches and pains are expensive and creates a huge pain in our budget!   Don't forget Princess when planning future activities.   You may be tough, but a loyal and loving pet in their time of need can have you spending a lot of money in medical care!

Sometimes your at hoot. Everyone has a budget. You wouldn’t buy a 500K house on a 50K salary. Of course as you get older it’s gets ingrained. So as far as a written down budget that usually goes away. So does wasteful spending.

I make a deal with my pets.

 

I won't take one second of life from you that you wish to live.

I won't make you live one second longer than you wish.

 

That deal, for me, does not have a price. That doesn't mean I'd be unwise. He needs a knee at 12 he gets it. He has liver cancer....nite-nite sweet prince.

By budget I mean back in the day we had to stick to a budget to pay bills, not now. So I don't have a budget today and buy whatever we want. Is there a limit, sure couldn't buy a Lamborghini but I could buy a nice vehicle. 

So the term budget varies.

Your deal is sound but not easily kept!   Twenty years ago we agreed to no more pets because of the tough times when the end is part of the discussion.    This agreement didn't last long and here we are again!   My default position is Princess wants to live and money will not unduly influence this position.

We’ve always had little dogs. Sometimes 2. The last had distemper. We got it from the shelter as usual. I’m glad I didn’t know the original care taker, I would have hurt the ….. I don’t know why people get pets that don’t care for them. The poor little thing was suffering but was always wagging it’s tail definitely wanted to live. The shelter had some meds to try, the vet said it’s days were numbered. Now 4 years later with only a few teeth and a tick that never stops. She the most loving happiest dog we’ve ever had. When my wife picks up the little spoiled animal it actually hugs her neck. I’m actually animal tolerant my wife is the animal lover. I’m actually kinda attach to this one. Although I don’t let on. Strangely the dog has a club. It will try to tare  you up if you enter her territory with out proper introduction. It’s funny to watch knowing it couldn’t bite though a sock. Saying that there is a limit to expense versus quality of life. We’re not going to spend the kids inheritance on a animal. I know it may sound cold there’s always another that needs a good home. Even though it may not be as special like this one to a non animal lover like me.

    • Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"
    • Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.    
    • Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
    • This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
