Better than the old one. I hated the Kia oval. Too much like Ford. I know there was a connection between the two companies years ago.

I remember the first one. They had dinner rolls then. Not biscuits.

What if I told you the world's first KFC isn't even in Kentucky, but is ~1,500 miles west of Kentucky?

Growing up in New Jersey in the (60s -70s)we got our KFC at a place called Genos. Just like McDonald’s with the chicken. The name probably has to do with the seasoning more than the location. Just like around here in Texas. Anything with Louisiana in its name has to do with seasoning, usually on the hot side.

How about designing a new logo. Of course I am referring to GM's new logo! I am really worried about GM, have they totally lost it?

That’s what happens when working from home and eLearning are combined. Art project for school turned into a new corporate logo [emoji23]

I am compelled to disagree with the logic here only. The current American Flag design started out as a school project. The teacher graded the design with a C and told the student it'll never be that design. This motivated the kid to petition Congress to adopt his design. They did. He then went back to the teacher that gave him a C, and that teacher improved the grade to an A. Just goes to show educators can be the problem.

I have a love/hate relationship with my kids learning at home online. I love that I get to set the record straight in terms of history, civics, social science, etc. I hate that I don't get any freedom and have some of my own personal time.

Here's dumb.
The news/weatherman over reacting to a little snow. It seems since last March, everything that happens is "epic". Or unprecedented, I hate that word
They were predicting 8" +.
We got a few inches of wet snow since noon yesterday and they think it's treacherous.
Looks wet to me. Be careful. Better stay home.[emoji24][emoji24][emoji23][emoji44]c1abbbb6b94ab6ee0572287080e32699.jpg

You know how it is now. If something is not perfect and great then its doomsday end of the world. I mean according to the media the world should have ended in explosion dozens of times already.

I drove over 500 miles the past two days for work through the snow.

 

If I lived far southeast or southwest of the Twin Cities you couldn't go anywhere because of wind gust and blowing snow but the rest was just fine.

Here in NY they are throwing away vaccines everyday. They are packaged in an allotted amount and once taken out they must be used in an hour. People sign up then not show up so they throw them away. About the mixing of vaccines, don’t think that’s capable. I’ve heard that they may only give one dose of Pfizer vaccine because they’re saying it’s effective enough. I’ve been offered but refuse to take it. If my kids are ever forced then I will take it first. Otherwise, no sir. I know many people who’ve received the modern a vaccine. Everyone had a sore arm which is a given. Some have had covid already and said they felt almost as bad as when the had covid where others had nothing but a sore arm as mentioned.
 
I’m so relieved that cuomo wants to suddenly start opening after destroying this state. Now he wants to legalize marijuana as well. Here’s another Derp. The ny attorney general is suing the police for their response to the protests. GTFOH

This is really stupid. Pfizer's vaccine must be used within 5 days after coming out of cold storage. Throwing them away after 1 hour is really stupid, and a giant waste of taxpayer money. Is New York trying to compete with California for wasting the most taxpayer money?

Lets not talk about how bad the wind gets down there.
This was on U.S. 52 just south of Preston about 5 years ago.
Spun the truck around 180.
Probably a 70-75 mph gust , trailer was empty.
I almost rolled it , it was up on the 2 drivers side wheels.0c8c8b13a45b8e542e2395a15a447edc.jpg

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
