Well...now that football season is over it is time to get out of the house. My hubby bought a new GPS unit about 4 weeks ago and he discovered a site called

geocaching.com.

It is too cool.

What people do is create cool treasures for you to go find, they post the coordinates on the site and you go find it with your GPS. You can find caches in your area and when you find them you sign the log then go to the site and tell about your treasuring hunting experience.

I have found a new hobby. It's a fun thing to do on a Sunday afternoon. Me. my hubby and son just leave the house and take off. We have found about half of the ones in our neighborhood. You need to check out the site. People have REALLY gotten into this. You can buy Travel Bugs and it is a "dog tag" which is numbered. You can track it's journey though the country.

I can go on all day about this hobby, but I won't...just check it out.

:cheers:

Figured I bring up an old post. I just started doing this with my droid phone. pretty cool. Only thing that sucks is living in a metro area, I have to drive 45 mins one way to find some trails. There plenty of hidden stuff here but who wants to go to a mall parking lot to find an item.

Yeah I've done it a few times. Makes a good excuse to go for a motorcycle ride. Nice to have the Droid with me to do it too.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
