im not i pull my truck down in our backyard (of our cottage) down by the lake.  Put some chairs in the bed and fish from back there.  At night the rear cargo light is awesome.  Roll the windows down and play some music.

In two 500 mile trips to Wyoming, via Utah,  in the last 10 days, I've seen gas prices go up 5-10 cents a gallon.  Hope everyone has a safe and not too costly, holiday weekend!

I'm back from Party Cove alive.

The one night I was the sober Chaufeur, I got rearended leaving the bar.  

I did manage to cut my foot open on the prop of a boat.  I got 8 stitches and the doctor in the ER told me I couldn't get back in the water so I was to sit on the back of the boat and drink beer.  I followed his directions until I couldn't see straight.

**** that sucks

Sounds like my weekend.  I cut grass at our cottage.  Me and my dad were talking and i was standing on some RR ties next to the lake.  I forgot there was a bee nest in there.  Well next thing i know my dad says watch out.  Didnt help i got stung a few times on my achilles tendon.  Swelled up pretty bad.  Pain went straight to the bone.  After a few days only itching remains.  Never been stung in 21 yrs that ^*#(%# Hurt.

Your lucky your not allergic to them.. My allergies are bad enough that 1 sting could kill me if i didnt get my medication..  I ve been stung once in my life *knock on wood* i just hope it stays that way..  And of course what helps me even more is when your stung your supposed to take penicillen *SP* and of course i m allergic to that as well..  Oh well

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
