Gravity is what causes rollovers, lol

Maybe my flight is delayed or cancelled, maybe not. Maybe my bags arrive, maybe not. Now days, I got better odds in Vegas. Also, It is my belief that when you go through TSA screening, at that moment you give up all civil rights.

Several decades back, I flew from Albq to Roswell on a small commuter called Mesa Airline that sat about 20, I think. There was no door on the cockpit, you could see and hear the pilots. The pilot was a lady (stop a clock good looking too) and the co-pilot was a man. I could hear them arguing...

When I go back home to Roswell (alien land) in June, if American screws up my flights again. I’ll call the mothership and have the freaking planet vaporized. Nothing personal.

American is the pits and what I’ve read, is rated near the bottom for punctuality and lost bags. A few years back when I was flying to NM, the lady at the ticket counter wanted my passport. I said I don’t need a passport to fly to New Mexico. She was insistent, I said “it’s the 47th freaking...

One reason why I pay to much to fly to Roswell NM is that the only airline that services Roswell is American, period. No other airline goes there and it’s a 2000 mile round trip by car. I don’t want to drive that. I was told that most airlines will not spring for a room if the cancellation is...

I have some friends that are trying to fly to Japan to see their son. They flew from Florida to Detroit. At Detroit they were told there was no pilot to fly the plane. They have been in Detroit for three days now. They get up every morning at 0400 and go to the terminal and wait and wait then go...

6013’s work well on thinner material, and need to run on DC straight polarity. Many folks don’t realize that switching your leads on the machine goes from DC reversed polarity to DC straight polarity. You get less penetration on straight polarity, hence better for thinner work. And 6013’s are...

Been a pipe welder for 30 years, there absolutely no reason to weld with AC unless you are TIG welding aluminum or magnesium. But new TIG welders don’t even need AC for that now. Arcs strike easier with DC too. There is a capacitor that goes bad and the arc is harder to strike On some machines...

I won’t own anything but Echo trimmers. My last one lasted for 15 years under heavy use. I just bought two new Echos, a SRM 225 which their lighter smaller trimmer but will still clear briars from a ditch and I bought a SRM 2620 which is an absolute beast. Stihl ain’t all that. Echo equipment is...

It’s the mothership tracking your every move. I hate that for ya.

What I always have in all my rides are jumper cables, duck tape, qt of oil, flashlight, rags, gloves and Bandaids, tape and gauze.

LPS #2 lubricant WD40 My Echo 2620 trimmer (the beast) My Mossberg 590

Also those products that say they can eliminate the ethanol from the gas is crap. If you get 10 gallons of 10% ethanol gas, that means that one gallon is ethanol. If those products did get rid of the ethanol, then you would end up with 9 gallons of gas. Which you don’t, so where did the ethanol...

Non ethanol 91 octane is everywhere up around me due to being near two rivers and a huge lake. Since most outboards need non ethanol fuel. Won’t use anything else in a two cycle engine. I also use Red Armor oil in my Echo trimmer and Husky chainsaw. The local small engine guy swears by Red Armor...

My gun time today was with my neighbor who had an old Mossberg 10 gauge shotgun with a 34 inch barrel. He let me shoot a few rounds with it. Keep in mind I weigh 135 lbs, geez this dang thing kicked me like a mule. He said it was considered a goose gun. I believe all you need is the birds...

What I see around me is folks hauling round bales with no rigging at all. I see round bales on the road and in the ditches all the time that have fallen off a trailer. One of my neighbors hit a round bale that fell off a truck with her car, damage to her car was extensive but luckily she had on...

When I bought my new JD mower, the salesman told me if I didn’t use JD oil I would void the warranty. I read the warranty and said nothing about having to use JD oil. Got 700 trouble free hours on my mower with nothing but Valvoline in it.

Great car, and wow the lady looks great too. She could make a man write bad checks.

That video has been photoshopped, that dark colored limb wasn’t there and then is. But old dead trees are widow makers for sure.

I use nothing else but Valvoline. The man that invented motor oil (Dr. John Ellis) founded the company of Valvoline. That’s good enough for me. “People who know, use Valvoline”

That is a tough thing to go through, I know that our pets/companions have feelings and emotions and are family. When I had to put ole Spanky down, I cried like a three year old. But I try to remember that the last thing she remembered was my warm touch, kind voice and loving touch. Don’t know if...

I agree about the dealer, I just bought a new Tacoma and had question about some things and the salesman was clueless, I asked the service manager and his advice was incorrect. Cars are too complicated, there is so much technology in a car that they have to add more technology to help with...

I have friend that has a late model Jaguar ( it’s a piece of crap by the way ) and in order to remove the battery you have to remove the left front wheel and inner wheel liner and the left front shock. A complete idiotic design.

I would love to take some of those auto engineers and put them one of those cars, take out the battery and tell them if you can’t get out of the car you are FIRED !!! In my Tacoma you can open locked driver’s door with the handle even if the battery is stone dead. I had no idea you could be...

After reading all this I now have a headache and am confused. Gonna have a cup of joe and laugh at today‘s Far Side cartoon.

As a pipe welder working on a new power plant. I was about 300 feet in the air on top of the boiler. It was in the single digits on the ground, the wind was blowing off the river too. Had to put my sandwiches inside my coveralls so they wouldn’t freeze. Don’t know what the windchill was that day...

Jethro Tull the author wrote several books on horse breeding, growing vegetation, ways to increase vineyard yields etc. Interesting coincidence that another post stated Ian Anderson aka Jethro Tull was a conservationist and large land owner in Scotland.

Agreed, my parents didn’t like my music and I didn’t like theirs. I don’t like much of the music from people much younger than me and they don’t like my tastes in music. The local classic rock station plays music that isn’t classic to me. I like Pink Floyd (the greatest rock band on the planet)...

I do have question though. I have heard about the devices you put on the front of your vehicle to prevent a person from hitting deer. I think it emits a tone of a certain frequency that deer will avoid. several folks told me they are useless, others say they work.

Yes, putting nitrogen in the tires is a scam. They don’t tell you about the nitrogen charge until you are sitting down to buy the vehicle. When I bought the Tacoma I saw the add ons for nitrogen, tinted windows, clear plastic trim on the door edges (which started peeling off in a couple of...

I put Seafoam in my mower when I put it to bed for the winter. I fill the tank plum to the top with non ethanol 93 octane and mix in some Sea-foam. High octane non ethanol is everywhere around me due to being close to a large lake and two rivers. Most folks run non ethanol in their boat motors...

Oh yeah, I remember that, during the ***** ***** era. I didn’t turn in any clunkers for cash cause if I did I wouldn’t have any thing to drive, lol.

It‘s possible the government gave the manufacturers covid money to trash those trucks. But I’m sure, even if they got money, all they did was take them back to the plant and reuse the parts. But I wouldn’t put past our current prez to fund that screw up cause he is a special kind of stupid.

Are you taking advantage of the Homestead Act which $375 is taken off the property tax total each and every year ?

Ordering a vehicle online is already here with some dealers, like Cadillac and BMW.

Dang !!!, I need to quit whinning. Here in ArKansas I pay property tax (house and land) each year and personal property tax (which means cars). Both of those taxes together comes to about $375 each year for me. Sales tax is a separate one time tax for the vehicle. The bad thing is if I sell a...

Agreed, they put so much technology in vehicles that they have to add more technology to help with the distractions from the technology. I had a 1979 Chevy stepside (last year of the wooden bed) that I bought new for $6700. I had 418,000 on it but it got stolen early last year and was found a...

Wow, you made me curious to look again at the Kentucky Speedway where I saw all those trucks parked and the trucks are gone. That sounds insane to scrap all those F150’s. Crazy world we live in.

My new Tacoma was made in San Antonio TX. I’ve been a GM man most of my life but didn’t want one now cause their engines have Active Fuel Management which shuts down cylinders. They are having terrible problems with that. I think Ford finally stopped putting auto shut off in their trucks from...

What irked me the most was here in Arkansas I had to pay the 7% new car sales tax, sales tax and tags came to $2980, dang !!! Don’t what the % is in other states though, maybe I got off easy.

I looked at the new Tundras and they are nice and will pull a house off the foundation but too much truck for my use. Just got one small trailer to pull and the Tacoma has ample room for what I need. The prices for new trucks are what they are, even if the availability gets better, the price...

Yes it is expensive. Bottom line Tacoma’s start at around $32,000, I got the Limited which is the loaded version. I priced New Silverado’s starting at around $52,000, new F150‘s started at around $52,000- $54,000. Heck a new Cadillac Escalade is about $110,000 - $125,000. I have the same...

Like I said in an earlier post, the salesman that sold me my Tacoma said things will never go back to pre-covid at the dealerships. Two car salesman at church told me the same thing, and they love it. Why wouldn’t they, they get an order for cars and trucks that is coming in and most of time...

Echo Speed Feed heads are the best thing since sliced bread. And they will fit almost and brand of trimmer too. Wouldn’t use anything else.

Ha, yes I have an air compressor. And I drive somewhat around the speed limit and not like Mark Martin at Daytona, lol. It just irked me to add on a cost for nitrogen in the tires. But I wanted the truck, so there you have it. I’ve worked hard my whole life and just retired and wanted a new...

I bought a new Tacoma last Oct. I waited about 3 months for one to come in I wanted. It came with stuff on it I really wouldn’t have asked for. Like a tonneau recover ($600) and $120 for nitrogen in the tires, $200 for mud guards. But if you want the truck, there it is, if not I’ll call the...

Well what ya’know. Mohammad from Iran damages a power station in the states. Hmmmmmm, let me think for a minute what his real motive was.

Maybe it was a terroristic attack, no telling how many lay in the waiting in this country. No telling how many walked across the Mexican border too. After all the southern border is like a screen door on a submarine.

Yikes, where is the closest ER ? Just before the ambulance was called he said “hold my beer and watch this”
