I read earlier the AF was flying planes out of OK like they do when hurricanes move in other places.

You two are just over the hill kids. I keep adjusting middle age upward.

That's fine if you plan the right in-bed activities.

I spent something over ten years working on ASME standards. When I headed a working group, my intentions were always require only what needs to be, be as precise and concise in stating what is required as possible, and look for any way that someone could misinterpret. It always goes off the...

My brother was stationed in Montana and returned with a bunch of NoDak (North Dakota) jokes - pretty much along the line of other old ethnic jokes. Anyway you reminded me of one. A guy added indoor plumbing and decided to rent his old outhouse for $4/month. He got an offer from a S Dakota guy...

And he's probably off his meds again, too.

Yep. A German Ford with the most contorted cooling system you can imagine. And the drive shaft had an extra joint which made replacing a clutch by yourself on of the most frustrating things ever. Trying to hold up the middle while getting the splines aligned and in the transmission and the...

Hope it's really nothing major. I've been thinking about that, but haven't gotten into my car innards in several years - so a bit out of practice. A lot of years ago while driving a car hard up a long grade (before check engine lights were a thing), the car suddenly lost power and really...

Interesting that they didn't do stents through the vein (TAVR). I had two that way - from the wrist rather than the groin. Was far easier than the open heart surgery for the first aortic valve replacement - the second almost twenty years later was by TAVR. Gotta tell you that coughs and...

And traffic light creepers. The ones that stop a couple of car lengths back and creep up while sitting out the light. I generally just let it happen without filling in the gap unless somebody in another lane wants to fill the gap ... really annoying if you drive a manual.

Flex cuffs, bungee cords, a sledge, and an axe ... no tarp? Just what did the guy (or gal) do to you anyway?

Well it's there for the next time I use it ... but then I'm the only person using my microwave.

Last week a boy probably Jr High age stopped by and asked about mowing. The yard certainly needed it. He was very polite and professional in his pitch, so I told him we'd give it a try. He offered to do the front that day, but said why don't we wait until he could do the whole yard ... and I...
