Every Morning. At least I have one female that looks at me adoringly in the morning.

Gonna Miss Those Flush Toilets
Phil over at BustedKnuckles had a piece on us old farts leaving the workforce and, by and large, not being replaced. He's 100% right as usual. You can not tell me that they weren’t pencil whipping all of the calibrations and required maintenance schedules at that point because we could barely keep up with all … Continue reading Gonna Miss Those Flush Toilets
Here We Go Again
Now that the conventions are over, the bands and singers are kvetching that their music was used over the sound systems. Seems ok when democrats do it. Republicans? Notsomuch. They weren't asked, so a hissy is in order. The latest few are Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and Beyonce. It's the same thing every … Continue reading Here We Go Again

Odds & Ends
Been a busy week, as usual. We had a 'cold front' come through that knocked the temperature down from 100+ to low 90s. It was glorious. It's tough running at 100 degrees. I've over done it every day this week and wound up sore each night. I saw a post on that useless NextDoor app, … Continue reading Odds & Ends
TowRolla update
Don't know why I can't get the TowRolla out of my head. Who doesn't like a beater Toyota? So I've been idly searching eBay and Craigslist. I found one likely candidate: Not a too terrible deal. I think it's in Orange County CA though. But what caught my eye in the search results were these … Continue reading TowRolla update
I Need Me a Towrolla
Lately, in my head is the idea to build a tow-rolla: Found on Puddin's Fab Shop, on the youtubes. https://youtu.be/aQpoBhPrIGw?si=8KTY5Rx51ox0Hmkq Damn those cars are tough. He's been pulling and pushing cars with it like a tractor. The ATF? Looking Ok. almost normal. Did you read that famous Craigslist ad? Let me tell you a story. … Continue reading I Need Me a Towrolla

Is the coast clear? Winston checks to see if the evil vacuum is gone.
Underpowered & Underweight
The monster truck needed maintenance. Normally, I change the oil, check/fill the fluids, and lube at 3000 miles. It's a habit, even though I'm using synthetic and can go longer. In this case, nearly 5K. Problem is, it's hot as shit in the evenings when I have time to do this. No matter. Had to … Continue reading Underpowered & Underweight
Packing Heat at the Fair
Big doings around here. The city of Dallas, or rather the people running the Texas State Fair have decreed that no one shall pack heat whilst they eat funnel cakes at the fair. By the way, I tried to find a piece at Dallas Morning News, but it was behind a paywall, of course. The … Continue reading Packing Heat at the Fair
