I'm a man of pet peeves. One of those is I get irritated when I go to spend a wad of cash, and no one posts to take it. I called the transmission shop - twice. The first time to get a ballpark for fixing a leaky seal. That came to $1250 to start. I … Continue reading Nope. Not Doing It.

That’ll Leave a Mark
The hoopty’s been smoking lately. I notice it more when I pull up at a light after being on the highway. An acrid smoke will waft up from under the hood. Not quite an oil smell, more like plastic. I’ve broken my ass trying to figure it out. Turns out, it’s transmission fluid. What appears … Continue reading That’ll Leave a Mark
Old Enough to Know Better…
Too Cool to Care. Saw that image and line on a greeting card and cracked up. That will be my motto.
Happy Fathers Day
YOUR FATHER'S WORDS were never just advice, they were echoes of battles he'd already fought and a guide to paths he hoped you'd walk without the scars he carried. I used to give advice to my kids all the time, most of it unwanted. A lot of it when 'celebrating'. I'm sorry. Those of us … Continue reading Happy Fathers Day
A Day of Infamy
It was two years ago, I had to put Jethro down. It was a dark, dark day that went well into the night, roughly two weeks after having my soul curb-stomped. It was the first time I found myself on the floor weeping. I didn't do that when the old lady left a few weeks … Continue reading A Day of Infamy
Here We Go Again
I stumbled upon this on PJW's Channel: https://youtu.be/zBYgISZbNso?si=QqNCLpgC2xxMD34N I'll give you a summary: She's considering divorcing her husband, who she's known for 20 years, because he doesn't do his fair share of household chores, like taking the trash out. She has to tell him. If he forgets, she badgers him. For instance, one day he … Continue reading Here We Go Again
They’re at it again.
Found over at Filthie's place - Harley's new effort. Ya gotta feel bad for the guys at Harley Davidson. The Japs build a better Harley than they do and can put it on the market at - at least 30 - 35 points less. Harley’s been hijacked at several points in their company history by … Continue reading They’re at it again.
He’s Right, of Course
I really enjoy Tack Room Bible Talk, on the YouTubes. Usually, he'll cover a concept, or passage and spend a bit of time fending off the various Pharisees. He'll say, it's not about dogma. He's only interpreting the word. Last week, he veered away from the bible and had a chat for the women. https://youtu.be/XpOLgUZ2yTE?si=AEPhBteVfF4zN5iq … Continue reading He’s Right, of Course
A $33K Chevette?
Someone bought a Chebbie Chevette for $33K. EPAutos.com Would you pay $33,000 for a 1987 Chevy Chevette? Apparently, someone just did. It’s got low miles – just 47 – so it’s basically a brand-new 1987 Chevette. But nonetheless, a 1987 Chevette. It weighed about 2,000 lbs. because it came with not much more than a … Continue reading A $33K Chevette?
Resolutions?
It was an interesting New Years. One of the things you'll notice during some holidays in Texas is a certain amount of happy fire. In Plano, that sound would be far off. You'd hear a distinct series of reports, all clipped, in an evenly spaced 6, 7, or 15 pattern. Clearly not firecrackers. So you'd … Continue reading Resolutions?
