Saw this today. Enjoyed it. Well paced, interesting story. Brendan Fraser was heavier than I the Eisenhower I remember but he played the part well. Definitely a more likeable character than G.C.Scott's Patton. Except for Montgomery, I wasn't familiar with the other historical figures. The two...

Gene Shalit, ‘Today’ show movie critic, dies at 100

Went through this many years ago with my daughter over handwriting and the new way to form letters. I’m convinced it was merely a way to drive a wedge between her and me; her teacher was right and her mom and I were wrong.

My 2006 Dynamax dragging my 2005 Jeep. Southwest ID along the Snake River.

First off, if they were annoyed, they were annoyed by a rule that was put in place to keep kids safe and I was just following. I didn’t make up and I wasn’t going to get fired for disobeying it. Secondly, Iddoitagain.jpg Unless things changed in the 12 years since I moved away, there is no...

Sedona, AZ

Payback. 99% of the drivers in that town were tourists and they constantly made life miserable for full time residents. Double parking, driving below the speed limit, sudden stops for sightseeing, etc. This was an opportunity to fuck with them. That’s all.

When I drove a school bus we were not allowed to turn right on red. Used to piss off a lot of folks stacked up behind me. Loved it.

It's funny that they use the Ford F-150 Lightening, a car with a 3-year production run, as an example of what Stellantis should have done.

No, running hot or cold was secondary to just plain running. I just put the factory recommended plugs in and some Chinesium coils.

Speaking of Jeeps, my new to me $3500 Jeep took a dump getting on the freeway a few days ago with some loud bangs and I had to limp back home. CEL got lit so I read the codes. Misfire on cylinder 2, bad coil circuit in cylinders 1,2,3,5&6. Five coils don't suddenly fail so I pull the plug on...

I'd put some version of this down before I'd epoxy a garage floor. LINK Lots of companies make it in different colors. Easy install, long lasting, washable.

Rock band Traffic co-founder Dave Mason dies at 79

No kidding. That front timing cover job was quoted at $1900. I hear you except once upon a time I had a 1993 Grand Cherokee that was very reliable. I know Jeeps/Chrysler are not known for that.

My wife has always preferred a manual transmission. It's a long story but the gist of it is, I inherited her Hyundai Accent 6-speed after she got her present FIAT 500 5 speed. I don't like manual transmissions. Yeah, I can drive one, I just don't like to. So, I bought this. It's a 2005 Jeep...

Unplug the spark plug wire before you tip that thing over and stick your hand where the blade is.

I want to upgrade my phone. Verizon will only give me a free upgrade if I add a phone line. I don't need 3 phone lines for 2 people. What's the point? I get the feeling this will bite me on the ass at some future date.

Not sure what you're asking. We store left-overs or things we've made a bunch of for later use. You can store these items in regular plastic bags if you're going to use them in a day or two, but if you're going to freeze them for a long time, they will last longer in Foodsaver bags because...

We've used the FoodSaver brand for years. I think we get a new one every 10 years or so. We're on our third one; they don't last forever. However, our current one is marketed more towards hunters and is called a GameSaver. It's still made by Foodsaver but seems a little more robust. It has...

Country Joe McDonald

That was the year my mother was born. Same year as this.

Meh. I saw this movie trippin' on acid.

I was looking for something else and this showed up

I was thinking, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers".

Neil Sedaka, the singer-songwriter behind dozens of hits of the 1960s and ‘70s, dies at age 86

Bud Cort

Whippersnappers, all of ya.

...when you post this picture in response to this picture and nobody makes the connection. And to make matters worse, the guy in the middle, Chuck Negron, died last week at the age of 83.

If you go to the paint dept in a place like Lowes, there will be a lot of small fold-out pamphlets filled with pictures of rooms and exteriors all in color coordinated themes. They'll have titles like "Coastal" and that one will have pictures of rooms and houses painted in colors evoking the...

My bride made sourdough English muffins. Fucking Yum.

Michael Reagan, son of President Ronald Reagan, dead at 80

It’s for hanging earrings. My wife has three of those racks in that bathroom, not all of them full. It’s just sitting there in that picture waiting for me to hang it on the wall.

Towel warmer. Put a towel in it, push a button and when you step out of the shower you have toasty towel.

Thanks. Truthfully, I don’t get it either. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of baths I took in that old corner tub but it was installed so poorly, it had to go and I got that $850 freestanding unit for $350. I will probably never use it but it looks sexy.

Old shower. Notice old crooked tile. New tiled shower with thermostatically controlled valve.
