How do you know they're dead?

I went and saw it yesterday. I can't say I liked it but I didn't hate it, either. Yeah, it's about fossil fuels and greed and climate change but I never felt like the movie was preaching to me. There were too many humorous elements for me to take that message seriously. Very well acted with...

So I'm working on my car. It needs a new oil pan gasket but in the process of disassembling the front suspension I notice it's also going to need a new lower ball joint. I find a replacement on Rock Auto and get it ordered up but I also need a removal/installation tool so I look at various...

I used to go shooting with these old codgers, before I became one myself, out in the AZ desert and they would tell me about riding horses to school when they were kids, something I thought would have been cool as I had to walk to my grade school. They grew up hating those animals because every...

The psychedelic pop artist Peter Max has died at 88 And yes, before you ask, I grew up in the 60s.

I celebrated my first anniversary that year.

No. If the glasses are properly fitted when you get them, and that needs to be patiently done, you naturally look through the prescription part of the lens. The non-prescription part is difficult to locate with your eyes. For me, I need to try and strain to look through the "wrong" part of the...

I had a station wagon back in the day when my daughter was just a few years old and she would sit up front on the bench seat between my wife and I. I would close my right eye, keeping my left eye open, and tell her I was driving with my eyes closed. She thought it was so amazing that I was able...

Notorious O.L.D.

I'm driving this morning to the park where I want to go bike riding and the road I'm on turns into a construction zone with cones everywhere, a lower speed limit, and 3x fines. I slow down but this guy behind me, probably pissed that I'm in the left lane going slow, shoots around me on the right...

When you first get progressives you will find you have to turn your head a lot to keep your eyes within the viewing area of the lenses. You can’t keep your head still and shift your eyes to the side to see something clearly on your left, for instance. You need to turn your head in that...

Saw this yesterday. The guy did a phenomenal job of portraying Michael Jackson and the movie was well crafted, with a crescendo up until the end. I was in a small but modern theater and although it didn’t have the high tech vibrating seats, the place still shook. It was a blast. Would recommend.

Is putting Angry Eyes on your Jeep any more silly than making a car that can already exceed the speed limit, even faster?

NASCAR Celebrates Pride Month With First All-Subaru Race

They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band It ain't what they call rock and roll -Dire Straits

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.
