    USPS strikes again!

    I love the fact that it went to CO, to AR, and back to CO. Oops! :lol:

    USPS strikes again!

    It's not just USPS. Tracking an order from the neighboring State Portland OR, 1.5 hours driving distance from home, the UPS package went to to The East Coast and basically toured the US before I got it 2 weeks later. I wasn't in a hurry so I just enjoyed the comedy of it.

    Tip of the iceberg?

    Luckily they have very few of them around here, and I avoid them. I mostly run into them on road trips out of state and have found "mute" on some, but not all. It's still incredibly annoying!

    Tip of the iceberg?

    I already want to take my jack handle to the gas pumps that have ads. I record everything I watch on TYV so I can skip the ads. I cannot imagine being subjected to it in my own vehicle. Any car company that will try and sell me a car with ads with not be getting my business.

    What other hobbies do you have

    I've eliminated a handful of old hobbies over the years: Guitar, mountain biking, 1/25 models cars to name a few. I also sold my motorcycle, which was really more than a hobby as it was my daily commuter for over a decade. I still carve tikis out of logs, hike, go to trivia night at the...

    I just finished painting my first red personal car this last summer. It's not even together yet and already feels fast.

    Imagine one of the new breed of kid drivers doing what Petty is doing!!!

    Today's youth wear pajama bottoms in public just like Petty's slacks. I guess some things come back around, but i doubt physical work will be one of them.

    Have You Been Employed in the Food Industry?

    Uncle Google says more than 50% of us worked in the food industry at one point in our lives. Maybe you still do even? At any rate, tell me your story! Me? I worked as a dishwasher in a Chinese restaurant for under a year in high school. I was the only guy in the kitchen that spoke english other...

    74 RV 440 acquired.

    As previously said, don't do anything until you assess the engine. Start with a compression test. That will give you a good idea if the valves and/or rings/cylinders are worth doing anything in the short-term. If compression is uneven, then I'd take the heads off to investigate more. If...

    8 year old new tires.

    Another tire you could look at is the Milestar Streetsteel. They are in the same class as the BFG and Cooper Cobra and less expensive than both. I just put a new set on driver Charger and they are ok. I only say that because they perform fine - I'm just not thrilled with the name and visual...

    8 year old new tires.

    Not sure why you are running such a small tire as 225/60 anyway. You have a lot more room in the wheel wells to fill up, get better traction, etc. Depending on what wheels you have, I'd go bigger.

    8 year old new tires.

    Ditch 'em. Coopers Cobras are a little less expensive and have a nicer looking tread IMO.

    This fricken old age is getting old....

    When they said "you might live to be 80" they never told you that the last 20 years is going to be a battle. You have to change some habits and just make the most of it. Good luck!
