    I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

    It's been nine years since I retired -a couple of years early- and have found that it was actually a few years later than I should have. After all those years playing with my toys and hobbies in-between working to pay for them was becoming upside-down as far as satisfaction is concerned. I now...

    Tools Explained

    A significant drawback to this type of rachet is the need to remove it from the fastener to reverse it. In some tight spots it could get trapped making it difficult to remove. The first time I encountered an overrunning clutch (exploring a torqueflight problem) my initial thought was it would...

    I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

    I am the sort that likes to stay busy and now that I'm retired I have freedom to enjoy the many projects that were put on hold while I prepared to enjoy independent freedom to play.

    "Please S T O P saying this" thread.

    My ears catch stuff "like" you no- -monotone with up tone pauses with every phrase/fraze? Also what's up with -for example- the word phonetic. Why is it --of all words- spelled rong?? And liquids SOAK into absorbent materials as opposed to being "absorbed into" the material. When one uses...

    2023 Dodge Demon 170 Last Call

    My understanding is they are talking about build sequence number not the entire Vin. Example--- if one had number ten built of a red eye demon they would make your order the tenth of the 170s to be built.

    2023 Dodge Demon 170 Last Call

    I was considering that same thing. My investments are barely holding value against inflation and are not particularly enjoyable to play with. One of these cars could be a good substitute for a market investment and be much more fun at the same time.

    My daughter's cat is a cold-blooded killer!

    Had a cat in the family when I was a kid that loved June bugs. She would bring them into the house and bat them around until they stopped making noises and go get another to continue.

    "Please S T O P saying this" thread.

    And the result/evolution of the meaning of being "fact check" has lost meaningful value. -A fact now is an assumption. And everyone has a "fact" that they eliminate daily from the sources that fed them.

    "Please S T O P saying this" thread.

    Please stop saying that- "It has been fact-checked"--Nonsense can never be vindicated just by arbitrary dismission.

    Driving Skill training for a special need.

    This is a five-year-old clip of unique drive training in a big car that a friend just sent me. EEK- I have trouble with my backup cam and the distorted perspective review mirrors. My friend also thinks this is a fake video.- Is he right?

    Scam Callers.

    I'm convinced that the reason I get many scam calls is due to my being in a -ripe for picking age group- and have a very old phone number that has found its way onto perhaps hundreds of phone lists that are traded and or shared within the world scam industry. Sometimes I get a caller ID number...

    Scam Callers.

    Today's caller had a check for me for nine million. I stopped his pitch speech to let him know about the other identical winning checks I had won in the last few days. He said he was sorry to hear about that but his check was "legit":). So -the call proceeded as typical- (I swear I recognized...

    Scam Callers.

    Had another one this morning. --The amount of my "winnings" was $18,000,000. It took me about twenty min. to find out that my cost to receive my "check" was only $900.- Then $699 etc. As the negotiation -on that cost continued, it ended at an impasse over me getting a $25 gift card (for them) to...

    Scam Callers.

    Not so with where I am and my phone plan. BTW good advice -never call back an unknown -hang-up call. They are just fishing for numbers that work and it is often automated. -These poor folks have millions of numbers to deal with and-seek any nibble to help with their vast call list that is...
