    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?

    Will daylight-saving time finally last 365 days per year?

    I kinda like the idea for many reasons. Maybe a discussion about this can happen in general discussion before it gets pushed to the political section.:) https://nypost.com/2020/09/16/senate-bill-proposes-maintaining-daylight-saving-time-all-year/

    Kennedy half dollar coin in a coke bottle.

    I did this prompted by a challenge in the early eighties. I put a half-dollar coin in a classic coke bottle. Sorry about the picture quality.--- In-person the coin is real as is the bottle. To date- I have been unable to find if this has been done by another and if so I am interested in how they...

    Is the phone in your pocket your friend?

    Contact tracing is a rather new term we all are learning about. This is something that is of value to understand. Our pet phones may not be loyal pets.

    How a virus can spread

    This is an interesting look at this current topic from -myth busters. BTW this is recently dated but have no clue when it was done. (I thought myth busters was a part of history).

    Scam Callers.

    I am a fan of playing with scam callers but I don't seek them out. Today I got a call that told me I was entitled to 1.7 million dollars. So I called them back and listened to their long pitch. My response was that 1.7 million was WAY too much money for me to deal with. I asked them how many...

    Simple Math Puzzles

    I have always liked this kind of stuff and tend to solve a Sudoku puzzle when I wake up in the morning -kinda like some have a cup of coffee. (it gets the blood flowing to the brain as does stretching and exercising). I came across this simple puzzle/question on youtube and liked its simplicity...

    Another look back into the history of car racing.

    I came across this and was impressed with what I learned about the good old days of car racing from it. So much of what we all grow up with has--other tales yet to be told. Reflecting on this thought---Why am I now learning about stuff that should have been the talk of the day for everyone as...

    Incoming nine digit numbers to my cell phone.

    I have been getting these calls on a regular basis. About one each day and always near the same time of day. They are hangup calls whether I answer or not. Calling them back doesn't work because they are not ten-digit numbers. A small amount of time searching the internet only told me I am not...

    68 GTX

    I grabbed a pic of a very nice GTX this morning in Portland Or. The event was many sq blocks of all kinds of cars. Every turn was eye candy for car folks. My regret is not taking more pics. This 300F was next to the free hot dogs and drinks for all. And by all, I mean hundreds of folks.

    Tool for forming round to square header tubing

    I made my own SS headers for my alum Hemi. To make a round tube fit the square holes on the head mounting plate I came up with this idea and it worked out rather well.

    Seaking a previous owner of your car. What would you do?

    My car is a 69 Coronet RT Hemi 4sp. I bought it in 1980 from a guy in LA. (not the previous owner). Today I came across a Ca. registration document with the name of the last owner of the car. I did a quick internet search for his name and am sure I found him by that search. He comes up as being...

    Tax day is coming again.

    I just finished several hours of head scratching -and my returns were- SUBMITTED -and accepted by both fed. and state. I plan to write two big checks (for fed. and state) on April 1st. --Since I feel foolish it seems only right to --submit-- on fools day. The reason I feel somewhat foolish about...

    Does Life start over when the Smart phone dies?

    I have been upgrading my phones for years and always was able to transfer data from one to the next. Today my LG4 passed away. It could not be revived to transfer data to my new phone. I was told that If my old phone came back to life I could recover years of contacts and photos. It would be an...

    For the gun folks out there.

    What is this? To me, it's a work of art.

    How do you deal with coins?

    We get coins when we break a dollar. --It's a mix of coins that is always less than a buck. I never like digging for a coin or two when spending paper money so I eventually end up with a pile of those things at home. Some years back I took $1700 worth to my bank to turn it back into paper. It...
