    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/

    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).

    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.

    What's in Your Tree?

    I dropped a tree some years back and cut it into rounds. The very first 18" dia piece I split with an ax revealed an old insulator inside. I donated it to our local forestry center for their museum. Months later I split another log and found this second one. It's amazing how a tree can heal...

    Fireplaces- How many enjoy them for what they are for?

    I get a lot of use out of mine. It is not a great source of heat but in my case it is plenty. I like to play with building and keeping a fire when the weather outside gets cold and gloomy. Many old houses have them and a lot are just for looks. It is a shame to not make them do what they were...

    Anyone else like to play with cold call scammers?

    I just had one that had something to do with $9k I was chosen to receive from the gov. The caller's accent was heavy and a bit faint and I listened for a bit before I broke into the pitch. I said--So the gov. wants to give me $9k is that right. -- Yes was the response. OK have them send it...

    North California Fires

    I feel for our members that live in this area. It is natural to empathize with someone you know that may feel hurt in a tough time. My longtime girlfriend lives there. She connected with me today to set me at ease. She is packed and ready to move. The fire is one mile away and the sky is very...

    My Hellcat has it's first glitch

    Took the cat for a spin today and it started fine. As I rolled onto the street in first gear I got to about 2500 rpm and it fell flat like letting off the throttle. Second gear got me more speed but fell flat again at 2500 rpm. My first thought was this is a limp mode but had no indications on...

    Look out you old kids sex could kill you.

    Meeting new people and sharing life is the same when we get old as it was when we started to get old. Hugh Hefner recently passed at 91. I suspect he had plenty of advice about STDs. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/derrick-y-mcdaniel/sex-and-seniors-stds-a-ne_b_9619778.html When we visit our...
