  1. Same here! Happy Thanksgivings! See folks... This is how you get along! ^^^^ Children, are you watching?
  2. Crap... We are white and felt really out of place in a South BFLo bar. South BFLo, as does South Chicago leave me with a creepy vibe... But I am Polish heritage... My family worked on railroad... Predominantly Irish workforce hated the Polish. They all picked their tribal corners. If my mother would bring an Italian date home... My grandfather wouldn't say a word. He'd get off his chair... Go to the bedroom and closed the door until they left. My mother inlaw is Italian from Olean. Father inlaw South BFLo Irish... It was HUUGE ta-do when they married in the early 1960s. Hard to believe, right. My MiL could tell you stories of how Olean was segregated between ethnic lines. Too much to get into here... I will just bow gracefully out.
  3. Okay... Test is complete... I am just going to have to jack other's quotes: You gotta reply... Nice sweater Seasons! Sharp!
  4. People cut their losses and go where they a more homogenous, it's all about economics.
  5. It has a lot to do with economics, property values, etc... It's changing now... And in some places like W.Seneca people are steaming mad! So they white flight and move farther out. It's happening (always been) here in Illinois. My house built brand new in 1996 lost $40,000... Because of white flight. Unlike Chicago... Detroit, where the Great Migration from South after the 1920s to the manufacturing jobs of the North put AAs on the South Sides. Buffalo is more geographically isolated and radiates out east. But till this day... South Chicago and South Buffalo, Predominantly Irish have stayed the same segregated way.
  6. The answer's in the middle. I grew up there and lived half of my 51 years there. Go back every month or so. It can be VERY racist and segregated. I think segregated is really the word. Especially the suburbs. My wife graduated from Lackawanna High. Myself West Seneca. Yet they all border on each, now mix in Orchard Park on that line. There are definitely color lines and barriers especially when compared to where I live the last 25 years... Buffalo area is very VERY defined.
  7. I betcha theirs is in Texas: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/11/27/us/port-neches-plant-explosion/index.html
  8. Influencers suck. That is all. You need to market the "Taint Shield." Make a zillion bucks!
  9. I'd like to see you and what Army! I'd wear safety goggles... She don't play!
  10. ...Flying around Toronto, Ontario. Film @ Five: https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/4314711002 https://mobile.twitter.com/TorontoPolice/status/1199437861126311938?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-12591425242456395501.ampproject.net%2F1911121900560%2Fframe.html
  11. Yet with batteries... You still wanna go better... Get an AGM (absorbent glass mat)... They will hold up to the vibration of the harsh automobile environment. That's why they tend to bury batteries now... Or put in trunk, under back seat, etc... Insulate the thing to. Heat & humidity will destroy a battery. Constant temp swings. SUVs, trucks, 4x4 vibration is a killer. Glass mat you can even turn sideways without all that liquid sloshing around. A battery will last longer in N.Dakota than Miami. If you got a little extra, go AGM. Insulate and bury that ***** -er... Tack down tight. P.I.T.A. to swap, but will last longer. It's still a lead acid battery.
  12. Ask and you shall receive (sorry, not full game... But it's there somewhere):
  13. 10. I am a Sabres fan. Enough said. We have two years of collapses. Don't these things come in 3s?
  14. Since "Just give it them", also the receiver knocked out cold who caught the ball out of bounds was earlier. Notice... It all started when Krafty threatened move to Hartford. When he financed his own stadium. He was refinancing the digs every 30 days. There was a lot invested in getting fickle Boston fan's butts in seats. This is the same theft of service cheat that admitted sneaking 6 people in on 4 season tix back at Harvard Stadium... Justified it because team was terrible in the 1960s. Ralph had to bail Sullivan's out because their fans were cheating team. Once a cheat, always a cheat.
  15. What were they made out of platinum and filled with a rare earth element for the gas charge. Holy smokes! Yet... Some of those bastages... Struts for hoods, hatches can run steep $$$$. I take you got them $50/piece... Times 2. Or $50 for the set?
  16. HATCHBACK struts. Not the shocks, struts. @KD in CA $300 is outrageous! LoL...
  17. Bingo! And how to get the wrong adapter off. He was probably so paranoid about breaking the damn thing (hence on hook for the money), might as well have them do it. Can't say I really blame him. But really... Throw in a WAF moto-head smear campaign. If it goes on one way, has to come off same way... Oh yeah, look for little locking tabs, etc... Please... A moment of silence and prayer for all the middle managers of the world. LMAO. You're in my thoughts and prayers Gug.
  18. Good thing you didn't go in to get your OBDII error code checked! Hate to see what that read! LoL... Be thankful this Thanksgiving!
