  1. Phoenix & Salt Lake City are further west longitude than Easter Island.🗿
  2. Toyota were also notorious for engine oil sludging and stuck accelerators with floor mats in the 20-naughts... I probably won't get another Toyota. Ain't bad... This is my second Taco... But meh... WtF can't Toyota do things like include the tailgate lock in fob... Gotta go aftermarket to tie one in... Same with adding trailer brakes, had to add aftermarket. Also... The slightest little loss of ground at battery, won't kill the vehicle, but electronics go schizo... For the life of me couldn't figure out why radio was rebooting, other electronics acting squirrelly... Had a bad ground adapter (after market) running offnegative terminal so I can have extra power distribution box under hood. Seems Toyotas are built too sensitive. Terminal block tests fine, but just doesn't play nice... Had to get a replacement... Probably last 5 years too. Probably go back to Jeep. Still running my 2006 Jeep TJ... They hold value better than Toyota.
  3. Only to get their livers strategically targeted by wise guy orcas.
  4. Orcas kill sharks for fun. Go right to the sharks liver and rip it... Then play with their liver and leave the rest. Yeah, I know they are sharks, but what a bunch of dickheads orcas are! Why not go tip an elite's sailboat off the coast of Spain or some place... The world don't need them.
  5. Exactly. ...It's the magic in it.😉
  6. You forgot Mt.Morris Dam & Letchworth. It saved Rochester in 1972, Hurricane Agnes: cc: @Mike in Horseheads @BringBackFergy
  7. Yeah... I put aftermarket running boards on my Taco about 4 years ago so MiL could get in... I hate them... Powder coat is coming off now. Cheapo aluminum (thought would last)... Now it kinda wrecks lines of truck. Yup... Certainly better MPG...
  8. Ridgelines are unibody I believe... No frame. Even be careful with F150 Sport. We got one at work and you can't plow with it. How stupid. Dumped it back to GSA, now have a SuperDuty... The thing is a monster. Full CrewCab... Even I and you would too need a lift up into it. LoL... As long as you can plow snow with it... Why even make say an F150 that can't take any kinda of plow... Even the smallest.
  9. Presque Isle... Erie. Was in on the award winning beach erosion construction in early 1990s with USACE: Notice how the armor stone mounds placed parallel to shore self-nourish AND if course protect the beaches... Vs. old style groin perpendicular to beach? Some mounds now, you can walk right out onto without getting feet wet!
  10. Lily Dale Assembly... Even if it is a bit weird... Weird is cool too... https://www.lilydaleassembly.org/
  11. RedTaco... 2020 TRD OffRoad... Since February 2020, has just over 50,000 on it now. Tacoma has the composite bed... Not bad... Tow with it, put a 2" front reciever on it, etc. Tacoma doesn't use turbo. Not sure I want a turbo in a truck... Especially keeping it years later. 3rd Gen Tacos are 3.5 V-6... Atkinson cycle at highway speed to get the better mileage that is mandated. Gonna be cheaper to fix than a turbo in old age...
  12. Best & worst: Ronnie Harmon. Best: Horizontal TD @ Rich with one hand against Colts. Worst: You know the story. /EndThread
  13. I say a skill... From Google A.I. on maintaining lots of bingo cards... 😆 "To maintain multiple bingo cards effectively, it's important to stay organized by arranging the cards neatly for quick visibility and using strategies like color coding to help track numbers. Additionally, consider starting with a manageable number of cards and gradually increasing as you become more comfortable."
  14. My sister's ex's mother would go play bingo every week in F.Erie. Border agents knew her by her first name.
  15. I can add Twitter/X & Instagram too... Only "SocialMedia" to ever have an account is this place.
  16. Who's got time for a car... They are already juicing the poor on so many other angles. World needs ditch diggers too. https://www.buzzfeed.com/victoriavouloumanos/it-takes-so-much-more-time-to-be-poor-25-costs-of-poverty
  17. No pre-school. I guess that's a thing that happened when families went to two incomes. My one sister is 4 years younger... She went to pre-school in mid-1970s when my mother went back to work outside of home.
  18. Same. Probably a 1/2 teaspoon in my whole life @ 57 now. See the movies: "E.T." & "Titanic" & "Star Wars" after the original one...
  19. Did early on in my Motorola Droid 4 (slider... Which I wish they'd make a modern slider) days.
  20. Get an Android... Isn't the nuclear 10 passwords optional too? Second phone. Been using to avert any "digital disasters" since "the great one of 2014."
  21. They should lower the rims too... "The WNBA basketball is smaller than the NBA basketball, with a circumference of 28.5 inches and a weight of 20 ounces, compared to the NBA's ball, which has a circumference of 29.5 inches and weighs 22 ounces. This size difference is designed to better suit the players in the WNBA." Yet, they keep the same size rim diameter...
  22. Aren't basketball players called: "cagers" because it got so bad they used to have to play in cages: https://www.basketball.org/history/cagers/ "In its early days, basketball was not a sport for the faint of heart. Fights were commonplace, fans lobbed produce onto the court, and sometimes, much like in baseball, kept the Spalding as a souvenir when it bounded into the crowd. In those days, when the rules still stated that the player who got to an out-of-bounds ball first would retain possession, the ensuing result was lots of diving into the spectators and other slowdowns in play. Hence, a solution was necessary. Enter: a cage. ..."
