  1. Look what this pick-up truck does to a vehicle attempting to merge properly. Merging early causes more problems. It's best for traffic that vehicles utilize both lanes fully right up until the merge point, then "zipper it up", alternate vehicles... https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/watch-pickup-truck-slams-into-driver-attempting-correct-zipper-merge?utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=gnews&utm_campaign=CDAqEAgAKgcICjCrsIILMI2h_wIwgonhAg&utm_content=rundown
  2. Now I can't get this song out of my damn noodle! "And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?" ...
  3. Red flag! Hope you weren't nekkid! So in other words, she's gone for most of the yurt? I will be here all week, chef says: "Try the veal!"
  4. Yeah. Delivery any second. A durable bag for my 30' 0AWG jumper cables. Regular $19.99... Now only $14. PrimeDay is everyday for this lucky fella! You never know when you're gonna have to reach around a semi... Hence the 30 foot long cables. 😆
  5. My son got married June of 2022 up in Door County, Wisconsin... We paid for most of it. /wallbash... But it was about 75 friends and relatives from all over. They didn't even tell us how much they rolled in.😏 ...I know it had to be hefty from his only living grandparent. More power to 'em...
  6. Did the Bad News Bears win in the end? AND... What happened at the Alamo?
  7. Yeah... But it's all relative. Nobody is saying don't save at all... "According to the model, young workers with low income dissave; middle-aged workers save a lot; and retirees spend down their savings." "Young workers with LOW income..." is key...
  8. We're you able to do the things you wanted to when you were young and more healthy? Than... I guess it worked for you. BUT, only to save and deprive yourself when you are still young and relatively healthy is a bummer. Why they are saying live a consistent standard of living throughout your life. There will be no regrets. Can't take it with you.
  9. "If you are going to make a coffee cake, take the time to plump your raisins and roast your walnuts." ~My MiL Maybe... But: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/many-young-people-shouldnt-save-for-retirement-says-research-based-on-a-nobel-prize-winning-theory-11664562570 Just: "New research based on the life-cycle model says that people should strive for a consistent standard of living through their lives"
  10. Korean BBQ as a taco! https://www.seoultaco.com 😊
  11. Did you not see the one review with the picture of the squirrel feeding off the feeder? You must have squirrels with disabilities? 😉 $99... Huh?
  12. From: "29 Things People Try To Warn Others About But They Don’t Listen" Two that stuck out!!! #1: "Letting the culture war distract you. The purpose of the culture war is to be a distraction. We don’t need to worry about pronouns and drag queens. We need to worry about the extremely rich taking advantage of us all." AND....It's probably killing me the last 35 years working swing shift... #4: "Sleep deprivation. "That s**t'll kill you. Slowly. Painfully. Insidiously. Your body will wear out. Your mind will waste away. You will be sick all the time. Your judgment, self control, and emotional continence will fail with astonishing regularity. You'll develop cognitive decline in your 50s or 60s that shouldn't happen south of 80 or 90. It will destroy your quality of life." https://www.boredpanda.com/?s=29+Things+People+Try+To+Warn+Others+About+But+They+Don’t+Listen

  14. Did you see this from yesterday? https://www.tmz.com/2023/07/06/bills-qb-josh-allen-makes-out-hailee-steinfeld-mexico-pda-pool/
  15. You can only have one of two makers. The universe or money. Don't use "we." Becoming rich doesn't mean being smart. Most of the time it's the risk and luck that gets them there (monetarily rich)... In fact, the rich are probably some of the dumbest people on the planet, the universe just hasn't caught up with them yet. Anyway, why wouldn't they roll the bones, it's what got them there in the first place. BUT going under the sea is just plain stupid. Especially with today's tech.
  16. Ha! I was actually debating that. Background of picture, but foreground ahead of my daughter and me. Which is it?
  17. ?? The pizza BUSINESS. The way the previous replies were going, I was under the impression that the business didn't want to expand. So... I used that story of why they some aren't all caught up in "expansion." I don't think I made to crazy of a leap here. Some others got the connection. Yeah, a bit deep but not really too deep.
  18. This was texted to me from my righty-tighty loser co-worker. Rather funny! Blind squirrels do find a nut I guess with the losers on the right. 😆 Yeah... But the MyPillow guy is a Trump kook... 😆
  19. I guess you can... But the auto ones are nice. They make nice hybrids that go around your neck... This you can basically disable in case you purposely want to get in the water. https://bluestormgear.com/collections/cirrus-26/products/cirrus-27?variant=44739650978109 Nice and lightweight... Anyway... My bad. The hybrids are type V with either type III or type II performance. "For protection even though you’ll be on shore long before the storm hits. These lightweight vests are perfect for forgetting until the moment you need them. Designed for individuals 16 and older. Great for fishing, sailing, kayaking and general boating. New for 2021: Manual Override Cap now included with all Cirrus 26 models. The user can remove the automatic function of the device and inflate it manually, making it easier to go in and out of the water frequently."
  20. I have few type II inflatables... PITA when they need to be re-armed. Mustang Survival is hydrostatic so it won't inflate unless you really go in. The other you can disable, in case you're splashing around. Just get a nice lightweight type III kayaking vest. Not that expensive PFD. That way you won't have to rent the PFD...
  21. Sheesh... Jetskis everywhere. Kids got it easy today with the tow-in... Jammed packed with people!
  22. Thnx for kind words. I know I got some more, better pics... Looks like my son is paddling off my daughter's head... lol I didn't wanna lose my phone. That would have sucked. I think after that I got one of the dry bags for a phone. Even float. Probably a good idea thar gets overlooked! Enjoy! Or GoPro. I started using that...
  23. Wow... Spam is younger than my father and inlaws would be/are. No wonder my father loved it. It was new and different! I liked "Oval Spiced Ham" from the deli. I think that's Hormel...
  24. Well... It is in-between both places.
  25. My son... He loves it. I stay in kayak. This is us up in The Keweenaw @ Copper Harbor a few years back. Daughter and myself in kayak, son on paddle board in background. It looks too tiring having to stand all the time... But my son said it wasn't!
