To a large extent, I always thought the Kinks were an acquired taste. If it wasn't for that little green amp they probably would have had no following at all. Still hoping that Ray is capable of one more tour. The one thing you can say about the Beatles and the Stones is their music has held up rather well. Maybe not all of it, but more than most bands.

How was he going to pass him, drive on the sidewalk?

He had TT throwing to him and that says it all. He had TT throwing to him and that says it all. He had TT throwing to him and that says it all. He had TT throwing to him and that says it all. He had TT throwing to him and that says it all.

The GOAT for LAMPS!

What happened to their tails?

In the 60's I had one every Thursday while watching the Untouchables. The secret was oregano. There is an amazing difference with and without oregano.

From your statement, I assume you were also watching Star in the 4th quarter.

I agree. The defense at the end of the game was dictated by Hill. They were afraid of him and rightfully so. IMO, Allen outplayed Mahomes. Allen's passing yards were in the air, at least half of Mahomes were after the catch.

While I hate the overtime rule, no matter how many times the Bills could score, KC would have scored every time they got the ball because the D was burned out. They were dead tired at the end of the game.

Mr Gugny, I include a link to a Craftsman unit that would not start. The reason I include it is so you can see the layout of the unit. I am guessing this is a new layout for blowers because it is more complex and a little bit harder to work on than all the other video's I have watched. This blower had major dirt in the jets issues. Several comments below the video seem to indicate a few others had the same issue, with basically 3 year old or less blowers. One guy stated he left it he put stabilizer in it one year and the other he siphoned the gas out. Both years he had issues. I use straight gas on both my blower and my lawnmower. I used to use ethanol gas because it was left over from by gas bonus points. I use noise cancelling headphones when I cut the lawn and when I made the switch there was a noticable change in the way the mower sounded. With ethanol gas there was a high pitched knock that disappeared when I was running straight gas. I had to have the noise cancelling on to hear the difference. Straight gas just sounds smoother. You never said what your issues were, so were they with the starting/running?

I have a MTD 26", 8 HP which is about 15 years old. Oddly I am having trouble with it for the first time. I believe I have something wrong with the gas or the carb. I did the usual Stabil and in October it started right up. It still starts up but sometimes going up a slight slope on the driveway it starts dying. I figure maybe water in the gas or the carb needs some work. The only other thing I ever had to work on was the friction drive wheel which I replaced. My daughter was doing the driveway one year and I think she let the drive slip a bit. I am curious on what you are having issues with. I have watched quite a few of the YouTube snow blower maintenance video's and the really are simple devices. Those must be the one you took off your car.

Wow, she has a service fish!

I have been through those lists on youtube before but they are interesting. I only looked at the '60s which was I believe was based on UK ratings and I think it was a bit subjective. I don't believe Helen Shapiro ever had a U.S. hit. 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, I loved them all, some more than others. Music certainly changed from 1960 to 1969. If you just want a list, you can follow the link below from 1960, scroll to the bottom and pick any year of the Billboard top 100. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_1960

RIP I don't see it mentioned anywhere but in the late 60's or early 70's there was a talk show late Sunday nights called "The Point After." Harry Jacobs, Paul McGuire and a third retired bill, maybe Stratton would review the game. I thought Jacobs led the discussion. I think it was a small new station located on Grand Island, maybe what became Fox. The Bills were always in competition for the number one draft choice at the time. One quote from the show I has stuck with me but I can't remember who said it. "When we played it was 4 yards and a cloud of dust, now its 2 yards and a cloud of excuses." Edit - I checked wikipedia and it turns out it was channel 29, WUTV which started in 1970. So the show must have been on in 71,72 and maybe 73 and 74. My memory was stuck on the Bills losing and they did that rather well in the late 60's and early 70's.

I was wondering if Verizon had an app that would let you stream. Apparently not but there is a way around it. See the link. If you ever try this, let us know if it works. https://www.apprupt.com/fios-tv-on-roku/

I agree with what you said. So much depends on how many cables someone has running around their house and the line to the house. Having a meter that reads signal strength makes this a simple task. Maybe you can get a hold of meter or if not a booster/splitter. Before streaming, I had 4 tv's in the house all connected to cable. Two of them had intermittent results, so I put in a booster and things were fine. After a few years, I started having issues. Spectrum came in and measured the signal strength. The tech said the signal coming to the house was a little weak. He went out to the connection on the pole and ended up replacing the cable to the house. He said he found the squirrels had chewed the cable insulation and water had accumulated in the cable. The pole at the street where the cable is intermingled with a couple of pine trees. I still have 4 tv's but only two cable connections. Spectrum has an app that works with Roku's that allow you to stream their programs if you are a Spectrum subscriber. I don't know if any other provider has an app for this. Streaming has certainly reduced the cabling in the house.

That explains the cameo by Stephen. This was worth the time. I would like to see a third season.

Recalling some of your old posts, I hate to inform you but sump water is not fresh.

It is really being marked down for Black Friday. My original intent for posting was to offer who ever replied here the $30 coupon when I signed up. As it turns out earlier this week I found out my son-in-law's nephew had one. I never met him but two years ago he barely survived a DUI hit and run. When I found out he had one, I offered it to him.

Thanks for your response. I don't really play computer games but wanted it for the same things you are using it for. On the Facebook requirement, I refuse to open an account, so I will use my wife's account. Supposedly they are going to eliminate that requirement, supposedly.

I have been thinking about getting a VR headset for a while. Since I was not sure if I would like them, I have delayed until now. There are Black Friday deals on the Quest 2 and I find them real tempting. Anyone here have any experience with these that they would like to share? I also wonder how much of an affect VR headsets have on making someone nauseous? I cannot read in a moving car for more than a few minutes.

I have to really thank you for recommending this. I did not expect it to be a foreign diner but that made it that much better. After about the third episode, I had to watch one after another. Took me a week to do through them all. I will miss it.

When I looked at the option of drawing SS at 66 or going to 70, it worked out that the breakeven year on total payouts was when I would be 76. If I died before 76, taking it at 66 was the better option, if I lived past 76 the better option was waiting to 70. That analysis did not include making any money on the money I took earlier. I took the 66 option in part because I am daring fate to screw me money-wise by allowing me to live longer. If you are close to retirement I would recommend a program by Larry Kotlikoff. If you have a lot of options, that program will really help. The program was called something like "Max my social security." I liked it so much I purchased my sister a copy of it just before she retired. I believe in Gold/Silver long term. I have some bullion but I also have a position is PSLV. In 2020 I had a position in SLV which is a silver ETF, but having read many times, if you don't have possession of it, you don't own it, I started switching from SLV to PSLV. SLV is an ETF which is highly leveraged. PSLV is by Sprott and the prospectus says they have bullion on hand for all they sell. At minimum, if retirement is off a few years, you should have some for diversification. On the comment about Gold/Silver underperforming compared to the stock market, keep in mind what every advisory says, "Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance." This bull market is on an unprecedented 11 year run. It will end someday.

Thanks for the link. I really like to see that Ontario/St Lawrence traffic.

My son was big on Korean movies and gave me a list to watch. The Chaser Memories of Murder The Chase The Admiral: Roaring Currents -- Based on a battle in Korean history He also gave me an odd Japanese movie - Departures. It is about how the Japanese handle funerals, I found the cultural take on this very interesting. The tough thing about these is finding them.
