    That trucking game my nephew and them play.
    It’s on steam.
    I’ll have to ask them name, I took a photo after I had to explain to him the physics of how to back to a dock, pretty much worked the same way.

    I fixed the mower.
    Again.
    Alone.
    A starter solenoid, $25.
    2 tires. $64.99 + 35.97
    New ignition switch $16
    New mower they wanted $3300 plus tax.
    I could rebuild this whole mower for less than 1500.
    I didn’t stimulate the economy and everyone thought they’d get a new mower, guess I’ll be mowing the grass after I sit down to rest.
    Oh and I’d like to meet the idiot that put the starter solenoid under the steel plate under the seat.
    It’s now behind the plate, upside down to do the same purpose.
    Maybe I should patent that.
    I’m going to see how long this thing goes before anyone washes it, it’s been 5 years.
    I thought about writing, “Test dirt, Do Not Wash” on the back of it.

    Still got an old broke down goods relocater extraordinaire laying on the ground and putting junk together, who can’t get up unless there’s something to help pull against.

    I should open a small engine shop.
    Though I despise working on things, then I’d have to be sure everyone was working, or no, I’d just have something to do on weekends, forget that idea. o_O

    This was the problem.
    Just sucked getting to it.
    Fighting mosquitos, and waspers.

    Someone's Rav 4 pulling a two axle U-Haul trailer has BURST INTO FLAMES in the travel lane on the westbound side of 40 about 25 miles west of Amarillo.

    I know why they make that tow bar so long now. So when the Toyota pulling the trailer BURSTS INTO FLAMES the U-Haul trailer doesn't get damaged.

    Oh what a feeling.

    This TA looks like a Landstar convention.

    Listen. We have too many as it is. Go to Schneider.

    Was it at least an EV version to further the myths?

    I was asked. “Why do you wear those old shoes from Walmart, with the toe busted open and sole worn loose.”

    me “I got an old pair of Dan Post I’ve had for years, used to, when I was just running around and not married, I didn’t wash socks, I just bought a new package every week.
    Now I turn them inside out and wash them until the elastic is shot, and they fall down to my ankles,
    One pair has had a hole in it for 2 years, and the reason is staring you back when you walk into the bathroom and look at that mirror on the wall.”

    This is my penance, only time I wear them old dan post boots now is to a funeral. :(
    Oh how the mighty have fallen.

    of course that story fell on deaf ears..

    Ever since I have had the covid shots from Maderna I have found breathing in muggy air next to impossible. Walk 50 feet and I am ready to pass out. Almost like there isnt enough oxygen in the air. Had to email my customer and tell her that I couldnt get her job done. The other lawn never panned out. I dont like feeling this useless.
