She bears a bit of a resemblance to Reese Witherspoon.


Yes ... This young beauty and Reese Witherspoon are BOTH carbon based lifeforms ... w/ opposable thumbs to boot!

Yep Earth worming.
Got my own theory. If you start with the rule of Physics "that energy can ninetieth be created or destroyed"
The look at the windmills. An example the wind comes off the Pacific thru Calif. and goes across America to a point it dies and other winds take over, from another direction. Now the wind hits a windmill and no change. The we have hundreds of windmills no or little change and then we have thousands of windmills, Now the wind does not go as far across the US as it did. This does not give us a vacuum at the end other air come in, from the north, south, east or may be from above. That changes the weather at that point, better or worse, but it does changing the weather and the earth flow. So we are changing the earth weather with windmills. Now you hear my theory on the worlds weather. It's all over the earth, more wind mills.

Got it off my chest (PS my major in collage was Physics)

The 1968 Dodge Cornet 440 is finished and back on the road and damned if Cody didn't drag a 1969 Dodge L700 tanker home. The surprising thing is the Cab is almost rust free the bed not so much . the truck had been used on his farm to fuel his equip., but has been setting for the last 10 yrs because the starter had gone out.
I wasn't at the shop when they tilted the cab but the collected three 50gal trash can of rats nest, the engine wouldn't turn over by hand she they removed the spark plugs and put oil in each cylinder. and left it set.
The next day I replaced the starter, we installed a battery and I connected the remote starter hit the button and promptly got a bath in oil oops note: to self don't stand there the next time Checked compression and found it to be acceptable.
Next, new plugs, wires, dist cap points, cond.and a new fuel pump so far so good, the carb was shot it leaked at the throttle shaft. Searched the internet for a couple of hrs. Couldn't find a direct fit Carb for under $495, another twenty mins and I had a later model carb, for the same size eng for $86.00 with a few small mods it worked and after about a half of running the engine smoothed out a purred like a kitten and didn't smoke,
Now the plan is to make it safe to drive and find someone that wants to buy it.

Been rebuilding trucks and cars (on and off ... mostly off) since the 60s too. In the interest of "SAFETY" you should get rid of those damned Dayton Rims. Two piece rims like that are HORRIBLE to maintain. The bottom of an old disused quarry would be a safer place for them. Everything else looks on track to be a great restoration. Kudos

You know it’s a ROBO call when …
___________________________________________________________________________________
… when the call starts with an upbeat voice saying: “Hi! How are you doing today?” I respond: “I’m terrible. My wife and kids all just died in a traffic accident!” The voice responds: “Glad to hear that.”

…when the call starts with: “This is (insert any name here) from Dealer Services. We’ve been trying to contact you about your car’s warranty…”

…”This is Microsoft Technical Support. We’ve determined that you have a virus on your machine. Call 999-987-6543 ASAP and our technician will help you remove the virus.”

…”Congratulations! Your name has been selected as the winner of a free 7 day cruise for a fabulous vacation. Hit any key to speak to one of our agents.”

Do you have any opening lines for the ROBO calls you’ve received?

Whenever I suspect it is a robo-call, I will answer the phone with something like this ... (In a frantic voice) ... "Do you know how to clean up blood ... LOTS of blood ?!?!?"

Most times they can't disconnect fast enough.

So, they're bundled. I wonder if they can be unbundled?


The cost of individual services will increase without the bundle. I have a bundle that includes cable, internet and a telephone landline. I never use the phone ... I don't even know the number. If I drop the phone, my bill would go up. Go Figure

My Netflix charge for this month is $15.11, up from $13.99. It's been going up $1.00/year, but Spectrum is much worse. From $165 a couple of years ago to almost $200/month now.

Netflix's reason - better quality offerings. Really?


Spectrum (aka SPUTUM) has raised my rates from $157/mo, 4 years ago to over $255/mo now. They say it would be higher if I had not been "Grandfathered" in with the change. I do believe I will take a HARD PASS on renewing with them later this year. Streaming services seem far superior.

I quit Netflix 4 years ago when they showed their true loyalties.

A friend (77) fell on the ice and "shattered" her hip. From what I've read, this can lead to a decline in health and the end of life. Do any of you have any experience with old folks with broken hips. This woman is upbeat, married, and has a large circle of friends.


My Grandmother (95) fell in a nursing home. Broke her hip in at least four places. She was up and around within 3 months as feisty as ever. There is hope to be sure.

Right. I could never understand why they use big stars for the voices. I usually can't even tell who's doing the voices, so why not hire actual voice actors? They're less expensive, and they need the work.


I do remember a commercial with someone who sounded EXACTLY like Donal Sutherland. He even did an interview assuring the public that it was NOT the real Donald Sutherland in the commercial. Sounds like a growth opportunity for unemployed impressionists to me.

Some of the newer advertisements use animated people that I find to be totally creepy.


It is cheaper to animate for commercials than it is to pay a real actor. Then again there is the voice over ... hmmm ....
