    Really bad pic of a shuttle patch that came down April 1, 2003 at my grandmothers yard when the shuttle fell apart over East, TX and LA. The US Forest Service brought in people to pick stuff up. Her and I found stuff at her house for a long time. When it rained or the wind blew stuff fell out of...

    How are you doing?

    Pretty bad, but nothing I can do about it. Last diagnosis was scleroderma. Affecing my skin obviously, my heart so my heart rate is 140 at rest unless I take medication. I'm so freaking so sore all the time. Getting into and out of a char is a major understaking. No work, no driving, no going...

    Just read that Hondas are backordered delayed due to shipping now so add Honda Generators to the list of can't get now. In your shoes I would take what is available and not be picky if there are still any locally for sale.

    Got a laugh this week when Elon said people could use their Tesla cars as robot taxis 20 hours a day and make $30k a year. If it was profitable Tesla would do it themselves.

    Took my profits out of short term energy ETF a week or so ago of right at up 30% in a little more than 3 weeks. Oddly enough the bottom is falling out of the price of oil and the energy ETF is still going up. Still in the camp of a lot of money that nobody knows what else to do with.

    I get emails from astronomics weekly about the items they actually have in stock ready to ship. Several varieties of scopes from low end to upper end and a lower variety of mounts. They don't carry any "department store" type scopes however.

    Retail has to make it through Thanksgiving where people can't buy all the food they want. Nobody will go hungry but choices get less and less each day. Then make it through Christmas where a ton of stuff is still sitting on ships outside the docks in CA. Too many bucks chasing too few goods...

    The few I've dealt with simply follow a list of "wants". Miss one "want" on your resume and they don't even look at it. Mentioned it before. When I was hired at my last job I saw their ad and responded. It literally looked like they copied my resume. Only so many people would have all those...

    The definition of insurance, taking the risk you aren't willing to assume has kind of morphed now with the ACA "insurance" thrown about as not insurance but total healthcare. Off my soapbox. But yeah renters insurance is next to nothing, but I've never known anyone that tried to collect on it...

    Yeah that's why I said "sticker". Pretty sure if you managed to import new Yugo's now they wouldn't go for sticker lol. I did get a laugh out of the MPG on it. 10.5 second 1/4 mile time I thin it said. Sticker only $20k more than some 1/2 ton trucks now.

    Just got a check on an oil lease I own. Somenoe is drilling somewhere. Owned it for 15 years. Leased it right before the market collapse in 2008 and it didn't lease. Leased this late last year and they aren't drilling on the property but neighbors somewhere. Only own the mineral rights not the...

    Don't know if it will help. There's an option now to check off if you don't want things rendered that drop that are filtered out. That may help, may not. I think it's in the game tab in options.

    Money flowing for goods and services keeps the economy going. You can complain about prices, but if everyone held off "till later" the economy would collapse. But people won't so people complain about it.

    My new shaving cream. It "kinda" smells like Dr. Pepper. It's a Texas thing. Good chance even at a fast food place you ask for coke you get a Dr. Pepper lol. It's not bad. Like a lot of other botique shaving creams, just smells close to Dr. Pepper.
