@explorerx4
Nope wasn't my Airstream. Due to our summer business, we are stuck in Vermont on the lake for the summer. And, what a hot summer it has been. (I know, poor us!) We are closing our cottage business early this year and are going to Albuquerque with the Airstream the first week of October for the international balloon festival. There's kind of a lottery to get in, and we did. I hear that it's great. Then, we will try to visit Bryce and Zion while we are out there, providing the weather cooperates that time of year.

Wife and i have talked about attending the balloon festival.

October can be kind of tricky, weather wise. could be 80, could snow.

@sda,
Yesterday, I washed my Fusion including dressing the tires, which I don't usually do any more.
It looks so clean, I don't want to drive it.
Aside from not wanting to park my '15 GENNY in skinny parking spaces that's reason #2 why it sits clean as a whistle in my garage with 7235 miles on it as I post. Which is why I'm not even allowed to talk about trading it in and have to concentrate on Mrs. j's 2012 Legacy with less than 33K miles on it even if I ain't getting nowhere with that either. Although I've asked for help from you guys in here, I have not gotten any. I don't know if you guys don't like me or if you don't think you can out wit Mrs. j.

jmonroe
Hey, I offered to take it off your hands, even told you I'd pay you a thousand or two. Tell Mrs. J it's a charity donation to a good cause. I'm sure she has a big heart.

What worries me is that in another 6 or 7 years it will meet the requirements of being a hooptie and every flake on Craig's List will be at my door trying to out price you.

That's a looog drive lugging a trailer around but you will surely have warmer temps than Vermont. I think we are going to get some pics, huh?

@sb55,
Turn to my left and looking at a print of 'The Narrows' in Zion.
Bryce and Zion are greats parks.
Hope you have great trip.

I thought the sign was hacked. But I fully support the no ketchup movement. That stuff is nasty.

JM, I actually need a car now. So you should be talking to me. As long as it has a moonroof, we can make this work.

It has a m oonroof. It has nav, it has a 3.6R engine, it has bun warmers, it's a Limited so it has EVERYTHING even puddle lights.

Silver over black leather. It's been running on full synthetic since the first oil change at 6K miles and every 6K miles thereafter. It's better than a cream-puff.

Once you know @Snake is from Chicago and since they take great pride in their hot dogs, the sign makes perfect sense.

If only the enforcement sector would go after or be told to go after more than simple speeders. The amount of "drivers" I see with phones in their hand, not signaling, violating green signaled crosswalks, turning into the wrong lane, etc is stupefying. Actually cracking down on more than speed might alleviate some stress from those who have to dodge idiots, especially on foot.

On the other hand, this morning I saw a brave hardworking bootstrapper in a Tesla going maybe 60-70 in a 40, probably less likely to be nabbed for that than a 19 year old from a less affluent suburb speeding in a 20 year old Civic. But I guess that's how it goes, justice is not blind, they deserve the endless tax breaks, with more upcoming, as the entitled lucky ones like to lecture "life isn't fair", dopey libertarians will cry "class warfare!" if anyone questions this dumb status quo

Given the perks and blind deference accumulated and held by the crime and punishment industry, no doubt even doubling the amount of citations would fail to fund that system. This isn't real world accountability.

If speed demon's posts irk some, just skip them. It's not rocket surgery.

Most of us do not have any direct contact with traffic law inforcement activities because we obey or are in compliance with all traffic laws. We don’t travel more than 3-5 mph over the speed limit; we stop at red lights and stop si. Why? Because they find the traffic laws too restricting for their driving preferences. Tough, isn’t it!

If everyone obeyed the traffic laws, we would all be safer on the roads when we drive. It’s because of those who violate traffic laws that accidents are on the rise.

Do we know what percentage of people are pulled over for each offense? We see someone pulled over so we automatically presume it's for speeding? How do we know it's not for cell phone use or not using turn signals or cutting someone off?
It's a pretty soild assumption when you see it happen in front/alongside/behind you. You are observing traffic, and you don't see any violations yourself, other than speeding, which everyone is doing, so when someone gets pulled over, pretty safe process of elmination. Also, if the fastest guy that just passed you gets pulled over, another prettty strong indicator.

As you say it is an assumption, you really have no idea why that person was pulled over. Maybe due to making unsafe lane changes, or not using signals, or on a cell phone, or expired plates, or having ketchup on your hotdog (illegal here in Chicago), or any other reason.
That's not true. I have these things called eyeballs, two of them, and they work great. I also have superior powers of observation while I"m driving. I'd have noticed an unsafe lane change, not using signals, or cell phone use in many cases, if they had occurred. Expires plates, I'm not paying attention for that, as it doesn't affect my safety. How would the Officer know that from their typical hidden positions? License plate readers? Would they pull someone over for only that reason without being certain their records are not faulty? Seems very far-fetched.

I think we all know all those other reasons are a mere statistical blip on what is usually going on out there.

You may have eyeballs but can you read minds? Unless you can read the officers mind you have no way of knowing why someone got pulled over.

It's called experience. I have this thing called experience. And according to you all my experience getting pulled over is due to speeding.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck.

I can’t believe how fast these last 10 weeks have passed by. It seems like only yesterday that I purchased airline tickets for my son and youngest grandson to travel here to South Florida from Palm Springs airport. They are arriving Thursday afternoon. Too bad they will only be here 3 nights - but that’s better than none.

I decided to limit our outdoor activities due to 92-95 degree temps and extreme humidity. Probably the movies Saturday and clothes shopping Friday. Dinner and breakfasts out. My grandson told me he loves pancakes - so IHOP here we come.

So looking forward to their brief visit.

Don't laugh. Back in the early 70's I was thinking about doing that. Then Mrs. j found out how much that would cost. That was the end of that so I vowed that the next house we built would have one of those or a lift. By the time that happened, when we moved to SC in 1992 and built another house, I didn't want it anymore.

BTW, that guy doesn't look the least bit like Dean Martin, so I'm sure no one in here believes you. :@

Same here from what I understand. Fire & safety hazard they say.

One thing I do wonder about, though, and I've never seen it - when people are building a garage, why can't they depress the floor a bit in the center of a vehicle parking area? Slope it towards the center of the lane to make a shape like a trough like you might if you were putting in a drain. That would allow you to slide under a car for things like oil changes much easier.

That's what I used to make maps out of in elementary school.

I thought Mike was going to make pancakes because nothing is as lovin', as something from the oven......or at least microwave oven.

I can’t believe how fast these last 10 weeks have passed by. It seems like only yesterday that I purchased airline tickets for my son and youngest grandson to travel here to South Florida from Palm Springs airport. They are arriving Thursday afternoon. Too bad they will only be here 3 nights - but that’s better than none.

I decided to limit our outdoor activities due to 92-95 degree temps and extreme humidity. Probably the movies Saturday and clothes shopping Friday. Dinner and breakfasts out. My grandson told me he loves pancakes - so IHOP here we come.

So looking forward to their brief visit.
In one breath you say you love your grandson then with the next you say you will take him to IHOP. Why?

I thought the sentence was going to end differently. Instead of ; "My grandson told me he loves pancakes - so IHOP here we come." I thought it was going to be "so Aunt Jemimah pancake mix, here we come".
IMO, that is much better than going to IHOP.

More fun watching Mike put on his apron!

Wish i could have one of those. Apparently they are illegal now or something. My dad has one in his converted barn but has to keep it a secret.
Same here from what I understand. Fire & safety hazard they say.

One thing I do wonder about, though, and I've never seen it - when people are building a garage, why can't they depress the floor a bit in the center of a vehicle parking area? Slope it towards the center of the lane to make a shape like a trough like you might if you were putting in a drain. That would allow you to slide under a car for things like oil changes much easier.

Great idea....then if you are working in the garage you will have a latrine. You should go on Shark Tank Ab.

color in and out?
Silver over black leather. It's been running on full synthetic since the first oil change at 6K miles and every 6K miles thereafter. It's better than a cream-puff.

Were these all dealer serviced oil changes?

YES, EVERY ONE OF THEM.

Are you writing a book or just harassing a poster. :@ :@

Just checking....I don't want my warranty voided

How does my warranty affect yours?

jmonroe

If I buy Mrs J's Subie........I won't be able to transfer the warranty if you have been messing around doing your own oil changes.

Haven't you learned by now if a manufacture wants to weasel out of warranty repair they will find a way to do it and get away with it. Happens all the time. Having a warranty is just something that a manufacture wants you to feel good about having.

It would work well if you have a floor drain.

Will these are popping up around the Chicago area.

I don't get it

It's one of those charming zip code jokes. In San Francisco, it would be "No Gourmet Toast".
