The only online stores I use for parts are FCP Euro any the BMW Mini Parts store. I’ve never had an issue with either one.

I haven’t worn a mask outdoors for at least a year. Fortunately I have yet to encounter any hand-wringing bed wetters who are upset by my death-defying antics.

I refuse to live in fear of some germ boogeyman chasing me down the street when I’m alone. I reluctantly wear a mask in stores because they won’t sell you stuff if you don’t but I don’t feel like I’m in danger of certain death without one. Our state still feels the need to control everyone but now that the bulk of the population has been vaccinated, already had it or is in a population when they barely notice they are sick I don’t see the point.

Potentially, it wasn't just them that could be affected.
People can be carriers but asymptomatic.
On this most recent escapade, Amazon was $156 all in for 4 brake rotors for my Pacifica. Rock Auto is at $161 all in, and $31 of that is for shipping. Really not a lot to choose between on the bottom line pricing.
ON EDIT: I mis-spoke, Rock Auto is $164 all in. I just pulled the trigger, the rotors should arrive Monday, the 24th. Fingers crossed that they get the order right.
Perhaps you haven't heard what happened to 8 NY Yankee players and staff. Although they were all vaccinated they still came down with Covid-19. So one can't be too careful.
And don't get me started on the asinine dictates of the KY Supreme Court; our courtroom is now a plexiglass labyrinth that will make it virtually impossible for either side to receive a fair trial.
If a store asks me to wear a mask, I wear a mask.
But outdoors? That's notgonnahappen.com.

Agree 100%. I never wore a mask unless I absolutely had to. And the only time I have ever felt ill over the last year plus was when I got my second vacation. Now with that said ever since I got the second shot I have been feeling very fatigued in the evening.

Well if they can't receive a fair trial you gotta drop the charges.

A cornerstone of our judicial system is a fair impartial trial,, if you can't provide that you cannot prosecute them. Better that ten guilty go free than one innocent person gets convicted.

Anyone who had compromised health, including the elderly should take extra precautions but I caught it in July of 2020 and it wasn’t any worse than the flu. When in close contact with my coworkers I took normal precautions but if someone is so immune compromised that the need to drive alone in a car with a mask, maybe they should stay home.

From my understanding of how many false positives some tests produced I find it hard to believe.

It's actually going to be a moot point; we are currently pleading out 99% of the cases.

you would know better, but it seems like that might be a good thing? Don't most of the trials end up where you expect anyway, so just settling in advance would just save a lot of time and effort?

In 2019 we only tried two cases. Both were weak cases but we didn't have any choice. On the upside, we disposed of 100 more cases than we indicted. COVID shut the door on that, but we are still pleading several cases a week. Of course there are cases like the one I tried to negotiate today. The defendant is looking at five years in the penitentiary on a felony charge. With the consent of the arresting officer I offered a misdemeanor- forty five days probated for two years. The attorney thinks his guy may not take it...
The KY Supreme Court did do one thing I agreed with; they increased the availability of Felony Mediation, which really works well. My victim and I sit down with the defendant and his/her attorney. A retired judge acts as mediator. A lot of times the defendant and/or the victim really need to hear a realistic assessment from an impartial source.

there actually can be some benefits coming out of the pandemic. A lot of entrenched "we always did it this way" processes had to chance on the fly. And some of the creative solutions are actually a lot better!

And all of the above has just become passe anyway, with the latest pronouncement from the CDC. Now if we can just convince the rest of the people to get vaccinated, perhaps we can really put all of this behind us. Isn't that a really nice thought?
One of my kids is visiting and working remotely for a couple of weeks.
The neighbors came over to visit, so we sat on the deck.
A parakeet type bird landed on the railing and started squawking like it wanted some help.
After we kind of puzzled a bit, I got some Ritz crackers, broke them up and put some pieces on the back of my hand. Also put some water in a bowl.
It came over and ate the cracker pieces from my hand, then drank some of the water.
My kid called animal control and also tried to contact a vet who lives a few houses down the street, but the police showed up.
The officer obviously didn't want to take the bird, but thought it was a good idea to capture it.
It did have a band on one of its' legs, buy we couldn't read it.
I grabbed the bird and we put in in a box.
Meanwhile one of the visiting neighbors saw the guy who lives across the street and went to talk to him about the bird, did he have any birdseed?.
A lady randomly riding a bike down the street at the same time said, 'Did you say something about a bird?'.
My neighbor explained about it showing up on the deck.
The lady says she knows someone looking for a bird due to a facebook group posting and texts them.
They say that's their bird and have been looking for it the last couple of days and come over and pick it up.
Here's a pic of one of my neighbors feeding the bird.

There's been reports that some of those same idiots got the karma coming to them, and either burned their cars up, or both the car and themselves.
Oh, that’s a gray-cheek Conure. Same bird we have. Ours is a green-cheek.

I heard a lawyer say under special circumstances giving it to someone who dies could potentially result in you be charged with murder - though it could be hard to prove.
Most people won't react, some will get minor sickness........but do you want to be responsible for making someone seriously sick or killing them? btw...3.3 million in the world have died from covid, it is real!

An older couple paid a guy to build a bridge on their farm. They paid 1/3 up front. The guy was doing a crummy job and they told him to quit and to refund their money. The defendant refused, claiming he had done more than enough work to justify keeping the money. I told the couple that the case would most likely never make it to the jury because the judge would direct a verdict for the defendant because the judge would consider the case to be a civil matter. The old couple whined and pleaded so I said, "What the H***l" and took it to trial. Sure enough, that's exactly what the judge did.
As we are riding down in the elevator after we crashed and burned the old guy thanked me for taking the case to trial. Then he said, "You told us that was going to happen!"
It took every bit of self restraint not to say, "Well, I've been practicing law in this county since 1982, so I kind of get a feel for how things are going to turn out."

So I'll respectfully disagree with the "It'S jUsT tHe FlU!" crowd.
I generally haven't masked outdoors unless I expect to be in a crowd, but that's one area that I am thankful for the relatively low population density here in Louisville. Social distance is pretty easy to maintain. Whenever I'm indoors such as a place of business, I wear a mask and in the absence of any mandates, I'll probably continue to mask whenever I'm around people of unknown vax status, at least for another few weeks. But a month from now? By then pretty much everyone who isn't vaxxed will be by choice, and it shouldn't be on me to support that choice. So when June 11 rolls around and everything is back to full capacity, I'll only be masking where someone still has a posted requirement. Not sure I'll be much for crowds for a while yet, as I've noticed I am pretty quick to become semi-claustrophobic these days.
Wife just got called to Jury Duty in Camden County. I first said to her at least you don’t have to drive into Camden, it will be virtual. Of course I was forgetting that we don’t live in CC any longer and got her excused. I certainly won’t miss having to go to Camden for it.

It's been a good ride with Audi; 15 years of excellence.
New Topic: Insurance still sucks.
Now it's Health Insurance.
Admittedly.... I don't have a lot of experience really NEEDING TO USE my health insurance, but I've probably been with Kaiser for 95% of my life. That's a lot of blue moons on the calendar. The first time I need to get a surgery, it seems it's taking 1/2 year to get it. I got bumped since my procedure apparently isn't important enough. Does anyone find it odd that they can blame COVID for not offering better service and appointment time frames, yet don't return any premiums? They can't really blame Covid since March of this year though. How many months of additional premiums must you submit before you can actually collect an "insurance" benefit in health. SHEESHH. Do you know how much my employer and I contribute over the course of 6 months. Based on that huge dollar amount, I'd say it's unreasonable for Kaiser to have kept me waiting this long. After all, isn't "waiting forever" supposed to the the "CON" of single payer healthcare? Let me chalk up health insurance to just another insurance I'm sorely disappointed in for value.
We won't traffic in conspiracy theory, here.
If you disagree (or agree) with me, keep it to yourself. If you don't like it, feel free to move on.
I might have missed some posts, and some others might have got scooped up inadvertently with the trash. I don't need to know about that.
Thanks!

Funny you should mention their liquor products. My twin brother loves Cognac. He used to buy branded Cognac (VSOP I think) but he tried their Kirkland brand Cognac and fell in love with it - not because it’s 2/3 the price of branded cognac - but because it was actually better! So now all he drinks is the Kirkland Cognac - and he can well afford anything he wants! 🤪😜🤓

Does Costco have a house brand bourbon? I know they have a vodka. I’ve seen it at people’s houses.
