Unless you take a lot of pics and videos you don’t need the 512. They even make terabyte phones now which is crazy.

Terabyte...yikes

I remember when a 10 mb bernolli drive was awesome

So to all you tech people what is the benefit to a 256 vs 512 (gig?) Phone.... I can't remember what they are called. The price isn't that much different

If price is no option, then always go for more memory. If you take tons of pics, then you’ll need it.

What he said. If you don't use the cloud *up there* for Mystical Magical *Up There* storage, the 512 will hold lotsa shit.


I got the 512 for my new/rebuilt iPad, mostly because I could. It was under $100 more.

I have no idea where to get gas without ethanol......

Buc-ee's sells 87 octane and 90 octane. I run the 90 octane in my bikes and the 87 in the mower.


And I don't live within 400 miles of a Buc-ee's.


The no-ethanol stores are often in the country and/or near marinas.

For those that want to geek out on gas this morning…If It seems like I’m latched onto this subject like a chihuahua on meth, it’s because I filled the wife’s car up last night and saw this Unleaded 88…never heard of it, but it was .30c cheaper than than the 87 Octane at the pump! So I went home and did some research on it.

I’ll let Scotty K explain it. WARNING…if you get flicker vertigo, don’t watch Scotty’s hands! He’s full of info but hard to watch!

F*ck Scotty. He has no eyes. I've been running 88 "blue" gas in Petunia the Big Red Truck for as long as I've had her (39 months and counting) and never missed a beat. My experience versus Annoying Scotty.


As I tell folks after I go all opinionated (an' shit), go out and have your own experience.

It’s probably a lot closer to you than you think, you just may never have noticed it. It’s about a dollar more per gallon than your usual. A lot of places have it at the same pumps as your other gas. At one time I had to search it out, and if you do, here is a handy site to Find a store near you!

The hoses are usually red at the Sheetz stores. Buc-ee's hoses seem to be the same color (black), I think.


As always, read the label.

Ummmmm....

They all look like they sucked a

I think it must have been at some time. It's a separate bulb with a switch on the cord.

Ours wasn't ceramic. Pretty sure this was one of my mom's "garage sale treasures" and had been homemade. It was made from the artificial tree material you would see on a full size fake tree and the real mini colored lights. Then that fake spray paint flock snow here and there all over it. I forget how the base was put together for it to stand upright. It was only about 8-12 inches tall. So the same size as the ceramic, but not ceramic. With 4 kids? That sucker got knocked over or grabbed numerous times. Ceramic would have been disastrous (mostly for the tree). So I think the materials and construction were another factor maybe??

Off to get ready to hit the road. There be driving ahead.

I’m not all that techie, but I hate shit in the cloud. Just more bullshit to forget, although it is good for back up.

I went with 512 last time and regret nothing. I can find all my photographs whenever I want and queue up a shit load of tunes.

If you don’t take a lot of photographs or keep a lot of songs on your phone, probably not needed.

You can prolly google it or use fuel buddy to find it.

I put full on leaded gas into one Torino. I get it at the local airport. 93 octane leaded fuel for airplanes. Expensive but much better for older engines.

Seeing those old nasty broads makes me wanna drink a lot of liquor.

Tho this one may be a good dominatrix… she looks mean!!

So I got all cultured today. One of my wife’s customers is an art museum, and because she’s on the inside, she got invited to some string Quartet opening.

I went sort of kicking and screaming.

It turned out pretty cool. It was only an hour and a half and the music wasn’t half bad. It wasn’t half good either! But I did get a couple chuckles, because the music sounded exactly like you’d hear in a Warner Brothers cartoon!

I guess something you don’t do every day… at least not me. I’d rather hear the punk rock.

That actually sounds fun.

Our SBowl spread is spinach and artichoke dip, honey BBQ chicken wings, cookies, chips and chicken and dumplings. We do our dumplings the easy way. I cut flour tortillas into long strips.

That with Myers and Coke with a splash of Rumple Minze. Just waiting for kick off.

It was a totally unexpected and nice change of pace!!

Sounds good, I’ll be right over!

We’re going to our neighbors. I just made homemade hummus, and cut a bunch of veggies and into strips..

Off to Hartford for a couple days of work in the morning. Unfortunately, it’s supposed to snow Wednesday afternoon when I’m coming home.

Something is telling me I will be making it a four-day trip instead of a three day trip…

I have never done this, but I sure have rail headed tanks onto railroad cars many times. One of the most nerve-racking and worst things I can ever remember doing in the army.

We did, however, load them onto ginormous ships for transport to Saudi Arabia.

Railhead the tanks, is a nerve-racking thing. As you can see, about 20% of the track on either side is off the side of the rail car. No room for error.
