Nope.. me qnd lilianna outflanked you and captured (lured) away your troops

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

Get the 512. It's the amount of memory available to store photos, videos, and other files. Do this especially if your phone doesn't have an SD card slot.

I dont take a lot of pics.... but do download docs from my 3 different jobs

Girl! What are you doing with 3 jobs?!?!? Don't you know all work and no play makes our Special K a tired girl??

I love those Clydesdales!

We went to a festival and they were there
Actually got to pet them

I will! I never thought about gas. It is just something that makes stuff go. I think we do use regular gas in the boat. It has an outboard motor. IDK if that makes any difference.

I call it "pusholine."

I bought gas this afternoon and took a picture of the pump to show you. There are three pumps nozzles. The one on the right is the 3-4 blends of "standard" gasoline, which is usually 10% ethanol these days. The green one on the far left is some concoction called Auto-Diesel. Think "diesel" and disregard it. Not for you. The second one in from the left is blue and says it's ethanol free. More expensive, but since you're only buying for small engines, price isn't an issue.


Wat: Thinking only of others . . . .

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!

"Chihuahua on meth!"

I worked in and old factory building for a few years. I don't know the correct names for it but there was a power shaft that ran down the center of the building and there were drive belts between it and equipment that needed power. There were also some old drawings that were done in ink.

And they probably used giant hit or miss motors to power it, or water, or maybe even a steam engine. Some of those factory’s were amazing how they could repurpose and reconfigure all the tools and machines.

Last week's delivery outfit fucked it up and then asked for "feedback." I wrote:


It said on the label "put package in box on porch." The package was left at the edge of the porch where any porch pirate could easily see and steal the fucking thing. It's this failure to follow simple fucking instructions which gives me no hope for humanity.


How likely am I to recommend them?


What day is Hell freezing???

 

[Wonderer67]

After working crazy hours my whole life, and driving through crowded roads commuting into London for 35 years, I am SO glad I'm retired.

I said goodbye to a toxic job, then set about cleansing all the toxic people from my life.

I am super fit and playing more sport than ever before, and my wife and I are spending more time together than ever before (in and out of the bedroom)...

Sounds like a good and healthy continuation of things and boundaries.

Done for the day, so off to sleep.

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.

Does the Army spring for the optional backup camera?

 

[Missk_2022]

Girl! What are you doing with 3 jobs?!?!? Don't you know all work and no play makes our Special K a tired girl??

Well.2 of them are not very many hours qnd easy ..... I still have plenty of time on my hands

 

[Lilianna23]

I have done today what I did yesterday.....nothing

Noone has invited me to watch the game so I am gonna keep on doing the same thing

I called my contractor in the middle of the game and yelled at him! Then I made snacks and watched KC get their butts handed to them.

 

[Missk_2022]

Did you find a better place to stay? Or are you home for a bit?

Kick.ass and take names ......

 

[Missk_2022]

Well off.to bed...see you all tomorrow.....

 

[dkak001]

Winding down here. Good night everyone.

Great, heavy-duty gearhead stuff right there!
I love it!

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday...
Oh, don't do that... hearing that old racing slogan just reminds me how close it is to the weekend's end


I the brains that can see something and think... there's another application for that technology. Life saving!
Medical grade super glue is just one of many

You know that foam insulation used in construction/home projects?
Developing a quick-acting foam for treating wounds on the battlefield

How about those Dollar Store "Magic Towels" that expand from a tablet to a washcloth when you add water? This innovative, wound-filling sponge just saved its first soldier

Wish my brain were wired to see those types of alternative applications


Yes!! There are at least 4 viruses this year that are more virulent than previous years... they are all active and hospitals are again swamped dealing with patients.
Search for "quademic" and you'll be flooded with articles.
Canada: The winter ‘quademic’? You may be sick with one of these 4 viruses

United States: ‘Quad-demic’ Hitting US With Flu, COVID-19, RSV, Norovirus Surging

Yes, but remember the more you feed/water the more they need to go out. Circular argument... but needed. Unless robotic, I would never advise against feed/water for animals.

So glad everyone with these near misses is okay.
They will shave some time off your life... and chrome off your bumper.

Take care and feel better soon!!
Duct tape is an awesome tool... but best to have something between it and your skin whenever possible. So, cover with appropriate bandage and then a shirt or pants before wrapping the duct tape around yourself.

Right? We were raised doing assigned chores - all of us kids, not just the girls. All my siblings do the same with their kids... and share the chores with their spouses.

I love this! Just the experience desired for taking and saving the snaps. Hope your sister enjoys them just as much!

Works really well to elicit information and get heavy stuff moved... less so when shopping for a car - at least around here. The Bewbie Surcharge is steep in these parts! I always have someone with a penis with me when auto shopping. Saves time, money, and irritation (well, some)

Connecting with animals is sublime and so rewarding

You mentioned it a few weeks ago, but no link... is it this one?

13 niblings... the need for storage space is real!

depends on file type and content in my experience

Yes - apps, doc types and content, pics, videos...
I always buy the most memory I can afford and check for options for internal storage and buy the largest storage card the device will take.

Seriously peeved at the direction to not include options for internal storage on cell phones, etc. anymore. Many apps take a lot of memory... and so many companies are offering content via apps now!




Thank you all for the info and links about gas.
Even with cars, lots advise to take a 30 min Sunday drive on the Interstate once a week. Highest MPH helps blow the cobwebs out (or dissolve the sugar???)

I can confirm... Midwest is lousy with what I consider misleading labeling at the pumps.
You would think only the 2 pumps to the left have ethanol since they're clearly labeled as Ethanol fuel.

Safe travels, Wat

I love car shopping! I learned to haggle at the Italian farmer's markets. I usually research the car with the options I want then decide how much I want to pay (within reason). I'm never afraid to walk away from a "deal."

Early in our marriage, my husband wanted a Chevy Blazer. We made the rounds at several dealerships and found one exactly as he wanted. I was doing all the negotiations, even though the salesmen tried to talk to just him. He kept directing them back to me. They weren't meeting me, so we got up to leave. One of the salesmen followed us out to our car with, "The fleet manager JUST walked in!" Riiiiiight. I told them no.

We drove to another dealership, ended up talking with an owner, agreed to a price (even with aftermarket stuff he wanted) when he said he would look for one. I told him about the one we had just driven. He did a dealer trade for it the next day and my husband got his Blazer in a week!

That's pretty common for women... I wear a clodhopping size 11 in womens (9.5 mens - they're cut wider). Most of my sisters are between 5.5 and 7.5 Nothing dainty about me. So if you need to feel small, dainty, and or feminine... come sit by me... I don't bite (unless asked nicely)

I have huge feet, too! My joke is I go to shoe stores and ask for the boxes!

 

[cowboyup6977]

My husband is that way
He tells them give us there best price
If he doesn’t like it no haggling we just walk out
We saved 10,000 dollars on our truck but we walked out of a few
They went to say something and he told them
They had there chance

Your emotional support racoon, M?

 

[Lilianna23]

Weird.... I knew q grown qss woman who bought kid shoes..... it was weird

Some really cool shoes only come in kid sizes. Like light-up sneakers!

 

[Lilianna23]

Well, it's a Monday!
Just spent the majority of the last 2 hours changing a user's access in 2 applications... only to find out their transfer date changed... then had to put it all back to its original state. If that had been communicated even 5 minutes earlier...
So - how you doin'?


There's always the rearview mirror or even the vanity mirror.

shoes, clothes - I've known a few. The clothes were often less expensive but not a big break on the shoes. Kids shoes are not cheap!

Early in... early out. Sounds fair to me

That's the spirit!!

Like these???
OM's adult light up shoes post (below)

Don't these look fun???

Ah, border battles...
Green Bay - Chicago
Green Bay - Minnesota

Do the shoes make one dance like that? I actually want some light-up shoes!
