The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I'm probably like your mom! A little old lady who doesn't drive that much! My last job, before I retired, required me to drive nearly an hour each way. I have to do all the driving. I mostly don't like it. I so love when I'm with someone who wants to drive!

I also have a 2009 truck with about 25K miles on it. I bought it for my H for his birthday that year. I told him to get everything he wanted on it. Well, he was diagnosed legally blind in December of that year. I was mostly driving my car but I now alternate driving both vehicles.


I would suggest trying to use each at the rate of once a week if possible. I think that vehicles got to Hell if they sit too long. Old bias play tires would get flat spots. Gremlins get into systems and then they require attention. And mice can get in and make nests, too. I attempted to go without a truck and bought a Suburban, and that was a horrible mistake. Those are oversized station wagons. I'll never do without a truck again.


Up and getting running. Time for a coffee refill. Best wishes to everyone for their days, unless you've made Other Plans . . . .
 
Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness. Carry a vision of heaven in your hearts, and you shall make your name, your college, the world, correspond to that vision. Your success and happiness lie within you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer wrappings. The great, enduring realities are love and service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty.

Great quote and thank you
 
My dad worked 2nd shift when I was born. Mom would keep me up until he got home from work so we could have some awake time together. And everyone wonders why I was a night owl.
(30 yrs of 1st shift is breaking that habit)

Wow. That’s a sweet sorry abt your dad and mom keeping you up do you could see your dad.

That’s a great scene from stripes!!

Such a quotable movie. Another (maybe questionable) movie my dad took me to see when I was a teen.

Wife has a toy VW I bought her almost 20 yrs ago. It was her around town grocery getter until we had to get a little bigger touring car for an expanding family. It sat and all the evil you mentioned happened minus the mice (brother in laws toy BMW though fell prey to mice! ) and the flat spots. Drive those vehicles sports fans! My mechanic said 30 good solid miles a week will keep them in top shape. That’s 30m of continuous driving, not stopping and shutting it down at the store…

I will never, ever, go without a truck. They may even bury me in mine sitting in the drivers seat with my cold fingers wrapped around the steering wheel! And one arm on the door with the window rolled down! 🤣
