I talked to some folks I knew back in the day and found out why Ukraine is doing so much damage to the Russian Air Force. The senior Air Force officers for Ukraine were trained by the Soviet Union. They are using a lot of the same equipment on the ground and while their aircraft are older...

I very rarely go into McDonald's. They use way too much salt for my taste. It's not that I have anything against McDonald's, I'll usually stop in one when I'm on the road. The corporate standard means they are all the same and you know what you are getting. At first the kiosk was for cashless...

I was at a party at the GF's sisters house and a fellow there works for Toyota. They are having supply issues also. They have plenty of microchips. They can't get padding for the unholstery.

I'm with you on Ace. Not much more on cost but they know where everything is and can take you right to it. Unfortunately, there isn't one near me. With fuel over $4 a gallon, I try to keep driving down. I was watching TV last night and the guy who sells "My Pillow" is fairly extreme on his...

I went over to Lowe's today to pick up some hardware to get a truck back on the road. Mostly vacuum tubing. While there, I was going to get some boxes and tape for spring cleaning. Maybe $10 total. Went to the check out and nobody there. Went down to the Pro desk. Nobody there either. The guy at...

in the U.S., we changed time a couple of weeks ago. The time keepers at Stonehenge had to rent equipment so it took a little while to change time there.

I heard Lego is doing a special tractor model for today's world.

You can't trade mark normal English. That's why the Flexible Bus company is Trademarked as Flxible.

I wouldn't doubt that his truck will show up in advertising in some way. "So tough it can drive through a tornado".

Talk about not being your time to go! I'd have to use a crow bar for a week to take a dump! At least he kept his head and managed to drive out. I'll bet he was bending the floor under the gas pedal!

It's a cash only price and I suspect I saw it before they raised it for the Thursday price increase. Talked to a friend who pumps oil in the fields. He's been told to slow the pumps down as the oil companies are reducing purchases. My guess, and that's just a guess, is they're trying to keep...

The R.E.M.F. is losing equipment left and right. (Yes, I know what REMF is often used to refer to.) I'll bet Uncle is getting some coins together to buy stuff.

Filled up today. Since I hadn't been to my parents graves in a while, I went across the river and filled up while there. In town, the price went from $4.04 to $4.26 as I watched the sign at a light. Across in Henderson Ky., it was $3.57 credit and $3.47 for cash. As I don't use plastic very...

The gas tax suspension won't make any difference on oil prices. The oil producers have been cutting back on production to keep profits high. It's been so plentiful that share holder profits are hurting.

I've always felt full electric vehicles aren't as clean as the proponents says they are. The statistics I'm aware of are several years old. This is from this year.

Update. I rebuilt the front end and found a bad wheel bearing. On the truck, it seemed okay but I was doing a lot of other work and decided to replace the bearings while everything was apart. With it in my hand, the left one rolled smooth but the right one grumbled in my hand. I still have a bad...

Filled up yesterday at Costco. $3.86.9 a gallon. If people keep reducing their driving, it may stay lower, like this. Around here though, come Memeorial Day, the cars hit the road and it goes up.

Years ago, I had a 1980 Mercedes 300D sedan. It had the bio fuel conversion.You started and shut off running diesel. Then you switched over to used vegetable oil and switched back to shut it off. I had a Vegan neighbor. He was a bit of an ass. I loved to let the car idle when he was cooking out...

Higher octane usually isn't needed. I had a BMW 528i that called for 93 octane but ran okay on lower grades. It just didn't make as much power and get fewer miles per gallon. It got decent mileage and I came close to losing my license with it on the cheap gas more than once.
