Health
Not complaining, simply reminiscing. Over the years, I’ve
driven many poorly performing vehicles.
One, a Ford Courier purchased in Kent,
WA was running on three cylinders. I
drove to it 1,400 miles to Brighton, CO.
Top speed, 50+ mph. Crossing 1-80 in Wyoming, got behind a bull hauler and
drafted him 180 miles at 85-90 mph. There are dozen more examples.
Now 81, I’m down to 1/3 of my teeth. My gums won’t
tolerate dentures. My knees are shot, my left shoulder has a separated tendon,
and I’m having problems with my left hip. Conclusion? All those years of
nursing along old crappy vehicles were preparation for the mental challenges of
a body long past usable service date.
Pigs Fly
A bill introduced again in Congress by two communists,
excuse me, Democrats that I can applaud.

The devil will be in the details. Since (P)regressives
are sponsoring it, some details will likely be “gotcha”.
Wyoming Trivia
The Cody mayor might not use her booking photo for a
campaign poster. Will her arrest hurt her re-election chances? Likely no, in
Wyoming.

Something I wasn’t aware of. 1,000 a week? To be clear, I’ve
never fired any of their product. Revolvers are what I prefer.
Buying Vehicles
The internet is awash with, “how to buy a car” videos.

Many, for a small fee, will help you out!
In 1986 I started selling Suzuki Samurais as a stop gap
until I could find another construction management job. To my surprise, I started
making big dollars and was home in my own bed every night. I started reading
every book on the subject of buying cars, from the consumer’s point of view. Dirty
pool? Tough shit. Today, the amount of information available on the internet is
over whelming.
These experts all seem to dwell on the “out the door
price”. Good advice.
The flaw in all this strategy is this; the seller/dealer
isn’t obligated to sell to you, the consumers, on your terms. They own it, you
want it, and the strongest “weapon” the seller has is, NO! The seller knows
there is an ass for every seat. If not yours, someone else. Likewise, they will negotiate their way, not yours, if they want. Go along, or walk away, is your choice.
So do your homework and make an effort to be prepared.
Consider the amount of time you need to work for the money in the first place
against the time you spend preparing.
Extended warranties? Just say no. Just as a seller can
say no, a repair facility has no obligation to accept a third party payer and that payer's terms and stipulations.
Pro tip. Unless you are paying in dead Presidents, the
dealer has two customers; you and whoever is financing the purchase. On your
own, visit your bank or credit union first, to find out what kind of loan you
will qualify for.
In my personal life, I deal with credit unions. The only
bank I have any dealings with is Chase for the Amazon credit card.
As always, YMMV

There's an old joke about a lost dog, described as one-eyed, no teeth, three legs and answers to the name of "Lucky" that comes to mind. Well, I'm not quite there but I'm catching up fast.
A farmer friend was buying those little Suzuki's to use as utility vehicles around the farm. Remove the doors and roof and for a while were a lot cheaper than the Gators and what-not, he could buy one for a thousand or 1500 or so. Not so much anymore, the dang things have become popular for some reason and prices have increased right along with the popularity.
Dammit, that was me telling about the lost dog and the Suzuki's.
I like the Montana Solution. Dizzy Lizzy comparing the Yellowstone pack to free-roaming packs shows she just doesn't get it.
HAH! An Ass For Every Seat.....!! I remember the first time I heard that, around 1973. My buddy who's Dad owned the Pontiac dealership said it was something he heard from his Dad.
We were going to finance our Chevy Colorado through the Credit Union we have the house financed at, and GM Finance beat their rate! I guess a FICO score of 840 helps......
Yep, but SSS still works... Sorry to hear you're having problems.
Father time and past poor judgement.
I will let this one pass but please, put a name to your comment.
Reinforce the axles and you have a near bullet proof utility vehicle.
A FICA over 800 means you have earned the right to whatever you want financially.
I think that applies to most of "us"!
Hunter Biden is an embarrassment to his family and to our nation.
He is a person who will not take accountability for his actions.
Some of those actions are:
- having a daughter out of wedlock and refuses to let her use the Biden name.
-years of drug use but did not take accountability
- having a relationship with his brothers widow
-pursuing international business deals based on his name knowing it put his father in an awkward position
- the latest is blaming others for his fathers demise; clooney, democrats, ambien. The ultimate excuse make..
And on another subject!
How Dare You Accuse Obama Of Something Most Of Us Knew He Was Guilty Of All Along, Says The Media
Let’s be clear: protecting the vote is not suppression, it’s responsibility. And Republicans believe that the actual threat to American democracy isn’t coming from election safeguards, but from a Democratic Party increasingly willing to weaponize government institutions, block basic accountability, and flood elections with confusion and chaos How dare we accuse Obama of treason.
Even though the evidence is clear, the MSM is desperately trying to run interference for Obama.
That's a typical tactic. They begin shouting and interrupting as soon as you start blowing their lies all to Hell. They have been doing this for yesrs. At least as long as it was when Madam Hillary smashed her cellphone with a hammer, and wiped her computer’s Harddrive “WITH A RAG!
Their usual tactic is drowning out the iron-clad proof you're presenting by talking or shouting over you.
It's what they do.
Here is a prime example of the tactics they will use to defend the criminal activity of their favorite former President:.Thank God that Trump has exposed all of this.
And yet Obama and his people claimed Trump and his campaign actively colluded with the Russian Government to steal the election. And there was zero evidence of that. Obama and his people made it up. There was no collusion
