RIP 😞 https://whdh.com/entertainment/cheers-star-george-wendt-dead-at-76/

I've been derelict in my duties in getting rid of the dust in my place so I spent an hour cleaning. Next were the cars in the display cases. The last one, an AMC Rambler by Johan was the dustiest of them all. I blew into the interior to get the dust out and it just about covered my face.

No luck Michelle. Sorry. 😞

It's a long shot Michelle but I'll check my parts stash. It's loaded from 20 plus years of spare parts getting chucked into it.

I needed a birth certificate and SS card to renew my Class B CDL back in Sept. of 2020 before my birthday for the first time per Federal and State law. I'll need to do it again next year.

It's Friday, I got paid and here's something that got it started off great. The Karma Cop pinched a lead foot who's been blowing the stop sign on my school bus for a while. Mr. KC was in an unmarked Ford Taurus that looked like others out on the road. As soon as Richard Petty raced by the sign, Mr. KC pounced on him siren, lights and all. The parents, myself and my monitor (A lady assistant) all cheered. 🙂

My congrats to her on getting the license,

It'll be rainy and chilly right through tomorrow. The heat for the building was shut off on the first but thankfully, I have my trusty space heater.

The doctor offered one but the clinic didn't have any on hand at the time. It'll send one out to me in the mail once more arrive.

I was at the VA clinic this afternoon to get my blood pressure checked and the doctor was pleased that it went down quite a bit. He put me on a second prescription and it seemed to have help. I'll be going back on the 21st on this month.

The local news called for rain much of the weekend here in Eastern Massachusetts but it turned out better than expected. I came in not long ago from a few hours of cruising in the 08 Corolla. Partly cloudy with the sun peeking through and mid 70s,.

NOAA discovered a 40 or 41 Ford Woodie Convertible inside the hangar deck of the WW2 carrier USS Yorktown some 3 miles below the surface. It looks surprisingly intact for being below the ocean surface and at that depth for over 80 years.

Cool looking concept. From the design, it's paying homage to the 63 Vette.

I do. It's one the "Century Series" fighters of the 50s and early 60s.

I was reading the Facebook page of Atlantis over the weekend and it disclosed that it has the tooling for the ex Monogram Poison Pinto but it's been altered. Atlantis also disclosed that at the earliest, the kit will be released in early 2026 after it restores the tooling to it's original state. I know from reading some comments before, there's a bit of hunger for it's return.

I got my assigned school bus back yesterday a month after it blew the head gasket. It was towed to an outside shop that my boss has a contract with. Our mechanics only do general maintenance and repairs. It took that long because another bus was in the middle being worked on at the shop.

Just got through watching an hour of Karma Cop videos on YouTube. Some of the drivers are such morons. A couple even cut off the cops in their fully marked cruisers. A complete NO NO.

You have yourself a nice house there. Very well maintained and the real estate it's sitting on looks quite roomy. My congrats to you.

Just got through paying off my 08 Corolla with my mechanic. He's allowed me to make payments on it for the last 5 weeks. I'm happy and he's happy that he has more money to keep the lights in his shop on.

I drove to the main VA center in Bedford Mass to pick up a prescription of blood pressure pills and my newly purchased 08 Corolla performed absolutely flawlessly on the Interstate. Even with 170,000 on the clock, it's far peppier than my old Accord that it replaced. Along with that, I'm getting better MPG and at idle, the engine is silky smooth not to mention it drove like it was on rails. I"M HAPPY. 🙂

Sunny but high 40s today. I have my space heater and the kettle on for hot drinks.

The kids are off from school this week and I'll be taking it easy. I won't get paid for it but I have 4 personal days on the books that'll I'll use to cover that shortfall.

If greed hadn't existed, the world would be a better place for all. Unfortunately, there are still lowlifes who'll make a fast buck swindling anybody such as our senior citizens as Slusher has pointed out.

No school for the kids today and next week so I'll be taking it easy. Today was a nice sunny day so a lady friend and I went to New Hampshire for the day and the 08 Corolla I bought recently performed flawlessly. We even had a great lunch at a family owned restaurant up there before coming home.

Old Man Winter is still hanging tough in some parts of the country.
