  1. Chevrolet Traverse RS. Little bigger than an Equinox and a little smaller than the Tahoe. Black inside and out, the RS package blacks out the chrome, black rims, AWD, all leather, two seat second row, dual pane sunroof and Chevy super cruise.
  2. It better look exactly like this because that is what was ordered.
  3. Arrived at the dealership this afternoon, going to see it in the morning.
  4. My new vehicle is built, waiting to be shipped and did not experience any increase in price. 😍
  5. So proud of my niece as she continues her journey to being a human rights attorney.
  6. Money can't buy happiness but it can probably lease it. If it doesn't fit it doesn't belong. An old has been will out do a never will be. Never say never, never say always. You will find that missing object in the last place you look. Indecent and in all the way are two different things.
  7. Makes as much sense as still using pennies when it costs over 3 cents to make one penny.
  8. Cancelled trips to Myrtle Beach and Las Vegas.
  9. ..../\........../\........../\........../\........../\..../\..../\..../\....*thump, thump*..........................................................
  10. Retired in 2011 at 55 years old when I reached my 90 factor. Good job, union wages, 99% indoors and no heavy lifting with all the unsupervised OT you could wish for. With only being 55 I wasn't obligated to go but new technology was coming into the department that would reduce the staff from 6 down to 3 so they really, really needed me to go so they had to buy me out on top of my full pension.
  11. I got a temporary crown on Tuesday, so far so good. The only instructions were nothing chewy or sticky and use caution when flossing. Mine is a bottom tooth, they said ok to floss down but don't pull up, slide the floss out sideways. They're temporary, they need to be able to come out, you'll be thankful for that when the time comes to place the permanent crown. It happens, nobody needs to be blamed.
  12. I stocked up on TP this week ..... because it was on sale!
  13. I've been looking for a location around here without success. There have been a couple of times in recent years where certain solar activity has made the Aurora Borealis visible much farther south than usual but try finding a dark enough location to see it. Last time I was out looking I needed the cars navigation to get back to familiar ground.
  14. Great point, heart disease is rampant in my family. This is occurring very sporadically and seems to be triggered by certain things. Caffeine is the main trigger, hot coffee and ice cold Coca-Cola.
  15. Apparently I have reached the age where heartburn is a thing.?
  16. Amazing story, heartbreaking end.
  17. While vacationing in Orillia I just had to take a side trip to Edenvale. This 1:1 replica has bounced around over the years but seems to have found a permanent home here.
  18. Perfect storm, two people that really wanted it. The guy that lost out was "out" three or four times by the time it was over. I think that same car sold a couple of years ago for considerable less, like under two million. Edit 1969 Dodge Hemi Daytona Destroys Auction Record With $3.3 Million Sale (msn.com) Sold for $1.32 million in 2022.
  19. Anytime I don't have to build an engine is fine by me. Even on builds with engines I'll occasionally borrow one from a previous build instead of going through the process again. I don't display anything so previous builds are donors for future builds. There's only so many times I'm willing to build the same Nascar engine or 426 hemi.
  20. We have cameras at 10 major intersections, soon to be 25 that sends you a $325 ticket if you run a red.
  21. Reminds me of my early days as a pipeline draftsman back in the mid 70s. I was on a job site on railway property with our senior draftsman and he asked me if I had ever seen the Roundhouse. There wasn't much left of it by then but the turn table was still in place.
