Got sets of takeoff tires with great tread for the 911 and the blue XJ6. Free. Not exactly the right size for either of 'em, but they're each sitting on four totally rotten flats right now. Just need to be able to roll them under cover to get 'em running again.

Heavy rain on the way, tomorrow AM. We'll see if my makeshift roof patches hold.

"Experience" is widely thought to be something only past-it boomers value and rely on now that anyone can become an instant expert on any topic by watching a few minutes of YooToob video or accepting whatever gibberish search-engines and AI vomit up, and nuance, context, complexity, and critical thinking have become largely unknown concepts in the instant-gratification era.

It's the best racing film I've ever seen, and one of the best films, period. Free on YouTube right now...but don't try to watch it on YT without AdBlock or the paid no-advert YT tier.

6 oz. box of raspberries for 99 cents, which is $3 off the regular price...and they're not even moldy. In other news, I found and restored the 1/4 inch of clearance I mysteriously lost under the dash of the '66 Chevelle, between the HVAC box and the relocated OEM control head. I'm happy.

I'm running a little late. Finally watching "Rush" 12 years after the rest of the planet.

I sho' nuff do love that color...

Yes, yes yes yes, yes. Indeed.

"Retired" doesn't have much meaning to me anymore, 'cause it now looks like I'll be working until the end of my days.

And people want this idiot box to handle medical diagnostics, write code, and generate summaries of legal precedents...among other critical functions. Whoopee. Artificial idiocracy.

Yup. It does that from time to time. Pretty cool, huh?

Yeah, anyone with any semblance of a brain knows it's vastly more important to be able to get 12 contradictory answers to any question, run talking customer-service bots that have even less clue than minimum-wage humans, and generate deep-fake videos of things like Teddy Roosevelt charging up San Juan hill with a regiment of genetically-engineered opposable-thumbed cats than to be able to actually make things in the physical realm.

That would be a reasonable assumption, but yesterday and the day before were the same as today, same barometric pressure, same overnight temp, same humidity...and I felt kinda like dog snot both days. Today I feel really, really good. Need to get cranking and make the best of it.

Odd. Some days I wake up feeling every bit of my 130 years. Other days I feel as good as I did in my 30s. Today is one of those days. Thanks to who knows.

These might be what you're looking for...unless you mean 3/4 ton https://www.modelhaustires.com/collection/800

Procrastination is the art of not doing today what you can do tomorrow, or even, if you're a master at it, next week.

"Now" isn't always optimum, as factors can come into play that absolutely require delay.

Yup. That's the unfortunate truth of it.

"Honest", to most people, either means you haven't been caught in a big lie yet or you're accomplished at spinning whatever you say so you can CYA later.

Gum-chewing and walking simultaneously really was too much for a girl I knew a long time back, and she couldn't smoke and walk either, honest.

Is that what they mean when they talk about all the "opportunities" if / when heavy manufacturing comes back to the USA? Asking for a friend.

Yes, exceptionally well done.

Always an inspirational treat to see scratch-built brass chassis work.

Radio waves beamed from nefarious players trying to reprogram your brain can be effectively blocked by hats made of tinfoil.

Here's one for youse fellers who might want to build the ultimate what-if stovebolt 6...a Wayne DOHC head. It may or may not have ever run.
