My spouse knows very well how to drive a stick-shift car, but in an automatic she always brakes with her left foot (I'm not convinced that is such a good idea). And her complete stops are not very smooth at all. Then there is the time I rented a U-haul to move from Texas to California. We towed...

Yes, one of the few times recently I didn't overreact to someone else's shortcomings. Getting more and more cranky the older I get it seems.

I raised the front of the '65 Signet convertible (jack stands placed) to find where the slack in the front suspension was coming from underneath (looks like an idler arm nut came loose at first glance). At the same time, I greased all the zerk fittings (they were all present and accounted for...

Thank you very much for the warning. I told the girl exactly what you said and she denied being some kind of cheat. Well, time will tell!

Lady said she spent $200 grand too. Is that even possible?

That's a good way to put it.

Was chatting on "Whatsapp" with a young lady who is a graduate of Florida State University who majored in "monetary finance". For some reason, still to be determined, she looked me up on a website Expat.com When she told me she had purchased an AMG for herself, I had no idea what kind of car...

This is what good humor is all about (reality vs. fantasy): During a commercial airline flight an experienced Air Force Fighter Pilot was seated next to a young mother with a babe in arms. When the baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as...

Oh, woe is he who chooses to displace his little brother 383, my beloved first born, with a big bad 440.

Thou shalt honor and respect Mother Satellite and not build tributes that defame her, for in the beginning the Satellite was the mother of all such offspring that came after her.

MSN predicted 1% chance of rain today, just rv'd fifteen minutes of a light sprinkle.

Worker recently installed a stop sign in front of an existing stop sign.

A summer song video for you (and me):

... I would purchase two pair of new shoes because my feet are different sizes and it would be nice to have a perfect fit for each one of them. I could give away the two left-over non-matching sized shoes to charity. Your turn: If I Had the Money ...

Move in with this family:

May become mine in the not too distant future.

Evidently he was saved by the Kevlar vest he was wearing.

Trivia: Why did they refer to the kid as "beaver"? Well, the story goes that "Theodore" was difficult to pronounce as a youngster, so it came out kinda like "beaver" and it stuck. Not sure if it was Wally who had the phonetic problem or Theodore himself.

Who's That Girl?

Yawning and drinking a fresh squeezed glass of orange juice in one long, continuous gulp. Any more come to mind?

True stories: My wife and I were visiting my step-daughter in Santa Barbara, CA when I came down with a UTI (urinary tract infection) which would seem to hit me every one or two years or so. Step-daughter was familiar with a local urgent care center, so the three of us went to the clinic...

Dad always wore cowboy boots and ate anything and everything he wanted, smoked from the age of ten up to 50 when he finally quit. Only saw him run one time in my life, behind the barn in some kind of urgent situation (I don't remember the details). He lived to be 86 years old.

"Playboy" days (circa June 1976):

I changed my name (legally) on December 18, 2013 via a $400.00 petition filed in Superior Court. Never liked being named after Dad, Grandfather, and sharing a name with a first cousin.

I noticed a small hole in the bottom of a 20 kilo sack of dog food kibble (and some rodent droppings around). Later that evening, Camelia the Doberman was sniffing around there after hearing something scurry in the corner after dark. Set a small mouse trap with a scrap of cheese, which was...

I have noticed that many people answering interview questions substitute "absolutely" for the word "yes". Does not bother me too much, just an observation the word is popping up more and more.
