Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

These multi-part waxes mean that you have to do the entire body more than once. Now I just use a car wash that has wax in it and a foam gun. Not as nice as a deep shine but a lot easier on the back.

Did you not buy your car to serve you rather than you to serve it? Unless it is a trophy piece, of course.

An opioid is serious stuff.

Tramadol never did anything to relieve pain for me. It did however put me in a darn good mood...for a while at least.


Right on both counts! That was just my lame old f:spit:rt attempt at humor. I actually haven't touched my remaining Tramadol since my back surgery a few years ago. (Probably expired by now.) Yes, it's very strong! But it was the only thing that even touched my pinched nerve pain to allow me to sleep. And yes, the feeling was akin to my recollections of being drunk many decades ago. Also like the dental surgeon's gas at my last root canal. Ah! The memories. :unsure:

I used Meguiars paste wax. The truck hasn't been waxed in a very long time. I put 2 coats on it. I am cleaning it up to try for the best trade in value. I want a Lexus IS-F.
 
What I found to relieve pain that did work was a leaf powder akin to the coffee plant called Kratom. It's been used for generations in the east where it is prolific. That did relieve pain and had positive mood enhancement without making you nuts and, it is available at your favorite head shop, gas station, etc...probably soon to be put on the no-no list in many states.
But unfortunately, like any pain reliever, it loses it efficacy as your body adapts. By that time it becomes a habit like cigarettes if you let it.

The IS-F is nice car. If I were to buy another vehicle, I’d seriously consider an electric. A neighbour has Teslas, nice cars. If I was in the country, I’d want gas or diesel.

They might be great in some areas. If one lives in South FL, you can't get out of the state on 1 charge. Especially taking I75. IDK how long they take to recharge, but when I go on trips, if I don't cover 550 miles a day, it's a waste. This Saturday, I'll be driving 140 miles, picking up my daughter and driving another 110 miles (to a place with no chargers), be there ~3 hours then drive back. Not enuff range.
 
Here is the little tyrant guarding his feeder.View attachment 4389397

We have dozens here right now, both migrants and year rounders. Two six oz. feeders depleted ~ every two days. I haven't gotten around to my yearly baby picture ritual, but here's one from a few years back:

Recharging is was always a concern, especially when I did a lot of highway driving. There seems to be a good network at rest stops, even at shopping centers. My parking garage has them, downtown they are on the street, like parking meters only you charge while parking. Tesla range depends on the model, the model S can travel 400 miles on a charge. Cold weather decreases efficiency.

For what I do/where I go, I'd consider a hybrid minivan. But since I just bought my gigmobile in late 2019, not any time soon.
