Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

[Colonel Midnight]

For most drivers, simplicity and reliability are what matters most. Who cares if your car can go 0-150 in 10 seconds flat if even your fastest roads have a 65-mph speed limit?

Because, you know, you have to ‘drive it like you stole it’… *oy*

Watching idiots like that out here in Hawaii is even more hysterical - when the freeway is only 24 miles long… they arrive what, 20-30 seconds before a ‘normal’ driver? Is that really worth putting yourself and other drivers at risk?

Cheers,

It was either late spring or early summer when a young couple drove up and wanted us to service their Land Rover.
That elicited an immediate "Nope" from the shop manager and the technicians.
A vehicle like that, you take to the dealership to have it serviced.
It's one of the few vehicles our technicians won't touch.​

Remind me not to get one. Nothing sucks worse thsn being tethered to a dealership. Especially if it goes out of business.

Our Harley Davidson dealership did that, but their repair shop is still operating.

Me too, but I also like some other holidays, so I give them their turn.

Christmas ads before Halloween is some bullshit.

Really. Save it for Black Friday.

I'm not a big Halloween person.

I go all out for Christmas.

I have several...

Christmas - I go all out with lights and decor and ugly sweaters. And assorted sweets, naturally.

Halloween - Put up lights and some decor. And I dress up for the kids.

New Year's - My Christmas lights are still up snd no way am I going dark this near the solstice. So I drink champagne and start "SPIRIT FOLK" at 11:49:35.

Hsnksgiving Weekend/Martin Luther King weekend - Put up and take down Christmas decorations. It's an extensive operation.

Valentines Day - Aside from the candy, this holiday sucks. But I still put up red/white/pink lights because February here is dreary.

Easter - Dye eggs, sometimes. And participate in my church Easter egg hunt.

4th of July - Go to the local reservation and set off fireworks. So does everyone else. By dark, it's like a continuous grand finale... or an artillery barrage.
