Welcome / open talk

Since my cars aren't remotely new, I do dread the annual safety inspection. Emissions I do not, if I don't have a service engine light, I know my emissions are good.

Well, both cars passed.

The $29.95 coupon is $42.50 hahahahahahahahaha $9 sticker fee, sales tax, shop fees, amazing.

Win 10's updates KB5005539 and KB5005611 have become available and were installed without problems.

Took about 20 minutes but I already had 15.0.0

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.

Because all our state inspections are coming due, I looked up the mileages on our 3 cars.

My wife's SUV is the family car and it went 6,900 over the last 12 months.

My daily driver which was doing 12-14k shocked me--1,400 miles.

Our 3rd car is like 200.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but it seem a significant number of SamsClub gas stations in Southern California are now closed.

Anyone know why?

As always

Thanks in advance.

My wife came back from work last week, and there were curious red splotches and dots on her car. We actually assumed a flock of birds (how silly)?

Turns out it was paint.

Back track to where she parked, and it was near a church.

Hello! Will the "US Diesel Stations" file be updated, started by Rickhawk?

I'm a less government kind of guy, but I have to say the above video shows a good case for red light cameras, and here's why.

September update to Win 10 became available yesterday. It installed without incident and it didn't seem to cause any problems. Description of KB5005565 indicates it's no big deal.

September 14, 2021—KB5005565 (OS Builds 19041.1237, 19042.1237, and 19043.1237)

Some sites are saying it is critical to do the update on all Apple devices. It has been posted today and prevents some form of spyware.

Found this interesting video on youtube: State Feeds Fake Info to Traffic Apps (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL5Z5CQh5K0&t=29s). Information in video is from https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20210829/07470447460/color...

Finally used ours and I must admit they are handy and bang for buck. I even wondered about the tolls but no same as just the car itself.

Now I would not carry 500 lbs because that's a lever and would apply more than that on the tongue of the hitch receiver.
