Don't be obtuse. But when they tell you Pi R Square, they're WRONG. Pie are ROUND. Meatloaf are square.

I had something similar happen last week. I heard a noise coming from a spare bedroom that we use for storage. Dog wasn't interested, but I went to look anyway. It was a bird pecking on the outside of the window.

😤🤯 I pretty much hate you right now!

( just kidding I’m jealous) 

I grew up in Ohio, so I don't blame you. Heck, it was only a couple weeks ago that I finally put the top back on my Jeep. It'd been off since about March.

Then there's this: Death of Trial by Jury: UK Govt Insists It Must Destroy The Village to Save The Village. The UK government’s justice minister David Lammy launched into a full-throated defence of his plans to deprive suspects of a chance to be judged by 12 of their peers, insisting he has a superior understanding of Magna Carta and that the “emergency” justifies doing away with ancient rights.

Must not been much of a horse if it couldn't catch a girl.

[how long should a fuel pump be good for?]

Fuel pumps stopped being powered by the engine when Fuel Injection became common. A carburetor only needs about 7 or 8 psi to work. Fuel Injection needs much more, and an electric pump can supply it. The engine in my Jeep is the now defunct 4.0 Litre. The Muddog is a 2002 model and the fuel rail runs at about 55 psi. I'm sure that newer engines use much more than that.

its time to tell people on social media they are going to see things they dont like - get over it , or , dont look , no one told them to look , no one forced them to look , they elected to do that as a free person , live with what you chose to look at or dont look , 

I would say that it's time to tell people to stop posting their lives on social media. Nobody really gives a crap, and look what it got THIS guy. 

The Saloon here is literally the closest to social media I participate in.

I made a couple comments that I initially believed to be self deprecating and funny, but after consideration felt insulting.

And as it was NOT my intention to insult; I removed them.

No need for self deprecating comments, if we want to insult you, we will.

Many years ago, my ex-sister, her husband, and her daughter had family portraits made. Her husband was a HUGE fat guy, had to be 400 lbs if he was an ounce, and a jackass for every bit of it. 

They, of course, presented my parents with a 9X12 copy of it and expected them to display it. They put it on a side table in the Living Room. My Mom hated this guy so badly, that she took a dish towel and draped it over his part of the picture.

Unfortunately, most fuel filters are now inside the tank, and are considered to be "lifetime" items.

I have less than 73,000 original miles on this 86 truck. My mechanic tells me that's one of the problems. I need to drive it more. I probably put 500 to 1000 miles on it a year. Maybe

How much fuel do you keep in it? Modern gas has alcohol in it which destroy s nearly everything it come in contact with. If the fuel sits in the tank for more than a few months I'd bet that has a lot to do with it. 

I have a '06 Mitsubishi Raider, (Dodge Dakota with different sheet metal) that is a backup vehicle for us, and gets used rarely. I doubt that I've put a thousand miles on it since 2021, my last Az. to Ohio trip. I keep less that a quarter tank in it until I go to use it. I add enough new fuel to get the job done and dilute the old fuel.

I've also got a solar panel on the dash keeping the battery charged.

You also need to remember, Oswald was a Marine.

I'm thankful for not having to drive 2+ hours in holiday traffic to eat a poorly cooked meal of food I don't like with obnoxious relatives.

 

I'm also thankful I don't have to go anywhere on Black Friday and deal with people.

 

All my relatives are back in Ohio, 1800 miles away, and I haven't spoken to any of them since 2008. No bad blood, except for my ex-sister, just no contact. 

As for Black Friday, it was GREAT. There was almost NOBODY at the gym.

Congrats on your success and sticking with it until you found the answer. Hopefully the old computer and new OS will be fast enough to run your taxes. GL!

It should be. It doesn't get used at all anyway. I don't know exactly when or why she got the things. She got them back when I was still working, her and our daughter brought them home and set hers up all while I was at work. 

It sits back in her "office" that mostly houses stuff we find at yard sales. She normally uses either the desktop I'm on now, which sits just off the kitchen, or my laptop which sits on the kitchen table. It's being on this week while I did what I did is the most it's been powered up for years. And I don't see any reason to do so again until tax time.
