Ah, I know that from 4WD stuff, as in front tire size has to be same as rear tires but didn’t snap to that the AWD’s and would certainly be sensitive to that.
Highly recommended to replace all the tires at the same time with an AWD car. “In an all-wheel-drive system, the central computer ensures that each wheel gets the right amount of torque. It reduces slippage and maximizes the wheel control. If any of the tires have less tread amount or smaller circumference than the others, the computer will take incorrect… Read more »
And I didn’t get the all-wheel drive. The thought of being required to buy four new tires every time just rubbed me the wrong way.
I didn’t need it anyway. If it snows around here, I won’t be driving.

Texpat@9:23 Heh. I had the Toyota and the Kia at 1 & 2 also. But the most dependable vehicle I had ever owned previously was a Toyota. And they’ve been building hybrids longer than anyone on the planet. And, hell, it was bad enough that I was actually putting myself in a frikkin minivan. But a Kia? No way, José.… Read more »

Kinda not feeling all chipper today. Don’t know if it’s pollen, but that seems the most likely culprit. Staying put indoors all day, except for trip to Lakeway and back, due to wind. Hopefully I’ll be back on my game tomorrow when I get released to mow my yard and do other chores. Plants are looking OK, and I peeked… Read more »
John Solomon had Congressman Jim Jordan on his podcast the other day and it seems he has uncovered who was behind the 51 “intelligence experts’” letter dismissing Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation.

Morning, chickadees! I got up oh-so-late, and only because I had 6 cats on the bed letting me know they were hungry.

Thanks BC. Got a sick patient this morning, wife began having sore throat late last week, turned into really bad head and chest congestion last night. Talked to teledoc this morning, they say it’s viral, not much to do other than send in a script for ‘roids and cough medicine. Love the ObamaCare teledoc service, free!

I was out of town for my nephew’s wedding in Scottsdale AZ, from last Thursday through Sunday afternoon. There were over 20 kids at the wedding who were under 10 and most of my 5 siblings and their spawn did not make the trip. Fertility does not seem to be much of a problem in my family. I did not… Read more »
OH, and I scrounged another tote from the side of the road yesterday. Saved me about $7. Times that by the number of roadside items, I’m definitely gardening on a budget. Most of my totes are scrounged or bought at thrift stores for $4 – even the big ones. My chairs, too. I can use broken ones, so I get… Read more »
From the C&C comments: I have to take issue with your statement regarding the Jabs: “Imagine that, when you rush production, mistakes happen. I bet some people would’ve benefited from knowing about that risk, instead of being told “this is the safest vaccine rollout in history.” — This was’t an accident. They pushed the most dangerous batches to conservative states.… Read more »

You’ll know you have it if during this summer’s allergy season, you have mildly… Read more »
More jab science: Researchers injected free spike protein (same as the type from the ‘vaccines’) directly into mice brains. They discovered that being exposed to spike protein destroyed brain synapses and caused neuro-inflammation, memory loss, and cognitive dysfunction between 30 to 45 days after exposure. They also found the spike’s neurotoxicity seemed to be related to the brain’s immune-response, and… Read more »

Academic freedom !?!? Got any other jokes ? What happens if you are an academic whose research contradicts The Narrative™?

To have the ‘purchasing power’ of $100,000 each year you will clearly need an annual salary higher than that, but how much more will depend on local taxes and the cost of living.

Ah, I know that from 4WD stuff, as in front tire size has to be same as rear tires but didn’t snap to that the AWD’s and would certainly be sensitive to that.
It’s one reason I blew off my dream car, the Subaru Outback. (And the fact that I wanted/needed more room for my tools and crap.)
Subarus are all full-time AWD.
Highly recommended to replace all the tires at the same time with an AWD car. “In an all-wheel-drive system, the central computer ensures that each wheel gets the right amount of torque. It reduces slippage and maximizes the wheel control. If any of the tires have less tread amount or smaller circumference than the others, the computer will take incorrect… Read more »
Not understanding what you mean by having to buy tires on an AWD, do they wear them out faster?
And I didn’t get the all-wheel drive. The thought of being required to buy four new tires every time just rubbed me the wrong way.
I didn’t need it anyway. If it snows around here, I won’t be driving.

That was interesting he was on for the full hour and will be back tomorrow. BTW; Elon Musk has a subtle sense of humor.
Elon is on Tucker
I THINK JUNIOR IS BACK!
I see him or his cousin in the back yard.
But will he stay?
Either way, it makes me happy.

I went ahead and clicked on the last link in Tedtam’s #8.
I encourage you to take an hour to watch Robert Kennedy interviewing Sasha Latypova.
She explains the bogus legality of the U.S. COVID response and why the entire operation had to be run by the Department of Defense.

Eddie Gallagher has dropped the bomb on Dan Crenshaw. Whatever you think of Crenshaw, believe me, it’s worse.
The video is 11:43 and I watched every second of it.

This one is very special. You will never forget that smile.
