My buddies had a 307 which in most cases was a gutless piece of crap. His was not. I can't remember everything he had done to the motor but that thing would get with the program.

Oh I know some tricks with those old short stroke 307s. The trick is building a sound bottom end. The other trick is all in the heads cam exhaust and intake. They will wind up

All the way on the other coast some yahoos at Evergreen State College got called to some living quarters on campus after some CO or Carbon Monoxide detectors started going off.  They turned them off and reset it.  Later goes off again, turned off and reset.  Still later goes off again, they rush to look through the window and see some people passed out.  1 died, 2 hospitalized from CO poisoning.

 

They never stopped to think gee, a CO alarm might indicate you know, carbon monoxide?  Does everything have to be a false alarm?  Ever think to call the fire department just to be safe?  Turns out it was due to a recently improperly installed tankless water heater.  Exhaust ventilation was improper and the colorless, odorless gas built up.

From my days as a Volunteer Firefighter. On that call they should have checked behind the fixed system with their own portable checkers. I assume they had them even our rural department in the 90s had 2 on our squad truck

I do not know if he somehow has. But I can tell you where the instructions are. I will not say anything else here because someone may report me.

First, I had to google up this video because I don't click on stuff.  (Okay, I'm a psycho.)  Then I had to look up the Dunning Kruger effect because I had no idea what it was.   But it was worth it.

My eyeballs have incredible light sensitivity. I go outside when it's daytime without sunglasses, a migraine will arrive real quick.

TSLA getting killed. Stock down like 60% from all time high

 

Elon piggy back getting lighter 

 

“Tesla said it delivered 387,000 vehicles to customers in the first quarter, down 20 percent from the previous quarter and down more than 8 percent year-over-year. Ahead of Tuesday’s report, Wall Street analysts generally expected Tesla to report 443,000 deliveries for the quarter, according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives.”

Gosh, it's almost like the bozo running the thing is a raging clown of a fraud - that I've been calling for a good decade. The best thing that could happen is to kick that idiot out and let an actual adult run the company and not an overgrown 15 y/o edgelord. 

 

Or don't. My puts been printing for a solid year now. Indulgent trips to Napa don't pay for themselves 😂

It wasn’t like you ate at Cracker Barrel and drank Gallo red while you were there !  😀😀😀

 

Note, I’m a Southerner (or was) and like Cracker Barrel. So no flames necessary. But it’s not French Laundry or Bouchon.

My wife owns stock. Been telling her for two years to get out. She won't listen.The Bears are going to maul it and it's going to do dead cat bounce for some time.Tesla will end being bought out by a big car company for peanuts.

I've never thought of a french laundry as a place I would want to go eat. If you have to dress up, I'm out. 😄

@BIG STU you'd be proud of me stuey. I bought a Callaway Warbird divine 9 wood today! I've always wanted to try a 9 wood but I didn't want to spend big bucks on a new one. If it works out that could change.😅

flames? every time i’d fly to nashville from japan, first place i went was cracker barrel. just the thought kept me motivated going through immigration, customs, changing planes. yum!

[Jim53]

Because I have to wear glasses all the time, I spring for the extra dark transition lenses and highest scratch resistant coating. It cost, but is well worth it. When I could see it was rayban's for years for the fishing business.

[Jim53]

As a side  note, I really like jameson. Bought a giant bottle at Sam's club for $45 and it is just a nice drink. Off to Colombia tomorrow for a business meeting. I bought a powerball ticket so with my luck I will win and get kidnapped, the wife will say "just keep him"

[aenemated]

Ate at Cracker Barrel in Milwaukee last year when we were out on tour. Couldn't speak of the last time I'd been to one prior. 

 

Good grits. 

 

I'm capable of switching on the NC accent when it seems fortuitous. Amazing how much free food you can get when you drop a legit "Yes ma'am."

Some would say at under $100, it’s more fairly valued and has wrung out this absurd valuation based on autonomous vehicles and scoffed at notion they will sell 20MM cars by 2030

 

They still have well over 50% of the EV market in the US and the growth should continue to be strong. Just not…strong enough to justify the stock price.

The weather is going to put a curb on golf until the weekend. High winds and lots of rain so have my emergency kit ready in case of a power outage.

 

Since I can’t golf, I am getting my club stash organized. I had to make a trip to pick up what @BIG STU refers to as a universal weight kit (lead tape) to adjust the SW on some new acquisitions. 
 

I was in the Classics forum and there was a discussion on early high lofted wedges. I looked through my collection and I have a couple Beckley-Ralston Sharpshooters with 60* of loft from the 50’s or early 60’s. They are heavy and I checked their SW and both are G5, no lead tape required.

Don't see it happening. 

 

Ol Musky is a liability. A dude like me is the target market and I simply will not give that clown any money ever. Even if he got kicked out - which he won't with his stacked board - I still wouldn't. That brand is forever tainted. The whole ridiculous Cybertruck debacle just makes it worse - it was trash when announced and it's trash on the road. When it isn't breaking down or crashing into things. 

 

Joke of a company and a joke of actual cars.
