BRRRRR ! I don't miss those temp's or the snowy white stuff! Stay safe and warm out there! It's a balmy 5 am here, more rain around 3am temps' @26cels / 78.8F mostly cloudy again. I do get tired of this constant rainy season, hard to plan a day off the mountain into the city. The weather here can change in minutes, from sunny to sudden rain showers lol.

Once again Davy you articulate explanation on your views hit the nail on the head !! lol.....I've never liked or needed "big brother"/ the boss, or especially customers, looking over my shoulder, while I do my job....

I remember 1 time especially at work for a Ford dealer in Cali. I was doing a laundry list of repairs to a gentlemans truck in my corner stall. This guy casually walks up and stands around watching, getting in my way. Customers are ONLY allowed in the shop when the boss brings them over. Anyway, this guy is not leaving, after I told him he needed to go to the waiting room and he is starting to get on my nerves. Finally, I drop my tools on my tool cart, and walked away to the coffee maker up front . He looks at me probably thinking "Where the hells he going?"

Well, I told my shop manager to get the guy outta my way, and up into the waiting room, before I go back to work on his truck!

Yes, from my 45+ years as a truck n auto mechanic, all valve stem cores are the same.

And they sell a little pocket like screwdriver for those cores. Wal Mart might even sell em, or those metal valve stem caps, also have the slot for core removal/tightening. And any auto parts store has em too

Hell, I think a bicycle tube core would work, never tried em, because we always had 1000's of stems and cores on hand at most of my jobs. Sometimes they do leak over time, or "someone" can loosen it to be a "richard".....It is kinda rare to have a leaky 1, but it can happen, the little rubber seal at the bottom of the core gets weak/leaks from age

"Serenity Now, Serenity Now!" lol As pointed out the time lost because of slower, dumber drivers is a fact of life, especially with the amount of vehicles out on ANY road in the US.

I always found it funny, especially driving my 4 wheelers. Ya always get some jerk who wants to, speed, weave 'n' bob in traffic, to get ahead of everyone else. Yet you DO end of catching up to them @ the light etc hahaha So all that idiotic driving didn't really get them further ahead than you! And when you end up either right next to em or behind em at the stop light, whatever lol soooo they got nothing!

WOW ! Just WOW ! I have wondered about her quite often, once she quit posting much. I too like OS talked to her many times, she'd call me or vice versus, many times. She was a very cool lady and funny, I figured she just got busy with LIFE doing other things. Last time we talked was days before I was flying out of the U.S.

A very sad day of news for sure, and I've missed our chats and will always miss those and never forget her spirit and what she did here helping out !! Rest in Peace dearest Annie, you will be missed definitely by many!

I drove for Legends for all of 4 months, before my retirement. I would still be there if not for my plans to retire early and leave the US lol.....I signed the same form I think back in Dec 2021....Orientation was only 3 days maybe because I had driven already elsewhere for 2 years prior.

I liked it there very much, I had a sort of "dedicated" run from Fontana/Rancho to Texas/ Oklahoma and made bank! I also loved how they paid all bonus's as well. Separately listed as "reimbursements" so NO taxes were taken for those. LIke at the time a $10,000 driver bonus over 2 years. Helped boost my checks when I got those , and I got the orientation pay was the very next days later.

After 1 month of driving there, I also got my $1,000 seated bonus addition.....

.....SAM

Well, you're Turkey Day has arrived !! Don't overeat lol eh gorge yourself if ya wanna.....Stay safe and healthy all the time....I do miss the turkey n fixin's but eh my 65th Bday is on the 1st, told my filipina to not go all out on anything, maybe just a cake, pork n fish Now I AM ancient hahaha. Remember as a kid thinking, that 45-50 was oldddd!

And to all a happy & safe holiday season, as this 2024 finally ends!

I've noticed lately, after eating me a nice big burger I go like 20+ hours before hunger returns.....Made me a 1/2 lb (guess) burger, with cheese n salsa on top like a steak, no bun/bread. 4:30 pm wasn't hungry again til after noon the next day ! Even though I've never been a breakfast eater anyway, I just eat when I'm hungry at no set time of day or night.

We also seem to buy lots of fresh fish too lo,l my Filipina likes her dried fish blehhh..... @ least the seafood is very cheap here too, compared to the U.S. lol

Yep, get legal council, seems after 2 years , NOW, they wanna get paid, by 1 or both ends.....Surprises me they didn't go after a case soon after the incident.

Wow I heard eggs were pricey in the US lol not here ! We pay $4.82 per a 30 Large egg flat, Beef be it ground or thin steaks etc is $8.50-9.50 per kilo = 2.2 lbs.....Just bought 4 more piglets last month, for our little "piggery" at her parents place. Pork here since it's a staple meat is cheap as well, around $1.50 a pound.

And our chickens are free, and roam free, until "feed time" might have 6 left running around, and Hen's usually have 8-12 chicks each. Lots of em running around and the roosters hahaha Country living
