“Gus” McCrae, no doubt.

Welcome to August, everybody!

We were married 37 years ago, yesterday.

Marge spent the day having surgery on one of her hands. Whatta' way!

I get to be Chief Cook and Bottle-Washer for a couple of weeks.

Happy anni' Pop.

Best to Marge. Carpel Tunnel?

Carol battles that. Needs a shot, only about once a year so far. Probably looking at eventual surgery.

Congrats Marge and Pop! Heck of a way to celebrate, but I recon you’re not a greenhorn at grub ‘n dishes.

Have yet to see a movie RD was in I didn’t like (well, maybe not Days of thunder).

Marge put dinner together tonight, but I cut up her chop for her as it went on the plate, and dished everything else up.

Yup, she can't get her hand wet, so I get the sink all to myself. In the course of seventy-one years, I haven't been a stranger to that. Not at all!

Van is sure not happy with 95*+ temps lately and todays 104* in santa clarita/acton areas plus towing is not fun....i hear vans run hot but this is stupid..... im on my 2nd fan clutch and thats now working, time to put that new thermostat and housing on so i can install a real temp gauge (isspro ford look EV2 series) and then my last suspect is the radiator.

Looks hot Justin. As I recall, those gauges read normal up to a specific temp., then spike quickly with a small temp increase above their set point. 60 secs later you’re red.

this one is very linear, but for me the readout is stupid.....right up there with the dumb oem trans temp gauge in the superdutys.....

Funny stuff, Sean! I had to pass it to my siblings, one of which is currently in Minnesota!

Watch your toes and fingers...

Can you name the 10 downsides to this idea?

Yea, sure, I'm going to send my money to Istanbul, Turkey to buy one!

Yup. That's country code 90. +90 [212]2637040 was the phone number given at 2:47 and at the end.

How f'in paranoid do you have to be to even consider looking into that?

$3000 per bed on the construction side would avoid the collapse issue. Otherwise it's your coffin or urn if there is a fire.
