One year when I finish my gold Chevelle it will be my last project car. I have too many things to fix as it is and cash gets tight with a project. The Mercedes was given to me as a project car and it has not been one, sure I did a bunch to it but it can now be a DD (and sometimes is). I have about 1500 to 2K in it. As the Ex ages she is not a project but requires more attention. Maybe one day when I hit the lottery I will get an F-450.

Anyone know about this little sneaky trick they want to pull on US?

Debt collector rules could allow unlimited texts and emails to consumers.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/debt-collector-rules-proposed-by-consumer-bureau-may-soon-allow-unlimited-texting-and-emails-to-be-sent-to-consumers/

You could get them or your parents if they happen to owe something to someone and we all know that even if you don't owe. Once a debt collector gets you
name and number you play hell to get them to remove you from there list. This one is going way too far. The link above is the article and it has a public
comment link in it to use to make comments on this plan for the next 90 days.

She and her younger sister get a lot of those 15 minutes.

When she was 5-6 we took her out on a whale watching boat off Cape May. Along with the whales we had a Pod (corrected) of dolphins that stayed with the boat.

She ain’t been right since.

Tori was way too young at the time to remember that, but those two are SO competitive that Tori followed. We don’t talk about who is the faster swimmer. Tori beat Noelle's time, Noelle gets faster. Noelle on weekends goes around the country working with Fitter and Faster, so is with Olympic swimmers all the time. I was competitive in sports, those two are nuts competitive wise

Pod. A group of dolphins is called a pod, not school. School would be group of fish.

It's not like I ever showed pictures of their aunt (our daughter) when she was a pro cheerleader.

And Tori, the younger wants my diesel truck.

But I have pitty for the guys that date either of them. Like with their aunt, the guys just get run over. And, ya know, Dad's in the background.

Teaching my daughter to drive prior to driving the drivers ed car at her school. She is doing ok except she can't get the car between the parking place lines. While trying to park, the car (05 Vibe) made a terrible racket, the cooling fan came apart. I unplugged the fan and took off for home, the temp never rose. Amazon will have the part here on Tuesday. After working on the Ex's Turbo, the cooling fan is a piece of cake.

Unfortunately a Philly firefighter who was competing in the triathlon passed due to heart attack during the initial swim event yesterday.

We really need to better at screening for circulation issues, like getting a calcium scan.
