What is odd is how my email got connected to him, though, considering I haven't had a Ford product registered at the family farm in 25 years.. before I got the particular email address...

Got an airbag recall notice email from Ford today for an '09 Ford Ranger. To my email address, but with my estranged brother's name and truck mentioned. That is weird....

...and more of this today....yay

No, but I am watching a French crime drama this evening..with Gerard Depardaieu, and he’s driving a ‘72 Chevy pickup.

Balthy's photo from ancient times, looks like a child boy with a strange hat and things in his ears...could be a girl I guess. Interesting...reality is complex, there are many things though that can be assumed, esp. for a largely English-reading audience. I'd assume most resource units reading these forums have some interest and knowledge in motor vehicles.

A boy and his dog..cute. A couple recent pics of me w/ a couple of my furs..was hard to get Henry still for a pic so he's blurry....Raine was quite still, though.

Interesting...not familiar w/ Maltron. I've tried a Dvorak keyboard years ago. Though 36 years after learning to type, I'm very comfortable w/ QUERTY. I kind of like the mechanical clicky QUERTYs, have tried some of them before. This looks pretty interesting, a typewriter style mechanical keyboard.. https://www.qwerkywriter.com

Crazy weather today... 37F and snow flurries...more like March than May...

Beautiful weather this afternoon, took a drive for about 40 min out through the national park on some winding roads in the Caddy. Saw a white C8 rumbling along, and a dark blue C7 convertible top down.. feels good to get out of the house even if going nowhere in particular...

I agree that it is is pretty pointless, but at least its just a Ford pickup, nothing special... Ford builds hundreds of thousands of these appliances every year.

The guy is a You Tuber...probably takes in enough ad revenue to cover the cost..it's a business expense, not like a normal person buying a vehicle to use..it's a prop for his videos.

Not like it's anything special or rare, though...just a common truck with shitty mods. Run a tank over it..

Always liked the XLR..haven't seen one in forever....still remember following a gorgeous black XLR-V on the PCH in Laguna Beach, CA maybe 5-6 years ago.

Ya, just renewed my Jeep reg yesterday...said ‘2014 Jeep WGN’. Which makes sense, wagon is the body style, SUV is the vehicle type.

Diver Down

Cinco de Mayo on Taco Tuesday. Tacos ordered, going to make Margaritas now...

Maybe if they restyle the Bolt to be more squared off w/ a Silverado-like nose it will do better. Or Camaro-like styling.

Yeah, this little Sony boombox has a CD player and cassette deck...got it new only a couple years ago, keep it outside during patio season when I want to play CDs (sounds better than streaming from my phone)...a bit old school, but I have hundreds of CDs...

I have a few of those cords with the asymmetric plug, have them with portable CD boomboxes (I have one of those for my patio), TVs, etc..

They dropped the Volt, but the Bolt is still on sale.

And NE Ohio..he was from Grand River. Neat little town on Lake Erie, there are a couple seafood restaurants I like there...

Watched a couple decent Icelandic crime dramas over the last few days-the 2nd season of "Trapped", not as good as the first season, and the 1st season of 'The Cliff'. Also watched the Acorn/BBC Scottish crime drama 'Deadwater Fell' with David Tennant, sort of in the flavor of 'Broadchurch' but not as good. Continuing to sporadically watch 'The Crown', an episode here and there. Last weekend binge watched the new 6th season of Amazon's 'Bosch'--still a great LA cop drama from writer Michael Connelly.

Beautiful place...took a tour 25 years ago, was up in Boston visiting my sister for her birthday, and we drove down to Newport for the day. I recall Newport being quite nice...had dinner at a great seafood restaurant called the Mooring, which is still there. Notice in the first pic the big Antonov AN225 w/ the three engines per side..one of those sat for quite a while at Denver International about 15 years ago.

The Buick probably didn't have snow tires..at first I thought the car on the far left was an Eldorado, but I think it's a '73 Grand Prix--can see the taillights under the snow. The car in front of it in the center of the pic looks like a '73 LeMans ..might be a '64-65 Cutlass 2dr in front of it (dark car)...then a Beetle further to the right, This looks like I-90/2 heading downtown from the east, along by the lakefront airport.. My Dad got through E. Ohio/Pittsburgh winters in the 70s in big Mercurys and Lincolns by putting snow tires on all 4 wheels and weighing down the trunk w/ a couple bags of Quickcrete mix.

I went looking for vintage Ohio winter pics, found these, some GMs incl. a big Buick in there..the 1950 pic has a Hudson. Looks like a mid 70s Grand Prix and a '73-ish LeMans in the bottom pic (Blizzard of 78 in Cleveland).
