Checking in from Spring Hill.  Can confirm on the traffic and housing prices in the area.  Totally not awesome.  

Found a picture of the warehouse.

Something similar happened right by where I live a few years back. Fuel truck driver struck the middle support for an overpass that had JUST been built (not sure it was even open yet) and the resulting explosion and fire did so much damage the overpass had to be rebuilt since the beams had taken so much heat it was…

Hey, while we’re talking wrenching failures, I had one over the weekend!

Here’s the article discussing the improvements to the concessions at the Nashville airport. Some new locations are opening this year, but the overall project is not slated to be complete until 2023.

I’m not an engineer, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night.

You are an idiot.  I hope your comment gets taken down.

Yeah, sometime just knowing the steps is enough to determine the ROI on my time vs a pro’s time.  If I can do it, but it takes 12 hours when a pro can do it and 2, I may just pay for that guy’s two hours of time.

I’ve always been a tinkerer. Recently, we moved into a new house with more garage space. So, I’ve been taking advantage and doing repairs that I would have previously outsourced because I didn’t have room, correct tools, or time. Now I have more of all three.

#2: This. So much. I have a cousin who works in HVAC for himself. Of course when my family needs HVAC work done, they call him. And pay him. Granted, we get a family discount of course. But, they still recognize he is spending his time and skills doing what he does for a living.

I’ve been running Blue Iris for a few years now. It is an amazing application and allows you to mix and match many different kinds of cameras.

It worked. Thank you.

It worked. Thank you.

I picked up a used 2015 Hyundai Genesis fully loaded 3.8 about 18 months ago. I love it as my daily driver. The only two issues with it are the stupid front blinkers burning out and the weird “flutter” that’s been attributed to the drive shaft at between 20 and 30 mph. It’s not really a problem, just an annoyance.  My…

Same here. A few years ago, I was offered a new position that paid very well bur required us to relocate. At the time, my wife had a very good job, too. It was a tough decision, but ultimately we decided it was worth a try so we moved, I took the job, she stayed home with the our less-than-one-year-old twins.

I’ll be in the market for a new vehicle in about three years. I really want a truck, but my daily commute is too long to justify having a truck as my DD.

I had to look up what he hell “Latinx” was....

Nashville, TN is getting a bigger following of Pickleball. It’s awesome! I played this obscure sport while in high school in Missouri. I’m glad to see it is becoming a “thing” in the city I now live.

2nd Gear:  I live in Spring Hill, TN.  Lots of UAW folks were headed to the UAW hall this morning to vote on the proposed package.  I’ve heard from several of them that they were not a fan of it, but I did not get any details as to why.  

No Jeeps?  David Tracy will not be taking up scuba diving.

I think it’s 3% of their healthcare costs.  Not 3% of their income.  Big difference.
