Don’t ever sign up for a gym where you give them your bank account number. Can’t believe I was that stupid. When I went to cancel after the two year period expired (stupid act # 2) I could not serve anyone with the cancellation. They refused it saying I had to send it to Salt Lake City. I spent months trying to…

Packrafts are pretty impressive. They can handle class V whitewater or float around a pond. They pack down to nothing and can be carried into remote areas. Quite popular in Alaska. They start at around $900 and go on up from there. www.alpackaraft.com

Gravestones also lose the clarity of inscriptions over time. My family’s plot has a granite stone dating to the mid 1850s. Several years ago when I added my mother’s name to the stone I had a stone company refresh the names of relatives. It was not cheap, but they’re probably good for another 100 years or so.

I bought a Wrangler with a lift kit installed by the dealer. It was a cheap lift and the shocks they put on it were cheaper. I intended to replace it immediately, but apathy and a pandemic intervened. The ball joints took a beating and now need to be replaced at 36K miles along with some other steering components. New…

Perfect underbucket in drug dealer parlance. 

If he/she doesn’t have $2500 in their checking account maybe they shouldn’t have bought a fancy leather-lined SUV that gets atrocious gas mileage even when the battery works. Or that villa in Casa Grande (avg. price in that hood is $5.75-700K if Zillow is to be believed). Or that garage full of toys that preclude…

I see them all the time out here in Antivaxxistan for $1000 less and ten years or more newer. Nobody actually likes these things. It’s the worst of both worlds. 

I wouldn’t bet against the Texas Supreme Court doing some legal contortions to come up with a stand someone else’s ground defense. 

I guess it’s to be expected. He spent his career spreading lies and now there’s nothing but an eternity of lies on his headstone. 

If you kidnap someone and lock them up without an iPad and take all their money you get twenty to life. But if a judge approves it first you’re good to go. (There’s a whole Netflix series about these conservatorships that is well worth watching).

I’ll take vanilla men for $1000 Mike.

Bellefontaine Cemetery, St. Louis. Gravesite located just north of intersection of Ravine and Meadow (on Ravine on west side of the road).

Didn’t even need to read. Straight to ND. Never done that in over six years of NPND (and its predecessor). 

And so do Subarus with their legions of cultists. Easy to say when my 74K mile Impreza is in the shop again for the second time in a month. Can’t wait to unload this POS and get a Toyota. My neighbor’s Crosstrek ate an engine and transmission in under 100K miles. SMDH. 

State v. Strickland, 609 SW 2d 392 (1980) https://law.justia.com/cases/missouri/supreme-court/1980/61528-0.html

If that was available here I’d think about getting back on the road with the texting cagers. Might be worth dying for.

I got rid of my grass years ago and replaced it with a xeriscape. Little did I know raking leaves out of rocks is 20x harder than just mowing the leaves up into your mower while you get the grass. And because there’s no more lawn sprinklers you have to sink injection wells to keep the trees alive. Yep... it’s just how…

Just the thought of going back to work in the legal profession makes me want to go back to drinking.* Sadly, I’m really not good at anything else at this point. 

The last two houses I bought both have had trees that would keep me from buying a house again if they were present. My current house has a Honey Locust. Developers love these things because they grow quickly and are cheap. Complete mess to deal with in the fall. And in the spring they drop catkins all over the place.…

Boxy McBoxface it is! Alt I’d go with P2V. Prime, 2 (for the alleged two day delivery that never happens) V for vanquishing any workers’ rights left in this country.
