Imagine sitting on I-10 in Houston in August during afternoon rush hour with a turbo four between your legs. You also have to maintain your balance at pace between waddle with your feet and idle in first gear, constantly fiddling with the clutch to keep from accidentally parking in the back of the van in front of you.…

The problem with radar equipment is that it cannot identify exactly which car is speeding - that comes down to the judgement of the officer. In most cases, it is absolutely clear. Sometimes it is not.

Here ya go. Complete with fully-gimbaled camera which moves as you move your head.

As a member of the industry, I am familiar with the data. Viewing it is relatively easy. Doing something useful with it is more difficult.

“You have to know how to download and use the files with GIS, but that shouldn’t be too hard to figure out.”

Old-school R/C is much more difficult. No on-board electronic stability, must have line-of-sight (no POV), and a high risk of crashing kept the barrier to entry fairly high. The best way to enter the hobby was to find a club or a mentor who would teach you not only how to fly, but where to fly and why.

“First of all, stop cussing cause you’re not good at it.”

“...Cinderella was tasked to kill her Prince to get her mermaid tail back...”

We have a ‘13 in XLT trim. The SYNC system stinks. The engine is fine and it tows without any weirdness. The seats are fairly comfortable and very adjustable. Heated leather is fantastic.

Yes, you can. The fat guy photobombing is not me. I’m the fat guy holding the camera. I made it 1,200 miles in two days without a problem.

Don’t forget to get your kids involved!

Not everyone passes through life silently.

I got hit by it in my first truck. I was cruising in fifth when the car in front of me slowed to make a left. I had plenty of room, so let off the gas and downshifted to slow down. I missed 4th and got 2nd instead. The clutch spun up and exploded.

It looks like you are missing the point. Prescribed fires are set in a manner which prevents them from becoming big fires. Typically, they are set when conditions are damp. The burns are started at a downwind firebreak, forcing the fire to move upwind, keeping the fire to a low, slow burn. The idea is to remove the…

I would contend that the popularity of scooters around the world has less to do with efficiency and more to do with economic constraints.

Permeable paving surfaces have been around forever. Here’s a handy reference from 1978.

I would like to thank the wasps that attacked the web worms in our pecan tree this year. I watched them do it and their efficiency was impressive. Although I didn’t appreciate the mass exodus of the worms and their subsequent arrival on my back porch, I did find it much easier to stomp them out of existence once they…

One of these is a ringer, the other, a wringer. One should know the difference.

Yep, I’ve called him out a couple of times for his lack of reporting and all I got in response was the greys.

After years of living with an open floor plan, my wife and I have learned to hate it. It’s impossible to keep the noise to a reasonable level when someone is trying to cook in the kitchen and someone else is trying to watch TV. The end result? Those not cooking retreat to their respective bedrooms to get some peace…
