I feel your pain. Not only did I get a very unusual first name, it goes right along with my very unusual last name, and to top it off, an unusual nickname. Buck. As in Westerns, Country Singers, and Space Cadets. Rhymes with a particularly foul curse word. Makes it impossible to play the name game without getting into…

There’s a more compelling reason not to put your feet on the dash - brain damage from your knees hitting your face.

Yep. Sam Walton, founder of WalMart, drove a simple truck.

Typical internet commentariat. Jumps into the middle of a conversation then wonders why people get confused.

Now you’re just picking nits. May I remind you that you said “never”? Never say never.

I prefer Aliens.

“You’re never supposed to exceed the speed limit, even when passing...”

Lot of effort? Hah! A good tractor with a front-end loader is all you need. In a pinch you can rent one for a couple hundred bucks a day.

Addressing is a major issue and the problem isn’t easy to fix. Without the GPS coordinates of every driveway, the best way to determine an address location is through geocoding. This is based on several assumptions, the primarily that the ends of each block are known addresses, the addresses are sequential, and the…

A “grower” was busted in Oklahoma when he was spotted harvesting. The field had become so large that VFR pilots were using it as a visual waypoint since it stood out from the surrounding vegetation. He was caught when he was seen dragging several large plants out of the field.

Exactly which part of my statement (all of which was spoken in jest)? Why so serious? Enjoy the toy!

Mine was just the motorcycle, launcher, Evel, and the ramps. Loads of fun even without the van!

When the a/c went out on my truck, the only window I could open was the sliding rear glass. The regulator was out on the driver’s side and the passenger’s side would jump track if lowered. I had a small thermometer inside to watch the temps. The highest I saw was a bit over 120 degrees with the slider open and the fan…

Every kid from the ‘70s understands the principles of gyroscopic stability thanks to Evel Knievel.

I was talking with a coworker about this the other day. Her aunt and uncle sold their home and most of their possessions and bought an RV with the intention of living their retirement on the road. Now the thing is falling apart and they are having trouble living their dream. They learned hard lessons about the resale…

Pick the wrong weapon and it’s HARD to shoot one down.

“This is easier with older cars at least, as they tend to have access panels in the body or at the front of the tank.”

Just to be clear, the shorts do more than provide padding. They also prevent friction burns between your moving parts like the creases between your body and legs, and the inside of your thighs. Absolutely DO NOT wear underwear under your cycling shorts! Manufacturers go to great lengths to make the shorts with flat…

My dad fancied himself a mechanic, but his track record is somewhat suspect. He agreed to adjust the valves on a red ‘65 Mustang convertible. He recruited my uncle to lend a hand, so I have this story first-hand from him.
