    I can do that, but maybe there's a possibility of a TW express out there. Anyone?

    Just out of curiosity, why on earth would you drive to this shithole on your first day of retirement?

    I love Tubi. It's available on most any smart TV. They have a bunch of classic sci-fi and 80's B movies (cheap content) that I enjoy. Looks like they have most of the Tom Baker Dr Who episodes that I grew up on.

    Tubi is where I watched Battle Beyond the Stars - the film that people have said Zac Snyder's Rebel Moon is a clone of. It's very similar.

    Isn't Tubi the one that has a channel that plays Anger Management (Charlie Sheen) all day everyday?

    But... I need time to wire it up. Does that mean your coming up here????????

    So when one reads things... Okay. You have a place to stay if you need. We are running every which way but you are welcome. We could go get the trucks dirty!!! I know this place... Just a little tight and scratchy!

    Time to attach 2 wire nuts? Hmmm. 5 minutes? Less?

    That leaves plenty of time for slightly scratchy trails!

    I had to read that 3 times to understand the meaning.
    1) Rich has a place to stay
    2) You are very busy
    3) You could do a trail ride
    Sometimes the printed word reads different than the writer intended. I do the same. What I wrote looks OK to me, but the meaning is lost on the reader.

    I have the same problem.
    I'll forget a word, or I'll type the same word twice.

    I've watched Battle Beyond the Stars many times, but haven't heard of Rebel Moon. I'll have to look that up.


    I know the space battle scenes have been recycled in other movies.

    Edit: I looked up Rebel Moon and see that it is in fact a new movie but, yeah I see the common storyline. Looks pretty cool

    OBDII issues ended up being a blown fuse. It was a good reminder to buy more spares. The little pack I bought a while back didn't have 7.5A, go figure.


    ABS light is still on but I'm halfway there. Bit the bullet and replaced the harness to keep any new sensors from getting wet again. You can see how chewed up the side I initially tried to repair got. That's what I get for being rough on electrical components.

    @pearing if you look close enough you can see shithead's tail end. And my fancy pink laptop.

    You just need an adjustment... although when I read it, it really doesn't make much sense.

    I ordered 2 sodastream C02 tanks from Amazon. Realizing I checked the 'subscribe' option, I immediately canceled the order and made a new 'correct' order.
    I get my tanks and 3 days later I get 2 more tanks.
    Only 1 order shows. No subscription is setup and I was only charged 1 time.
    $64 value.
