@woodtickgreg ...... Greg , nice looking retirement gift you got there !!!!

 

It's a fun little bike. I'm about to break out it's big sister, the mistress and go to church.

 

Good Morning

Yesterday's weather wasn't favorable to take the Camaro out of the garage . And today's weather is not looking great either with actual rain in the forecast as the Camaro is not a wet weather car !!!


So yesterday I decided to change light bulbs inside and outside my house . I changed all the light bulbs inside the house to much brighter Daylight bulbs . So much brighter inside now and I like it !!!!!

I then decided to change outside entry way lights in the front patio to daylight bulbs with photo cell on / off feature that go on at dusk and off at dawn and also had the ability to turn them on / off from inside

This is what I found out last night once it got dark outside !!!! . Being a photocell activated light and the two lights located 10ft from ea other they turned on and off every 5 minutes !!!

 

We made it to/from DL's yesterday. Car, fresh out the body shop looks great in the sunlight, drove great. I let the SIL drive it to the gas station and back. I'll have to change the seat setting back, reset the radio. Constant road work everywhere. Several detours... how did I ever make this trip?... It doesn't look the same. They call this progress. I call it burning through the free money gravy train.

 

Good Morning

Have a Neurology Doctor's visit this morning at the Nashville VA Med center at 0930hrs ​

 

Morning kids nice retirement gift @woodtickgreg

 

Good morning all.

 

Morning all:

Got this email this morning, looks like I get to keep the extra floor liners, the one good thing is that I don't need to go through any hassle of returning them. Maybe should keep them for a while just in case, and I will absolutely document this email

 

Yard sale!!!

 

Well so much for trying to get to my Doctor's appointment this morning . Got in my truck turned the key and heard the pleasant sound of a dead battery . Also strong storms rolling thru my area dumping alot of rain onto the roads into Nashville and turning a normal 45 min drive to well over 1.5 hrs or longer

I called the VA to reschedule my Doctor's appointment until October and my truck is hooked up to my battery tender plus to charge the battery

 

Congratulations! Nice toys

 

Well that’s always fun

 

Obviously you’re a traffic engineer and road construction engineer, god forbid we have better/safer roads

 

Well. Sheet. Hang tough.

Yesterday was good. Wife thanked me for a GOOD DAY OUT. Market doing good. Forest is loving this spring. Dog was 100% well behaved.

But this hernia feels like being nutted 24/7. I find out surgery date today. Lady surgeon said they want me in soon, maybe Friday!

 

Hopefully soon

 

Morning

Rainy for 2 weeks, followed by 97°, back to rainy

 

That’s a good thing right, just no heavy rain

 

Sometimes, the better/safer is doubtful. I've seen projects around here that make you scratch your head. One such example: The state stuck their nose into a local intersection rebuild project, turning a normal (very busy!) intersection into a 3 lane roundabout! Crashes immediately went up 6x what they were. 3 years later, they're still over double what they were as a normal stoplight intersection.

Another: They cut out a left turn at an intersection. Why? I'll never know. They proceeded to add 2 extra stoplights and now, you have to go past the original intersection, make a u-turn (on a green light) to go back and turn right.

I sure wish I could get some of what they're smoking! I would post locations on Google maps, but the pictures haven't been updated yet.

 

We have roundabouts here in Michigan, they do take some getting used to. I think the Romans invented them to alleviate traffic congestion. I feel roundabouts are part of a learning curve that most people are unwilling to accept. People HATE change , the only constant. When my father was born, 1920 ish there were 2 billion people on the planet. When I was born there were 4 billion people on the planet, late 50’s . Now we have roughly 8 billion people sharing the same amount of space. It’s a learning curve/process that really upsets people. Traffic circles work, it’s the people that have issues
All local roads have to meet state standards / federal standards
