Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

Glad you enjoy me day PJ.

 

[Thomas]

Thomas, how does that affect your alternatives?

Not sure...gotta do some real thinking.

 

[Thomas]

I’m concerned these younger operators won’t know what to do should a basic system fail.

Agree...and not just operating vehicle.

Air conditioning if down here.

I hope the last refurbishment included an A/C or it should never come to Southern United States.

Good morning, 66 going to 83 no rain

Working at a garage as a teen got exposed to driving a variety of vehicles at an early age including trucks and farm equipment as well as a range of cars and motorcycles. Farmers brought in old cars often that dated back to 20's and 30's as well as left over from World War II

RNG, looks like you are digging right in to improve the new place. Do you monitor the old place?

Stacked two loads of fire wood yesterday.

Looks like Gd and friends will be here Friday for her birthday so will get the Minix out and dig a fire pit for the campfire. Hard to believe she will be 15

Talk about VWs we could change the engine at the time in 20 mins.

PJ happy birthday

Geez, does that mean poor boy will have to know how to drive? Hopefully his parents will insist he know how.

::: clambers atop the soapbox:::


With all the “Operator Assistance” garbage on modern vehicles today, anyone under age 40 is not really learning how to drive. The are more aiming and hoping in many cases.

Another major factor IMO that affects younger drivers is that they they were imprisoned in the rear seats the last 30 years, with nothing to soil at in front of them except a high headrest or an electronic device. Kids were banned from the view out the windshield, seeing the bill vista of sights —- and also observing and learning how a vehicle is operating by observing the driver.

And what “Modern Parent” would ever DARE TO BE SO BOLD as to have their five-year-old sit on their lap and steer the car through town?

::: upends soap box to climb a bit higher:::

I am almost at the point where I think it would be a good idea to remove all the warning labels and let evolution take its course —- stupid should hurt.

Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

:::climbs down from soapbox and heads to the bar:::
