LSD, Lake Shore Drive... Is not bad. There are no trucks. Got commercial plates or "B-Plates" on pick-up, you risk getting a ticket. UNLESS you are making a delivery, no conmercial on the LSD. You probably heard that there is debate about having another continent. Zealandia. It's mostly under water with New Zealand being the only exposed part of continent: 8th Continent: Zealandia

Yeah... But they ain't nude. Oh... And please don't tell @Gugny. When he gets a bee in his bonnet, we all get stung! The sewing machine was interesting. I'd always bump my head. Why that song I remember playing. Same age as in 1972... About 4 years old that summer.

Under my mother's sewing machine: And to get it out of the way... First recollection of TV. But... It was in B&W on a 19" Admiral TV: What else do you want to know? First dog?

Another fresh one hot off the: @Cripple Creek & @CountryCletus Cam That's a hell of a beagle bay to accompany CC's piano & Cletus' key-tar!

This just in! @Cripple Creek out fishing w/ @BringBackFergy watching! This still pic fresh off the "Bear Cam"... "Hotter" than a @Gugny smoker rolling down the street!

Think her mom's gonna find out she's using her new lipstick? Just put the cap back on, mom won't notice!

No I don't! I think it's funny. Again, I missed it by a year, thank God... Yet, it (nude swimming) was a fact of life for earlier generation. I still think it builds confidence... Or, LoL, turns them gay (J/K)! Not that there is anything wrong with that!

Where does nekkid swimming fit into all of this? Asking for a friend.

It's not that bad. South Side tolerable. Sign of times. Generational.

+1 Since when do cops actually know the law as written. I'd actually like to read the law for HOV (Nevada's version)... Which I haven't. I wonder if it's the usual BS what the cops are saying about a "seat." Anyway... The concept of HOV getting priority is beyond me. Bizzare. You would think they would want to keep the low mpg per person vehicles moving first and not stopped in traffic. Roads are funded around 20-25 mpg. People getting better fuel milage per person are actually creating a shortfall in infrastructure funding. They need to keep those vehicles stopped in traffic so they can burn more fuel, ie: more tax money to fix the roads. The way they are going now, no wonder roads & bridges turn to crap in a never ending cycle. They are rewarding people for creating crappy roads. Also... You'd think they'd want to keep a dead body rolling in the heat. Not idling on ice. Yet, common sense and logic never really equate to the Big Brother State Law Enforcement Establishment hell bent on monitoring their HOV cameras while trying to grab revenue that coincidentally will never see the infrastructure kitty... That $$$$ money will be sucked into the law enforcement abyss.

Someone missed ~12 posts up. We've seen both versions. The powerwashed version and the painted version. @Gugny would give it a whirl w/the painted version. That takes some serious stones knowing what is underneath all that make-up! I take back all those snarky things I said about Gug bellyaching about losing .4 mpg whilst using his car's air conditioning. The Dude really knows how to live on the edge!

There was the famous year without a summer, 1816. Then there is the city without a summer: San Francisco and Cleveland. ?

The coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco.

Yeah... I just generically call it freon. My home unit is still R-12. Don't listen to the BS when they try and sell you a whole new unit, you can still get it reasonably. Even compatible replacement types (my compressor is a genuine Scroll). The units they made in past were built like tanks. Only way I see mine going is catastrophic failure, like the side of the compressor rotting through! LoL...

It's because you're a lush and Genny Screamers are higher alcohol content (krausening). LoL... And it's cheap. Why I bring them back for the one Cubs fan here... He laps it up! Cheap buzz without having to break the bank on fancy dancy brew... Do they still sell the "pounders"... More bang for buck and chase the DTs away! LoL... ?

I would have built a cage around it. In da hood... Gotta have that. Even when I first moved in, the builder didn't have it installed till we moved in. Oh... And report him to the EPA for releasing the freon. Unless, he recovered it?

Germans, Germany scorned AC as being extravagant... But now those bastages are crying... Good, they deserve it! https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/germany-scorned-air-conditioningthen-it-got-really-hot-11561918952

One car overlapped the other. LoL...

I am gonna jinx it. But my R-12 Rheem central AC has been kicking for 23 years. Lots of love, contactors, etc... But only recharged once, in 2011... Because of the hippy freon phase out. It's a closed system, shouldn't need to be recharged.

Never had one in BFLo growing up. Left 30 years. Heck, first three cars didntr have AC. But gotta have it now. Can you even get a car without AC?

Nice war paint! Poor kid!

When the bosses aren't here... The hi-viz gets lost. We work 70-75% of all available hours with out middle managers. Dumb, hair brained idea. No way I am wearing hi-viz in Chicago! Like the natives fighting the Red Coats. Safety Office can be really dumb. They don't live in the real world! They push pencils all day! Now... Some guys choose to not break the protocol. I am not being a walking target practice!

Anybody post: Double Live Gonzo! Full Album set! ^^^^^^

If I had a $1,000,000 I'd buy you a nice reliant automobile!
