    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Daughter fell asleep in the car so I killed time by driving through a Honda lot tonight. Why can’t they just make a hybrid Pilot/Passport?

    Viking cruise

    I have learned from a couple of cruises there will always be a nicer and higher end boat.

    I think they finally remedied that by putting in a bridge that doesn't block most of the creek...

    Might take the kids for a ride tonight and see how Dry Creek and Indian Creek are doing. They have been quite full but never seem to flood like they seemed to do growing up.

    I asked a friend that is a professional ref here in the US about this Friday night. He said the guidance is to let it play out and then bring it back.

    I used to never listen to the radio but with the kids now more at a age to talk more and be constantly talking over top of my podcasts I gave up on listening with them in the car and back to the radio I went.

    I stumbled on that on the R2 forums this weekend as well. Pretty disappointing IMO.

    RTT...20-20 hindsight.

    Last time I did work on a ceiling fan I forgot to turn off the power. That was tingly.

    FIFA's Fleecing of US Cities for World Cup

    Yeah I saw an article in the recent days about a supposed discussion they had with leaders from LA and where FIFA reaps all the monetary benefit while LOS ANGELES gets the "prestige" of hosting.

    FWIW this will not meet the derecho criteria as it has not continued long enough.

    Tons of rain in CR. despite the warning we have had next to no wind. It just did not mix down as radar was seeing 80+ wind a few thousand feet up.

    I'm saying there is likely other factors such as placement, not emptying it etc. that are in play. They absolutely did not get a FOOT of rain.
