@HandyGingerGal 539K members! The moth people are a force to be reckoned with.

"Suggested for you". Way to call me out there, FB

Gen X trained for this…

@8studoldfart That's the worst. Speaking of driving at night, do you remember when you were 18-20 years old and had night vision like an owl? I miss that.

@arcticJim59 It’s wet here during the day now then freezes at night. Makes for some interesting travel in the dark.

@BogdanRadu71758 Speaking of precision, this is an interesting history of the Cox engine. I never knew... youtu.be/LxPs62MHfXA?si…

Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon. As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation. I’ve never seen something like this.

The Trump Crime Family.

This is such a bullshit take. Two destroyers zoomed in and right back out during a safe window while Vance was in Pakistan negotiating during a ceasefire.

@HandyGingerGal I drive by this one often. I always assumed it was a front for some organized crime enterprise.

A genuine cultural question that has baffled me for years... Why are Chinese businesses always named in this strange, disjointed way? "Super Snack Busy", or "Happy Lucky Nails", etc. I'm sure there is a cultural context that is getting "lost in translation" for me. Anybody know?

@DebiEvansMatron A comedian once said, "In America you can tell which are the crazy ones. In Britain they look like everyone else. It's only when they start finding bodies in the garden that they know something's amiss". Your doctor looks normal. Our Dr:

@HandyGingerGal When are you going to add a burro to your menagerie?

Good morning! This is what it's like to live with no walls!

@robertschoenbo1 In my neighborhood the sale price was $3.99/lb for 80/20 ground beef a year or two ago. Now it's $5.99 on sale. I picked up a couple pounds marked down at Kroger for$4.03 this past week.

@arcticJim59 @DowdEdward Not surprised. We use the frozen ground turkey or ground chicken chubs. $1.98/lb. vs $7/lb. for ground beef. When used in sloppy joes, spaghetti and chili there is absolutely no taste difference.

CPI came in at 3.3% for March we had 3.26%. Our scenario analysis below.

Recently, while repairing a garage jack, in order to get the grease gun coupler onto the grease fitting (zerk) I had to clamp a Vise Grip on it and tap it on with a hammer. Eff that. I upgraded the coupler with a 308730 Alemite coupler. The best.

@lookner The Stinger missiles were a game changer in the 80's during the Soviet-Afghan war. I would not be surprised at all to find out that's what brought down our aircraft recently. Why would Iran have every other type of missile but not MANPAD's?

CNN: "US intelligence indicates that China is preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Iran within the next few weeks...The systems Beijing is preparing to transfer are shoulder-fired anti-air missile systems known as MANPADs" cnn.com/2026/04/11/pol…
