    Metal knocking noise in my Harley engine 🤬🤬🤬

    A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.

    Corporate absence of constraints in politics.
    Every holiday being an opportunity to have a "big sale".

    I don't know why, but it bugs me even more when it's a cigar-related business, i.e., Stars and Stripes Cigars, or whatever.

    Like we always say, if people are going to buy it, somebody's gonna make it and sell it. So maybe it's the dupes who think they're being patriotic with a 'special' cigar who should draw any ire.

    DMV offices! Bought a new car June 9. Tried to transfer vanity plates to new car at dealer. DMV had names wrong on registration ( missing Jr on mine, Kandice A on wifeys ), so couldn’t transfer. Gave us new plates so we could drive it. Made an appointment at DMV ( only available 2 weeks later.) An hour and half after our appointment time, they finally called us up. Took another half hour for them to understand that we wanted to transfer the old plates to new car, and cancel the new registration the dealer gave us. Tried to charge us 89 dollars plus the 20 dollar transfer fee. No, I just paid 255 dollars at the dealership for new plates. Finally a supervisor came over and okayed it for just the 20 dollar transfer fee. 3 hours, with an appointment! This is a long story! Get home, and there’s a notice from DMV to renew my license! Went online to renew, but wouldn’t let me online because of the “fire apperatus” endorsement! I have never even been in a fire truck, let alone drive one! But there it was on my drivers license! So I have to make another “appointment “ ! Crazy stuff!

    I hate how dumb my spellcheck is. It is more certain I'm trying to spell "throe" than "there" which was what I was going for, but my primitive methods resulted in skipping an e. Further evidence this spellcheck is dumb is when I looked up throe, (because I couldn't imagine throe in a sentence in my head without adding an s), I was vindicated because ALL usage examples I found were plural, ALL of them, EVERY online dictionary I consulted, so why the F***! didn't it ask me if I wanted to spell throes? I have never heard of a single throe.

    Come to think of it you are right, I haven't either.

    I hate how hard this forum is to navigate for new members. All the old threads show up as new, a trap for unintentional necroposts, and it's hard to find the common threads that people post in.

    It is more weird and clunky than ideal. But it seems the vast majority get it right almost immediately, even dummies like me.

    If it's set to newest posts first there is no problem. Unfortunately, I think you have to open a bunch before it knows what is new for you.

    When you are in a traffic jam most everyone behind you consider you to be part of the problem.

    When I let them merge they like it. Even if they don’t wave, I know they like it.

    I tried mine that day and it overcompensated each way. 2024 Titan gave too much gas followed by too much braking. It could have worked if it had a lighter touch. I have had some success with smaller SUV Nissan vehicles during rolling traffic jams.

    You'd rather he stomped it out on your rug? Did you have your cigar & pipe smoking only sign displayed? :D

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    Dropping my lighter on the concrete floor and it doesn't want to light now.

    I don't have problems, just more work to do.

    Garage, brother, garage. I just don't care for the smell of the smashed cigarette. Yes, I admit to my snobbery. 🧐

    Nope. I have a few extra lighters I’m good.
