I'm right with you there, Marty. It's the strangest thing, when people start to need glasses they first hold everything at arms length, try a couple other stupid strategies that fail, and then they admit they need glasses. When they start to need hearing aids they first turn the TV up to volume 99, yell at everyone to "speak up!", complain that "everyone mumbles nowadays", and then, finally,they repeat those same failed strategies over and over and over. "There's nothing wrong with MY hearing, YOU just need to speak properly.
What's up with that?

Agreed! I worked out of Fairbanks in 1969. We were building the roads for the oil drillers on the North Slope.
The girls I saw were either hookers or natives who had lost most of their teeth by their late teens. Those toothless smiles had good and bad connotations, depending on the guy viewing them. 🙄
That's what I do. Auto/truck Electrical, diagnostic and electronics are what I specialize in.
If you need some help, let me know.
There's a short in my dome light or battery saver circuit. Power windows are dependant on that circuit. Just gotta figure out running a wire from the battery directly to the window switch in the door. Only care about getting my windows back. Trucks just gotta last the summer.

GM truck?
Probably in the wire loom that goes to the door, at the hinge point.
Pretty common. Have you tried disconnecting the door lock switch and seen if the short goes away?
Door switches can fail shorted.
But do you have heated seats and do they work?
Not knowing what vehicle, just throwing some common short problems, that are often attributed to the dome light circuit.

Cutworms. Put out 20 tomato plants. Now I have 16.

I had the most painful intestinal episode of my life today. Apparently, gas buildup in the system is a very bad thing. I had eaten a massive bowl of chili the night before, which led to a parade of tooting all day, but not a single shart. Much later in the morning, I visited the porcelain goddess and left her all content, while I got back to normal business eating a bowl of Raisin Bran. Not even an hour afterward, the pain in my side and stomach/abdomen started creeping in, and within a couple minutes I was gasping for air and making ouchy faces much like you would do when you stub your toe on the dresser. I couldn't feel any pain when I self diagnosed, pressing all over my abdomen. My lower back was starting to ache now, and I felt a little bloated. Had to be gas, I determined. So, I went downstairs to the kitchen, wincing in pain the whole time, poured myself a nice, stiff drink of apple cider vinegar and pounded about 2 ounces, then followed with a few swigs of water.
After my gag reflexes went away and I could leave the comfort of the trash bin, I went upstairs and bent myself over the railing and moaned like a donkey. A few minutes later, the pain subsided and I could walk around a bit and get back to watching nonsense on YouTube. I was tempted to head to the hospital, but like I said, I didn't have pain from adding pressure to the area, and the vinegar did the trick besides.
Rule of thumb for me, no more beans at night equals no more pain.

@BKDog, That sounds like a very strong strange intestinal stomach bug I had a couple months ago, either that or food poisoning. Everything went through me for a couple days, crazy severe abdominal pain and bloating, gas etc. Wasn't pleasant at all! Watch it end up being a mutated strain of Covid-19, we'll never know.
If you quote me do the @TX98Z28 in your text or I won't be notified of your quote, Thanks.
So, someone loves cutworms? Or hates tomato plants?
Lol
Whatever, dude.

Springtime flies bugging me while I work on the Man Patio.
I need to dig out that old bug zapper.
Yoga pants. I'm going to have nightmares...
Have you tried wearing something else? Maybe something a bit more appropriate for you curmudgeons?? 😜
I hear jumpers are in style.

I hear kilts are making a comeback!
I think Peter is more like a footed onesie guy.

Come on guys. Yoga pants make everything look better. Next time you see that BBW wearing yoga pants, imagine her without them on. Boom, point proven!
Great googly moogly..... I just threw up a little in my mind.

There is a car repair or issues thread somewhere, but can’t remember the name.
spring cleaning

Gas-x after or Beano before is your friend.
I've been eating three prunes each morning since we've been sheltered in place which helps keep me regular.
