[quote]548 miles per day[/quote]
Give or take, yeap. A better average would have been 150k to 200k a year. Not hard when you criss cross the country back and forth. Drive 20 hrs for a 12 hr job, sometimes a couple days, just to drive back across for another. Did it for almost 10 years. ...

Its not that I have to, I chose to. Why have another note when this one goes A to B and back just fine? That’s all it is. Back and forth to work. A pos Altima with a bunch of miles that runs and drives just fine. I have other vehicles for oth...

I once averaged around 200k miles a year. I was trading vehicles every couple years for almost 10 years because of mileage. Fortunately I have zero accidents (other than these events, if you call that an accident) and zero tickets. Zero claims on the same insurance now for 25 years. I hope I nev...

My car has a killing problem
Posted by Yournamegoeshere on 5/15/24 at 8:02 am
I’ve had an Altima for years to drive back and forth to work. Yesterday, I originally thought I hit a deer. I wasn’t far from the house and it didn’t get the radiator this time, so I turned around and limbed it back home. I stopped on my way home yesterday and discovered it was a big hog.

Posted by Yournamegoeshere on 5/13/24 at 8:40 pm
I just let my section 406 row 34’s go this year after 3 years. You can see the scoreboard just fine. You are out of the sun and rain. Poor man suites. Only complaint I have is how tight it is in there. Made it miserable trying to get out to run to the bathroom or whatever if it was a packed game...
re: Neighbor mowing the lawn at 9:30 on Saturday night
Posted by Yournamegoeshere on 5/12/24 at 7:44 am
I usually do it when I come off graveyard for the last night and going back to days. So from around 7am until. I try to stay up all day so I can sleep that night. It usually take me 4-5 hrs, but I’ll mow an acre, drink a beer, mow another. I’ve done it later in the evening, but not 9:30 at night...

Reminds me of time I was 17 and got pulled over. I’d been drinking and was legally drunk. I knew the officer and he told me to call my momma. I said no, I’ll call anyone else but her, but he said nope, gotta call her. I was sitting on the tailgate and all of a sudden got caught with a right hook...

I’ve gotten every pair since the 36’s when they first come out. Never wear them. I just like collecting. I’m the same with hats and shirts.
That being said, if anyone has a hookup on the baseball team hat, let me know. They are extremely hard to find. I want another one…...

Ah. So the hours weren’t the culprit. I admit I didn’t read the article. And I confess my job now is ALOT more relaxed now, but yes, I worked no less than 12 hours a day for weeks at a time for over 10 years. Lots of physical labor. Now my j...

re: Oil change prices
Posted by Yournamegoeshere on 5/9/24 at 7:13 am
And I’ve got a news flash for ya’ll. That “cheap” oil, like Supertech from Walmart, is just as good as Mobil 1 for a lot less. The key is, just keep it change like it’s suppose to be. This ain’t 1970 anymore. Oils are lot better now....
