One of my new favorite things to do when I get spam texts of people pretending they know me is to tell them they owe me bitcoin and send them a lightening address.

Hell Yeah Plunger! Do you also drive it nicely on top of the maintenance? I've had friends that go through cars far faster than I do and then I drive with them and they're flooring it after every stop and ramming the breaks when coming up to a stop sign but that's just theyre standard way of driving, like giving the vehicle high blood pressure.

You must live in a place where rust isn't eating the body and frame. In PA I see a lot of F150's but really especially rams with bodies looking like zombies with their flesh falling off.

I'm pretty much happy with everything about this vehicle except the ambient noise level in an older car like this is far louder than in newer vehicles. As my hearing continues to deteriorate it actually makes noises more irritating, and car conversations with my Wife require raised voices.

You ever come across Grape Ape. Trimmed at a farm one season where they grew it. Smoked it exclusively all trim season. Love it, never seen it since. I managed farms for 4 years after that trim season and no one ever grew it but all the growers talked about how great it was. I haven't smoked in years but I'd smoke Grape Ape

I've been building stuff off and on for various purposes for a little while now. My brother is in the "discovery phase" of tearing his bathroom down to the studs and joists and finding out how many structural members have been butchered and impaired by previous owners.

I recently joked with him. "if you want to make things stronger just do triangles, if you don't think it's strong enough do more triangles"

The picture is the framing members of the 20ftx8.5ftx13ft tiny cabin I pulled from California to PA. I didn't use any engineered plans or anything for this, I used triangles.

that's being glib I watched tons of videos of people building tiny houses, and hark! They all used triangles too.

also just for good measure more triangles in other applications.

LOL! very very relatable! From 14 to 20 yrs old my brother and I worked for two different wealthy retired guys with big properties. We did property maintenance and expansion more gardens more landscaping, more!! Our stay at home Mom did the same to our property, she made it her full time job.

My brother and I are both like....ah no, no I'm not doing that shit with my time.

As I drive around in this very solid but rough in appearance 18 yr old car I sometimes think. "I should get a new car".

I can certainly afford one. But just because I can doesn't mean I should. It works, it does whatiask it to. It has 238,580 miles on it and all I've ever done are oil,breaks,and tires.

I think it's societal pressures that make me feel I should get a "nicer" car.

So thinking of it that way makes me think of the Christopher Walken meme.
