    Wheeeeeee

    That center of gravity scares 😨 me... Think I'd prefer to sit in the water in our old Tahiti jet drive, with that big block screaming, spraying water everywhere.... Or, the Checkmate making the Tahiti look like a 🐢 poking along. . .
  2. Why not be a Solar Farmer ??? Solar Fields pay $650 or more per acre. PER month... Seems worth it to cover every square inch of the farm with solar panels as a new cash crop.
  3. I advocate for all energy sources, however Nuclear + Coal plants burn, melt, and can explode.... Nothing is immune from failure... Wind, Solar, Nuclear, Water Power, Gas, Oil. Coal, all have their costs and short falls... Till we welcome cold + dark world, we have to create power.
  4. Yes, . . . A Diesel Electric hybrid! Just put the Miller Bobcat welder in the back + get 50 amps constantly.... Instant charge station with out waiting or looking for a station Creative American ingenuity . . .
  5. Creative people can "fudge" their way around the Ms. signature ... Lots of surrounding states to accommodate dodging a paper tiger.
  6. China promoted and offered snip jobs at a social fair years back... Don't recall the perks, but it was promoted as socially responsible.
  7. . Yes it's a creative idea, and may keep New Orleans a little dryer .... But how do you 🤔 1.) Clean THE muddy Mississippi River water? 2.) Supply electricity for the pumping system? ?? How many NEW Nuclear powered electrical power plants would be necessary to power the pumps? ?? Is it remotely possible to power it Off the grid with Solar + Wind power? Could the California customers afford such an expensive operation 🤔 ? How would it operate if / when the Mississippi River is in a drought? This has happened with in the last 20 years. Maybe draining the Rio Grande would be more effective? Either way, I'm game to work on a new pipeline..... when does it start ?
  8. Brain dead day . . . Gotta change initials to XLS+ for an upgrade + price change... gotta love a 5 million price increase . . . Balance is fun.... just watch a 400 + pound person bounce from the front, to the back seat in a Lear35A
  9. There certainly arriving in style. . Is that a new Textron / Arctic Cat owned. Cessna CitationX? Definitely, nicer than Cats old fleet
  10. Bentley Continental GT... wild ride. More fun than most EV's + longer range.
  11. This Conservative Republican openly supports ZERO Restrictions on anyone's medical practices !!! Keep out of our medical decisions, procedures, drugs etc. . . Zero restrictions on any drugs, experimental drugs, or anything in the free world. Stop dictating policy of what were allowed access to . . .The rich + famous jet around the world, bypassing our laws, searching for treatments. . . The Feds + the FDA, aren't our friends for cutting edge treatments. Keep everything between Doctor + Patient.
  12. Politically, it's the stupidest outcome possible. Roe v. Should have been reinforced. Most likely, any politician with 1/2 a brain will get behind Federal Legislation to legalize abortion, and leave the issue to the patient and Doctor to resolve any procedures.
  13. YES, brought to you by the DISNEY Channel, prosecuted by Mickey Mouse and the Mickey Mouse Club as the jury. Presented as an animated cartoon for the whole family's viewing entertainment. Only normal people like you, me and Martha Stewart are held accountable for using hear say evidence in our business dealings. "Special" people are exempt from standards for everyday people Probably settle the allegations for parking their Rolls Royce in a parking space reserved for EV's... $ 25 dollar fine, suspended for prior community service.
  14. The early 80's had some exciting cars if you looked.... We had a new 1983 BMW 320i, when I was starting out..... that little car was faster than a Corvette on the highway. European manufacturers built hi quality and fast cars.... pricey, but you get what you pay for. Times haven't changed.... Audi's etron GT RS is wild... Battery technology and manufacturing is the weak link. Perfect that and you have a winner
  15. Just . . Laissez Faire And close ALL the social spending, starting with "free" public schools.
  16. Spend an hour at your local Audi dealer looking and driving a etron GT RS... the Technology in the product is cutting edge. Range is around 200 miles, and top speed exceeds 150mph.
  17. This has been discussed in LA, there just isn't enough available or affordable space for massive charging stations.... There will have to be charging stations in most parking lots to meet demand. Charging stations in work parking lots are convenient + a deciding factor if an EV is right option. First hand an acquaintances brother opted out of an EV, as all the stations were taken at his Silicon Valley corporate headquarters. . .
  18. After last year's shortages + outages, it's questionable if the grid could supply 🤔 a huge influx of EV's.
  19. More crude oil on the market should begin softening oil prices... retailn priced should trickle down
  20. It probably won't be noticed in a hot market . . . Lots of new people, driving prices up. More expensive neighborhoods, bigger operating costs.
  21. Wood stoves burnt hot are clean... Tighten the air supply, add wet wood, trash.etc and you can see the dark smoke exiting the chimney and SMELL the stench as it lingers. The operator is the culprit, more so than an EPA approved stove.
  22. I'm running a Harman Accentra Fireplace Insert . . . Not in love with it... noisy, needs too much tlc. PIA to clean it weekly to keep it operating efficiently... Pellet inserts. Fireplace inserts were mid 3k upwards of 4k. . . Probably more with current conditions. Really like new Viessmann condensation boiler... 98% efficient..just wish I could get LNG Have to love expensive oil... maybe I can sell dead timber . . .
  23. Before Covid, Democratic selectman shut down town hall on Friday's claiming they will SAVE money. They FORGOT to mention most of the staff were salaried + paid anyway.
  24. Hard to believe Amazon would sell this book. . . .
