Might I respectfully request that a mod or admin split off this discussion from the main thread so it might be continued elsewhere?

Wait, hold on. Upon re-examining this post I decided that the above part should get a response. And that response is...

Stefan-A is a moderator, and he already did move the discussion to be continued "elsewhere" and that "elsewhere" was right here because it didn't belong in "the main thread" it started in.

Please, do realize that this is the place for off-topic discussion that doesn't belong in other, already established threads or categories.

If you prefer neat, well-categorized discussions, then may I suggest that you unsubscribe from this thread. This is the thread for random things that do not belong anywhere else. If you don't like what is discussed here, then you are free to not participate.

Now, just so I don't sound like an "A" hole even though many of you have already made your decision, you are of course free to change the subject or post about any random thing in this thread. Maybe, just maybe, the "masses" will find your post more engaging and respond. Whenever that happens here, I am always very willing to yield the thread to others who want to use it.

It is not at all rude or inappropriate to post just about anything here at any time, even if it seems like you're interrupting. That's the beauty of this thread and I invite you to take advantage of it anytime it suits you.

So, how about this weather? You guys are all complaining about the heat. I just saw a clip on my local news that showed asphalt (blacktop) roads melting and buckling in the heat. Where was it happening? Iowa!

Around the Portland, Oregon metro area, we're mostly cloudy, a few showers today, high of 64. Been this way most of the week. What heat? You guys are just wimps!

Some say there is a time and place for everything and there is NOT, in fact, neither a time nor a place for certain things. This is where it gets cloudy...

I just scored a 1997 Dodge Ram pickup with a king cab and 4 wheel drive with a new set of tires on it for $1000

She has a little bit of rust, but she runs great.

Very nice. 1997 is a good year at least for my Ford E-530 van. 343,000 miles and still running very well.

Excellent find! What are you going to use it for?

It was so hot yesterday that I almost passed out. My room is facing the sunset, though, and has no way of cooling. I just have a fan and damp cloths to do that. Luckily they work, and keep the humidity in my room at a good level, so I don't get nosebleeds at all.The frogs seem to enjoy it, too.

Gotta say I love Froggies!

Again...

[RedSidedSPR]

I like turtles

What do you think about these gas prices?

What day is it?

No mail came today. Sucks.

[Mommy2many]

Nice...

The wheel bearings in my Toyota took a dump, it needs struts too, so a friend loaned me his extra pickup, then he just offered it to me for a grand, so I said sure.

Now I can take my time and fix up my RAV 4 right.

The pickup is a gas hog, so I will use it for fetching lumber, picking up things (try fitting a large viv in a SUV, it does not work.), gathering firewood, hauling back and forth to camp, hauling stone and sand.. stuff like that.

It has 4w Low and 4w High and a cat2 hitch, my SUV has computerized traction control and a plastic rear bumper, so even though both vehicles have 4 wheel drive, the truck is heavy duty, the SUV is comfortable and safe.

so it all fits perfectly, Plus the truck is automatic, Dorothy cannot drive my Toyota, it has a manual transmission.
