What did you do today?

[Tile Tom]

Never driven one of the Transit vans but I’ve heard other people say they hate them as well. I decided to fix my ‘05 instead of buy something new because of the price, and I thought I wouldn’t like it either. What exactly is it that don't you like about it?

Well, I’m 6’6” so it’s uncomfortable in the cab. I feel like a T Rex driving it. It has tiny pizza cutter tire/rim size. Can’t get A/T tires for it. It has ridiculous blind spots all around it. It’s very top heavy. Last but certainly not least, It’s a freaking magnet for destruction!!

Literally the only positive of it is the cargo space.

I want a Chevy express again.

Back when I was buying vans 80s and 90s, always bought a Ford. They were 12' 3" from the doghouse to the back door. Chevy vans were 11' 10" and Dodge was 11' 6" .Made a world of difference in bad weather when hauling carpet or vinyl.
And talking about room. My MIL left us a Nissan Versa and we have a Chrysler 300m. The Versa was the cheap economy car but has more room in it than the "luxury" Chrysler.

That’s different. Does bring some detail to an otherwise basic corner.

Definately not a job for beginners. A bit busy for my taste, but interesting.

Looks a lot nicer than using corner pieces to bring details to the corners. In a smaller house I think you could pull it off but I would get tired of all the cutting after multiple corners in a big house. Maybe you batch produce the returns and it wouldn’t be so bad. That’s still a lot of cutting though.

The newer Honda Odysseys look pretty cool. Spacious, blindspot cameras, seats that fold down, etc. Not sure how they would do for work trucks.

I fed kitties today, cooked for Mom, helped her give Fippy his flea pills (she puts them in cheese but he wasn't taking them-- I had to threaten to eat it myself to get him to eat it and I fed it to him). Gave Princess her heartworm meds. She already has heartworms so she can't get the shot like Fippy gets but vet said to give her heartguard chews to prevent younger heartworms from growing and making it worse for her. They are refusing to renew the rx for it unless I get her rabies shot. I'm wary of that bc it gave at least one of my cats rabies. Fippy is too old to continue getting the rabies shot.

Went to Depot the other day and found a hotdog waiting for me outside. It’s been years since I’ve seen a hotdog vendor at Depot, and not all of them have them.

I've never liked hot dogs all that much and grew to dislike them over time. The smell makes me nauseous for some reason.
The birds are singing this morning. Cats are surrounding me. A couple of them started slapping at each other and that pissed off Fippy so he lunged at them and broke them up. He then groused about it for a few minutes afterward-- just sitting there growling like an old man yelling at clouds.
Princess is racked out. Or she was. As I was typing Fippy got up and walked closer to her and it startled her awake so she's climbing on me wanting cuddles.

Old girlfriends daughter would get instant migraines from hot dogs, while I would get teased by Chops the neighbor every time I grilled…. “ hotdogs again ? Mike “ Yep ! Actually haven’t had any in years, since I moved and gave away the Martha Stuart grill

When I was heavy, I had two loaded hot dogs and potato chips for lunch every day. IMHO, there is nothing better, but for the last 3 years, I have only a salad for lunch. Not bad, but I still like to think of that great food occasionally.

You can get Chicago dogs here all day long. Forget about it if you’re looking for poutine. There’s a couple places that do try but you’ll be disappointed.
