Ya know, I keep pounding on this subject because it pisses me off the absolute shit we are forced to buy anymore.

At this point it would be worth the money to start looking for any of these old appliances that are still around and not rusted out. There is aguy on Youtube who specializes in restoring these old refrigerators.

Compare what it would cost ONCE to having to keep buying the fucking garbage they keep coming out with every two or three years.

And some things haven’t changed.

Listen to the part about population control….

The Wifely Unit says they already have something like this that has bits and pieces of biscuits in gravy. Not the same I would argue.

This is just too fucking cute.

I don’t know about anyone else but after 13 years of marriage I am still wandering around in a constant state of WTF?

Gotta be a City Slicker to begin with.

I would wager a cup of coffee that no one else did either.

Aaaaand it’s looking like I got punked by AI again…

Getting real tired of that.

When we moved into this place 8 years ago, I went up to a used appliance/repair shop that has unfortunately since went away and bought a matching set of refurbished Maytag washer and dryer for $450, delivered and installed.. After a week we found out the dryer actually worked a little too well, you could smell hot clothes all the way around the house. One phone call, they sent a guy out and he used a hand held temp sensor and confirmed my suspicions that it was actually running way too hot.

An hour later the thermostat was replaced and we have not had one single issue with either one of them other than the plastic switch actuator on the dryer door that always breaks off.

No electronic anything on either one of them, just the old twist and pull knobs.

My Mom has been dead for at least two years now and she went through two sets of washers and driers in 6 years. Samsung expensive as fuck models.

Like $1600 just for a POS washer that didn’t last a full 2 years.

If either one of these units we have shits the bed for any reason, I will pay a premium to have someone fix them.

I absolutely refuse to have electronic appliances.

Why in the fuck would I want my toaster to be able to tell me what time it is in Tokyo or to be able to access my purchase history on Amazon?

I sure as shit don’t need my refrigerator being connected to the internet for any reason whatsoever either.

Keep It Simple Stupid is my operating principal for just about everything I have to deal with and will be until I take the Dirt Nap.

It’s why I drive thirty plus year old vehicles too.

Went and saw a doctor today to get evaluated. I have been cleared to go back to work Monday.

Dammit.

I was thoroughly enjoying not having to do that.

It is what it is. When I finally can’t turn wrenches for a living I’ll find something else to do.

I finally got off my dead ass and did some more work on the Sprite floorboard project today.

First I went and bought some spray on rust converter and then I cleaned all around where I cut the floor out with acetone before spraying it on all around the hole. Then I sprayed the patch piece with some Weldable Primer I ordered a couple of weeks ago.

After that I also sprayed it around the inside of the car where it is going to be welded on.

After all that, I slid the patch into place and had the Wifely Unit come out and press down on the patch piece because it’s a bit warped from the manufacturer while I slid underneath and traced the edge of the cut out so I could see where I needed to drill all the holes so I can spot weld it into place.

Then of course all the drilling etc.

Then I cut out around the rear spring perch bracket and got it final fitted and ready to weld in with one more final coat of primer on the patch.

I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow. Depending on the weather I might actually get this welded up before Friday.

We shall see.

There are a couple things I would add to this but overall he pretty much sums it up.

Check this shit out…

And he is just getting started.

Lemme tell ya, the newest vehicle I own is 32 years old now.

The other one is 61 fucking years old.

You can fuck straight off if you think you are going to force me to get rid of them.

This assclown is looking to get a bunch of cops shot for trying to enforce this bullshit.

Ain’t nobody up there got any extra money to be throwing at these imaginary problems.

Shit, they can barely afford to keep gas in their rigs from what I hear.

Try and pull that shit down here and I guarandamTEE ya there would be blood in the streets.

If you added up the value of all the customs, hot rods and vintage rigs We The People own I would be surprised if it was less than A BILLION dollars.

Yeah, go ahead and try and abolish that shit Jack.

I’m thinking Alberta is incoming rather soon at this rate.

I’m fine with that too.

But it sure as fuck is American.

As for the Morans over at Reddit, the little blurb about the drone says it all.

You Go Owen Brown!!

That is hardcore.

Good onya son.
