in addition to my abstinence from alcohol, i'm going to try to abstain from blogs i don't agree with. this is more of a challenge but i look to certain members for guidance and inspiration. this doesn't mean i won't engage on my own blogs, but i think in the future, i will again look to certain members for their guidance and inspiration and delete the unsavory. you know who you are.

..after that blog about wanking and photos..our little pilot has gone awol.

Come on you old dog..I got this treatment years ago..man up and get back in here with your soft top mercedes and steel toe cap CAT boots.

Just coz you're a lousy wanker, take it on the chin and move on geezer.

Two steps forward. Three steps back.

Here is my latest annoyance. The recent snow melting has left some crater sized potholes. I found one last night. The pipes are 30 years old. Here is what the bump accomplished.



I see two fixes. Buy some new pipes for $20 each. OR take a steel soup can, slit it lengthwise. Squeeze it to fit and slide it into the pipe and the muffler then tack weld it in place. Either way, a distraction I don't need.

As we have kindly been reminded this is a freeeking Datong site, I must ponder

If your date met you for the first time, what to wear?

Men-in all seriousness what could a woman wear that essentially bonks your head and dumps all reason for lust?

Jay Leno breaks the Bugatti Chiron speed record of 9.4 seconds doing a 1/4 mile in 9.247 seconds with the Tesla Model S Plaid. His record was short lived as later in the day, a Tesla driver does 9.234 breaking Leno's record for the title of the fastest production car.

The Tin Drum with English Russian Spanish Italian Turkish subtitles is a 1979 film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Günter Grass. It was directed and co-written by Volker Schlöndorff.
The film won the Palme d’Or at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1980 at the 52nd Academy Awards.

Oskar is born in Germany in 1924 with an advanced intellect. Repulsed by the hypocrisy of adults and the irresponsibility of society, he refuses to grow older after his third birthday.

Like it or not, electric cars are here to stay. Every major manufacturer has at least one EV in their lineup. Do they sell? Yeah... kinda. Price incentives and options change all the time. More charging stations are being built and there is less fearmongering as there was a few years ago.
My memory says the same group of people who complained about 5G cellular technology are the ones who complained about electric vehicles. Battery fires, landfills of dead EV batteries and negative issues were regurgitated over and over.

I haven't personally witnessed an EV battery fire. I'm sure it's a spectacular explosion with zero time to escape. I have seen car fires of the gasoline version... That's a monthly event on highways. There was one in a residential community near me that scorched the tall trees along the roadway. It's been more than a year and the void in tree growth is still apparent.

I know a few people who are driving EV's and have no complaints about them.

A few weeks ago, I attended a swap meet for model aviation and one guy had a table with old lithium-polymer rechargeable batteries he was selling for a fraction of the price for new ones. As these batteries age, they become less efficient and gasses form inside the sealed jacket and they begin to swell, making it obvious the battery life has been shortened. I asked what he would do if they don't sell and he told me they would be dropped off at the recycling center.
Prior to this, we were told to drain the power to zero and leave the old batteries in a bucket of salt water as it will neutralize the volatile metals when exposed to air where they can be disposed of like normal garbage... probably in a landfill somewhere.
The guy told me advances have been made to reclaim the precious metals these batteries contain and the technology is improving all the time.

I did an internet search and found that EV batteries are being reprocessed and not ending up in landfills as originally feared.

Batteries that were originally mined and manufactured in China get recycled in America, the new batteries are now considered to be made in America. The plus side of that equation is we didn't have to strip mine land in America to make these products.

A Morganluv pushed us together
And I didn’t repel him
Myself, delighted, as I typed away
Far, far away, on beaches, in pubs

My loneliness crushed by laughter
Reading and posting, a brat pack
Not ashamed of appearing tens of thousands on his Who’s Viewed

A special Luv pushed us together and I did not repel
Rather, he lifted my wings so that I could fly again

I love you

i just thought of it. rather then build a wall, why don't the people complaining, switch places with the ones who want to cross our borders illegally? then the complainer can put their mouth to work on the country that is being fled and maybe work for a change making those people not want to leave? it costs the government no money if both pairs of shoes fit agreeably

I opened the window for the first time
And the furnace remained silent
The birds' songs masked by neighbors talking
Children laughing

A party in the park
Balloons smiling and food grilling
While there was running, sliding and swinging
Dare I join in and climb the jungle gym?

With spades and rakes, people groomed
The earth
When was the last time I was groomed
By nurturing hands?
