That people in Tennessee can't spell?

Thats what i told them. But insisted. That's correct
What do I know

Son will be ball boy on Friday at the high school game. Son will have a football playoff game on Saturday, 10U. Daughter has a soccer game on Saturday, 10U (she's 8). Son has a baseball tournament on Sunday, 10U. Busy weekend.

Wife drives a 2004 Toyota Sequioa and it has 291,000 miles. We have not had an issue outside of changing spark plugs, alternator, and one ignition coil. Not bad at all! Trying to get to 300,000 and will get her another.

Toyota has it down. My '08 Camry had 405,000 miles and was running like a top when I got rid of it for the Tundra. Basic 5 speed. Two water pumps, one alternator, one radiator, one A/C compressor and a clutch finally at 370,000. I may have swapped out the front rotors, and of course pads and sets of plugs. That's about it over fourteen years. On the flip side, that 4 cyl was one of the engines that used oil from day one, and by the time Toyota got around to offering a warranty for excessive oil usage, I already had 252,000 miles on it. Toyota put new rings and pistons in it for me, for free, and it never used a drop its last 150,000 miles.

Thats .....a decent value.... and replacing the rings at that milage....the way all companies should work
Cars these-days are built for around 100K miles....

May try to sit in the stand Saturday morning with my crossbow. Then go see my new little granddaughter!! Our first!!View attachment 25882

Nothing like those GRANDbabies! Mrs. BamaMike and I have 3.

BTW, they will call you whatever they want and you will be thrilled the first time you hear it from them. I remember standing in church, after the service and grandson #1 came up and called me papa. Incredible experience.

Maybe we shouldn't overlook BYE. We've never lost to BYE, but we've also never beaten them. And right before LSU? This has classic trap game written all over it

Post coming soon.

Loved the Midget. I learned to drive in a blue one about like this. Totaled it in '79 coming down the side of a mountain east of Huntsville. Damn near killed me and I still have the scars.

...during that same time period (mid-70s) one of my Brothers-In-Law had a Triumph Spitfire MK2 - which also looked and drove a lot like the Midget...to me anyway. Not sure I could fit my big ass in either one at this point. Even if I could I'd look like 50 lbs of pork in a 40lb bag.

.....that particular toy looks like it'd be a blast to zip around town in....especially with all the autumn stuff going on right now.

We've had two Tahoes. I think they are 200,000 mile vehicles, but for us the last 40,000 ramped up costs.

Back to the Tundra, an oil change with the V-8 is 8 1/2 quarts. That adds up, even using Costco synthetic.

Montesano or Chapman or even further east?
