    Heads up on tire shops selling "new" tires that were made in 2016

    Like an idiot I didn't look at the DOT dates of the new Dunlop Direzza DZ102s the shop was putting on. Turns out the were from the 48th week of 2016 according to the DTO info on the side of the tire. I raised hell with them after checking when home and they had also used the wrong wheel clamp...

    Not going to register my vehicles on line any more

    EDIT: turns out I'm just a dummy and google "California DMV renewal" and "assumed" the first site that popped up was CA DMV when it was not. Don't be a dummy like me! :laughing As it seems California DMV has a new "partner" doing that for them on their site. My 1994 MX5 I just registered on...

    Just FYI, NBC networks carrying MotoGP this season

    Race number one yesterday was rather epic. No spoilers from me but if you can find it, watch it. Might be able to find On Demand, not sure, but set your DVRs for the future.

    Well deserved indictment of Higher Education in the US today

    While I did indeed have student loans to cover my MBA in the late 70s for 5 years after I graduated IIRC it was not "burdensome." The cost escalation discussed here, and the whole "new model" is an abomination. Thankfully my daughter went to SRJC and then SSU...

    If you have an old sports car and want it "transformed" in the suspension department, I have input.

    If you have an old sports car and want it "transformed" in the suspension department, I have input. Bought my 1994 Mazda R Model new in 1994 and it now has 187,000 miles on it. Recently "lost' the moto itch, (down to one bike), and rekindled my love for the Miata but the "sports" suspension on...

    Anyone noticing panic buying of meat after Tyson ran a full page ad sure to lead to panic buying?

    Thankfully I just signed up with a monthly meat subscription with nearby Sonoma Meat Company that buys locally grown high quality meat. We used to get all of our meat at Costco, but for the time being I want to avoid all the lining up involved there and support a local business and local...

    Sweden took a relatively unique approach to Covid and I feared the worst...

    but, fingers crossed, it appears my fears were "somewhat" unwarranted. Mind you they did have 3 times the number of deaths per million compared to Denmark next door that took the cautious approach. 189 or so deaths per million vs 64 per million in Denmark, 160 per million in the US thus far...

    A very powerful Covid 19 message and its impact on the poor

    I lived in Miami for 9 years and know the areas he describes. Get past the fact that he's a basketball player and read the words. Amazing and powerful stuff. My friend sent it to me. He has a home in Miami, where they are taking it seriously, and another in Orlando where they are treating it...

    Movie you saw recently that you liked.

    Saw "Ford vs Ferrari" finally last week and it was very good, albeit the in car shots of physically driving were underwhelming, but overall great and I didn't even notice the 2.5 hour length until I walked outside and it was dark! The cars were great but there wasn't enough Ferrari exhaust...

    Views on the Homeless problem

    Up here they are buying a couple of homes to house 20 or so of the 3000 homeless in Sonoma County and just set up a camp with Pallet Homes for 60 on County property near Oakmont on Route 12 near St Francis Winery. Hopefully some of the "solutions" being tried have a real effect...
