Human thighbones are stronger than concrete. A woman's heart beats faster than a man's. There are about one trillion bacteria o...

At long last, after 3 weeks my tug will be finished tomorrow. I will be picking it up Saturday morning. It's been a very long 3 weeks full of dramas. It will be good to have it back. Must get the Avan camper out of moth balls ASAP and find a place that isn't flooded and close by.

Hmmmmm......a company in WA has started selling registration reminder stickers, also available to other states following WA's lead in abolishing stickers, not a bad idea but it looks like you are supposed to buy one for each year, although you could just keep the one on the car, at least it would serv...

Hi everybody, I just wanted to alert you all to the fact that I have now created an “I digress …” forum page (the one that was going to be called fireside chat).
