I adjusted my wife's headlights this morning...

And the rear view camera, too?

Check the oil?
Change the fluids?
Check the brake pads?
....the list can go on.....

We can't find the mileage on the car.  So I had to get the book out and read how to put it back onto the dashboard.  It has 531 miles, and the oil button say's our oil is at 90%.  When it gets down to 0% it's time for an oil change, but were going to take it in every 6 months which will be in March.

Honda is a little different that way.  The car will give you a service notice with an alpha/numeric.  You call to schedule the service and say whatever that number is.....eg. A-3 or B1 service.  Not sure when the notice for oil change comes on, maybe 20%, but definitely not 0.  They prefer that you use that schedule for service rather than a six month or whatever schedule.  Of course if you want to do greater frequency, I'm sure they will not complain.

I believe your right about the maintenance notice (yellow wrench on dashboard lights up) at 20%.  I called the service department and they said the oil has to be changed at 7,500 miles or every 6 months.  So I can't see any problems with the oil, but I can see a problem with the exhaust system.  But the exhaust (I think), has a lifetime warrantee.

67 degrees here, very nice for an afternoon smoke on the patio.

G'Morning, Folks... Big Ben, Parliament.

I'll take Football and Disco for $200, Alex.

My wife needed some new shoes, so we stopped at the Shoe Carnival in Fairview Heights.  It was 3:00 in the afternoon, and they were playing Disco and Beach Boys music.  I asked my wife, "Who are they trying to target with this music...?"  The strange thing is, I almost bought my wife some go-go boots...

Gotta love a woman in boots.

Travellin DAve says "women gotta luv a man in boots"

Paired with the cutoffs it says "man gotta luv a man in boots".

Yee Haw!

Looks like Dave has been taking selfies at Oil Can Harry's

@NotGolfinDave....how far are you from Bedford OH?  Looks like I have to wander out there next month.

There's only one town between mine and Bedford. That'll be a nice short drive.

But most important question....how far to the nearest decent Lounge  (that is open after 6:00)

You want decent or open? Getting both could be an issue.... jk

A friend and I was driving through a bad part of North St. Louis years ago and we passed this really scary bar.  It was painted black, and had black bars over the windows and doors, and was in an industrial area.  My friend and I kept wondering what that bar was like but we were too scared to go there.  One night after work around 7pm, we dared each other to go there.  So we went, and we were both scared as hell.  The owner was this really big MEAN biker dude.  It turned out that the owner wanted to run a nice business, and if you caused any trouble in there, he'd take you out back and beat the shit out of you.  So everyone knew to behave in his place.  It turned out to be one of the safest places around due to this guys reputation.  Later he came up to us and said, "You guys want a pizza. I make the best pizza in town."  We said, "Sure..."  And it was a great pizza.

Never judge a book...

Sounds more like East St Louis to me

I don't ever go to E. St. Louis, or North St. Louis.  Hell, people that live in E. St. Louis don't want to go to E. St. Louis.  I assume that in order to get into a street gang you have to kill some one.  For years there have been reports of people stopping at a stop sign and some one running up and killing them.  Washington Park is bad too. A guy my wife knew from coming in to where she works, went down to Washington Park to pick up his girlfriend that was a dancer, got shot while driving though.  He pulled into the dance club and died in the parking lot.  I often wonder if they changed the getting into a street gang to shooting little girls...?  Because there was a big rash of that happening too.  It's really sad..!

You ever been in that old abandoned railroad tunnel down behind the St Louis Post Building before they removed it to extend Tucker Street?

Unless Dean won we are all Fuct but I think Dean said yesterday he hated the lottery and did not need anymore money.

3 winning tickets purchased in FL, TN and CA.

So get back to work

Lots of million dollar winners though, it's a shame I wasn't one of them.

I have not looked but maybe I am .  I do remember I had at least 1 ticket with the powerball on it.

i bought one ticket for me and my daughter wanted me to pick two up for her, I didn't get a single number on any of the three tickets, I think someone is trying to tell me just to save my money.

Been telling me that for years but to dumb to listen I guess, fun to dream and probably worth my $20 for the short relief from reality.

That hurts much worse than the guy yesterday who bought 600.00 worth of the damn things at once, I am sure there was many more out there like him.

My old college roommate that died a couple of years ago used to buy as many as $500 worth when it would get to big $.  He did not die a wealthy man.

we've got the pull tab machine on the wall down at the legion.  it takes in $4000 and pays out $3000.  I watch guys put $100 to $600 dollars in it chasing the $300 dollar winner.  there are $300 $250, $150 $215 dollar and $5 winners.  that means out of the 4000 tickets there are 3877 loser tickets.  I've seen guys win $200 on a $40 investment, and put all that back in and another $300 chasing the big winner.  I put my money in the jukebox, I always get 5 songs for a $2.00.  hello boys.

I've never been down there.  But I used to work at 801 N. 11th, which was right next to the Post Dispatch, and you could look down into it, and see building down there.  I believe Tucker (12th Street) is a viaduct (I think that's what they call it, viaduct?)

good morning guys. great day of golf yesterday.

yes, I do play the lottery weekly. scan my numbers monthly, so I don't know whether I won or not. highly unlikely and not really excited about checking.

packing for the weekend. heading to St Augustine beach tomorrow morning, should be back late Sunday.

Red Eye and coffee here.

there is you Florida winner!

[flip from jersey]

I was at a bar that had a pull tab machine.  All of a sudden, the bartender ran over to the machine, put a few dollars into and got a big winner.  Basically, they would watch the machine and all of the loosing tickets and could predict when it was going to pay off.  So most of all the winners was the bartender.

I have been all the way to the end of it and back riding with a cop and it was scary as a mother fooker!  Scariest place I have ever been and I have been to E St Louis.
