She maybe scatterbrained because I told her to go pick up some steaks for lunch.

Anyone else irritated at the way that youtube videos now pop up the ads over the last 1-2 seconds of every video? Very annoying.

Cha-lee can do a whole stage in about 3 seconds, and when youtube pops up new videos over the last two seconds, I miss most of the stage!

As I have been spending WAY too much time on the interstates lately...
Some slow ass Swift driver doing 64 in a 75, trying to pass a slow ass England doing 63.5.
I wonder if my F-350 could P.I.T. a semi?

There is fuel costs for you... all the big fleets have tier trucks knocked down to 65 max but only if they get a certain mpg less then say 6.2 you get 63

I understand why, doesn't mean I like waiting 12 miles to get around them.

Thanks EPA. Diesels shouldn't be regulated.
When I was foreman at Navajo our Series 60 Detroits got around 10 mpg.

Swift. There's your problem.

Coupla things that have been bugging me lately.

People that spell ad with two d's when referring to advertising.

People that use the phrase "Screen Saver" when they mean "Desktop Wallpaper" (Screen savers are the moving graphics that come on after your computer sits for a while to prevent the desktop image from "burning in" to the monitor).

Got ya...
Do a screen capture of their desktop wallpaper with all their icons on it...
then toss all their icons into the recycle bin and put your screen grab of their 'desktop wallpaper' with icons on it and watch 'em go nuts clicking on them!
