This time she got some prescription patches. I'm hoping for flights where I don't walk out of the plane with barf all over my clothes.

Secrets for a happy marriage:

Don't buy clothes from the same shops as your partner..
Don't share a bedroom (especially if one snores)..
Don't sit next to your partner on an aircraft.. Leave the pleasure of the dreaded barf for other travellers..
And, never share cars, as your partner will never understand why a BRZeeee has to be Blue or that it's Japanese etc, etc...

Happy New Year Geezer!!

I had planned on prime rib dinner tonight, but none of us are hungry enough. I'll do it tomorrow. We had dinner at my middle son's house last night. He made the biggest tomahawk steaks I've ever seen; smoked them on his Traeger. Way over beefed last night. Maybe just a can of vegetable soup tonight.

OMG!! So many innuendos in that there photo... Must resist... Must resist...

Nico Nico rice up here. Might be a Uajimiya bulk sort of thing.

Set up Super Tux Kart on my Linux system for the relatives yesterday.
Now I've played more time on Tux than on Mario. Ever. And that was just yesterday.
Can get Minecraft if you have a M$ account or Steam anything if you buy it.

I didn't. Saw there's also a flight sim Cessna. That's a maybe if time.

PM me with an 86 site that isn't broken please. I'm not into masochism.

I look silly in women's clothing,
Have a hard time sleeping without my wife next to me,
Have no choice in airplane seat,
And my wife loves driving the twin. I think she put more miles on it in the last year than I did.

And I'm only 60, but feel older with my congenital health issues. Like my doctor says, unfortunately you can't pick your DNA.

Happy New year to you too!

I always say that you can't pick your relatives, work colleagues and now DNA will be added to this exhaustive list...

BTW, my wife loves been driven in the BRZeeee... She hates our DD.. I think that I may be looking at swapping it for a full blown electric DD next year.. I'm liking the sound of an Alpine A290...

My favorite Alfred E. Neumann quote "You can't pick the family you are born into, but you can pick the family your children are born into".

Randomly thinking in my head. Which cars are 4 banger, (fairly) lightweight, stock parts aren’t crazy expensive & doesn’t cost arm & leg to buy? Literally only ones I thought of were the twins, Miata & Civic.

MR2? Depends on which gen you get, they’re not cheap. Especially 2nd gen turbo still cost arm. 240SX? Those went through more owner than prostitutes & god knows wtf is done to it. Friend said I4 turbo Mustang. Honestly don’t know too much… but I’m assuming it weight over 3,400lbs.

Any other cars I missed?

240sx’s are so overpriced now due to drift tax. I spent some time doing the same thing and ended up with another BRZ. I could find Miata’s for a decent price but they were old and high millage. MR2’s are a pain to work on. E30’s too pricey, same with an S2k. 350/370z’s are driven by lame scene queen’s.
