The Volvo doing what it does best, pick up second hand furniture. A recliner and a desk easily slot in.

At a Trenton Thunder game where it is both Cop night and Thirsty Thursday. Because the only thing more exciting than minor league baseball is negligent discharges.

Subarus are really popular in New Jersey and they have two built in hoagie holders. Coincidence?

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

This dude continues to get played by absolutely everyone on an individual level, yet he managed to play the entire country twice. Somethings I will never understand.

Sure the per kWh cost of electricity consumed is astronomical, but there is still something pretty cool about powering an outbuilding with a near infinite supply of low load electricity using a small battery/inverter and a 100 watt solar panel. Still cheaper than an electrician.

This is why I hate modern car(truck) design. A kid got hit by a car in town and is apparently okay, the word on Facebook is the driver did everything right they just couldn’t see him. Kids should really be more careful!!! Fuck everything about that.

Clearing out the classroom and found what we used to call a “sexy rat kit”. I’ve have now been on Fedi long enough to know this was no accident. 😂

It was an “entrants are the judges” show — here’s what I voted for in no particular order.

I know the answer, but if local PD is not going to protect you from this shit then why are we paying them???

Ran into my old neighbor walking home, and he was suddenly way more interested in the Saab and Volvo than he used to be. Turns out he sold his 67 Camero and Scout and is into air cooled 911s now. Welcome to Euro world Mike! (It’s good to be a landlord)

I had to park them together in a show at least once. Only could convince my wife to take the Saab since it’s a short walk home.

My trying to determine if the new neighbors moving across the street are fascist. They immediately, hang up a weird American flag. (Suspect) It turns out it’s New Jersey’s battle flag from the civil war. Insufficient Evidence at this juncture.

I had a nice chat with someone who lives a block over about cars, then he asked if he could hang out in the garage one day, lend me a hand and learn how to wrench. Man he’s going to be so disappointed in my skills if that ever happens.

Vacuuming out a years worth of laser cutter poop. I’m going to miss the laser cutter next year.

Well now we know if you provide the local PD with enough cushy overtime gigs, you can politely say no to an ICE raid.

This is going to sound snarky but I would appreciate earnest replies. If Israel has achieved complete air superiority over Iran with the weapons we supplied them why exactly would we need to get involved any further. If they can bomb at will, they just need us to bomb even more?

Going through my parts pile I had some lower control arm bushings for the Saab and thought “this will be a quick 40 minute job”. It was not. Replaced the original shocks while I was at it. Everything is grimy but not in terrible shape.

I’ve never been able to stop thinking about the time the owner of a pizzeria 12 minutes away the next town over told me what pizzeria they order from in town. One of the most New Jersey thing I’ve ever heard.
