I used to check the tires, the Oil, clean the windshield. and check the fan belts. I got 7% on all TBA.

Teen years were good ones. Pumping gas was ok. worked the lube bay too. did tires, shocks, brakes and hoses..etc

Today the lazy bums just it in the cubbyhole and you pay FIRST, pump your own gas, and do your own windshield

We have made such progress. They don't even make a decent ball point pen anymore. Instead they skip, print too light, and dry up after an hour of use. Made in China. We have been suckered, big time

The world SUCKS

i am content to sit in my car at Oil Can Henry's that got bought out by Valvoline and i am sure i would be good with Jiffy Lube too and eat my breakfast sammy and coffee over $5 now

oil change costs like $75 bucks but i'm in and out (mwett will say He's in and out) in under a half hour

i guess my question is, how long does a serpentine belt last

i drive a stick and at 120K miles had to replace the clutch (here mwett, I ride that f*cker hard) but i am sure i am due for brakes and maybe wheel bearings too. the great thing about riding the clutch is i save on brakes.

gonna be in the $500-$1000 range i imagine. the great thing about Les Schwab is there is one in every town and they honor their warranty. so if you're out and about you got recourse

durn. no Irish whiskey for me this year. which according to bottomlee is in the $80 range

in my town baking potatos are going for 85 cents a pound

can you believe it? almost a dollar a pound for a dim dumb cellar dwellin tuber

and stew meat $7 a pound (thanks for your sacrifice mister cow)

i might need to work at a 7-11 for a year just to build up a war chest for candy and nuts

For the better "normal" bottles.

$40 still gets a great pour. Just not as good as 80.

Course, you can always get into the hundreds....

re the chart

you will notice inflation ramped up starting about Apr 2021, about a year after covid deaths waxed

you will notice inflation started dropping about Jun 2022, about a year after covid deaths waned

so a supply chain crunch due to shut downs

what i don know is what woulda happened had not trump jumpstarted the jab and biden backed it full fledge

I think that dep on yur average rpm. If the belt breaks, will your engine be wrecked? I would hope for an auto kill with the sparkey

I tend to just poke along and no desire to chirp the timrs in a shift change.. so check the belt every5-6000 miles etc

In Vancouver, there was once a nightclub/disco on Thurlow St. called Oil Can Harry's. It was a cash cow, too

Fun times, they was

A dozen Eggs in Canada $3.15 US.. and you can double that for the bigger ones. Tank of Gas in 2015 $65, today $120 Can Gallon 160 oz and our dollar is worth 73 cents US. Same gas for you about$90

Do you even know what a lube bay is? it is a place where you actually applied grease to the nipples.


BTW if the WEF has it's way, we will be eating bugs in 2030.Remember you heard it here first
