    I was thinking more along the lines of intentionally adding things to the water that the peasants would be reluctant to take.

    Well in KC we ended up hitting a pothole while getting on I-435 and concentrating on traffic. Had the 2017 Grand Sport and ended up with a bent front wheel and back wheel is now leaking from a crack. :doh: I guess it is a known problem and GM just said F-word to owners. So now trying to find some replacements that only cost an arm and a leg, instead of both arms and legs. While still in KC I tried JB Weld while still on the car, but no luck. Thinking of trying something like flex seal. Just looking for a temporary hold until we can find something else.

    Crappy fancy cars.:headbang:

    Not yet but you never know. I have had both of those cars for better than 20 years now maybe even longer.

    Had to go to home depot tonight. 1x8x6 maple plank. 90 bucks. I couldn't put a tool to that, I'd just have to hang it up as an ornament :eek:
    3/4 inch 4x8 maple plywood is only 14 bucks more. :loco: :crazy:

    Today is our 53ed wedding anniversary. We have been home bodies since this virus thing, but today was special. So we went to a Seafood restaurant in Brunswick. We went during the mid afternoon when the place was near empty. We had a wonderful seafood dinner. Was on the pricey side, but felt we earned it. Topped it off with a nice cheese cake with strawberries. (we shared one serving, so big!) Wife drove. When we got home, I laid down for nap, but that ended up being 4 hrs.
    Rain moving in.

    Got a message from my cable company last night - they've increased my download speed from 300 mbps to 400 mbps. I'll find out later today if it is noticeable for work stuff - although it's usually pretty good and I'm unsure if the few things that take a (relatively) long time is a download issue or a system issue from the work side. It won't have any affect in my personal usage.
