    NFR Passing Cars Correctly with Space

    Drivers are different in different areas. Left lane camping is not all that common in the Bay Area, while it is the rule between Portland and Eugene. And in any part of Colorado your guess is as good as mine what the drivers are up to. It's a free for all.

    NFR Passing Cars Correctly with Space

    Yes, I'm pretty sure what slows everything down is all the personality. One guy says "no you don't" and won't let someone merge smoothly. Another decides to take two lanes and stop those %$#&! from moving past all of us that are "doing it right". Now if everyone in the lane that ends up...

    NFR Passing Cars Correctly with Space

    That one I have some experience with. Water flows more efficiently through bigger pipe. Period. The more big pipe you have the less friction. The more small pipe, the more friction. Changing lanes early is like cutting off a section of the bigger pipe and replacing it with smaller pipe...

    NFR Well water

    We went to a church that had a recurring problem with that. We shocked and shocked, till eventually we put in a UV treatment system that took care of it. Because it was a church it had different requirements for testing, so maybe not relevant. I don't think the treatment system was that...

    NFR Passing Cars Correctly with Space

    Actually this is incorrect. It doesn't work here because people think like this, but if all the cars move to the point where the lane ends, and the people in the through lane allow them to zipper in an orderly way, the road can carry more cars and there is less delay for EVERYONE. It won't...

    NFR Passing Cars Correctly with Space

    I've noticed when on the Interstate that the truck drivers have a competition going on to see who can complete the longest distance pass in the history of the internal combustion engine. Passing at the breakneck speed of .00013 mph faster than the truck next to them, Maybe the Guiness people...

    NFR Passing Cars Correctly with Space

    Those rules are great and I try to follow them, but... if you are impatient with the douchebag that's ruining your day, it's still no excuse to drive in an unsafe manner, as in passing and pulling into the lane ahead of said slowpoke without a reasonable amount of clearance. A few minutes here...

    NFR Passing Cars Correctly with Space

    I like to give the car in front of me some room so that I can be safer, and it allows other drivers more freedom to change lanes as they need to. There are other folks on the road that believe that hole needs to be filled. It gets frustrating. I hear you about the debris too. My wife is on...

    Fishing with a dog?

    If anyone could figure out how to generate electricity from a labs tail, all we would have to do to solve our energy problems is keep them happy. I sent my lab to doggy daycare for the first year, and when I got off work if I didn't pay attention to him he just went to sleep. Money well spent.

    Fishing with a dog?

    Well yeah, I thought he was kinda smart, too. But even so, I have stories. It went sideways plenty.

    Fishing with a dog?

    I fished for years with a Springer Spaniel that absolutely loved the water. It was never a question... he went with me everywhere. He absolutely knew what I was talking about when I said stay out of the water. You get that from spending the time, and from kindness. We fished in a canoe, and...

    Why don't we all find someone who needs a hand, and help them, next time we are out and about? Nice is contagious.

    NFR Les Schwab is 💩 Now

    The bigger the gas molecule, the better it insulates thermally, which is the opposite of what you want for your tires. Heat kills tires which is why getting them siped makes them last longer. It helps dissipate heat. If the tires are properly installed, with new valve stems, they really...

    NFR Les Schwab is 💩 Now

    Les died, soon after his wife Dot died, without time enough to set up the transition. Their children did a piss poor job of continuing what Les had established... which was always high priced, but the service was so good you could talk yourself into thinking it was worth it. The kids have sold...

    SFR Yeti skillet

    I have several lodge pans, and if you cook on them and use a stainless spatula, in a couple years they are as smooth as any other. No need to sand, just use it. The Finex stuff is interesting to me and I would pay the extra being made here, if I needed one. Everything Yeti is suspect, as last...
