    U-Haul car trailer experience?

    I actually drove my Barracuda to the UHaul place to pick up the van and trailer. They helped me load the car on. So we could vet the straps and tricks to get the car on. Drove that combo from Jacksonville Fl to Lufkin Tx. No problem. My family has used them for at least a dozen moves since the...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    I found pulling the hinges back with a ratchet strap anchored to the rear wheel was an another avenue for solo micro adjustments of the pillar side bolts. Go slow! Little movements at a time. MoparLeo is a great resource. I found very little helpful YT vids. Good luck I took mine to town to...

    Kudos to Canadian Tire

    Anytime we were within an hour of the Sault we’d sneak over to do our shopping. Always included a Canadian Tire visit. Can’t believe that was 20 years ago… I used my handmade paddle from there just this morning! Big Fans

    Getting fed up of high-perf , being happy with less

    I will say that I appreciate the folks that try all the fancy stuff that circle back to make recommendations or painful rants! Once in awhile something comes along that helps keep my driver class car driving w/ less effort, time, expense, or frequency of failure.

    I’m back in heavy to tech before the bell. Let’s see if there’s any more upside with the bulls today. Also picked up some LYV,LLY, BLK, c, APLS, BSX, ENT, CAT, LMT & RTX. I couldn’t find 5N plus for sale on my platform…. It be there too!

    Stock Market

    I doubled down after it lost ~15% thinking I’d break even if it went up 8. Better yet it went back over my purchase spot by half a percent! I left AMD well on the plus side. This is fer fun remember. 22 shares all told. Folks give more away at casinos and lotto me thinks. Now what to play...

    NVDA Q1 results are due out on 5/22. I understand January ‘25 calls over $1000 were hot sells last month. their peers and vendors all reported strong results BUT shares were punished for forecasting some headwinds (China trade policy) META was punished for spending too much on AI. There may be...

    6 weeks to get AMD back to where I jumped in at. Dow did a layup to 40k and the tide pulled back out… watch for dips if your day folk like me! Happy Hunting

    "Something in the Orange"

    Funny, I was out getting firewood near Humptulips a couple weeks ago and a group of about 100 Porches passed by going north on 101. I've seen bikers and Vettes do it too and thought, 'why can't we?' Keep me (us all) posted on your progress!

    "Something in the Orange"

    I endeavored to finish the circumnavigation of the Olympic Peninsula today. It’s only 330 miles but it took me 13 years to complete. I just had the southwest bit to do really and it was a beautiful day. So my daughter and I went to the beach up at Kalaloch. I think car clubs do it in a weekend...

    Stock Market

    I think a lot of retail investors are looking for the exits. LLY reported well after hours but flatlined during trading, googl (A) did the same. If you were in you did well but you can’t expect a bull run after. Everyone in is profit taking and prices retreat. The analysts all say to not buy...
