Stop in for a cup of coffee

So, here's a pretty cool Cafe in the outskirts of Saigon. The seating areas are little Wells around where all the koi fish are. They give you food so you can feed the fish and enjoy. Never seen anything like this before.

Thanks for posting this.
Strangely, according to that article, the first one listed of the only ones still approved to operate is the camera that burned my azz.... Lucky me.
I didn't realize Iowa was so infested with these BS revenue generators...I'm used to them in the Chicago area and much of the reason I go the other direction away from that abyss....

Though all I know is that it's somewhere on 380 before the exit i got off at....
And toolman... This was the day before you picked up that freon from the ad listed other place on this forum.
I got off 380 by the fleet/farm.... (Is there more than one in that town?) I went and got my parts a couple of miles west just off of (I think the name of the road was ) something like Blair's ferry, I got my stuff and went back to that gas station with the red sign... Quik trip I think it was and then made my way to US 30 West to Gilman.... Must be the only station in town with a working, free air compressor pump as i waited in that line for a while, it was 3-4 deep for the whole 1/2 hour or so I was there.,.... Like many my low air warning was covering my dash since it was so cold out that day.

Deep breath Brother

The system isn't targeting you as a person. Location is irrelevant... The system doesn't care.
 
There is 2 places on 380 going through Cedar Rapids where people drive 75 and 80. That's why rhe speed cameras. We have red light cameras that also monitor speed. Lots of red lights ran but also speed in the 60 and 70 mile range in a 35 mph zone. 10 over is the limit before you get a ticket.
 
Time to turn in. (that's a strange phrase)
The term "turn in" likely originated from the nautical practice of sailors "turning in" to their hammocks at the end of the day.
* Limited Space: On ships, space was very limited, and sailors' hammocks were often stacked in tiers. To get into their hammocks, they had to literally "turn in" or maneuver themselves into the confined space.
* Metaphorical Extension: Over time, this physical act of "turning in" to a confined space came to be used metaphorically to describe going to bed or retiring for the night, even when not sleeping in a hammock.
This nautical origin explains why "turn in" specifically refers to going to bed, rather than simply going to sle
ep.
 
Man I am beat went all over the place yesterday driving the wife. Hell almost a tank of gas. Speaking of gas saw $2.99 here the first time in years. Getto no name station though. 3.15 average I would say for 87.

We called it hitting the rack on Carriers. Bottom one of the stack of three had to be triced up so could be cleaned under, all your stuff in the coffin and a stand up locker. Usually everyone found some storage in their work space as well. Good Morning All! Oh and Happy 10th Anniversary, thanks @toolmanmike for starting this thread!

Dropping here too, not that low but relative I guess. What I've noticed lately is (seems like) used to be 10 cents between grades 87, 89 and 91 here usually. Now there's a huge jump between 87 and 89, just to lure folks in with their price I guess cause low octane is sometimes all I see on the big sign
 
Always took the top rack. Funny you mentioned Hammocks always had a pocket one on the ship for when it got heavy seas (amphib flat bottom rear keel) and also used to tie it up in the back of the C-130's for the over the pond trips. Great sleeping there!

Amphib's do rock and roll more, esp. when they lose power, ask me how I know

Been runnung premium in the r/t makes a huge difference in the milage from 12 to 18 so worth it actually. Just filled her trailblazer with 93 see if it does the same.

My 89 TBI runs better on 89 than 87, even has a marking on the tank neck for 89. Wifes Stinger runs ok on 89. We had a Mazda 3 a few years back, that car mfgr. actually gave you HP ratings for the different octanes, quite a bit with that one
 
So you joined that club also. Did a hurricane on mine 30-40 foot swells and one broadside rouge wave like 5 second warning. Fun Fun Fun!
Was on USS Peleliu (LHA5) and lost propulsion in open seas, not particularly rough seas either. Ship started rolling and kept progressing, the CO was having the CHENG's As% for dinner. Max roll in degrees before capsizing was reached or exceeded and we somehow didn't flip it, engineering got it figured out just in time.

I remember her. I was on a small one LPD USS Shreveport LPD-12. We were usually out with the Nassau
