Anything goes. Dodge SRT models display and collect a lot of data so I tend to watch it in my Durango.

Growing up I don’t think my parents or family were very superstitious so I never paid much attention to that sort of stuff. Things like a black cat crossing your path is bad luck, or 13 is an unlucky number, etc. My wife on the other hand seems to pay more attention to stuff like when there is...

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Any fun plans with the families? I’m cooking steaks this afternoon.

I need some inspiration on a water barrel setup. Anyone use one to catch water from the gutters? How much should I expect to pay for a couple plastic 55 gallon drums?

Anyone have a rain barrel setup they want to show off or recommend? How much should I expect to pay for some plastic 55 gallon drums? Or how about one or two of those big poly cube ones with the metal cage? I want to catch water from my gutters and have a couple locations to do it.

We had a big storm come through a couple weeks ago and a local dealer hot hit bad - was orange sized hail that totaled out almost everything on their lot. Apparently they are now having a hail sale - seems like a good way to get transportation as long as you don’t mind driving a golf ball.

I am planning on hiding some Easter eggs around the house before the kids wake up on Sunday and will try to spend time assembling their new playground set during the weekend. Not sure what will be on the menu yet but I had better figure that out soon. Anyone else doing anything fun? Any...

I just bought a place in the Peoria area but wasn’t able to visit it in person yet. It’s got a pretty good sized lawn and when I was doing the (virtual) walkthrough I mentioned to my realtor that I have a nice Toro push mower that I’ll be using for lawn duties. He recommended a riding mower. I...

Been in Tashkent, Uzbekistan for a few weeks now, will be here for another month or two. There’s a lot to see so I have taken a lot of photos to share here. Lots of random things that catch my eye and a few of the interesting experiences. Will build on this thread until I leave the country...

I figured I have been here long enough now and snapped enough random shots that it could justify a thread. Place is quite interesting, I don’t have a lot to compare it to but the overall diversity of people from all over Europe is unlike any place I have been before. That being said, here’s a...

I look forward to this event’s results every year although I think the writing for it was better in the early times of the event. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a38955362/lightning-lap-2022/ The Porsches really put up a good fight this year with their Panamera Turbo S and the Cayenne...

I have an apartment building and one of the tenants asked if an EV charger can be installed and even offered to help pay for it. I thought this might be a good idea and help the image of the business so I want to get it done I found a company called ChargePoint that has a turnkey solution but...

Kicking off again this annual tradition at TCG - we're a little later than usual getting started but still plenty of time for all to participate and continue to bring our TCG community together during the holiday season. I personally look forward to participating this event each year; I know I...

I have been watching Christmas movies. Some are debatable whether they are truly Christmas movies but if they take place during Christmas that counts too. So far have watched: Die Hard Home Alone The Long Kiss Goodnight A Christmas Carol (1984) A Christmas Story What’s on your list?

Will post a lot of random Russia photos here. Some with some commentary, some without. Emphasis is on random My luggage when I arrived. St Isaac’s cathedral. Will probably post several more of this place from time to time. Incredible architectural achievement given the time it was built...

Since moving to Russia I have been missing the availability of pre-made broth/stock. It simply doesn’t exist in the stores here and instead people either use bullion cubes or make their own broth. Bullion cubes are convenient but I find their taste to be a bit like chemicals. After learning...

This guy seems like he would be fun to have a beer with.

I need to get new tires for my Range Rover Sport. Normally this would be pretty simple but it has factory 22” wheels which dramatically limits the available choices. I’m not thrilled with the wheel size but it’s what it came with and I would rather not get a second set of wheels. The majority...

I went on another rally over the weekend. Operated by the same group as last time but this one had quite a different dynamic. Not sure how many of you follow them but Damon and Dave from Daily Driven Exotics joined as well as Steve from Steve’s POV. Steve has an incredible amount of...
