I loved Spin and Marty. My girlfriends and I had a crush on Spin.
It’s terrible what the Disney organization has become. It’s a wonder that they haven’t made Mickey Mouse trans do he can race on the same team as Minnie Mouse. But then give them time.

I sold my little pocket rocket about 10 years ago.
Ahh. let me think: I believe it was the traction control button.
I kept the stability control on, I could not see any advantage to disabling it.
I wasn't aware ABS could be disabled, again, not that I ever would.

Question:

We know who the Communists are..
Who are the thieves?

Dobrien,

It's a great thing your bride likes fishing and the outdoor life. My kind of gal.

Compatibility like that is a rare trait.
That and the fact you two made it to (almost) a half century is, sadly, far less common a thing these days.

I can relate to you long relationship and love of the outdoors.
I met my lady in High School so long ago now, she hushes me when I bring it up.

Enjoy every moment, we have so limited time here on God's green earth.

God Bless the both of you.

The only decent driver was the rear door woofers.
While it only used a steel basket, It has a composite 6" cone and decent magnet size.
Everything else is paper and screams: cheapo.

Also, whatever aftermarket solution there us out there, that silly center speaker on the dash will get nulled out.

Never understood why they put it in there.
Kinda defeats the whole "stereo" thing.

Phone/navigation sound comes through the left/right dash speakers.

It's so much worse than that. At least in HS you had an idea who these people really were!

How should this work? It was based on the "Settlement" Selection process...
Every 100-500 families would elect their representative.

Then, they would send theirs up, and 100 would show up, and talk amongst themselves.
And select their BEST representative.

This would happen 4-5 times. But the BETTER people would be selected. Because these 100
got to KNOW the person was not committed to just helping their family out, or making profit going to office.

We got the best of the best.

Our approach... We get the Selection from the greediest, dirtiest people nobody actually knows.
And we have no idea what they truly believe, or why they want the position!

Same and agreed. My brothers and I watched the Mickey Mouse Club faithfully. We liked the mini shows like Spin and Marty doing stuff on the Triple R ranch. A few years ago when I had access to the Disney Channel I went to watch the Spin and Marty pilot episode and was greeted by a disclaimer warning the program I was about to watch was a legacy production and may not be up to today's standards of inclusivity blah-blah-blah. It was a groveling apology the program had so many white guys that were not evil, stupid, or gay and didn't have the correct mix of people of color. Of course the country was 80% white people when these were made, but modern Disney couldn't help taking a slap at the folks that made it rich and successful. That type of crap is what made me pull the plug on Disney in my life. Sigh.

I loved the Mickey Mouse Club as a kid, too. What good wholesome fun it was.

The Mayo Clinic really got a big chuckle out of me. My husband’s name was Mayo. He ran for a county position one time. His slogan was, “Don’t forget the Mayo.” He won.
A real bunch of good ones. Thanks!

Born during 1947, me now the old dino grew up watching The Micky Mouse Club on TV.
Tonight on my PC monitor, I never before laughed at it so hard.

Ok. Yesterday I scared a Jehovah Nitwit with a flag wrapped around a dollar bill.

Kirk, you have nailed it. The Libertarians have abandoned us to idiots on both extremes!

AHA - so THAT'S how the cockroach got in the bathroom!!!! Nice doughnut play there, OUC! Hey, they're all good, LOL! Thank you!

2 Ohm speakers? SMH. guess they thought it compensated for the 15 watt amp.

Happy for you, Brother, looks like a GREAT Time.

Well said Captain.
Was hoping for Grandchildren but looks like that is off the table. Just hope for the sake of my children that we can keep the Communists out of complete control until the current education and brainwashing can be overcome.....

I agree with you 100%, Captain. Down here in SC, we have a senate seat up for grabs. I didn't like Lindsay Graham. He died, his wife is worse but is running for his seat, but I'll be damned if I ever vote for a Democrat ever again, so Mrs Lindsay it is. Sigh. We had another candidate for that seat in the Primaries, He's a good man and an acquaintance, but Lindsay had run an ad hominem smear campaign and dredged up stuff Mark had done in college, 40 years ago, and shut him down. Grit your teeth and push the button, and at least be sure the socialists don't get your vote.

Sounds fishy, if you ask me ;^)

Call Paramount. I think we found a Tom Homan stand-in, lol.

That's awesome.
And there is a lesson for YOUNGER people.

When trying to bring someone into your hobby... Hiring someone else to show them how is a GENIUS move.
it removes the Judgement and Fights.

A friend went canoeing with a bunch of married couples. Fighting immediately!
The company made them pull ashore. Had all of the men get out and move ONE canoe to the right. The guy on the right to the left.
Now NOBODY was with their spouse. He had them introduce themselves to the other person.

And the next 2hrs was Amazingly peaceful and fun. Because we tend to treat our spouses much worse than we would treat a stranger.
And the guy who was running the show knew this. And did this many times. Nobody was trying to be "right", and nobody was "blaming".

Genius Move!

Why I stopped voting Libertarian as my "complaint" vote.
1) There are not enough of us that it actually matters
2) It plays into their hands. Disenfranchise the people
3) It is actually 1/2 a vote for the Looters. Because they have ZERO conscience

I never voted for a Bush. I am proud of that.
But today, we have INSANITY vs. QUESTIONABLE
as our choices. Giving 1/2 vote to INSANITY seems insane!
I also BELIEVE: If you don't vote, "STFU" your opinion on politics is MOOT.

Finally, to those asking why we don't get "better" people.
The system is optimized to find exactly who the $$$ brokers can control.
That's what made TrumpV1 so powerful. He owed nobody. (But he believed the criminals, like Reince Priebus who were just "Conservative Looters".

I have between 10-20 yrs left on this planet. I would love to hold my future grandchildren.
I have a TOUGH time turning this over to the DSA crowd.

Choosing our representatives and senators in Washington has become the equivalent of campaigning for student body president and student council: Who's the most popular and can make the most outlandish "promises".

Some of the pictures look like where I grew up in Northern Wisconsin. I used to fish with my Grandpa up there but that was a long time ago.

Me dino will choose between the lesser of two evils when that is the only choice I have.
Me an old dino been there done that and did not like it one bit.

Oh, so fun! I don't fish....and I'm really not an outdoors person, but to see REAL photos of people I've interacted with here..... I totally love that!
