    Prayers desperately NEEDED!!!!

    Prayers needed!! Today is my oldest son's birthday, he is 31 years old. Two years ago, we got him an emotional support dog (Ruby) and because of the dog, my son has lost over 100 pounds, he WAS homebound and extremely socially awkward ... he would not engage in a conversation with ANYONE, or...

    Door Jambs - Pre or Post Wash

    I have been washing them after the tires, but before washing the body of the car. Usually, I will rinse them immediately after washing by taking the nozzle off the hose and using free-flowing water to avoid splashing the interior. Then once the whole car has been washed and rinsed, I will dry...

    Medical Retirement APPROVAL! + A surprise from my wife ...

    Yes, my wife is awesome - unfortunately our early years were really rough because I was so wrapped up in my "career" I neglected her and my kids - THAT is rapidly turning around, at MY desire. But, more free time or not, I am still a weather-dependent detailer. So until Mother Nature decides...

    Medical Retirement APPROVAL! + A surprise from my wife ...

    Thanks, although I have not worked since Sept, 30th and have decompressed a lot by simply no longer being IN that lethal environment, between the letter Saturday and the phone call confirming the 9th as my official date I still FELT a huge release. It's kind of difficult to wrap my head around...

    Medical Retirement APPROVAL! + A surprise from my wife ...

    I got the approval letter Saturday morning, saying that my medical retirement had been approved. I called the retirement system this morning and got confirmation. As of right now, I AM retired. A strange thing JUST happened. As I was typing this, a representative from my former employer's Human...

    Brother's early Christmas

    The whole operation was a success. I was able to get his truck for the day by telling him the truth - I needed it to go Christmas shopping and what I was buying wouldn't fit in my wife's Escape (the ABSOLUTE truth, without telling him ANYTHING :laughing: ) I dropped the truck off at 9 am and it...

    Brother's early Christmas

    They are brand new. While I do know the steps and process of restoring lights, I've never actually restored any myself, so I didn't want to experiment on my brother's truck. If it had been MY car, it might have been different. When I got the itemized list of parts & labor, I saw the shop had...

    Brother's early Christmas

    Sorry, we're closed

    If you changed "Court" to "Department," and you are pretty close to what I was experiencing. With us, it was personnel shortage, stemming from a 'hostile.' turned 'toxic,' turned "LETHAL" working conditions. Employees who "fled" from the Chief and his den of snakes (like-minded administration)...

    So this time, my NIECE did a thing

    If I heard my Sister-in-Law right, they intend to buy the car at the end of the lease. They went for the lease, for the lower down payment/payments.

    So this time, my NIECE did a thing

    The funny thing is ... two of her brothers have gone to school and are currently working as diesel mechanics. But *I* am the one to recommend many things automotive, such as telling them DO NOT let the dealership sell them a "Paint Protection Package," as I will be able to to do a much better...

    So this time, my NIECE did a thing

    Yesterday, my niece bought (leased) her very first NEW car. It's a 2023 Honda Civic. Nice color too, and she did it all on her own! My sister-in-law posted on Facebook about it, and there were a ton of responses congratulating her and saying how nice the car looked. Me being the uncle I am, I...

    Sorry, we're closed

    At my job, that is definitely true. The Chief AND the CEO are RABID liberals and (I honestly believe) are Intentionally trying to burn down my department, with their negative attitudes towards police officers and their "Oh, poor baby" way of looking at KNOWN FELONS. When I went on Medical Leave...
