Like Tim I secured Paramount 2 yrs ago but both of the last Star Trek renditions sucked so badly I was unable to watch. Come on, a show that would have us believe that such an emotionally broken crew could even start a star ship, much less be able to fly it? LOL it's my only subscription and it will run out next month...i won't renew.

Ray....i still haven't done my firesticks but i was told my cost will be 200 for 2 of them! I like your prices better!

Today is rear-brakes-on-daughters-car day! It's supposed to be 60F.....we might work outside!

Thanks for the heads up N! We saw several planets a few weeks back.....like 6 ..but I remember that the real show is this week!

Got the brakes done but couldn't get the rotors off. We did the pads and gave her the new rotors to take home. Her boyfriend knows someone who can install them. I didn't want to cause a major issue for her by messing it up. Retreating on the rotors lets her win another day when she gets them installed.

60F outside....wow!

Dear Jeff, Ray, Tim, Chef and Edward,

If you look at your night sky you might be able to see your very own Star Trek and maybe Cathie can see it as well.

🤗Natrah. I saw on the morning news today that they'll be visible all week. Friday is supposed to be the best day for my area. But there's a couple planets that won't be included without a telescope 🔭

Sleepless in Chester Harbor...again.
We have house guests so I have very few places to play at night.....

I got my recovered headliner for my little convertible car from the shop. Not cheap at nearly $400 w a tip but I really like that car and although it has nearly 200,000 miles, every single thing in it works. Maybe I'll try to reinstall it today.

Ray is out again I noticed....prob fighting off some major stuff again....btw I dropped the book in the mail for you yesterday. You'll see it in a week.....im cheap and sent it "book rate".

I used to run an eBay store selling toolkits for vintage motorcycles. I made nearly$50K per year....UNTAXED(I quit selling when they taxed eBay income)

5 yrs ago it cost $28 for a small flat rate box to anywhere on the planet. Today, the price is $45 to start. 95% of my sales went to the UK. I thought about selling again but between shipping and the tax on the income, the price will have to be adjusted making each kit over $500, up nearly 100 dollars just to cover the imposed costs.....lol
It's actually a conundrum....i have arguably the world's largest collection of vintage kawasaki tool kits. The correct pliers alone sell for over 100 bucks per pair yet with all the fees and taxes there's a very good chance that they will never make it into the hands of the guys looking for them. I don't need the money bad enough to give a third of it away for taxes.

The stage for tonight's Planetary Alignment starring:

Saturn
Neptune
Mercury
Venus
Uranus
Jupiter
MarsView attachment 388052
I can't see the first three because they are low in the sky and one of our mountains is in the way. You can't miss Venus and i think found the other three. So 4 out of 7 ain't bad.
