    HOW TO ANSWER THE PHONE

    I have a VOIP line. The provider has an option called Telemarketer Block. For every call that isn't in my phone book it plays a message that asks the caller to press a number to complete the call. The number is random, changing with each call. I rarely get any telemarketers through that and no...

    Worst beer?

    I'll second the IPA comment. I really can't understand the obsession with IPA's. It seems that most bars/restaurants with decent beer menus are at least 3/4 IPA's. Haven't found one I'd order again. One I used to really enjoy that I haven't seen in years is San Miguel Dark. Not sure if its...

    Worst beer?

    Damn. Reading through this thread has sure brought back some memories. Many of you guy's worst beers were at one time or another my beer of choice. When in Japan my favorites were Asahi and Kirin. Heavy on the malt, light on the hops as I remember (which seeing as it was 50 years ago may not be...

    Worst beer?

    In the late '60's we could buy OB beer at the EM club in Japan. 5 cents a bottle. Terrible stuff but it gave a whole new meaning to dollar beer night.

    TV show "Yellowstone"

    Do you have a soundbar attached to your TV? If not, they are a big improvement over TV speakers and many have adjustments to improve dialog.

    In keeping with some of the car threads...

    I owned two Vipers. First one totaled at Mid Ohio. The second one, driving back to Phoenix from east Texas saw a tick over 180 on a deserted stretch of I10. As for motorcycles, several BMWs including a slightly modified K1200RS that topped around 130 and a Suzuki Katana that once saw 140. It...

    Test drove some BMWs

    I have a 2015 335i. For me a BMW must have 6 cylinders. With an exhaust, intake and ECM tune the car makes reasonable power, around 360 at the crank. An M Performance suspension brings the F30 closer to older models as far as handling goes. Got a good deal on a CPO so even with the upgrades it...

    Military tats

    Flag and Eagle with the USN banner underneath. Pensacola, 1965. 17 years old, 6 or 7 hours in a dive bar, all of us underage and not carded. All ended up getting tatted before a cab ride back to the base. Woke up around 5 AM, stumbled into the head and found one of the guys scraping his arm with...

    Credit card suggestions?

    As to monitoring card usage. My credit union will alert me if any charge (or withdrawal from checking) exceeds a preset limit. I set the limit at $5. I get quite a few alerts but I'll put up with the slight inconvenience for the peace of mind.

    Credit card suggestions?

    I stopped using my USAA credit card when they refused to end their relationship with the NFL. If they don't respect the National Anthem, I don't respect them. I do business with a local credit union. I don't know their position on the 2A but I'd rather support a local business over a big bank.

    Vietnam Era

    Your CC's brother must have been in San Diego in 65. Had virtually the same experience. Name was Chief Smith as I recall.
