Drifted a good amount overnight while I was attempting to sleep. One of those nights when my mind kept going and goin and going. Finally got up and turned the coffee on. Was evaluating the turning points in my life that seem to happen without causing me any undue stress and then every once in awhile I spend a night thinking about things that it is too late to do anything about even if I wanted. That probably is significant but a shrink probably wouldn't want to go wandering around in my head for very long or they would never get out in good condition. Now that is my drift for today. Drift on,don't worry,be happy!

Don't worry about that, vonn. I think we've all spent restless nights filled with "woulda, coulda, shoulda" thoughts. I've learned over the years to focus on the here and now, enjoying the moment, and looking forward to the future. Enjoy your day because the only thing guaranteed is yesterday.

Chortle if you must ;), but the 2CV turned out to be a wonderful car, once you learned it's many quirks.

The design specification: A low-priced, rugged "umbrella on four wheels" that would enable four small farmers / peasants in clogs to transport 50 kg (110 lb) of farm goods to market at 50 km/h (31 mph), if necessary across muddy, unpaved roads. The car would use no more than 3 liters of gasoline to travel 100 km (78 mpg ), and be able to drive eggs across a plowed field without breaking them.

Good morning all! Hope everyone's off to a good start! :cool: Hot and humid here already this morning! :eek: 9AM and its 80 degrees already with a humidity of 75%. :eek: I was out cleaning the pool first thing this morning and it was unbearable already in the shade! Seems the summer heat is going to hammer us now that the rain season is over! :rolleyes:
Day 2 of Granddaughter days, don't even know the kid is around! ;) Right now she is downstairs playing with her mothers old doll house! :) Now I have an excuse to pack it up and send it home with her! :cool:
The deck project is coming along very nicely, the new railings are going in, feel bad for those having to work out back there on the Sahara dessert deck! :rolleyes:
vonn, I have been having a busy mind as I sleep as well, going to have to lay off my sleeping Meds or something, and all I'm taking is Alieve PM?

In determining my age in dog years, should I multiply by 7 or divide by seven? Ugh. Math.

Just pretend this is hwitty.

Just remember that the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon can be calculated by multiplying (n-2) by 180 where n is the # of sides of the polygon. Additionally, the sum of exterior angles of any regular polygon is always 360°. And finally, all interior and exterior angles of regular polygons are supplementary. I hope that helps, br![emoji12]

First car I have seen that would look better in camouflage, perhaps even the dazzle camouflage?

Way back when, the construction company I worked for got cost conscious, CHEAP!!!, and bought several Renault Dauphin cars for the project managers! You could not get them to go 10 miles without breaking down. Parts and mechanics unavailable!
Of course with their size and non existent padding in the seats, the driver, not big enough for 2 American sized people, could not stand to be in them for 10 miles ! Definitely a LOSE, LOSE proposition ! Luckily I drove a pickup, you know the ones with 3 on the tree, clutch that was good for leg workout, heaven help you if caught in slow stop and go traffic, and if on site, or a rough road, you better keep your thumbs outside the steering wheel !

Loctite and guns - do they mix? This subject keeps coming up - hence another thread for those who wonder.
