Buddy of mine and I asked our local tractor dealer if we could borrow his Corvette in mid 80’s for the prom. His laugh was very memorable…
I love the Vietnamese run donut shops you find in rural towns. I'm certain someone from the old country figured out you could make a good living running them, and the word spread in the community.
They have names like "Best Donuts" or my personal favorite, "Yummy Donuts" and are in those little strip malls where nothing else survives.
Best damned donuts I've ever had.
They work their asses off and open at 5am, done at 12. “Donut Palace, where the customer is king!”
It has to be a cash cow but they have best sausage rolls I’ve ever eaten.
Love to support folks like that even though my donut eating days are far less than they use to be.
One of the radio stations we owned in the late ‘80s/mid 90s was an oldies station. Every parade or event the local Ford dealer let is pick up his ‘57 T-Bird, slap our KEXO cardboard promotional plates on it and return it when we felt like it. Even left the plates on it when it was in his showroom. But he NEVER loaned us his pride and joy, a restored ‘65 Mustang Pony convertible.
We also made good use of our old Porsche to promote our FM station.

Fluffy Donuts here, plus the best Banh mi I’ve ever had in the states
None of ours serve Banh Mi, though we have a pho shop that does.
Named Pho King, believe it or not.

Can of worms subject!
We got one in our town and I have mixed feelings about it. It is nice having another option to possibly find what you’re looking for. They carry blasting sand/soda which is nice, and they also have a good selection of abrasive/grinding/sanding discs. They were also the only place in town that had a transfer punch set.
They don’t have left hand drill bits or much of a selection of taps or dies IIRC. I’ve struck out more times than I can remember looking for something that wasn’t just basic.
As far as the Made In China aspect, you can’t get away from that with nearly anything anymore. Just bought a Makita grinder that was MIC, and think even a lot of DeWalt and Milwaukee is MIC. So at that point unless you use that specific tool daily or weekly, what’s the difference between two MIC tools other than a brand name? Both are still MIC.

WTF, WTF, WTF!!!!
We can try!!
Sittin in the PiG while Kim is in Walmart. People
watching in parking almost as good as at a mall!!
Quite a bit of reduction with road noise with BFG A/Ts instead of the Mud terrains which is nice. Smoother ride also.
Gave the pig good scrubbing at car wash. Hopefully drive home doesn’t stir up too much dust so I can take some rubbing compound to it. Wife won’t let me doing anything in shop with new floor, gonna wait till tomorrow and let it cure some but trying to get drivers window functional today.

Forgot that was a 5 speed
Not me but kids had great day! They attend college in Hawaii, her boyfriend is greatest kid who has helped Kelsey so much during her health issues with new onset Epilepsy which started last year. He asked her out their Senior year in high school and it’s been a blessing ever since.
She couldn’t drive until last month and Nik has helped get Kelsey everywhere she has ever needed to be without question in older 4 runner we got them.
Nik is in first year of architecture school and doing great and has some serious talent. His grandparents had fund for school and to help with housing but nothing else. His parents told him to get a job this fall but with him staying at lab many nights past midnight it’s extremely difficult to find a job as he has been trying without any luck.
So we’re basically supporting two wonderful kids with groceries and his architectural supplies. He doesn’t have any outlets and no funds to do anything so we bought him membership at climbing gym which he joined with one the low price intro offers but couldn’t afford it after that ran out. His birthday is the 17th and we’re gonna surprise him with new (used) surf board as his skills have exceeded his long board.
Well long intro but apparently the kids were volunteering at a farm today in Hawaii and Nik met his all time favorite singer Jack Johnson.
Have to share his big smile!!
