Island Of Misfits

It will be interesting. In my case I paid the $12K value of the batteries at the time, for the whole car from a corporate lease return.

I do know that whole batteries don't fail, just cells and of one organization that was buying up old batteries and building home backup batteries from the cells.

Yeah I agree about cell failure - I've spent a hell of a lot of time with batteries - mainly lead-acid & alkaline during my working life.
But a fair bit of time during last few years with lithium batteries. I scrounge laptop and power tool batteries whenever I can and rebuild them & use cells for other purposes.
I have some older battery powered tools that utilised nicads & have given them a new lease-of-life by replacing with salvaged lithium cells.
I suspect there already some Bush mechanics rebuilding car battery packs much cheaper than factory new.

We're number one, we're number one! Portland now has the most stolen cars of any US city over a million population! The city just recovered over a dozen near a homeless camp being stripped for parts, begging the question of how exactly our bourgeoning homeless population is supporting themselves.

Hee, hee, hee, I got my silver locks shorn yesterday and the hair stylist made me smile by trying to work me, ostensibly for a better tip. She complimented my wavy hair, and told me it reminded her of a Greek god, and noted that I look like I had lost a few pounds since my last visit. She is pretty, tall, slender, well proportioned and wearing a tight mid calf knit dress with a scoop front that was revealing when she bent over and acted like I was an old client, but she had actually only cut my hair once before. She got the same 20% tip the stylist always get when they do a good job, but it was fun being played.

Maybe you should try George's trick from an old Seinfeld episode. He came with a brief case, inside was a recorder turned on. He would "forget" the brief case when he left, then go back and recover it. Then he could hear what they said about him on the recorder....

That is why they put such a long gown around you, not only does it cover your clothing from hair clippings. It also doubles as a shield to hide the occasional pull and tug you do while dreamer of her rubbing your head LOL

I thought that gown felt sticky on the inside..........................

Better to remain ignorant. Anyone who gets their feelers hurt while snooping, deserves it....................................... I don't need a recorder to know that a very pretty 20 something year old is not seriously flirting with this almost 80 year old gray headed, wizened, pot bellied old curmudgeon.

Way more fun watching her professional moves and smiling inside knowing that her performance was for income optimization, while thinking she was doing a good job.

55F @ 75% RH, partially cloudy, and predicted to reach 74F with good air quality.

Yet another lovely day in Paradise with no mass shootings or riots, spent dabbing, working on a ventilation article for the Lair and sharing quality time with the sleek, sly, pup in the off leash dog park.
An empty calendar, so looks like another day of joy and amazement doing the same again today. I've already started the dabbing part.

Passing left.................

OK Imagine your haircutter cutting hair in the Nude
I would pay extra for that experience, be fun

Haven't had a haircut since '75. Ain't made a woman pretty enough to make me get another one,

 

[pute]

I would like to let my hair grow like I had it when I was young......to much trouble. I keep it short enough to enlist in The guy with the Orange Hair's Army. I get it cut monthly by a old hippie. Guess what his tip is....no you dirty old fockers. Think again........

Ya Dam stinking Hippie

Ya Dam stinking Hippie

I resemble that remark, other than the stinking part. I don't mind getting dirty, but I like to get clean afterward.

Ain't that a pretty sight?

I believe that only dirty people wash.

Alas, they weren't very good around 2010, so I bought a gas chromatograph to get the job done and haven't kept up with new developments.

Beware the Ides Sampson................................

I shower sometimes just to play dirty with myself.

57F @ 81RH, clear, and predicted to reach 80F, with good air quality.

Over a hundred rounds fired into a housing complex, with narrow misses but no one hit.

Stolen and stripped car torched, starting a forest fire, which fortunately was contained.

Progress on my ventilation article and more quality time in the park mit der enthusiastic young pup. She scored half a dozen tennis balls yesterday and was full of herself.

My insurance company approved my knee replacement, but now we can't get into the hospital operating rooms and await schedule. Not looking forward to another one, but it beats the alternatives of sitting around with an aching knee and not being able to walk far enough to get good exercise and dying of a cardiac.
