Random thoughts thread

So that ebay listing isn`t just a typo?

Snow...yeah, we had a significant snowfall Fri. PM and/but I just thought it looked nice (hey, we didn`t have to go out in it).

Heh heh, oh you crazy Autopian :D During the winter I`m washing a lot *more* often, like...weekly. But mainly, I`ll be happy to spend less time on the undercarriages, that`s the big winter hassle for me.

I only had the 440X6, but I gotta say it was trouble-free once it was set up right.

Then you get married and move on..

Heh heh, yeah...I hear that a lot. In my case, I introduced my soon-to-be wife to high performance cars and Driving Schools :D My compromise was related to the dogs, they simply prefer big SUVs over the station wagons I used to run. At least they didn`t care for the minivan, not sure I could`ve stuck with that much longer (even if it had run reliably, which it did NOT).

You`re way more dedicated than me. During the Winter I run our vehicles through the touchless every couple of weeks and call it good. We haven`t gone more than 72 hours without rain for over a month and temps haven`t strayed much above the upper 40`s. It`s simply not been worth the time and effort to wash anything because it wouldn`t be clean for more than a day. My cars are filthy, but so is every other car on the road right now, so I don`t feel too bad. I`m hoping to "lay hands" on them this week before it gets cold and rains again this weekend.
 
This was real nice to come out to today. Looks like someone put the edge of their door into it.

I`m enjoying this nice day finally. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm, but very windy. The prairie dogs are out. The magpies have built their nest. Snow still on some of the peaks.

Coleroad- Oh man, that`s quite a ding :( A few more of those and it`ll look like my Tahoe!

People in your area shoot the prairie dogs? I`m all Pro-Gun and all...but that`s not to my taste, they`re just too [darn] cute.

I`m sure ranchers do. They can be more than a nuisance for livestock.
 
This cat has been coming around a lot all winter. He hangs out under the front deck a lot too. He is huge, I think he`s a cross of domestic and bobcat.? Plus everyone around here says outdoor cats don`t survive, because of all the coyotes, and fox around here. This makes me wonder even more if my theory is right. I know he has lots of fur, but those paws are massive too.

Kind of looks like a Maine Coon. They are typically domesticated cats and can get up to 25 lbs. I have one, he’s gold and weighs about 22 lbs, 40 inches long when stretched out. They actually have huge paws and 3 layers of fur, I can clasp my fingers in his toes. They’re built for snow and that one looks out of place. It also appears to have the typical “M” on the forehead. That fur can really protect them in a cat fight.

well thank you for that information. I was hoping someone would know more about him than I did. Now I have some reading to do on Maine coon`s

Edit: I think you are absolutely correct! To bad this guy is wary of people. it`s nice to have a mouser around the house, and It`s cool just watching him run his territory. I don`t think he`s too out of place at 7100 feet in the Rockies .
 
I was thinking the same thing. Looks very much like a Maine Coon cat to me. They get huge. I’ve always wanted one. They can be expensive to purchase.

Oh yeah...I know serious Varminters who provide an essential service at various farms/ranches. Just not to my taste.

I love that Feral Cat, IMO *that* is a good way to keep the `dogs under control. Hope it doesn`t get eaten itself by the coyotes!

He looks part Maine Coon Cat to me, some of those are really big.

Six months ago today neighbor and friend past away just four days before we moved from Kansas to Colorado. He loved his Subaru, and the family kept it instead of selling it. I know that would have made him happy. I miss our times together. We only knew each other for a year, but it hit me hard.

Sorry for your loss...

Those bug eyed Subies were the best. I`ve had enough of the supercar and muscle car wars...can we start a rally car war again? And did the Lancer Evo`s win? Those motors could handle some insane boost

Yesterday I saw a video of an evo running 55psi that hit 190 in the standing mile..sequential manual gearbox.

Was that down in beeville at the old airport?

I honestly dont know. I presumed it was wherever the TX mile takes place. It was definitely an airstrip. It was a 1320 video I randomly found on fb entitled 1100 hp sequential evo goes 190 or something like that

I wanted an evo so badly when they came out in the early 2000s, but I found torque instead :)
