Have some in our Tahoe and absolutely love them. A full set for my Son's car, 2013 Corolla, should be arriving today. Never thought I'd see him excited about floor mats but, that was what he wanted for Christmas.

I thought a set for the rear would be overkill. I usually only carry canines in the back and I wanted it protected from them. I installed this a few months ago and it is worth every penny. https://jetboaters.net/threads/4knines-pet-cargo-hammock-for-crewcab-trucks.35443/

While out east I met some new friends in Rochester, NY and grabbed a jar of their syrup.

Just a little news about Cabot Cheese, a staple around here. They won some cheddar cheese awards in Las Vegas recently. We used to enter cheese competions and have won over 30 national and international awards in the past. Ya, we beat Cabot in the medal count at the World Cheese Awards in 2004 in England. We had 4 to their 3. More awards than any other US cheese maker that year.

Cabot cleans up at national cheese competition in Las Vegas with 15 awards

Cabot was awarded best cheddar title at a national cheese competition in Las Vegas, winning 15 awards in total.

I know this is more throw back Thursday, but this was us in 1999 after winning our first cheese medal at the ACS at Shelburne Farms in VT. Front row, hat. Willow to my left. Cabot is in there.

Some of the awards...

The shipping would cost 4X+ the price of the product these days. Especially a warm State, as in Florida or Texas.

my new loading bench, I'm not some kind of animal that has to load in the garage anymore, A/C and heat for me ! Still have some finishing and organizing to do but it's a start, I think I hid the crooked cuts pretty well,

I've done about 4k 28ga (we've shot about 3k of them), 1k 410 (we shot about 500 of them) and I just started on some 12ga light loads for my youngest daughter to try before I go into "production" mode,

it's very addictive, like a slot machine, pull the handle, see the turret move and then the "ding, clank" of a new shell falling on the table,

then the empty feeling of having no more empty hulls to load,

Yesterday’s (12/29) gas prices in SF Bay Area of California. I have to laugh or will cry about the money I would save if lived in a state where prices are closer to the average for the nation. That stated and illustrated, I don’t lose any sleep when I see news stories with people in other states saying this is the first time they have ever paid $3+ for a gallon of gas. It’s been the average for years here.

currently I put super unleaded in all my road vehicles and two Waverunners. The only thing that gets the “cheap” stuff is the boat.

the gas stations pictured are across the street from each other. What makes Chevron’s gas worth more than Valero’s?

Just curious, what does a home made round coat compared to a store bought round?

 

[adrianp89]

I am just curious why you choose to live there. I hear so much bad stuff about Sam Francisco. I don’t think I’ve heard anything good besides tech jobs, which now can be had anywhere.

hopefully you don’t believe everything you read about SF, if you do I recommend that you read other articles as well. There are a few out now comparing NY to CA and NC to NY where quality of life and cost of living are concerned.

I grew up here and my and my wife’s family live here . We also have relatively high paying jobs. Not all tech jobs pay the same. I know because I have peers in other states that didn’t start at what I did and don’t make the money I make. My wife is in the same position in that she has had coworkers move out of state for the same type of job, the consistent feedback she has gotten is that the cost of living is lower but so are the salary ranges.

The weather is great compared to most of the rest of the U.S. as well, unless you like really cold and snowy seasons. I think the weather is what attracts a lot of homeless people to CA. If I were homeless I would want to be in a state where I’m not likely freeze to death and/or be subject to heat stroke.

I saw these vents on Etsy a few days ago in case anyone here is interested.

I knew the first pics looked familiar, a lot like the Harry Potter section of universal studios in Southern CA.
Damn I was glad when my kid finally outgrew that stuff.
