Hi Folks,
A Looooong time ago I submitted my costs for having to change passwords etc thanks to Equifax Data Breach. Yesterday's mail arrived and I got a check from the Settlement fund for $198.

Hi Folks,
Well....what a joke...Quick Lane... I guess 4 hours is quick to our local dealer. I had to schedule a month out to get an oil change. I cringed as I do my own work, but this great (otherwise) extended warranty requires a "professional" business changes the oil. CRAP! So I...

Hi Folks,
High winds today and when we went to feed Tito outside...he wanted nothing to do with food in the wind gusts to 35mph... So he headed back to inside the house until I brought the plate of kale inside where he ate about half a plate. Here are some pictures of a unhappy tortoise...
Hi Folks,
