Ugh. Must be Monday. :facepalm:

I hope the tow truck got to you quickly.
Yeah. I'm back. Add that the driver said my card was cancelled and my week is off to a roaring start. Turns out my card is perfectly fine and the yang yang who ran the card thru doesn't know what they're doing. Anyway, so now I get to fix the Bleep. Not exactly sure what the problem is. The usual circumstance. I'll probably change out the thermostats (idiots put two of them on this engine). It's not expensive and not a horrible job. If that dudn't work then it's probably the water pump (or worse). That pump is buried beyond belief and you gotta rip half the damn car apart to get to it. I'm too old for this. Can't contort like that anymore. If it's the pump I'll pay someone else to do it. They can wreck their body instead of me.

    You’re getting all the bad stuff out of the way early this week. It’s smooth sailing from here. :)

    You say the same “I’m too old for this...” things every time. Then you get a quote and do it yourself. :D

    Wonder why those Fail/Open thermostats never became regular use?

    I know. I get a bad case of sticker shock and cave in. Keeps getting harder to cave though.

    For now I’m wondering why these idiots at Chrysler put two thermostats on the thing. I’ve owned lots of Chrysler products but I swear they do some really squirrely stuff sonetimes.

    The Dodge?
    Not this time. The Bleep. Some people call them a Jeep.

    You mean the old Chryslers with the torsion bars, or do you mean the ones with positive ground electrical systems. Never mind. You're just talking about thermostats.

    Remember they tried reverse threaded lug nuts on the left rear and right front tires? Then they put the voltage regulator in the computer. Other wacky things.

    I’m hearing the Jeeps are crapola now since Fiat bought out Chrysler some 5 years ago. My Bleep is an 07. Far from a rugged automobile but it has hardly given me any trouble. That was back when Daimler owned them.

    Here’s something that the General may find interesting... or he may be horrified that anyone would do such a thing.

    Someone created a photorealistic portrait of George Washington if he were alive today.

    Is kinda weird. Has similar features. Washington was rather imposing looking in his younger portraits. Then when he got old, well, he was old looking. Of course 50s was old in those days.

    It was posted by the creator of it on Reddit. Has over 6k comments, many of whom had criticisms. I didn’t read through it.

    Agree on the similarities and oddity though.

    I don’t find it especially endearing. I do often dream about being in his presence back in the 1700s. How incredible that would be! To see him walking and talking. To know what he really looked like and how he sounded. His stature. The intracasies that you can only feel by being there. Portraits, while the best they could do then, just doesn’t cut it. I often think those so few photos of Abraham Lincoln are among the coolest photos ever. It makes him real. As if we are allowed to believe he really existed without having to use our faith or imaginations.

    I understand the criticisms of that made up photo. But there has been so much bullpuckey stuff made up about George Washington that this phony photo seems inconsequential.
