Giving Michael Block an exemption to play next week was awesome  . . .

He earned that exemption on the 18th. That up and down was world class, right up there with the top players. It kept him in 15th place which was the cutoff for exemptions.

Glad to see Koepka win today. The Michael Block story was interesting and cool to see him do well. He seems like a real humble cool dude.

I'm hoping DeChambeau takes it. Not because I'm a fan, but I want a LIV golfer to win a major and give the PGA a big .

The PGA guys owe the LIV guys a big thanks for making the PGA finally open up their wallet and increase purses on their tour. Guys like Rory talk chit publicly but have benefited financially from the new competition.

Musk is not impressed.

Another vote for the Weber Q. I bought mine for camping but ended up using it at home too. Surface is big enough to cook for a few people.

Wait, from start, go then back to stop in 30 seconds? 😲

Yep. Car & Driver listed the same stat. Seems unbelievable to me too, that's a little more than 8 seconds to brake to 0 from 249 MPH. Doesn't seem possible. Must have huge brakes a super sticky tires.

Its braking prowess was demonstrated with a run from 0 mph to 249 mph and back to 0 mph that it completed in 29.93 seconds, more than a second quicker that the previous record.

^^^This was the most impressive stat to me. Damn, less than 30 seconds!

A cat shot on a carrier is approximately 165 MPH in 300 feet, in under 2 seconds.

My brother was on the Midway and launched once as a passenger on a bigger prop plane. He said it felt like his eyeballs bounced off the back of his skull.

That 0 to 60 is insane. 

What does that even feel like...crazy.

My best 0 to 60 launch was 2.8 in my C8 and it was a rush. Can't imagine doing it over 1 sec faster. 

Rimac Nevera is an all electric drive. I think it's amazing what these high performance EV's can do, but when I think supercar, I think ICE.

Damn that was a hard hit on the front rim, surprised he didn't go down. Be careful on the tail of the dragon, lots of bikes go down every year on that ride.

It comes down the the wild card picks.  Catch a couple of those ( totally luck) and you can go from a zero to a hero quick.

 

Finished 9th in the group and 15,951th overall

I only hit the wild card a couple times I think. What I did different this year was to go back to last years results by track/location before submitting my picks. I believe there are certain riders that just seem to do better on some tracks/locations and not so good on other tracks/locations. (Barcia comes to mind)

And Esco posting last minute injuries helped too. 

Wow, I finished 1st on the "just for fun" fantasy SX group. Also stoked that I finished 578th overall on the RM Fantasy board!! Best finish ever by far for me.

Pure luck since there are many on the board with far more knowledge than me.

I had a rear main seal leak on a '13 F250 PS and if I remember correctly, they had to remove the tranny. No cab removal that I was aware of. Mine was done under warranty.

Social Security is not taxed in AZ

But the feds do, and Biden co-sponsored the bill.

Someone is back peddling after his virtue signaling appears to be coming back to bite him in the @$$.

do you have a contact, because their internet sales says the don't have nothing.

Sorry, I just looked for the info and I can't find it. The last truck I bought from them was a '17. I can't recall the guys name I dealt with, neither could my wife. (getting old sucks)

Edit to add: I just looked at the ad again and I think it was Todd Hughes I dealt with.

They are on my hit list today to call. Thank you.

Deal with their fleet guys, a lot less hassle than dealing with their floor salesmen.

Just found this at Corning Ford. I've bought a couple trucks from them and pricing was good.

Looks like they have a couple in stock.

If they move forward with this it will be tied up in the courts for quite a while me thinks.

Oregon tried a grant program that was exclusive to black owned businesses only and the courts struck it down as discriminatory. Very little of the millions were distributed, but the NGO charged with administering the grants spent millions for "administration cost". NGO's are the largest money laundering scheme for crooked politicians!
