Kurt's driving lesson for today

 

This happened to me three times today.

I went to Seguin to do some shopping on the northbound 466 and twice SB on 1117 toward Nixon to get a round bale.

All three of the vehicles were doing 10MPH below the speed limit until I could pass them. THEN they all decided to put their foot in the carburetor.

 

1- TX law Sec. 545.053 (b)2 says (b) An operator being passed by another vehicle:....(2) may not accelerate until completely passed by the passing vehicle. 

I'm sure other states have the same kind of statutes.

 


AND-

 

2- I'll bury my speedometer getting passed you so just keep doing whatever you were doing as I drive the speed limit.

 

This ends Kurts' driving tips for today.
Buckle up, enjoy the ride and keep your hands inside the vehicle. (Just like they told the girl crew of Bezos thrill ride)

You didn't know you need to watch this

Via DMF.

I'm seeing a lot of doom and gloom about the stock market

 Because of tariff wars- maybe?

If you were thinking about getting into the stock market, now would be almost as good as back in May(?) of 2020 when America shut down and stocks tanked.

I put some $1500 into Jack in the Box when it hit around $8.50/share and sold it at around $22 to put into something else that was paying better dividends. Now, my $1,000 in dividends I reinvested at $12.45 bought a lot more than it would have two weeks ago when it was in the $20 range.

It's all in perspective and over the long haul, stocks generally gain.

Maybe not as much as you want, but unless you choose the wrong time to sell, you'll be a little better.

 

I also took a shot at doing a DRIP on penny stocks at $2.24/stock. $250 worth with a steady 4 cents dividend every three months which will buy me 2-3 stocks this time and 3-4 next time.

It's not another remake

Lets hope it's not woke.

 Seriously!
I'm getting tired of seeing this

Elon is picking up passengers from the ISS.
It's been in the works for months.
It's no more newsworthy than his 100th round trip.

It's *****NOT***** a rescue.

A rescue would go something like
"Drop everything you're doing and see how fast you can get to Apollo 13 because their Oxygen tank blew up!"

I just got back from the San Antonio VA

 

 

 

TxDOT has every f*cking interstate interchange blocked down to one lane (from 3-5) SB I-35 to NB I-10 is always a hassle. Add in the onramps and cones and it really sucks. We were probably doing 5 MPH if we were moving at all.

Siri didn't show shit about the road work that obviously been going on for a while. 

I'm glad I budgeted a little over an hour and a half to get to Audie Murphy.

 

After I got done, I decided to stay on EB I-10 to Seguin.

Yeah, they had 5 out of six lanes closed off there, too.

Why da fuq are 4-wheelers so married to the lane they're in that it takes cones to force them into a different lane.

I got into the open lane early and left a good 100 feet in front of me, but nobody was even interested until the f*cking HAD to merge.

AND they still have 15 miles of I-10 they're working on on the way to Seguin.

 

 

Oh, and we're looking at an MRI and probably rotator cuff surgery.

You're Monday Rule 5 puzzle on Tuesday

 Because it got blocked like I kinda thought it would.
So we get her again, still waiting on your soul.

Yesterday was supposed to be some massive Prog. boycott

 Nobody was supposed to buy anything to... stick it to the Man.

Or something.
I put 43 gallons of gas in the F-250 and 17 in the Silverado.
Stocked up on booze.

Got a handful of 4" grinding discs.
And a round bale (that didn't count because I got it from a farm.

What did you buy last Friday?

It's getting close to Musk's Monday deadline

I went grocery shopping today

And noticed that the Campbell's chunky soup was about 75 cents less than it was about two weeks ago.
The HEB store brand was over a Dollar less.

Last time they were both almost $3 a can.

One of the few bloggers

 That I never thought would be triggered by the Trump 47 presidency was Tam.

I don't remember her making the digs she is now under Trump 45, but I dunno- things change and he's not nearly as obnoxious now as he was then. But Tam is definitely having troubles adjusting now.
