It's Just a Tank

Sunny is funny.

There are bad words...

probably why I can't view it at work...

Its harmless. Just a snake monster thing. But.. todays people. We're getting sensitive.

snake monster sounds pretty dangerous.

Very true. Satirists like George Carlin would probably be “banned” in many certain states of a political color these days. It might be my imagining but I’m old enough to remember people generally being thicker skinned in general growing up. My 2 cents.

I remember when “blowing a tranny” meant you had to replace a transmission on a car!

By the way @Goaway , beautiful dogs. What breed?

I was growing up, 8 years old. I told my dad I wanted to join the soccer team. Him and my sister replied "soccer is for girls" I did not join the soccer team. Many jokes as I matured would take place because of that.

Mind you, I was chopping up wood at the age of 4. Dad would never let me push the lawnmover, or use the torch. We had to leave for that... But he let me have an axe.

Sunny is a doberman. Part european and ameriacan blood lines. I am still after a euro male.

Ah, sunny still has Un cropped ears, that’s what threw me off. I’ve found Dobies that friends had in the past to be very affectionate. In any case very well put together. I’m a cat person but I do love dogs as well, my grandparents and uncle on my moms side having them .This is my little furball, Mika

That’s pretty funny. I don’t know that I agree with it all as there were plenty of times I tried to get the now 21 year old to push the mower, weed wack, grab a shovel and move some snow, hand me a wrench or two when I was under the car, put on a welding helmet, operate any number of air tools for carpentry or automotive, the list goes on. Unfortunately, it seems I always caught her either going to or coming from a dance class, recital or competition. Competitions, by the way, that I’d have to stop and drop everything to go to. Never missed one. She started dancing, by choice, at age 3. Happy she stuck with it as it pays a decent portion of the costs associated with her going to Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University.

I can't stand cats. They are like actually wearing super glue.
Ryoki.
She would not allow me to pet the dogs. My chair was her chair. My fiid was hers, she could not stand when i had anxiety. She lived to 14. Young death for a cat. But, she was on medicine because of spinal injury

Im a tom boy at heart. Dancing, soccer its for girls. I roamed the mountains looking for cougars and bears.
I stilll don't wear a dress. Im working on it!!!!

@crusso1993 your daughter sounds pretty tallented.

I made the mistake not cropping her ears. She flips them back when we walk.
Next one, ears are getting done. Never met a dog with cropped ears that cared or felt pain afterwards.

Very much so and quite smart too. She’s in the Honors college at ASU and has taken 23 credit hours every semester since her second semester of freshman year. She could easily graduate early but cannot do so due to one of the dance programs. It’s a four year program and they make no exceptions. Additionally, she works at multiple studios teaching classes and separately doing choreography for students. She has also done a bunch of choreography for high schools in and around Phoenix. The money she makes for the choreography is quite good. Also, she is making some inroads in the dance world in LA. We’ll see how it all turns out but it is looking very good.

BTW - she wasn’t allowed to drive a car until after she proved she could change a tire. Take a wild guess who taught her.

Thats goid parenting. My dad did the same thing
He taught us early though. So we'd remember. Every tire change. He let us , my sister and me get our hands dirty. Things have changed

That's what AAA is for... last time I changed a tire it was seized to the rim anyway so AAA had to come because I don't pack a sledge in the car all the time...
These aluminum rims make self-maintenance difficult...

They don't want people self reliant. Vehicles should be proof enough.
Older models are easy to repair. If you can get the parts.

Ok, you’ve got me all curious over here now. How does a tire seize to a rim and why would you attempt to take the tire off the rim with a sledgehammer?

Im curious too. Makes me think they lock to something.

Also, newer cars are going to need a membership for heated seats. Car companies are so nice these days.

Ok, now you’ve got me all curious too. A membership for heated seats? What’s that mean? BTW - heated seats have been around quite a while. Caddy offered them at least 15 years ago. I had heated and cooled seats in my old 2011 Caddy STS with a “V” upgrade.
