They are doing a tour of the US this year, calling it the "Over and Out Tour" Jeff Lynne is a musical genius in my opinion, one the greats of our time, and he is 76 years old. It seems to me that this might be one you want to make. Yes, he has lost a step, but he puts together a band and backup...

Just a heads up for you guys who use the above products on your trucks, I got an email from TDR yesterday they had picked up with Geno's Garage regarding a huge counterfeit operation doing these filters, both oil and fuel. There are several stories out there of counterfeit fuel filters...

While we were down in Az last month the wife and I hit a popular place for lunch one afternoon. Local place, not a chain. I got the impression the boss doesn't like slackers or people who stand around. Our server was a 19-20 yr old, either Hispanic or Native American, the latter I think based on...

He was here a couple years ago with his boat... A pic below. He has a couple of bikes for the Bike Show this year. You guys who are down there and are into this stuff are in for a treat. Trust me. I will try to share a couple of pics after the show.

We rolled into FBT world HQ about 3pm today. Tired, and a sore back, LOL. KOH was great. WW is an awesome host, got us around and showed us the cool stuff. He has a heck of a neighborhood out there, and lots of very cool friends. It is a small town, "micro-climate" that kinda surprised me. The...

I have always liked the guy. The wife watches the show all the time. I watched tonight because Miller was on. He said he "dropped out" awhile back because he sees our country in a nearly unsolvable mess. He made a couple of great statements. The guy was as serious as I have ever seen him and I...

I searched, I hope this isn't a VIN. In November Hot Rod Magazine (HRM) apparently announced they were cutting back to a quarterly publication schedule. Somehow I missed this, and just found out today when I went to see if somehow my subscription had lapsed. Cindy handles this stuff for me and...

I have aftermarket metal doors on my car, 2019 Turbo S. They are black, and I would like to have them match the car, which is Polaris 293 "Indy Red" I looked at getting the actual paint from Polaris' supplier, it is 45 bucks per can, you need the base, the color and the clear...probably 3 cans...

Sometimes we get caught up in all the madness and stuff that comes with this time of year. Tonight, Mrs FBT caught this as she was turning on the decorations. A moment...a sunset on a Christmas Eve...another day of many we are all so blessed to experience. And this moment can take your breath...

A while back, 'bout a year and some months, our resident genius wood craftsman, the above mentioned Whiteworks, posted some pics of a few spool tables he crafted for his desert retreat. The pics caused an idea I was looking for to bust through into my noggin. If you have been around, you have...

Over the years I have become a fan of podcasts and have about 20 or so I like. One of them is "The Proceedings Podcast". It is put out by the United States Naval Institute. The USNI puts out a print magazine called Proceedings, hence the name of the podcast. if you like magazines, are interested...

About a year and a half ago my wife, who is on one of those social media things, asked me if I recognized a certain name. Seems this fellow had reached out to her and said he was an old friend of mine from childhood. The name made me stop in my tracks. I sure as heck remembered. Rick was a...

We are creating a list of stuff to do to the new Genesis we bought...or should I say she has a list and I have one, LOL. The thing seems to ride pretty nice, but I am looking to do what I can to keep it from rattling apart on the highways we travel on. I see that LCI and a couple others make...

Been playing with this for a few years now...I thought I would have no problem running up my fathers' line. Wrong. I got back to the 1650's in North Carolina and it dies with a Grandfather who was either Scots/Brit and a Grandmother who was eastern Cherokee. It may be that I had a paternal...

Ken Mattingly passed on October 31. If you are younger, you remember him as played by Gary Sinise on "Apollo 13" If you were alive when that event took place, you remember a world locked together in prayer and concern as those 3 men struggled to get home. He was a US Navy pilot before joining...

Ford 7.3. The truck was driven into the shop, running. Maintenance is a thing, people.

Just some photos for you. So many people who never get off of the interstates think that "Nevada" is the scrub brush they see on the desert floor from the window of their car at 80 MPH on the way to and from Las Vegas, or along other major routes. It isn't. The rock face is deceiving. We...

Our new 5er came with an "RV LInk" system in it. I have learned that this is essential a WiFi hot spot, with the antenna up on the roof hidden in the TV antenna. Magnadyne, the company who builds it, pushes you to getting a ATT wireless sim card, but I have read that sim cards from other...

A couple weeks ago wife and I decided to move up to a new RV. We ain't getting any older, we plan to travel while we can do so, and the RV we had was not going to be the one. I essentially hated it from about day 10. Eclipse RV...never again. Yesterday I spent some time making my way around the...

I am not expert on RV solar, so go easy here if you respond, please LOL We are upgrading our RV solar system and I am looking for a less $$ alternative to the Battle Born Batteries, which appear to be the best, but they are also big money. Frankly, can't justify the $. If we were living in it...
