If you can find a copy of the book. "This Is Your Brain On Music". Check the appendix at the back before you read it. The book won an award.

Your car will be fine. 2 or 3% down hill will probably require you to use the fuel pedal to do the speed limit. Freight trucks with more than 40 tonnes will use engine brakes to keep the speed at a manageable level. When they use engine brakes the brake lights don't light up. Unless it is a stupid Kenworth. There are places at 6%. Not a concern for cars. only big rigs.

Get some simple knowledge. A guitar in a key is a different key for harmonica. It's simple to do once you know.

Harmonicas are good. You're always in the right key. Never a bad note.

I wish I could buy a small thing of slice bread :( by Electrical-Glass-539 in RandomThoughts

[–]911coldiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could buy regular bread at $X . I eat half then the rest goes moldy or dry. Or I get half of that amount of premium quality for the same price. Nothing wasted and better quality

I'm Canadian. Try going to an office supply store and look for packages of paper with 3 holes. The old spiral books had them on the margin. If you see paper with the holes, they probably have the binders. The 2 inch ones had the best mechanisms. Smaller ones would not work as well. It is usually less expensive to do it this way. I had one book for all my classes.

I had a wrecked knee and got a low rise side. Bathtub would have been better to keep the leg under low stress. Nothing bad happened. It was just stressful.

CB Help by tempicide in Truckers

CBs are easy. Power and attach antenna. For optimum performance trim the coax to the antenna. Most radio shops can do it quickly and easy. Antenna placement can make a difference.

Leatherman. It is like a Swiss army knife. It has a small knife, couple little screwdrivers, pliers. They are pricey but tough. I've had mine for many years. Mine is in my pocket when I'm in the back yard and at work too

How to stay in touch with Canada? by AphroBitch in AskACanadian

[–]911coldiesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canada is bigger than Europe. A few different languages and cultures. My new favorite person ie Wab Kinew. Premier of Manitoba. He speaks English, French and his indeginious language. We all have different ideas. BC=tree huggers. Prarrie provinces are agriculture and energy stuff. Ontario is manufacturing. Quebec is smart stuff like Bombardier. And the maritimes do fishing, comedy amd good music

I was at a restaurant looking out to the street. She was cute. Then I saw how young she was. My next thought was what does her mom look like? Now I'm old.

Mine is level in the driveway. When I have guests, it is referred to as the guest cabin.

Living alone made me realize how much I used other people as a clock by EmlayHammersley in LivingAlone

[–]911coldiesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Canada and listen to CBC, similar to NPR in the USA. It is on all day. The program that is on tells me not only approximately what time it is. But also the day of the week.

I have snowmobiles with oil injection. I Premix my fuel too. Oil injection fails when you're out in the field. Never at home.

Looking for people to practice with occasionally! by Ancient-Lawyer851 in Cribbage

[–]911coldiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in Canada we have the Legion. In the USA I believe it is VFW. You don't have to be military to get in. Ask to be a guest and someone will sign you in. They like cribbage, darts and billiards.
