    Auto extended warranty feedback, anyone got one and are you happy with it?

    There is a spin of the wheel or a toss of the dice element in the decision to buy the coverage or not. I hope the choice works out for you.

    Auto extended warranty feedback, anyone got one and are you happy with it?

    The 2 I’ve had have more than covered their cost & I only did one coverage period, never a renewal. The 2 vehicles were a new 2014 Toyota Corolla & a used 2017 Ford Expedition. The Toyota involved a total replacement of the radio/electronics package. The Ford went into “limp mode” when the...

    Life Alert, Help!!!

    It’s been about 30 years since a cousin & I considered a Life Alert for an elderly uncle so things may have changed. Our issue then was he lived in a small town with an older phone system that could not support the LA service package. I tell you this because you may experience a similar...

    Another "Harmless" Balloon Over The US Headed East

    @ConstitutionCowboy & @turkeyrun: There never has been any FAA launch permission requirement, including those sent up regularly by the National Weather Service. There is guidance on places not to be used as launch locations but the NWS sends up radiosonde balloons at Max Westheimer airport in...

    We Tried to Pronounce Oklahoma Town Names

    It could be that anyone I know from anywhere in Osage County is not pronouncing each syllable so the spelling might be guessed. Typically pronounced as a mushed together word that sounds like “Puska” for those living further than one county away.

    Officers Candidate School - General Question

    Just a friendly FYI & I bet your son would back me up - as an officer in the USN, he was NEVER a Second Lieutenant. Yes, his initial rank insignia was a gold bar which indicates a 2LT in every other service (O-1 for pay classification purposes) but he was called ENSIGN for rank designation...

    Officers Candidate School - General Question

    Very much incorrect on USMA entering as O-2. During VN, promotion to O-2 occurred at 18 months TIS/TIG. My class at Ft. Sill on Officer Basic was 50% USNA graduates on the USMC option. Every one of them were O-1, just like me coming from ROTC.

    Great Raft Race. Does this still go on in Tulsa?

    Nope - the GRR never went that far south - see KOPBET’s post about the Gilcrease.

    Moving to Kansas

    I was born and raised in Ark City & came to OK in 1972 but still had lots of KS relatives that spread from Burden (dad’s hometown) to the Wichita metro. Wish you the best in Douglass in your new venture.

    TV Commercials

    “Alan Merrill Thevrolet in Yukon Oklahoma, we need cars for the Methican Market!” You do know that “Mexican market” was on SW 29th in OKC, right? Those cars never crossed the Rio Grande. Just the South Canadian.

    shoulder surgery

    Ditto on the PT, both at the PT clinic & the take-home exercises with resistance bands. It makes a great difference on how well you recover strength and mobility.

    Anyone know what these cables are for?

    I’ I was about to make a similar comment about possibly being from military electronics. I saw such cables used for radio connections between transmitters and receivers or to teletype inputs/printers. Also used for control connections to multi-frequency antenna systems.

    Reaction to Shingles Vaccine

    Your reaction to the 2d injection is pretty much a carbon copy of my experience. No problem with the first one.
