My vote is for the Pontiac Aztek.

The ugliest car ever.

Ever.

There is a reason they only produced it for a few years.
The AMC Pacer and the Chrysler Crossfire are right up there in my books.

I think this one is rather ugly, too. Looks like a huge plastic toy.
Yup, right up there with the original Porche SUV

All done, all looks good. Two polyps removed. Doc said they'll do a biopsy but he doesn't think there's a problem.
Country fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and apple pie down the hatch.
Time for a nice nap.
Glad to hear your plumbing is in fine shape!

The process does have a couple of positive bits.

You get things cleaned and flushed out very well. A great, clean feeling.

The drugs they give you while they are going about their business are pretty good.

And last, but not least, the feast afterwards is always awesome.
Agreed on all accounts!

Automatic transmissions are dumbing down operating motor vehicles.
True, but look at the bright side. It's much safer because it's hard enough to make a turn while texting and drinking a latte so it's best not to complicate things by having to shift too.

That is especially true of electric and hybrid models, putting them in the political statement class instead of making them to attract people who may not want to attract attention to themselves.
There is always this understated family car.

So a busy weekend. The Grandkids paid us a visit Friday evening so the cooking aspect of our new fire pit was unleased for the first time. The next day I took them for a ride in the SxS and off they continued on their holiday. The Missus and I had to have a nap Saturday afternoon; I love em, but man they are tiring!

And yes Dave, bacon in our BLT Sunday morning...and Charlie's sourdough bread toasted to perfection.

Oh yeah, and baseboards where completed other that 2 feet I could not complete as I ran out of material!! Pictures soon.

They left us out of the map. Either they're ignoring the fact that the smoke has reached us, too... or we simply don't exist

Self driving cars. The sooner, the better.

Thanks for that Dave!
The Thread has gone off the rails about automobiles again, or is it still?

In other news, I had a great breakfast with coffee, eggs, hash browns, toast, and BACON.
In still other news I just ordered a new Weber Performer grill. I paid $150 for my used one in 2009,
and have no doubt I can get that back out of it today. It's another blue one, but a different lighter shade.
Won't arrive for about a month from Crate and Barrel, The color is only sold by them.

Much better topic than photography performed at the end of a long hose.
