It was doing that last year, but it never got this bad. We'll have to get a bunch of gravel and stuff to fix it.

Now go be a good son and get the county public works to come and put in a new tile. Went out to crank my car a little over 2 hours ago and the battery is dead as a hammer. It won't even jump off, and my battery charger keeps throwing a fault light

What is this paving you speak of? Around here, they dump a load of dirt and call it a road.

In the old days they made it out of that baked clay stuff in short sections. You'd join them with some oakum (rope type filler) and then smear in mortar.

(oakum sounds like something you'd smoke! )

They pave them here well, if they want to Most of the time they just do hacked up patches.

Roads here get hacked up patches too. Then a good rain comes and washes all the patchwork away.

^One of the roads here looks like that, only 10x worse. One they completely resurfaced last summer, and already they had to put the "rough road" signs up.

From the pic you put up it looks like it has collapsed. When one gets a hole in it, it makes the surface cave in


Any body know how to remove an aftermarket car alarm. I think that's what drains my battery when I don't drive the car for a few days. I pulled the box out from under the carpet to take a look, and it has 1 wire harness about 3/4in around that goes under the dash and spider webs everywhere. When the alarm goes off nothing and I mean nothing in the car works, not even the dome light until it's disarmed

I hate those things. It all depends on the install. If they spliced into everything it can be a nightmare.

Just watched 'The Blind Side'.

Good movie. Great story. Two great human beings. It's amazing what a little kindness and compassion can do.
