More road distractions but informative.

Nobody takes the time to repair things anymore living in a disposable society is hard on our environment by filling landfills with old broke down appliances.

I always just rebuild things I own it saves me a lot of money .

You’ll void your warranty!

At my old age, I am still stuck on the information super lowway. Some might call it an off road mule track!

Here’s how! Old one in the trash after buying a shiny new one!

I used to joke to my wife about “the internets”. She would ask, “there’s more than one internet?” I would reply, “There are two internets: the information superhighway and the misinformation superhighway.”

Why would my toaster need to be rewired? The original wiring wore out?

if you drive slow enough, you might be able to read all the info signs… if your interested in them that is.

chapter 2: how to put on pants

This made me think of the old Burma Shave signs.

Try getting parts for a Tesla. Don’t hold your breath waiting. BTW, Musk did not start the company, he bought it.

Step 1 use the fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Step 20 After repairing the toaster, use the fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Step 21 Go buy a new toaster.

The last sign says, “Burma Shave”

Doesn’t seem safe to read while driving, not THAT much info!

Hmmm. Burma Shave doesn’t rhyme with toaster…

Turn back and far, far away when you come to the social media fork.

Unfortunately, many of these videos would start with the “history of toast”, proceed to “pertinent” elements of the videographer’s life story, get partway into the procedure, realize a mistake, and then back out …

I could read a print version with a couple of photographs in two minutes and be having toast before the video finished.

Well that sure ain’t Google Interstate 10…

OK, 2 days and Ziggy has not talked at all, just have signs, with the normal for comic strips all caps.

Burma Shave

I tend to repair, even when it would be cheaper to buy new, because I don’t want to contribute to the landfill any more than I have to.Also, I had a ‘99 Ford Escort that I wanted to keep for at least 15 years, but the Ford service manager kept telling me that whatever parts I needed weren’t made anymore. At that point, I’d only had it 9-10 yrs. They were trying to get me to buy a new car. I was so pi**ed with them that when I did finally buy another car, i went to a dealer 15 miles away. And let the local dealer know what I’d done.
