Tank birthday, 47+ years

I lost some fish in my quarantine bucket. I'm not sure why? Maybe flukes, or hooks

Definitely hooks.

I have to go for a blood test this morning, so I went to the beach for my walk long before sunrise. Not a good sunrise picture.

Sunrise this morning from the west coast of Florida. This SpaceX rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral.

 

[mcarroll]

Definitely hooks.

I think it might be brook.

30 days fallow and treat them with copper, then prazipro them!

They'll be right as rain!

 

[Paul B]

I'm going out for my walk but I need a stronger flashlight as it is pitch dark so I can't see my feet and I worry about those ground squirrels running in front of me to trip me.

INSANE! what an accomplishment !

 

[Paul B]

My new Jeep. It's exactly like the one I traded in but it's white. I don't get excited about cars any more, it's just a way to get to the LFS to see what they have.

The thing is built with parts from all over the world. I wish they had a fully American one and I would pay double if it were.

 

[mcarroll]

I had an Acura lease a few years back and it was almost all made in Indiana....very close to 100%.

I don't understand Paul's viewpoint myself. If the material is North American, and the Labor is North American then then to me considering the profits are spent in NA as well, then to me its not foreign. As to Chev Ford, And Chrysler they are all a combined effort from Canada , and the US so I don't get it Paul . You don't have to respond we all have , and are entitled to our own opinions

 

[Paul B]

Freenow, you are probably not a Veteran. What can I say.

Cars used to be 100% built here like almost everything else but most Americans like to buy cheap stuff so most of it was sent overseas.

I realize almost everything is built or has parts from everywhere, I just don't like it and to me, it at least has to have an American name with the company based here.

It's just me.

Like I told you I was almost one over with you . It ended the same time I was old enough to join . I am not going to comment on any of that . Apparently the shift your talking about was caused by the " Oil Shortage " Remember that Lie ? Only one of many. I guess the question is when the money people lost their collective souls and quit believing in honesty, truth, and God. And again may I remind you that 12,000 Canadians actually fought with You ( Paul ) up to 40,000 joined the US army ect.

I know that, Australians too. And, thank you.

For "me" Jeep is the most American car no matter who owns it or where it's built. It helped win WW2 and saved many lives. I even drove one for a little while in Vietnam.

Jeep is an American automobile brand, now owned by multi-national corporation Stellantis.[3][4] Jeep is part of Chrysler, who acquired the Jeep brand, along with other assets, from its previous owner, American Motors Corporation (AMC), in 1987

The Birth Of A Legend: World War Ii Origins​

Jeep’s story began with necessity. In 1940, as war spread across Europe, the US Army needed a light, fast, and tough reconnaissance vehicle. Several companies answered the call, but Willys-Overland and Ford emerged as the main competitors. After testing, the Army chose Willys’ design, which was known as the Willys MB.

Chrysler owns Mercedes too

 

[tripdad]

Chrysler does not own Mercedes. At one time Mercedes owned Chrysler but divested in 2007.

I stand corrected but uncovered the fact that they are owned by a group called Stellantis , and much to Paul's disappointment JEEP

 

[Paul B]

I think everybody owns everything.
The company that owns Jeep, Stellantis, owns many brands.

The company CO operates in the US in Auburn Hills Michigan.

To me, Jeep is American, as I am.

Stellantis N.V. is a multinational automotive manufacturing corporation formed in 2021 through the merger of the French PSA Group and Italian-American Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), which was itself created by the merger of Italy's Fiat S.p.A. and the US-based Chrysler, completed in stages between 2009 and 2014. Stellantis is headquartered in Hoofddorp, Netherlands, while the CEO now operates from Auburn Hills, Michigan, United States.[9]

The car didn't cost that much and as I said, I would pay double if I could get one made and owned 100% in the US. I don't know why such a thing is impossible now.

How are you treated at your age when you ask to lease . Do they have any concerns ? I like planning for the future, not being nosy so you obviously don't have to answer
