I have decided on a new response to questions I either can't answer, or otherwise don't wish to. Henceforth it shall be: "What Geddy Lee said!" ...that is all...

Still wondering why you have to put "rebar" into concrete.

Ever pound/hammer out a set of outside stairs, or a shower platform?

Still wondering why you have to put "rebar" into concrete.

Concrete is excellent under compression, but it has no lateral strength. Rebar helps that.

I don't know why everybody's so concerned about the economy faltering over the holiday season. I for one plan to spend several times what I spent last year!

I hate TPMS (tire pressure sensors)
I check my tire pressure often, another sensor has gone bad,
now I have to pony up more money to replace it.

If you're diligent about checking tire pressure, you can safely ignore a bad sensor warning.

My aim is always spot-on. Not bragging.

Remember the recruiting commercial- Aim high, Air Force?

Yep! Fighter didn't appreciate being peed on, so they got rid of that commercial.

Agreed. If you know the tire is fine I'd just ignore the light until it's time for a new tire.
Black electrical tape will hide the light if it bothers you.

I just watched a live performance of Haydn's 44th Symphony and noticed that one of the French horn players looks like David Letterman!

Yep, in lovely Taxachusetts where I live, as well as a bunch of other States, there is no actual requirement that it has to be working. Yet. Course, I wouldn't be surprised in years to come if it does become a requirement for it to function, like in Rhode Island, West Virginia, Vermont, and Hawaii....

Pre, when he was still on the air. It would have been funnier if the guy had the big beard too!

I hate TPMS, too - my '06 4Runner has it, and it started acting up - showing low tire when they all were fine. I had to take it to a shop to clear the light...
So, I disabled the damn thing. No more problems...

Then there's "RFT" which might also be mandated in the future, bringing with it more cost, and some are concerned running with these kinds of tires, as both ride comfort and gas mileage are affected. Then, putting no spares in some of the newer vehicles...and the tire-mess becomes more entangled.
