At around 1 hr. 32 min. the guy making his car shoot out fire and sounding like gun shots. Do you know how he can do that and couldn’t it catch a car on fire?
Yep! And from chewing tar from the road and sucking on rocks, and eating dirt. :-)
It’s basically an engine that is misfiring... there are 4 cycles to a combustion engine and this vehicle is off in its timing, so fuel is being ignited in the wrong sequence or step. Instead of igniting in the compression to combustion phase it is igniting in the exhaust phase. Basically, unburned fuel is being discharged into the exhaust and igniting. POW POW POW POW Normally the explosion would occur inside the piston cylinder and would become trapped thereby generating the greatest amount of force or energy for the amount of fuel consumed and would then be transferred into power for the vehicle.

Yes, we did. Sunisa Lee led the rest of the gymnastics team in defeating them over the weekend and our b’ball team beat them today. I have celebrated at the school. Pictures later.
Happy Anniversary, dear Spunky!
I know you miss your wonderful hubby so very much and your memories are so precious.

Wonderful pictures, Spunky. Thanks for sharing them and your fond memories. (((hugs)))
Blah. I have my yearly doctor appointment today at 9. Trust me. He is NOT my favorite person. He has a major attitude problem. Can’t wait to get it over.
Oh, good luck with that. I am sorry you and the doc do not get along. That makes things very difficult.
Years ago I went to his office. I had to walk up three flights of stairs. Shortly after he took by blood pressure and said it was a little high. He wanted to put me on bp pills. I told him come back in a few minutes and take it again. He did and it was fine.
Good morning lysie.
Thanks for those bacon and egg beauties. Glad I got here before *someone* sees that bacon ;-)
Hope all goes well at the doc appt.
As far as the app't , I may give him my views. (in a relatively nice way)
Have to go. BBL
:-)
Hopefully, you wait to give him your views until after he’s finished with your exam and appointment!
Good morning, lysie!
Thanks for the delish breakfast sandwich.
Is there are reason you can’t change doctors?
You need a doctor you like and trust.
Companies unexpectedly cut 301,000 jobs in January as omicron slams labor market, ADP says
WED, FEB 2 2022 8:15 AM ESTUPDATED 5 MIN AGO Jeff Cox

Private payrolls fell by 301,000 for January vs. the estimate for a 200,000 gain, according to payrolls processing firm ADP.
This was the first reported net job less since December 2020 and came as surging omicron cases hit hiring.
The pandemic-sensitive leisure and hospitality industry was the hardest hit, losing 154,000 jobs.
Companies cut jobs in January for the first time in more than a year as the omicron spread appeared to hit hiring, payroll processing firm ADP reported Wednesday.
Private payrolls fell by 301,000 for the month, well below the Dow Jones estimate for growth of 200,000 and a marked plunge from the downwardly revised 776,000 gain in December. It was the first time ADP reported negative job growth since December 2020.
The pandemic-sensitive leisure and hospitality industry was responsible for more than half the decline, as companies reported a drop of 154,000. Trade, transportation and utilities cut 62,000 while the other services category declined by 23,000.
Manufacturing also lost 21,000 positions, while education and health services reported a drawdown of 15,000 and construction fell by 10,000.
Service-providing industries were responsible for 274,000 of the job losses, with goods producers falling by 27,000.
“The labor market recovery took a step back at the start of 2022 due to the effect of the omicron variant and its significant, though likely temporary, impact to job growth,” ADP chief economist Nela Richardson said.
The ADP numbers come two days before the more closely watched nonfarm payrolls count from the Labor Department. Wall Street expects that report to show a gain of just 150,000 jobs, though economists and White House officials are warning the month’s numbers could be rough due to omicron and statistical effects from the way the Labor Department compiles the report.
While ADP’s report could signal a weak number Friday, the two counts can differ substantially. In December alone, ADP’s total — initially put at 807,000 before the revision — was well above the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ count of 211,000 for private payrolls and 199,000 for the total nonfarm number.
From a business size standpoint, the job losses were concentrated at small firms, with companies employing less than 50 people seeing a drop of 144,000. Businesses with more than 500 employees lost 98,000, while medium-sized firms declined by 59,000.
Federal Reserve officials are watching the jobs numbers closely. Policymakers have said they think the U.S. economy is around full employment, and they have teed up a series of interest rate increases this year.

(Just ignore the $hot mandates writing on the wall.)
Exactly. Blame Omicron, not the mandates.
