    Life's Simple Pleasures

    Hot days of Summer on a Sunday morning dressed in sloppy shirt, shorts and floppy sandals or slippers. Open the slider around 6am to get the morning breeze through the house while I cook eggs, bacon/sausage, English Muffin and coffee. Then going to the outside table and eating while watching...

    Sgt. Mike Viet Nam Humor

    I was a chaser a Camp Pendleton and took an in-transit prisoner to the Brig. His final destination was United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB), colloquially known as Leavenworth, to start a sentence of 20 to life. He did something like that, told me his story but there was absolutely no...

    Pod coffee machines

    Seems like descaling sets off the self destruct timer, at least on the 3 Keurig's I have had. About the 2 year mark I am forced to do something, like descaling, because the 8oz pour dispenses about 4.5 -5 oz. I just think of them as a coffee maker that you lease for 2 years then turn it in and...

    .22 CM repair who to send it to

    Dave, No need to open for further discussion, and you might know this, but here in California, anything going to the manufacturer (or others) for repairs need to go through an FFL - both going and coming.

    Closing out an Estate

    Finding an attorney that is experienced, honest and you can deal (ie communicate) with is a key accomplishment. They can make things go smoothly. It might be too late to help but there is a resource called Nolo Press. They publishes dozens of book on various parts of the law. Some of the...

    I Miss My Tree

    I would agree with your coworker. One of my fondest memories was of late spring nights and smelling the orange blossoms. Was even more memorable if you had your girlfriend with you. From Anaheim to South County, that smell was all around you. Now, there may be an Orange Tree in a museum...

    War hath been declared in my garage

    My DIL never quite got that concept through her head; she used them more as a club than as zapper. I would go though 4-5 each summer but, since this will be the first summer without her, I'll have to see how I do with only 1 zapper this year.

    R.I.P. Bob Newhart

    To me, one of the best show finale was the ending of the Bob Newhart Show. It was all a dream and it was brilliant.

    Terrorizing Kids

    A grand tradition that needs to continue. Many of my friends that were transplanted from the mountains, having experienced a Snipe Hunt, had to be convinced that a Grunion Run was a real thing. Seems they were traumatized, didn't trust this local activity, and avoided any night time animal...

    "Big Pharma" ads- I just can't take it anymore....

    I never followed the Big Pharma ads, sounded like a sales pitch for a new whatever issue that I didn't really need. My opinion was reinforced by the campaign they mounted against the science showing that most ulcers were caused by bacteria, not stress. Big Pharma stood to lose $millions...

    Questions about Workman's Compensation

    Like Grayman80 said, it make a huge difference if your medical condition was the result of working, or could be reasonably connected with working. This one of the bene's of a W/C attorney - they could make a connection that you would know nothing about. This is not the time to consult with...

    This One Leaves Me Speechless!

    I too try and avoid animals while driving. However, one little bunny got back at me, big time. I was driving a RV late at night on a pretty desolate part of the road, when I spotted the sweet, innocent, little bunny in the road. I swerved to miss it but, as luck would have it, I either hit it...

    Tips for removing polyurethane from checkered grips?

    I prefer 4-0 brass wool vs steel wool. The fine steel seems break off and find its way into small, out of the way places, then it rusts; it's the rust that really bothers me.
