    Pre Mixed 2 Cycle Fuel

    Turbulence Injuries

    I learned long ago to belt in. As far as hitting the restrooms, if you take "water pills" you many times have to do what you got to do. :D

    Our neighborhood was invaded by Geese!!

    For some reason (Bird Flu possibly) the amount of both Geese and Ducks in my area is down significantly. I have lived on a large reservoir for 22 years and had a summer camp up her before that for about 18 yeas. I noticed the difference initially at the end of this last winter, not seeing or...

    Awww, flitter.

    Back in the early 1960s something bad happened and our easy going parish priest managed to grumble out the nastiness thing I ever heard him say. "May the saints preserve us'' He then walked away shaking his head!

    Ever wonder about the weird threads on light fittings?

    I worked for years at a huge construction site in Albany NY in the 60s & 70s. (South Mall) They had reverse thread bulbs and fixtures for much of the temporary lights. They wer just long strings of wire with bulb sockets attached to them ever 10' or so! It was for the most part just a money...

    Getting Exciting

    The same equipment can do double duty. A good friend ran a lapidary business and was also a shooter. His business was named Many Facets, it was right outside of Albany NY. He sold good quality equipment and in fact sold many tumblers to people that only wanted them for gun projects! :D

    Carded

    Unfornituely your right on that there is way too much information on the move. Rather surprised as your a x cop I believe, SP is a well known abbreviation for state police. In my friends case it also could be NYSP (New York State Police)

    Really getting tired of other people's entitlement attitudes.

    In my case our garage sale was in the paper. At that time the paper had a column where you could post your sale info on it for free. Of course the hours were posted but I still got door knockers a 1 1/2 hour early. My signs put up the night before also were well marked as to hours. That...
