You do not like having people bother you, do not set up a garage sale at a certain time to start. You put down 8AM and they will start ringing your bell at 6.30. Looking to get their first and hopefully getting a bargain. They do tend to get a bit agitated if you do not open up early and let...

(y) I agree. Yes its a bit dated now but still very good reading. I have read all in the Jack Ryan series but tried many times to get into the other books that used his name and gave up.

At 80 I know very little about Crypto and am not going to waste my time attempting to learn more. I will not utilize it unless I absolutely have no other options. Been playing/working the market for over 40 years and yes I'm no Warren Buffett but am doing OK for a retired pipefitter.

Iggy always enjoyed reading your work on here! My best thoughts are with you!

I have a feeling this coming power bill will be very interesting, AKA very high. Due to the amount of rain and humidity my dehumidifier in the basement has been running none stop. Go to keep the humidity low to keep my S&Ws and other guns comfortable. :D Then with the very high temperatures...

When I had my Vettes I would only use none E gas. For my Toyota 4X4 and Jeep Wrangler I will use the 10% dishwater. I always get none E gas for my tools and toys. and gas I keep for storage (with stabilizer added of course). Up here in the boonies on land you will pay at least 75 cents more...

Your humanizing a inanimate object. You want something go get it, I would be more concerned with condition not its possible use. Now if it came with serious provenance that it was owned by a certain real bad person, that is another category. Your conscience will have to be your guide!

Well speaking for me its just more control that others have over you is not a comfortable feeling. Hacking could also come into play. There are people, groups and countries out there that could would do that. Remember the hospital computer systems that were held for serious ransom by these...

You had to know something/s were going to happen. At the very minimum a response, the question is just how strong. You got to consider this more of a game of Chess.

I get some paper every few months from the power company. It always says I use much more power than my neighbors. Well DUH 95% of my neighbors use their property as a camp not a year around house. Of course I use much more electric than they do. Shoe size IQ at the power company I guess...

Thanks, that is a different read on this subject. One of the biggies I do not like is the potential for them to limit power or set up different prices for difeenrt times. That might be helpful or best bet NOT. I do have a standby generator and that might give me a little more semblance...

The power company has been saying for a while now that we are to get a "New Upgraded power meter. " Got a robo call about a hour ago saying they would be here in a maximum of a week. OK-fine. I'm realy not impressed with this new meter concept as from what I have seen it opens us to much...

I have had a couple wonderful experiences with TSA. One involved a copy of Guns And Ammo magazine I had that subjected me to a more thorough fun time. Customs have not been a problem except one time when I was bringing back a couple Rum Cakes from Tortuga, a rather young agent said I was...

Well thats all the snake was doing taking a little stroll slither!

As usual another outstanding Faulkner posting! (y) I took my MC test years ago in Albany NY. They had a interesting way of doing things. One of those was unless you lived in the testing area you were not allowed by law to drive there with the class vechicle being tested! There were signs...

Definitely get the 2 shingles shots. I had shingles before the shots came out, nasty does not even begin to tell you what it felt like. Even if your insurance does not pay get them. Its money well spent!:cool:

He was Clancy, before Clancy came out. Of course he had a British slant to much of his work. Without a doubt one of my favorite writers! RIP F.F.

Just today in the local newspaper they commented that for some reason our little part of the world has a high amount of those ugly Tesla sort of trucks. Its getting to the point when driving on the interstate I see at least one most days. Lets face it their hard to miss! :eek: To...

Well stated OP. You hit the nail on the head in a couple categories. Trying to talk with a actual living entity is getting harder and harder. That holds true to many outfits out there not just the OPs. You always get the talking machine that is programed to not allow you there by throwing all...

He will be missed, RIP!
