    Business CEO's and business practices in general

    More like what is still left on the existing menu! For years before this first started we went to the CB about 0nce a month. (Now about once in 3 months, that could/will get longer) Got to know the waitresses and it was a good experience. Then as time went by it sort of looked like they took...

    Given a holster!

    Was just given what I was told was a black WW2 era holster for the PO8 Luger. Holster has seen use but still quite serviceable! Has tool and spare magazine! Only markings I could find were PO8 and it looks like the initials JKH 42 next to a Nazi eagle, WITH a smaller swastika below that...

    Business CEO's and business practices in general

    As a simple high school educated long time stock market player I do note some things. One of the biggies is the Golden Parachute that the big shots get. Lets make it something like they get a sliding pay scale, the company does horrible do to the stupid decisions done you get less...

    My Truck Driving Days are Done

    I have also seen plenty, after I retired from my pipefitters union I drove CDL delivering building supplies. The auto trans trucks were starting to get popular and it coincided with many drivers not having English as a first language. :mad: I was going to keep my CDL after I...

    Windows 11

    First off- I'm a 80YO Luddite/curmudgeon and my cats know more about computers than I do. Second off- as a good guess I probably only utilize about 1% of what my computer can do. Other than being a word processor & looking up info on line , that includes stocks info and being on a few...

    Warning! Gas stoves are hazardous to your health

    If a new law gets by the courts we will not have to worry much about this. Starting a few years the state does not want to allow gas or oil heat/ hot water or dryers to be used in new construction. They in their infinite knowledge want to only have total electric house/apartments. :mad: If I...

    DO NOT ASK sign

    A popular variation up here is a sign stating YOU ARE NOW IN RANGE! A friend has one and he notes the amount of A type turn arounds showing up in his rather sandy driveway at that point! :cool:

    Mini Rant - Drive right, pass left!!

    Been caught like that a few times. My solution as I normally have a big engine vehicle is to floor it, whip to the right pass them and get in the traffic lane. Little hint, go faster on the ramp than the traffic is on the main road and its much easier to get into the line. Many times I see...

    "Weatherguessers" and graphics

    I have thought for many years the more/fancier toys the weather people get the worse the forecasts will be. Another of my views is that the weather reporters are under some constraints from management to give the best possible forecast that they can. (Just short of downright lying!) If they...

    Mini Rant - Drive right, pass left!!

    I have talked with a few of those lane kings and most of them give you a variation of the speed limit is 65. I'm doing that speed and there is no reason to go faster! FWIW most of those people in a snow storm will go much slower than necessary and many will have on their 4 way lights. Nothing...

    You guys are not doing your part

    Maybe not for the drunk, but the people watching might have different ideas about that. :D Full discloser, when younger drinking age was 18, me as a big older looking person had no problem getting served at 16. By the time I was 20 was well on my way to being a serious drunk. Tapered off...

    Does anyone else still use a Speed Wrench Driver?

    Over the course of time (Muscle car era of the late 60) -70s) I modified a bunch of wrenches for some of those impossible to reach places. Did not like to waste a good quality tool so I hit the Globmaster cheap tools for my donor wrench. For the amount of times a special-duty wrench was needed...

    Delivery methods!

    A few years ago my wife got one of those. It was a handgun coming back from a manufacture after repair. It clearly stated "Adult Signature Required''! She was quite POed and called the company and got this BS reason, because of Covid it limited exposure . The company said this was...

    Delivery methods!

    No clue to what is going on with the delivery services, but funny mushrooms might be ingested by drivers. My wife ordered some items through Amazon. She got conformation that for some reason she would get 3 deliveries. That proved out to be correct. I was riding my ATV to go down to the...

    Too many GrabAGun emails

    This rapid delivery of spam is getting much more popular (not with the receivers) with the senders and as I believe the IPs themselves) I tend to get 2-3 of the same Email with sending times of only a couple minuets apart or every hour or so. I fervently believe this is encourage/helped by my...

    New question when entering the country

    Doctors used to prescribe a Tylenol with codeine, If I remember correctly it was called a Tylenol 3! When I got attacked by Shingles those little pills were the only way I could get to sleep! (y)
