This guy will tell you all about Antimatter! ;)
 
Good evening drifters. It's 82 degrees in the desert this evening and it feels good. The drift today has been superb with music, funny comments and even pictures and talk about, wait for it............GUNS. Who would have thought that a topic on guns would show up on the drift. I love the drift.

No hordes were seen in the desert today and I think it is because they were enjoying the nice weather. Even the evil hordes appreciate good weather.
 
Good morning all. The pressure of all of next week's big day's has me down. Monday is Memorial Day, Wednesday is both the first day of Hurricane Season and Global Running Day, then Friday is National Donut Day. What to do?... Buy toilet paper! Good thing I started thinking about it early. I'll figure the rest out while I scout about for hordes. Each of you have a great day!
 
Good morning members of the Drift! Hope everyone has a good day today! News story this morning says Americans aren't saving enough. Reported that older workers are only making 60% of what younger workers are making. Hard to save money when you don't have any coming in. We really need our leaders to get to work on getting our economy back in working order long term. New NRA magazine "Shooting Illustrated" sounds like it may of interest,starts May 1. Going to check it out. Drift on !

Wolf the RV is back in the shop for investigation. Do I pay or Fleetwood (TM). Onward and upward.
There is more Matter than Anti-matter, because just after the ginormous space kablooey! the A-M had a greater electrical attraction than matter and coalesced to form the original black holes which created the first galaxies.
Have you considered just how tough Chuck Norris (TM) MOTHER had to be?
With great fear and trepidation I am about to wake my wife. She has appointments for medical exams the rest of the week.

Whose biggest decision will be apples or watermelon for breakfast fruit?
 
Good morning everyone!
Pleasant 64 ° here. Thunderstorm went through early this morning but the noise and flash stayed to the north. We got a pleasant shower or two. Got fairly oppressive with humidity and some heat yesterday afternoon and evening, so you could feel it coming. Thunderstorms in the forecast through at least next Monday, so outdoors means keeping an eye to the south and west!
Skeptic, best of luck for your wife and her medical visits. Hope your RV concerns come to a good conclusion and you get on the road for pleasant travels!
Summertime, when the living should be easy! 🌈

Watermelon...definitely watermelon. I bought a good one last week, wasn't cheap, but definitely worth it. That puppy was so big I could barely lift it. That may sound impressive, but it's more an indication of my health than the size of the melon.

At the last company I worked for in Florida, we modified CAT skid steers into these. Saw videos of them in use by the State Troopers in PA. Awesome piece of equipment...could be fitted with a claw attachment that had actually been used to remove a perp from a house....after they bashed in the wall.

Good morning fellow drifters! Hoping everyone is having a good day so far! ;)
Hey it's sunny and 65 degrees here,,,,,about time we get out of this crummy weather funk! :cool:
I was up to the campsite late yesterday, it got stoned! :D Of course I had to rake it out and it rained! :rolleyes: But it's done! :cool: Need to go back and wash down the stone dust, the rain didn't do it. Another step closer of getting the Motorhome there for the holiday weekend. ;)
Geoff I hope you soon get you coach issues ironed out and get that thing on the road for a real roadtrip! ;) Mine will soon be parked up at the campground for the season and the only trip in the foreseable future might be a trip to Myrtle Beach in the fall.
Interesting operation going on in the back of my house, sees they are inspecting the high tension lines and towers by helicopter. There is actually a guy riding the runner of the chopper doing this! :eek: Wonder what for air turbulence that guy feels while riding out there? I was watching through binoculars, couldn't pay me enough to do that! :)

Have a great day out there and be safe! :cool:

Mr. Roebling was incapacitated by caisson disease during the building of the bridge. Caisson disease is the early name for decompression sickness, or as popularly known 'bends'.

Talk about a study of family sacrifice and determination. The Roebling who suffered the bends, was Washington, the son of the original designer, who had assumed the father's duties after his untimely death from a workplace accident.
His father John, while doing bridge site work, had his foot crushed, then amputated, and died of tetanus.
Washington's wife Emily, who was a self-taught bridge specialist, cared for her husband's bends symptoms and took over his duties as chief engineer, and supervised the project to completion.

A tracked armored outhouse. Perfect for deer hunting! I want one! I'd paint mine camo. :D

Thanks for the reminder about Emily. I knew that, but the neurons were not connecting well this morning? The references I looked seemed to gloss over Emily, not unheard of during that timeframe, you know barefoot and.....! 😛
Sidestep ahead !!!!! 😋
Ironically a!most all of the physicians I see now are women, by my choice!
The neurologist I see now is male and very good, see him next week. Almost clairvoyant after walking out to greet you in the waiting room and observing the patient walking ahead him to the exam room. He left the practice I was seeing him at, moved to the county hospital of my county. Actually closer and rural roads, also near the shooting range! Sometimes the path is easy to follow!
My previous neurologist was a woman, and also very good, but she moved back to NYC for ease of airline connections in caring for aging parents in Spain.

EDC comfort is often overlooked, made fun of and poo - poo'd. Sometimes people try in intimidate EDC-er's.

Loctite and guns - do they mix? This subject keeps coming up - hence another thread for those who wonder.
