    Russia and Ukraine

    In response to last Wednesday's Ukraine missile attack(with our missiles, and support) Russia retaliated about 4am Friday morning. Launches came from bombers, fighters and also battleships...don't recall seeing them used much. Over 100 Kinzahl missiles...the hypersonic ones we were told they'd...

    If the Trades,,,

    I used to watch for uncles I hadn't seen I awhile, and for coworkers that I'd wondered about 🤣

    If the Trades,,,

    Growing up, I'd watch "America's Most Wanted". They'd always say, "...may be working in construction, OR AS A ROOFER" :oops: Even when dealing with criminals, we were still a subset not worthy🤣

    Daughter Made It!

    She's more handy with the Intel collected than the means to do it...but that's the type of stuff :oops:

    Wisconsin Christian School Shooting

    Sad, but worry you may be right. I hate seeing violence against any children. Somehow it may be spun, but all kids deserve better than this.

    CNN is a Disaster...............

    Pay walled... But have you seen the one where the two "freedom fighters" are helping the newly released prisoner from the taxi? He gets out, hopping on a bandaged leg. One of the guys smacks him on the back of the head, and motions to his legs....he then starts hopping on the other... Smoke...

    NYC- assassination of United Healthcare CEO

    My statement(s) about mental health in this thread are not in any relation to this guy. I'm kind of the understanding that if someone makes no attempt to hide, or has no concept of right and wrong, that would be "crazy" or not competent to stand trial. By hiding his face, fleeing the scene and...

    Tales Of A Mercenary Mechanic

    So, back to reality today. Had the shop that does the insulation co's stuff call me and see if I could do a generator service, and replace an "ear bud looking thing". Machine is down...I told them Saturday wasn't happening, daughter grad stuff. So, Sunday it is. Well, I get there, trailer is...

    NYC- assassination of United Healthcare CEO

    I honestly think many of the facilities are more about bleeding the insurance companies and families than they are about helping those in need. There are good ones, and there are bad ones. I think it's much like elder care facilities.

    Starting to look at sxs

    This is what I was thinking as well. It's also not just where it will be used, but also how comfortable the driver would be doing so. If Mrs. Vic is an aggressive driver, or timid with offroad. That, and steering wheel dirt is different than handle bar dirt. My wife was hell on her banshee, but...

    Tales Of A Mercenary Mechanic

    Friday was a bit interesting. Had been in the Arizona outback last week and diagnosed a Polaris 700 as having no spark. I'd learned on the last one, a 500, to check the plug, and the coil wire. No fire at plug, shocked the begeezus out of myself with the wire. (Turned out I'd grabbed my "chisel"...

    Daughter Made It!

    In high school, she'd tried to get an appointment to West Point. Through here, I was able to get her in touch with some Alumni...all American, brilliant, badass types. She was not able to secure an appointment, and was saddened by it. I, on the other hand, was happy her second choice was down...

    "SORRY" I Hope They Can Forgive Me.

    Yes, but when you work with your hands all day, get home, relax...and then your hands just "aren't in the mood"...tough situation 🤣

    Daughter Made It!

    All I know is they call it a "Jeezus" major...and no theology involved. Kind of weird, the DOGE Bros. may layoff a bunch of people, and Patel may do the same. That may be oddly good timing for a young conservative to join the ranks of the alphabet agencies. She's also talked recently about...

    Daughter Made It!

    She's been given a place to live, food to eat, but everything else is on her. This is her accomplishment. She has been able to attend this school primarily due to academic scholarship, and the rest she has pretty much paid by working. The parents behind us were not local...by any stretch...

    People That Shouldn't Have CDL's

    The thing is a toterhome from hell. The layout was somewhat of a tri-level. Behind the seats and I think up a step or two was a lounge area, then down a few steps to an area that had a kitchenette and bath...then circling forward, and below frame level, where the king size bed was laid atop the...
