Coffee Induced Early Morning Rant / Honest assessment
« on: November 15, 2015, 09:02:57 AM »
I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that it will happen here.  We've got a porous border and OTMs have been flooding across it. We've already had lone wolf attacks. We have a Muslim sympathizer in chief and a PC government.  After 9/11 you'd have thought we'd get serious but we just let it fade from our memories and wait for the next twin tower incident to wake us back up instead of being vigilant.

Weapons training is good, don't get me wrong, the first thing that has to be trained is the mind. Situational awareness at all times, not just when you're feeling tactical is step one. Then you must know what to do even if you do not have a weapon. The last step is deploying a weapon in a bad situation and being prepared to deal with the consequences, both emotionally and physically. ( and financially, in some cases)

It boggles the mind why Hillary let her "good friend" ambassador Stevens die a horrible death. Was it all to be able to support the narrative that UBL was dead and Al Quaeda was on the run? So that the election made BHO look good?  If so I hope they both burn in hell.

Hard day. Mowed and then cleared all the trails and downed trees. Picked bush beans from the garden and mulched with hay. Burned up a bunch of downed limbs and am now setting by the fire with my silent partner. Old No 7.

Muslims fought over the bloodline successor to Mohammed.  Sunni vs Shia. They will kill each other with regularity until one is gone.

Remember we've been fighting Islam since our nation was founded. Barbary pirates and Thomas Jefferson. We were ruthless back then and they have laid in wait until we softened up and became politically correct.  Only sheer force and brutality will change the course of things today. Alas I'm afraid we haven't the will.

Coffee Induced Early Morning Rant / Re: chiropractor and Medicare
« on: November 13, 2015, 10:48:53 PM »
Bob. I'd find another chiropractor.  I'll write more when I get back to a keyboard. I've spent 28 years involved in the delivery of healthcare and the finance of it.

First. Laws of macro economics are immutable. Price fixing, which is what Medicare is, only serves to drive up costs and limit access to care.  The government dictates the reimbursement, which on average is only 86% of the cost of delivering care. When physicians get only 86% of the cost to deliver care they increase what they charge commercial insurance customers.   The cost of private insurance is 30% higher than it should be because it has to cover the shortfall of Medicare and Medicaid.

If your chiro gave you a discount for cash as a Medicare patient they were gaming you. .

Where there is a will, there is a way.  Good for you. Keep going and keep us posted.

I just remember the butt pucker when I got in it to flash it for the first time just hoping the dash didn't light up like a christmas tree and end with a no start condition....

Which ones are "those" Ken?  All 4 of the Mercedes I've owned I could pressure bleed. And I've don't a ton of the BMWs for a friend of mine.  Of course all the GM stuff works too.

Which ones are the land mines I need to look out for?

Working for a Fortune 20 company and directing funds, I can tell you that 76% is the bare minimum.  If at least 76% does not go to the end beneficiary, we don't participate, period.

Most that I get involved with personally are 80+ and some 90+%

Did you see the report today about the Honor Killing in Texas?  About the same.  If the girl does something you don't agree with, just kill her.

So, I find myself interested in this truck

Out looking a bit, none near me though

There is a low cost Tradesman selling for $43K but has no options

So I'm wondering on the wisdom of getting a stripper vs a more optioned truck. Options normally means useless bling which I don't like, but also gets me 9 speakers which is necessary to push sound into my heavily scarred eardrums. Also nicer truck has butt warmers, and manly as I indeed am, I like girly man butt warmers. I think better trim gets power seats as well, but I could live w/o that for sure. I also like carpet, but the rubber floor matt is def man cave pretty!

Opinions??

Wuss.

manual windows, stick shift, no a/c

Thank you for posting this Don.  I've been involved in numerous veteran support groups over the years and WWP has been very aggressive towards smaller more efficient organizations.

I can personally vouch for Ride 2 Recovery and Folds of Honor.  Much higher percentage of revenue going to the cause

I picked up more than 3mpg deleting the dually.  That's more statistically significant than a vehichle that gets 20-30mpg.  I went from 9.2 to 12.4 towing a 15K 5er
