Curious.... what are these extra services that cost $600?

Hillary won this before it ever got started.

We are in some serious trouble.  She is such a horrible liar, and people are just suckling at the teat of the lapdog media.

I'm not a fan of Trump by any stretch of the imagination, but she is destined to be one of history's greatest monsters.

If the tire shop offers it for free, I'll take it.  I sure as heck won't pay extra for it.

I'm a Discount Tire/America's Tire customer for life, but I do know that Costco uses nitrogen and doesn't charge for it.

He gets away with these lies for the same reason that it's impossible to fire a black person for any reason and not lose the case in arbitration with the Labor Board.

The deck is stacked against me.  My company gets sued almost every time we have to let somebody go, even after being lenient for years, documenting everything, fully justifiable actions.

If the "victim" feels as if he was asked to do anything unreasonable at any time, and then fired, it's wrongful termination.

We just paid two years salary to a man who took a truck that was marked out of service and drove it to another state, got caught, blew our safety scores with the FMCSA into the range where we get inspected everywhere we go.  This, after TWO preventable at-fault accidents in one year.

Oh... and the "two years salary"... was $144,000

This slacker in the best year of his life never made $72,000 in one year.  Most he ever made with us was about $50,000 because of all the time off he constantly took.

Georgia is a "right to work" state.  Yeah, right.

/rant over

Not all black people are this way, obviously.  Our office staff is about 50/50 across the board, and none of the good folks I work with in here mind being called "black" any more than I mind being called "white".

I'm a Saltine-American!

Ramping down for the holiday weekend, my north yard has trucks parked two deep along the curb in the overflow area.



Taking advantage of the work slowdown to get some maintenance done.

Great news!

Heavenly Father, we pray now that you speed his recovery, and minimize any pain involved.  Set before him a new path, one he is best able to traverse in order to glorify You!

All praise to your Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen!

Firearms / New to me Beretta 92S
« on: May 11, 2016, 08:00:45 PM »
This was an Italian Police-issue pistol, to which I added a rose wood grip after slight modification.

After going through it's guts, I believe it may have only been fired a couple of times by it's previous owner.  Got this for under $350, had to wait a while for it to get to me though.  The mag release is at the heel of the grip instead of under the thumb, and the safety is a right-handed mechanism instead of the more modern ambidextrous.

For all of you and your families in their various situations, may God's peace find you in these troubling times.

These are excellent points, and counterpoint to the heathen Islam religion where they lie and deceive to achieve their goals.

Where they engage in taqiyya, a method of dissimulation whereby they pretend to be what they are not in order to avoid persecution or harm, OR to infiltrate Christian society and destroy it from within...

We Christians are called to glorify God in all things, even in our last dying efforts, proclaiming our faith to the end... no matter what may come.

Rev 9:6...And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

Canning & Food Storage / Re: Powdered Peanut Butter!
« on: May 03, 2016, 07:34:13 AM »
OK... here it is.

We cracked open the jar last night, and followed the instructions.

2Tbsp powder and 1 Tbsp of water (we used bottled water)

It mixed up very easily, the powder sucks up all the water and it has a very smooth texture.  It has a great peanut smell, and the taste is very good. 

It is low in sugar compared to other peanut butters, so it leaves a bit a of a strong peanut taste in the mouth instead of coating it with sugar.  Personally, I think I might even prefer this over other brands.

This product gets my seal of approval.

John chapter 5

5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

Canning & Food Storage / Powdered Peanut Butter!

I just got some of this today at Costco, it was under $6.00 for a big jar of it.  Expiration date says March 2018, but I believe if it's left sealed in it's original package, and kept in a cool dark place it will last much longer.

Just add a little water and you've got peanut butter. I never knew this existed, but it's going to be a fixture in my food storage from here on out.

Radio/Comms / North Georgia GMRS Nightly Net
« on: April 28, 2016, 10:28:11 PM »
We had a good little radio network going tonight.

For anybody who lives in North Georgia, and is reading this, and doesn't know already:

Sassafras Mountain Repeater at 8pm, all licensed users are welcome to join in.

There were about 10 of us tonight, had a good little discussion about this and that.

We had check-ins from Ellijay, Canton, Buford, Rome, Winder, Woodstock, Lawrenceville, Sugar Hill, and Porterdale.

We had very strong contacts covering a 2800 square mile area.  North Georgia GMRS has over 300 licensed users and over 1000 assigned unit numbers to include family members of the licensees.

Just putting the word out about this... most of these radiomen tend to be on the conservative side, and most are preppers.  Quite a good number of LEOs and military as well.  Good folks all around.

ATL-60 Gary Beckstedt WQFU865 has put in a huge amount of time and investment establishing a network of 24 ( :o :o :o :o  ) repeaters, most of which have solar panels and battery backups with commercial grade equipment.  I hope this summer I get to go climb some towers and do some maintenance with him and other members. 

Those of you who are interested in the hobby, licensing is cheap and covers your whole family with a single license.  Feel free to message me or post here, and I can show you where the repeaters are in your area, anywhere in the USA.

The images below represent the coverage area of a single repeater, and there are 24 in the network!

Tires, Wheels, and Suspension / Re: Big box tire shopping
« on: April 25, 2016, 07:22:56 PM »
I have been a Discount Tire/Americas Tire customer for over 20 years now.

Best service anywhere, and nationwide warranty.  What they may not have told you is: if you blow a tire due to a covered road hazard, and you're not near a DT/AT store they will reimburse you the cost of the new tire you buy at another store.  They won't cover the labor, just the tire.  But that is some darn good coverage right there.

Every time I pick up a used car or any new car, I take it to them for free rotations, balancing and flat tire repairs.  They put my name in the computer, and it's "yes sir, Mr. Anthony we'll get you right on the lift, and on your way".

They know when it's time for new tires on whatever car it is, I'm coming to them.

Another thing, the way my wife burns through 60k mile rated tires in 20k miles, I get the prorated warranty price on all new tires.

So, yeah... when my co-workers are giving me the stink eye because they hear I shell out a grand for a set of tires, I tell them it comes with peace of mind.


34
Every day, at least 1 whole bowl of cereal gets wasted.

They can't take just what they're going to eat, the bowl must be full to overflowing... rice krispies sticking to the table and all.

Sitting next to it, half a glass of unfinished milk.  And it can't be just regular milk, it has to be $4.00 per half gallon uber-vegan-organic-whatever milk.  From cows that cannot cast a shadow, or something like that.

Across the table from that, is the bag of microwave popcorn, uneaten besides for maybe a hand full.  They always say, "I was going to eat it later".

Later never comes.

35
yeah... I'll pass on that one. 

36
Just as I am expected to work so we have food on the table they are expected to do chores.

It's not the boys we've had trouble with.  It's the girls, and they are the only ones left in the house.

They're completely helpless when it comes to cleaning anything.  They act as if we're flaying off their skin, absolute torture.

"Sanitary pads" are not sanitary after they have been used, and they don't belong on the floor or left anywhere they can be seen when you walk past the bathroom.

Enough said about that.

38
How about getting them to take their own dishes off the table, rinse or scrape them off, and put them in the dishwasher...

Or better yet, just wash them by hand.

No?  Ok, how about just get them from the table to the sink?

Nope.

Take out the trash?

Nah.

"get dressed, we're leaving"

"I don't have anything to wear!"

"Check that big pile in the corner."

Don't even get me started.  Female children are filthy disgusting creatures.

Two apples, one for each eye.

wolf, what blue oval you talkin bout?

I'm a Ford guy.  I don't dig square wheel wells or government bailouts.  Not trying to DOT this thread, it's a very nice truck, but I like the camper unit even better.

I really, REALLY like the photos of the high desert scenes and the enjoyment of the individuals who are present in them.  Being out there surrounded by God's creations is as close to heaven as you can get while still walking the Earth.

I can whole-heartedly endorse Weathertech vent shades and floor mats. 

I have them on my E-350 and my Flex.  Top notch quality, perfect fit, no adhesive mess.

41
nobody expected Mt. St. Hellens to blow either

I was traveling with my family in an RV, I was eight years old.  We were camping about 120 miles away when it literally just exploded.  The shockwave hit us and my dad got on the CB radio to ask if anybody knew what was going on.  The NOAA weather radio channels started sounding an emergency alert and that was when we realized that there was this huge cloud of ash rising up into the sky behind us.

For the first few minutes, everybody in the campground thought it was a nuclear bomb going off.  Over the next few hours, the forest rangers came around and asked everybody to pack it up and move south away from the blast area.  We were getting covered in ash, and it got so thick for a while, the engine had trouble.  My dad had to clean out the air filter several times on the journey towards home.

It's one of those things you never forget.

42
Having lived most of my life between Long Beach and Silicon Valley, I can tell you that the "big one" is always just about to happen.

Whittier, North Ridge and the World Series (Lorna Prieta) earthquakes were probably the most memorable for me.

I sleep through anything below a 5.0, and don't get out of bed until it reaches 6.0

I'll put my bias toward the Blue Oval aside and compliment you on a great looking truck.  The camper is also very nice.

Further, I'll go on to make a completely separate statement about these photographs, which are OUTSTANDING.

Well played, sir.

Funny you mention Maarten, that's where my other future Dr. Daughter is right now

If she's there, she probably knows about Saba.  You can see it across the water on a clear day. 

Saba has a medical school, do tell her it's worth visiting.  If for no other reason, the beautiful scenery and the people who are extremely friendly.

45
Aruba is 30 minutes from Venezuela by boat.  Sending your kids there is purely idiotic.  Take your family there, sure... it's beautiful.  Been there a dozen or so times myself as I have family on the island.

Would I send my son or daughter there by themselves, or even with a group of their friends?  No way.

Sint Maarten?  No.  Sint Bartholomy?  No.  Sint Eustatius?  No.

Saba?  Yes.

Trying to figure out when exactly it was decided that college is for everybody.

Many of our Greatest Generation were done with school by 8th or 9th grade, went to work at a trade, and took night school classes to hone their skills.

My grandfather and father never made it past 9th grade in public school, but their knowledge would be considered an advanced degree by today's standards.
