Healthcare in this country has gone to hell since the government decided they could help us out. Still better than elsewhere tho’. I have no complaints, my wait time, in my area, is less than ...

Re: Whats your job?
Lots of fascinating jobs here and a buttload of real, honest hands on people. Great group. I’m 21 years in the US Army, followed by another 19 working for a state. Started a computer forensics company in my “spare time” during the later years and sold it 10 years later. Been retired, ran for state o...

Re: The liar's bench
How’s to an old “war story” to wake things up? Years back I did a protective service mission for theUS Sec Def, Cap Weinberger it was. He and the wife tucked in for the night and we told the hotel no calls, route them to me. They cut the lines! Come morning, we couldn’t give him a wake up call, no p...

Really, salty? I have no idea who any of them are nor do I care. I assume from the adulation they must sing or something but they don’t apparently make whiskey. They ain’t political that I know of, so I doubt they can influence world affairs or my paycheck.

Good for him and I would throw in some cash for some legal fees. I bet if you would check with 10 craft distilleries, 9 of them started in some ones basement or garage, illegally. Missouri sidestepped the Federal law an made it legal to home distill. May be other states will follow. As will I. West...

My first car was a 66 VW. Took it hunting one year and didn’t know the ford had washed out. That’s when I proved a VW will float. After the shock wore off, i opened the door and sunk it. Farmer towed me out a couple days later.

Re: Knee replacement
Knee surgery in one week. They're just going to shave down cartilage where it's torn so it doesn't rub. In the short term, it's fixed, but the loss of cartilage makes it more likely to need a knee replacement in a decade or so. You’re gonna be fine. We all wish you the best and thats a lotta wishin’.
