At some point I don't know how the Big 3 Compete. What do they say the starting cost for every car is based on historical union benefits? I doubt Toyota (Domestic SC?) or Mercedes (Alabama) has those costs. IMO Obama should have never bailed out Chrysler/GM while sticking it to the bond holders. Dealers are gouging because of simple supply and demand. I'd propose they need to make $ somewhere and if you can't get volume of new cars you need price or service $'s. Used cars are costly also. I remember when the Caterpillar York PA Union thought they could get 2-3x as much as local labor. That plant is no more or isn't what it was. While nobody seems to want to work, I bet there are people that would love Ford compensation.

Very long time ago after College, 3 of us went and got a job at an auto assembly plant in the Midwest. I was the only one who hung on. Tough work, good pay for a factory job. If I worked too fast, the Foreman told me to slow down. I can recall being told to go back into the stacks where the parts were kept and have a nap. I mentioned to someone that I was thinking of going to grad school and I was laid off at 89 days, just before I'd have been a Union member. Never did get my initiation fee back, and I could have used the money. Another Union job, years along, I was actually physically threatened for working fast, entirely to stay sane, BTW. I told them to send only folks they didn't care about. That worked for the short time I was there after. Haven't got a lot of use for Unions, though I understand there was a time when they were needed.

They can ask all the money they want. I'm still buying Toyota as it's a much better vehicle.

I’m I out of touch or does a 36% raise and a 20% less work hours (4 day work week) sound crazy?

From their FB page If you are going to get incredibly intoxicated at the bar and then drive home, we have a suggestion for you: On your way home when you inevitably stop at that Mcdonald's for some McNuggets, a McDouble and a McFlurry, make sure the Mcdonalds is actually open. All of the lights being off and no one around would be a clue. Then, when you sit in the drive thru at the closed Mcdonalds for 15 minutes honking your horn and cussing because no one is taking your order, make sure there isn't a police cruiser parked 20 feet away watching you fail miserably. After your failed attempt at getting food from the closed restaurant, do not squeal your tires out of the parking lot, over a curb and out onto the roadway. That is how you end up at the jail and the jail does not have any McFlurries. #McFailed

I would not waste any money until you have it in your hot little hands and have tried it out. Fix what needs fixin not what MIGHT need fixin.

A) 10 second Procedural for "Shooting targets in the wrong order." SHB p.21 "Appropriate type" targets were HIT with each shot fired.

Call your CC company and have them cancel the charge. We had to do it recently and it was an easy procedure. With PayPal of all places! I typed in an incorrect email and PayPal said it wasn't fraudulent,so wouldn't credit it and cancel the payment, even though I told them it was my error! A quick call to the CC company and all fixed.

This figures are serval years so I’m not sure how accurate they are to day. The American union auto worker gets paid twice as much as the Japanese autoworker and produces half as many autos as the Japanese worker.

I was raised on Legos as were all my kids. I’m disappointed that they’ve shifted to selling kits with specialized parts and instructions. Part of the Legos’ draw was using rectilinear blocks and imagination to create stuff.

What’s the worst thing you did as a kid that got you into the most trouble with your parents? I’ll start. We were living in Minatare, Nebraska and I was 12 years old, and it was right around the 4th of July in 1966. We lived next door to a family that had 4-5 blond headed daughters and I was doing everything that I could think of to gain their attention. Right across the fence from our back yard was their backyard and a clothes line. Not many families had clothes driers in the house so they hung their wash on the line to dry. I tossed a lit Black Cat firecracker over the fence and it went off in one of the bed sheets or pillow cases and started on fire. The laundry was obviously pretty dry because it didn’t take long for all of the sheets and pillow cases and nearly everything else on the clothesline to catch on fire. I was frozen in place and my older sister jumped into action with a garden hose and finally got the fire put out with the help of some of those blond girls. Needless to say when mom got home from work I got my ass beat and then got it again when dad got home. I ended up not getting my 50 cent a week allowance for a couple of years to help pay for the laundry that I destroyed. Those girls didn’t talk to me much after that.

My wife brought this baseball cap home from an agriculture meeting that she attended. I guess the chemical is named True. I had my local embroidery shop gal customize it. When I picked it up she said I was going to start a fad with that cap. The added word is partially hidden to coincide with Saloon rules.

One of three known to exist. 1937 Cadillac 12-passenger Limo-Bus Big Model 75 built for Yosemite National Park. This is a 1937 Cadillac Model 75 Bender-bodied limo with a 156 inch wheelbase and a L-head V8 346ci engine, producing 135hp. Yellowstone, Glacier, and Yosemite operated 12 passenger buses that were "Airport Limos" or "Stretches". Yellowstone and Glacier used White buses with the Bender body and Yosemite used Cadillacs.

Just walked the stages/bays at the new location... Bays are beautiful and stages 11 and 12 are truly unique in design and layout.......... So it's Friday and the day started great cause I'm on the right side of the grass. Shot stages 7 thru 12...Were as much fun as they looked in the book. Had a miss, but you know them lying cheating spotters. DUH. Actually if you wanna see the stages they were posted on the Eldirado Cowboys web site..LOOKINGVFOWARD TO TOMORROW'S STAGES..... Windy City

This works better Regards Gateway Kid

Well not only did I lose out on allowance money I had aspirations to become a gynecologist specializing in blond cheerleaders but I’m pretty sure that the trauma inflicted on me by those blond neighbor girls having nothing to do with me affected my future earnings potential.

The biggest part of CFO's & CEO's pay are stock options. 100% of Elon Musk's compensation is stock & stock options. That is why in the year he bought Twitter (X) he paid the largest tax bill to the IRS in history. If the UAW members want a greater percentage of company profits instead of increases on hourly wages they should ask for larger profit sharing bonuses or better yet stock options that mature in 5 years? As it is typical unions don't want any skin in the game other than a paycheck.

19 games back and STILL have a tiny mathematical chance of getting a wildcard spot!

You should not use it. I'll be happy to take that non standard stuff off your hands.

I use the nickle plated in Handgun ONLY. Starline is the only thing I use in rifles

Newsome has indicated his appointment will be a :"caretaker" appointment, so not one of the 3 apparent contenders for the office. He does not want to be seen taking sides in the next election... OK. But mainly writing to report my impression of a news report on NPR today. Yes, I do monitor what it presents. Of particular note was a story about how Feinstein stood up for herself and her beliefs. She was challenged about her firearms knowledge on the Senate floor. Besides her rhetoric as the the assassinations which catapulted her into office as the SF mayor, she stated she had firearms training and strongly implied he had a firearm. This was due to her home being shot at! Well, I do find such a shooting deplorable (and the perpetrators worthy of prosecution) but I also find deplorable that she felt apparently some (special?) need (right?) for her self defense but clearly did not champion the same right for the general population. May she rest in peace, and may her view of the rights of the rest of us do the same. And may Newsome actually listen to that same NPR report and note the same thing I did. Certain policy choices are not open for discussion. Feinstein was not special, Newsome is not special, his appointee is not special, the next elected senator is not special. None of their needs is special. They are our needs too. May they all pass of natural causes at a ripe age just like DF, but may they also pass humbly as a representatives of all the people.

We reload them till they split, they do seem alot more prone to splitting so case checking is important.

Dang Yul...sounds like you didn't start getting your allowance again until you were well into your 40's.

I have an original 1887 made in 1895. I believe it has been redone but redone well. $1895 OBO

The nickel plating process make the brass more prone to split. Works great in your gun belt as they won't corrode like brass will in contact with leather.

My local Sportsmans Warehouse has primers, except for large rifle. They were limiting purchases to 2 boxes but now you can buy 10 (full brick). CCI boxes of 100 for $5.99, Fiochi boxes of 150 for $8.99. About 6 cents per primer. I think that’s about where the price will settle, if it ever does. Sam Sackett

@Cypress Sun me and my two brothers caught a field on fire playing with matches with some neighborhood kids. We were at “the tree house” in this field. We had a roll of toilet paper and we lit the end and I was unrolling it trying to keep the fire going without it touching the ground. All of a sudden there were a bunch of little fires all around us. The toilet paper ash was getting blown away as the TP burned. Sparks caught the field on fire. We all took off for home. A short time later the firemen arrived and put out the fire. Shortly after that the Fire Chief was at our house questioning us. We were in the front yard playing with our toy trucks and cars. My Mom came outside and lit into that Fire Chief because “My boys are good boys. They have been out here playing the whole time. You get in out of here…go talk to those “Smiths” (not real names) down the street. Those kids are a menace!” (Our friends. They did bring the matches though) The Chief left and that was that. I was 7. My brothers were 5&6. We did not stop playing with fire. We just got smarter about it. We always had a bucket of water around after that.

Nothing wrong there that a paint job, a 2 inch chop and raising the attitude by lowering the altitude a little bit couldn't fix. Maybe a big block crate motor and more modern drive train, too.

Saw a guy get a DUI in the Krystal drive thru late one night. Krystal's drive thru has always been slow and it only gets slower on 3rd shift. Well, he ordered his SteamerPack (that's 24 Krystal burgers), 2 large fries and 2 Dr Pepper, drove forward, kicked it into Park- and passed out before the car ahead of him moved. The local LEO's had to wake him up (still belted in behind the wheel with the car idling) when they arrived. Also saw a drunk pull into the drive thru at a Burger King backwards. She drove up to the window after coming in the exit, reached across the car, rolled the passenger side window down and tried to order. The off duty cop pulling security showed up about that time and things got interesting for a while. After a brief car chase- down the wrong side of the main drag on a Friday night- the cops got her pulled over. She blew a 1.8- in a state where .8 is the legal limit.

Quantity has a quality of it's own.

We have drivers that drive on the left side of the road here in the US also. We call them drunk drivers.

I was listening to a radio financial adviser this morning. He stated the Car Dealer’s biggest revenue was from extended warranties, repair shop and loans. The least amount was from the profit from new car sales.

And that's what you get for thinking

I'm with you. I have zero kind words for a person who has done so much damage to America.

About 40 years too late, good riddance.

I liked him in Crossfire Trail. I have taken one of his lines from the movie and made it my own. ”Well see, If you take your time, you get a more harmonious outcome.”

The only "thing", that I've seen that differed East from West, was the "Shoot in Order" thing. More clubs east of the Mississippi seem to follow the convention that one shoots in the order you're listed on the scoresheet... whereas out west, more freedom is allowed and one shoots when there's an opening at the loading table or when you feel like shooting. Not a rule per se... but more like a some places seem to stifle freedom. (No, I'm not a fan of having to shoot in any particular order).
