Yul Lose

BTT

I have 3 pairs of Earthwalkers and I have a higher heel in the left boot on all of them, one leg shorter than the other. Doart Shoe Shop in Escondido has done a real good job on them. Their number is 760-743-5273.

He’s been added to my Sees candy Christmas list.

On Tuesday afternoon I bring my garbage cans down to the road to be dumped on Wednesday by the garbage company. Usually I bring them down around 5:00 when I close up the shop. Today I brought them down about an hour earlier and there were 3 kids walking down the road from where the school bus dropped them off. I’ve lived here for over 33 years and I always make it a point to wave at the cars going by and the people walking along the road. The 2 older kids usually don’t wave back or acknowledge me but the younger one always waved back and today he stopped as I was struggling to move one of the heavier green waste cans up to the road and offered to do it for me. I had already placed one can and he placed this one right where it was supposed to be. I thanked him for his help and told him my name and he told me his and we shook hands. The young man then asked me if I had anymore cans to bring down and I told him that I had 3 more (Mrs. Lose is really into yard work and gardening since she retired, so she fills them up) so he said if I’d go get them that he’d move them up to the road. So I went and got them and he placed them all in the line along the road. I thanked him again and tried to give him $5.00 and he refused the money and told me that his parents would really be mad at him if he accepted any money for helping me out. I was speechless to say the least and he preceded to tell me that he had lived his entire life down the road from us and even when he was small and riding in a child’s car seat that he remembered me waving at his mom or dads car as they went by. He reminded me of the time I had dropped the mail on the ground and as I was picking it up off the ground I took the time to wave as they drove by. Anyway he told me that he’s in 7th grade and his bus usually drops them off at the same time and if I have my cans down there on Tuesdays that he’d be glad to place them along the road for me. I asked him why and he said that he decided one day that if he could ever help me out that he was going to do it because I always waved to everybody. I thought that was pretty cool. I tried to get him to call me by my name but he told me that he was taught to call people Mam and Sir and Mrs. and Mr. Mrs. Lose got a little choked up when I told her about it. Made my day, that’s for sure. So I’m working out in my shop just a few minutes ago and I hear trash cans being rolled up my driveway. I walk out there and this young man and his older brother have brought the 5 cans back up to the house. I visited with them both a little and again they wouldn’t accept any payment. They did want to know about what I built in my shop but didn’t want to bother me and take a shop tour unless their parents gave them the okay, so I told them to get permission and next Tuesday or Wednesday they could check out the shop.

Two gun shops or two cans of TrailBoss?

The 321 area code in their contact# is in Florida. If they are indeed located in Wyoming why a Florida phone #? They take Venmo. Zelle and PayPal I’m betting it’s a scam.

I had an issue like yours and using Cemetery’s method I took it apart and found a small piece of shot in the raceway where the centerpiece travels. I cleaned it up and reassembled and lubed it and it took care of the problem.

He’s been to a number of specialists and they’ve been unable to fix it and without that part of his foot working he can’t pass the FAA physical.

My youngest son used to be a fixed wing Life Flight pilot. His foot got injured in an accident and he had to have surgery and the surgeon and the anesthesiologist ended up severing a nerve in his leg. The FAA grounded him and he hasn’t flown for 5 years now. He hopes to one day have the damage repaired but all attempts, including implanted devices have failed to return feeling to his right foot. He reached a settlement with the surgeon, hospital and others involved. So I guess in his case you can’t fly with certain foot injuries.

Beef, it’s what’s for dinner.

Used to go to a physical therapy gym and one of the patients would wear some very revealing yoga pants and tight, tight top. She was very attractive and I’ve known her family for years. She insisted that she’s “non binary” and wasn’t a woman, but she had all the right parts in all of the right places. I’d be doing my routine on the weight machines along with a couple of other guys and she would come out and do her stretches on this table right in front of us and then complain to the management that we were staring at her. There was a more secluded table behind a screen that she could have used but didn’t, she liked the drama that she created and IMNSHO enjoyed being stared at by a bunch of old men. I might be old but I ain’t blind.

Turkey!!! We don’t need no stinking turkey. 27 pound prime rib on the smoker. The turkey eating traditionalists won’t be here this year.

I have a son in law that’s 2 years, 247 days, 13 hours and 12 minutes older than me and very far left. He knows the no politics, no religion rule when he comes in but thinks he’s above it and gets his digs in anyway. My wife came out to the shop yesterday and told me that he wouldn’t be here because he’s up north tending to his sick mother, we high fived each other. It’s going to be a great Thanksgiving.

I’ll take it. PM on its way.

Not nearly as cold as yours. It will frost 4 or 5 times a winter but usually low 40’s and high 30’s at night. This house is a big cold sink, really sucks it up. The only insulation is in the ceiling.

My step dad really disliked JFK for some reason and I remember some of the comments he made back then seemed celebratory, to and 8 year old kid.

We live in an adobe house with 18” thick walls, 2-6” adobe layers with a 6” reenforced concrete core. Contrary to popular belief they are not warmer in the winter. The adobe/concrete construction sucks up the cold and holds it in. The woodstove keeps it pretty livable. We go through about 4 cords of wood a winter. We have forced air heating that uses propane and at $6.00 plus per gallon delivered it gets pretty pricey heating this house that way, we bought our own tank about 5 years ago, had it filled and still have about 70% left because we don’t use it. We live on 10 acres with lots of oaks, sycamores and eucalyptus and when needed we’ll fell a tree and salvage the firewood. One of our big oaks succumbed to boring beetle infestation about 3 years ago and the wood from that one tree pretty much took care of last years firewood needs.

You know Christmas is coming when the Christmas tree woodstove fan shows up.

I’ve finished the first of 3 books in the series and really enjoyed it. Young Win Tyler has been banished to Yellowstone National Park because a corruption case that he was working went the wrong way so they sent him there. He finds lots of action and gun play. Lots of characters developed and the description of the buildings, animals, geography and other aspects of Yellowstone Park are very interesting. I’m in the middle of the second book A Sacred Duty and it’s a real page turner with Russian spies thrown in and an in depth explanation of the volcanic activity perking below the park and in all likelihood erupting in the not to distant future. I’ve got the 3rd book, A Just Cause in the library. Don’t know how accurate some of her FBI terminology and operations are but there’s quite a bit of it. Some really good reading material, in my opinion.

Just finished serving on a jury in a DUI case and after the body camera footage from the arresting officers camera was shown I was pretty sure there wasn’t going to be a guilty verdict. It was very offensive and hard to watch and I looked at everyone that I could see in the courtroom including the judge and they couldn’t watch either. The lady juror next to me had tears running down her cheeks. The way the guy treated this woman was incredibly bad, I heard one officer in the background ask if he was going to keep making her do “stupid human tricks”. Anyway I ended up being the jury foreman (I’ll never be on a jury again that’s for sure) and it ended in a hung jury and a mistrial. There was overwhelming medical and biological evidence that she was driving while impaired and intoxicated but because of the way the officer treated her a guilty verdict wasn’t going to happen. I asked the four holdouts if there was anyway they’d be convinced to change their vote to guilty and they all said “No” that the lady had been put through enough. I’m pretty sure this guy was one of the few police officers that treat women that way. We had a laptop in the jury room and the video was played multiple times and it wasn’t any easier to watch any time it was played. My wife said I should write a letter to the police chief and tell him my thoughts on the officers behavior and a sheriffs deputy friend of mine said that he was probably aware of it already.

I was in third grade, Minatare, Nebraska and it was lunchtime and we were playing football on the playground before we went back to afternoon class. A tearful teacher came out and herded us all back into the cafeteria where the announcement was made that he’d been shot. We were sent home then and found out he had died when we got home. We were glued to the tv for a number of days after that. Lee Harvey Oswald getting shot on live tv by Jack Ruby is something that I’ll never forget.

Don’t want to further hijack Rogers thread so if you guys will PM me your email addresses I’ll send some out.

You listed your phone number in your original post that’s how they got to you. I reported it to the moderators but the scammer was faster than I was. NEVER EVER POST A PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL ADDRESS ON A PUBLIC FORUM LIKE THIS!!! Posting your real name on your posts isn’t that good of an idea either.

That’s great news, Roger. Check out your email in a little while for pictures of the 38-40 Pedersoli Lightning that I just finished building.
