  1. You mean that Johnson didn't have a cellphone camera, a selfie stick and six camera planes in a WWII dogfight? What a rip!
  2. If you need me to go check on your unit, let me know...I'd be happy to do it. The surge, in some places, went well past Bayshore. I have no doubt that the elevator pits/equipment were submerged in salt water. I don't remember where the electrical service equipment (main breakers/meters) are located but if they are on the 1st floor, they got it also. If the main service gear went under salt water, it should be replaced. I'm glad you are on the 3rd floor, at least you didn't get flooded and wind damage is doubtful as the winds only got to about 45 - 50 sustained for about an hour and all from the south/southwest. Let me know.
  3. How did you make out? I know your place in Dunedin is right on the intercoastal which saw 6' - 8' surge. Hopefully you didn't sustain any damage.
  4. He's already got his ($900,000++ yr salary)...what does he care. Just another greedy narcissist.
  5. Ex NASCAR driver, Greg Biffle, has been flying his own helicopter in and out of the disaster zone, looking for stranded survivors and delivering food/medicine/water/supplies all on his own dime. He has already helped rescue several people. He is also delivering StarLink systems to various locations. A big Hurray to the normal, everyday civilians that are doing everything they can to help out...while the Feds sit on their thumbs wondering what to do.
  6. Pizza - Extra cheese, pepperoni, Italian sausage and anchovies. I'll eat most any pizza and pick the items I don't like off of it, but pineapple permeates the taste of the pizza and there's no way to "pick it off" and not still taste it. Burgers - Burger, cheese, bacon and Thousand Island dressing. Nastiest (supposed) food - beets...no matter how they're made. The way to make most any food better...add bacon.
  7. I do, it's somewhat collectable now. Is a can of Billy Beer worth anything? A can of Billy Beer is worth something, but the value is highly dependent on the condition of the can and its availability in relation to other collectible items. A Billy Beer can in “mint condition” can fetch anywhere from $50. 00 to over $150. 00 depending on the uniqueness and rarity. Billy Beer cans from the late 1970’s and early 1980’s were made with mostly flat tops instead of the modern pop-top style and are therefore more sought after by collectors. Generally, the older and more rare the can is, the more it is worth to a collector. Is Billy Beer collectible? Billy Beer is not typically considered collectible by collectors. It was first brewed by Falls City Brewing back in 1977 and was only brewed from 1977 to 1978. There were only some limited runs of the beer and it was only widely distributed in the United States. After the initial limited run, Billy Beer was only produced for a short amount of time in the early 1980s and again in the late 1990s. Since then, it is only sporadically produced for limited amounts of time. Because it is not consistently produced and has not been around for an extended period of time, it is not widely collected. Additionally, it has a low value on the collectible market and is not a particularly valuable item. Therefore, while some people may have a few cans of Billy Beer in their home, it is not typically a collectible item. What beer cans are valuable? Some beer cans are unique enough that they can be extremely valuable. Some of the most sought-after cans are rare and hard to come by, and people are willing to pay a high price to get them. Cans from limited edition runs and brewery-sponsored promotions can be worth more if they offer something unique or special about their design. For example, cans featuring art work by well-known artists, limited colors, intricate colors, or out of print cans can often fetch a higher price. Cans from small breweries, foreign countries, and older breweries can also be sought after by collectors. Some of the most valuable cans show up on auction sites and can fetch tens of thousands of dollars. What is a can of unopened Billy Beer worth? The value of an unopened can of Billy Beer depends on the can’s condition, rarity and the location of the seller. Generally speaking, an unopened can of Billy Beer (first produced in 1977) can be worth anywhere in the range of $5-$50. Based on evaluations from seasoned beer can collectors, an unopened can of Billy Beer with the complete original packaging can be worth up to $200 or more. However, since the beer was produced in large quantities, most cans are not considered to be particularly rare. x Pause Unmute Current Time 0:42 / Duration 1:09 Fullscreen Now Playing x Play Video Corona Extra Beer Review at Spebam.com Share Watch on Corona Extra Beer Review at Spebam.com Additionally, the excitement over collecting items associated with Billy Carter (the brother of former U. S. President Jimmy Carter) has waned since the beer’s initial production run. Ultimately, what an unopened can of Billy Beer is worth really depends on the value placed on it by the collector or seller.
  8. Good bye, good riddance Houston! The gods are banging their garbage cans in celebration!
  9. I foresee a magazine jam in your future.
  10. I couldn't find a new bolt action, tube fed rifle on the internet although I didn't look too hard. If you're in the market for a rifle like that, look at the Mossberg 46M with the flip over peep sight. I used to have one and it had a very smooth action, high capacity and was an absolute tack driver at 25 - 50 yds. Still kicking myself for selling it to a guy at the range who offered me three times what I paid for it. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
  11. The joke running around back then was "A woman gave birth to an 8lb baby boy today while in a gas line. She wasn't pregnant when she got in line."
  12. The union east coast minimum base price is $39 per hour with the west coast workers earning considerably more. They want 77% raises over 6 years and a complete ban on automation. They've been offered 50% raises over 6 years, triple contributions to their pension, better benefits (whatever that means) and the automation wording/rules to remain in place...they turned it down. No matter what happens, the normal, everyday American consumer pays for it one way or another. I say screw these greedy people...they don't mind screwing the rest of us and I'm fed up with it.
  13. I couldn't root for either team. I'd rather Detroit won because of the Houston cheating scandal but Hinch was knee deep in the same scandal.
  14. Depending upon what's being served for dinner...I volunteer to bring this job back!
  15. There ought to be a way to put multiple 'likes' on a post.
  16. Also the only US President to actively physically work on a "Hot" nuclear reactor. Happy Birthday President Carter. https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2023/0221/Profile-in-courage-When-Jimmy-Carter-helped-save-a-nuclear-reactor#:~:text=On Dec. 12, 1952, two human errors in quick succession
  17. If I said what I thought about their strike and unions in general, I'd be banned for life. I hope their jobs are ALL taken by automation!
  18. RIP Charlie Hustle Thanks for all of the outstanding plays on offense and defense.
  19. No one can legally ship powder or primers without the proper HAZ-MAT license and special contract with UPS or FedEx.
  20. The way that kids are today, that's only a weeks supply of 'medicine' for one teacher.
  21. Primer prices have doubled++ ever since the beginning of the plague. The days of $160 per 5,000 primers are over, never to be seen again....however, primers are widely available in small pistol/rifle, large pistol, small/large magnum and even some large rifle. Pay the price or don't reload seems to be the only option at present. The problem is powder availability and will continue to get worse over time due to the Chinese (and others) not selling needed components to the US and Allies. Popular powders by all manufactures are non-existent now, especially Alliant and IMR powders. Bottom line is, bite the bullet and buy what you need now while you still can.
