  1. It's not just late night here, it's 24 hours a day no matter what channel you're watching. Morgan and Morgan dominate with their BS slogan 'For the People". Bull. it's for their own pockets. Can't stand them.
  2. What brand, type and where?
  3. It appears that Hessian Joe and Jesse Evans are legit members. Hessian Joe just shot his first match in Idaho and Jesse Evans has many posts on the Wire and Classifieds. Joe has evidently purchased and sold items in the Classifieds dating back to 2023. I seriously doubt that IMSA22CJ is an actual SASS alias nor a member, but it doesn't mean they are a scammer either. I've sold plenty of items to non-SASS members and all of the transactions went smoothly. I wouldn't rule out selling to a non-SASS member but I would be wary and a lot more inquisitive of them for a purchase from them. Some folks don't like sending personal checks as they fear that their account info may be compromised. Everyone is different. Nothing says that you HAVE to purchase an item or sell an item if the situation raises doubts or doesn't feel right.
  4. A crash like Rossi had today would have been fatal just a few years ago. The SAFER walls, helmet, neck restraint and car interior improvements have saved many drivers from serious, if not fatal, injuries. Racing isn't for sissies. One of the worst crashes I've ever seen on tv was Gordon Smiley's crash during qualifying in 1982. Smiley would have probably survived the crash had the improvements of today been in place then. The crash broke every bone in his body and killed him instantly.
  5. I did a check on here for him. He's been on here since 2022 and has 194 posts. I don't see any info listed such as location, SASS # or affiliated clubs. How did you come about buying a belt and holster from him if he didn't post it in the Classifieds?
  6. Remember, someone made a fortune selling "pet" rocks and sea "monkeys". I'll pass on the KFC jelly beans. Even if they did taste like the purported items, the KFC secret died when the Colonel did and hasn't been the same since.
  7. Papa Bear for sure!
  8. As a long time tax payer all I can say to this is....Really? No ****, I never would have guessed.
  9. When I was married, I wore my wedding ring on my left ring finger until I came close to denuding my finger while dismounting a Ditch Witch and catching the ring on a machine part. Never wore jewelry after that regardless of whether I was at work or not. Wasn't a good idea anyway, being an electrician.
  10. If I remember correctly, Concorde never paid for itself as the cost to develop and build it was far greater than it ever took in. British Airways gave up on it and Air France did the same shortly after the famous crash in France. Once again, the taxpayer got the short end of the stick.
  11. I'll watch it tomorrow. My gal has the baseball game on right now.
  12. The drivers are practicing right now (FS1) for the Indy 500. The fastest average 4 lap speed is over 232 mph. Some of them are entering Turn 1 at over 240 mph on the 2.5 mile track where the only banking on the track is in the turns at 9 degrees. A lot more cohunes that I have, they're crazy!
  13. My condolences to you Forty on the loss of Trinket. Been there, done that 24 years ago now....and not a day goes by that I don't think about my Alex in one way or another. We'll see each other again.
  14. Companies like this play the odds, just like any insurance company does. What are the chances that the ownership of your house will be compromised? Probably pretty low if I had to guess. Same thing with getting your identity stolen or getting into a self-defense shooting. What are the odds? Any so-called insurance is only good as long as the company is still in business to pay your claim and your "policy" is paid up. Pay the vig for 10 years, company goes out of business or gets sold to a larger company with stipulations that weren't part of the original plan, make a claim, get screwed. Yeah, kind of a long term scam.
  15. It'd be interesting to hear the rest of the story once fully revealed.
  16. Good on ya Slim. Can she do my pads after she's done with hers?
  17. I had a 2000 Ford Explorer Sport that I bought in 1999, had it for almost 27 years up until a few months ago. I did my own oil changes for years without having to jack the vehicle up to access the pan and filter. For some reason, the Explorer seemed to get lower and lower every year until I was forced to jack it every time I wanted to do an oil change. I go to my mechanic now, you're right, I don't miss it at all.
  18. Done that several times, worked every time. I was always worried that it wouldn't though. These days, I take my truck to my mechanic, supply the oil/filter and he changes it for $15 cash. He also disposes of the used oil properly. I always hate it when a 15 minute job, that is usually easy, takes all day.
  19. That's not what it says. Pets can smoke in the building just as long as they wear shoes.
  20. That's a pre-Star Trek Scottie.
  21. I immediately exited the site. Just tried it again and got no alert or warning.
  22. Just to let you know, as soon as I clicked on the link...Norton blocked it with a warning.
  23. While I agree with portions of your statement, I don't agree with all of it. The printing on the shirt is designed to look as though it is well worn. If you look, the lettering is printed in the same style as the flag. The flag on the shirt is not displayed as an entire flag, if it was, it would be considered illegal under the US Flag code. By the way, only certain individuals are legally permitted to display the flag as part of their uniform. In other words, many uniforms worn by workers that display a small flag patch are illegal. Second, Josie Wales wasn't always a Confederate. Josie Wales grew up in the United States of America. Josie Wales was a Confederate for only four years but was still an American during those four years. Third, Josie Wales was a fictional character in a movie based upon a book of fiction. Fourth, I have stopped at businesses that were displaying a torn up, shredded or disrespectful US flag on numerous occasions to point out that the flag needed to be removed, properly destoyed and replaced with a new flag or taken down entirely if they couldn't respect the flag as a living being. Fifth, I really don't care if you like the shirt or not. I do and will continue to wear the shirt proudly knowing that I am not insulting the flag in any manner.
  24. Notice how the question's answer is 420. Coincidence, maybe...but the person who thought this "new math" is a good idea smoked way too much of that stuff.
  25. Other than auto racing, I rarely watch network tv. Even then, I try to avoid anything on Peacock as the coverage sucks. Glad most of NASCAR and the Indy 500 is on Fox although they're not much better.
