I remember seeing Farmers Almanac at my Great Grandparents house. They were farmers in Plant City with a decent piece of land that they farmed various crops, depending upon the time of the year. My Grandfather continued the farming way with a crop in his yard even though he worked as a chemist at Grace Phosphate, now Mosaic. He always had copy of it also. I would peruse it's pages every time I went over there. Another piece of old Americana quietly goes away. Some call it progress. I don't. Sad day for a land that will only be remembered in lore.

As much as I would love to see the Iowa class battleships roaming the oceans again, it would be damn near impossible to do regardless of how much money the government had available. Building submarines would be a much better choice imo.

Yeah, chump change for him. Inflation doesn't affect people like Brady, underinflation does....slightly.

Seems to me that he isn't all that savvy with "pumping" his investments. Look up Tom Brady and FTX. He got ripped to the tune of about 30 million.

Do you carry a firearm for protection? How about smoke detectors in your house? If so, have you ever needed either one of them? Up to you, but I'd ground it if it were me.

Very nice. I kind of doubt the lightning is very prevalent in Arizona but proper grounding of the pole is very important to protect your property. Consult a licensed electrical contractor if you're unsure of the grounding of the pole. Just a heads up.

Glad yours worked out good. A few slingers when breaking it in isn't uncommon. I had one, worked great, sold it....but wish I hadn't. I just didn't like the takedown procedure and the proprietary magazines. A 20 round magazine is available, kind dorky looking but it is available. I can vouch for GunClips.Com. I've ordered from them several times with great results. I never ordered Hi-Point type magazines so I can't vouch for the manufacture of the hi-cap mags listed. Hi-Point Magazines

Jenny's # is 867-5309.

People have been killed and maimed by dogs with high AKC pedigrees also. My best friend I ever had was a cross between a black lab/Doberman that came from the SPCA of Pinellas County, Florida. He was the smartest, most loyal and the most friendly dog I've ever owned or seen. There wasn't a mean bone in his 80+ pound body, unless someone tried attacking myself or my ex. He was my best friend for almost 14 years and the ONLY dog I would ever even consider cloning,

I thought about it all day after reading the story this morning. I came to the same conclusion as Blackwater.

Bolo shot. Don't even think about bringing it to Florida.

And isn't the Carl Buddig of old....sadly.

There were a few "ifs and buts" during the seven game course. The ones for Toronto that stick out in my head are.... - The stuck ball as Hardpan mentioned. - Bonehead moves by both Bichette and Springer. Both of came after late strike calls by the ump and they were caught advancing to second erroneously. Just plain dumb moves caused by habit and not paying attention. - At least twice during the game seven, Vlad just stood by idly by, not even attempting to pay attention to the first pitch thrown. Inexcusable in any game, let alone the World Series. - Barger getting caught WAY off 2nd base for a great, heads up, double play. Not paying attention and lackadaisical base running on Barger's part. There were other instances such as lack of hustle when hitting the ball. Seemed like Gimenez and Barger (except for getting caught off base) were the only ones that gave it their all every time. Oh well, congrats to the Dodgers. They hung in there and came out on top. Go Rays in 2026

I believe it.

I don't know why but when I read the original post, I immediately thought of Joe Dirt.

My old friend Jerry (now deceased) flew the P-47. He said that it was heavily armored, would take a beating and still get you back to base. He told me that near the end of the war, the few planes the Germans did get off the ground were flown by inexperienced pilot (he called them kids) and that they always tried to dive down to the deck to get away from you. He said the Jug would dive better than any German plane and the Germans would be so busy trying to evade you in the dive that half the time they just flew into the ground. He hated flying bomber protection because it was mostly boring. He also hated steel mat runways. Not because of taking off on them but landing on them. He had to land gear up on one occasion, left him with a big scar on his forehead and a shoulder that pained him when it got cold. He was able to shoot down 3 German fighters in flight and others on the ground plus the ones that flew into the ground. He said that they mainly flew around looking for targets of opportunity. Trains, troop columns, parked planes, trucks/cars and anything that could be of use to the enemy or was the enemy. He had nightmares until the day he died about strafing the troops, horses and trucks. He said that you could see body parts of men and animals flying and it stuck with him for the rest of his life even though it didn't really bother him at the time, at least that what he claimed. He didn't like the P-51 mostly because it was liquid cooled and when damaged you either crashed or bailed over mostly enemy territory. I miss ole Jerry. His war stories about flying the Jug were very interesting but the stories of being there after the war were good, but sometimes horrifying with all of the multitudes of vagabond and aimless homeless people trying to start a new life with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Not until I see the bubbles stop....then I feel better.

I don't know, I guess they don't like to play fair.

My sentiments exactly.

Wait until she cleans up your reloading bench. You know, condensing all those bottles of powder into one.

Idiotic isn't the word for it. I can think of others. Nicholson should have been hanged.

I don't move anything without telling her. Isn't worth the 2 days of ********, I mean complaining.

Surprised the primers didn't back out and lock the pistol up, that's what happens when I've tried it out of a revolver.

Post hole diggers. Tossing the brass/primers anyhow.
