We used to use a hand crank megger. Good for fishing worms and zapping other things also.

About once every 20 years I buy a can of Spam just to see if I still dislike it. It's been about 20 years now but my gal bought some 6 or 7 years ago...yep, it's still disgusting but I wouldn't starve before eating it. It's beets that I'd starve before eating them.

Or "You ain't gonna believe this s***"...

No doubt that Boeing is a success story as are the other companies listed, although we'll just pretend the AMF/Harley days were an aberration. Look at the list below of statistics on model of aircraft and fatal events. Suit yourself on the Boeing decision but I'll take the French plane if at all possible and never a 737 Max anything. Plane crash rates by model (airsafe.com)

Maybe because of Boeing's corporate attitude toward new aircraft training and crashes directly attributed to Boeing. I don't know of too many other aircraft manufactures whose aircraft consistently have computer software flaws that has flown their customers into the sea/ground or had parts of the aircraft flying off causing explosive decompression and various other incidents. BTW, have you taken a look at their space endeavors? I wish the astronauts on the Boeing spacecraft the best of luck on Saturday....but I don't care what they're paying...I wouldn't want to be on the top of it. Most of the times when you're flying, your of airplane manufactures are about 50/50 between Airbus or Boeing. Some airlines are Boeing heavy, others are Airbus heavy. Choose your airline wisely.

One better, not a photo though. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c133x22kzrpo

Didn't Al Bundy use to read a magazine called Embiggen?

Bacon or sausage...or both! Or, going to Great Grandma's on Thanksgiving...the aroma stays with you forever....

I saw it on a visit to Yosemite in the early '70's. It was weird to see a "rainbow" at night but a pretty cool sight to see. I saw a "moonbow" again in the late '80's in Kentucky at Cumberland Falls, not as big though.

Fun fact - Almost every one of the actors portraying the Black Widows biker gang was in at least one other Clint Eastwood movie other than the "Every Which Way" series.

Couldn't be Kamala. The actions depicted on the sign require skill and talent.

Yeah, bad timing for reloading stuff, but I know that a lot of folks use Red Dot. I don't use it, don't even have any, nor am I going to purchase any. Alliant has stated that they are canceling and/or restricting all sales of canister powders. Maybe BS, maybe not...I don't know. Thought folks would like they're possible last chance, for a while, at this particular powder. Everyone has their favorite powder(s)...the one(s) they've NEVER had a problem with. I do...it isn't Red Dot though.

At least Bruce Dern got a hat in the movie Nebraska.

Even a pirate know that burglar needs two ARRR's.

Red Dot available right now at Natchez in one lb containers. Kind of pricey but this may be the last opportunity to get them for the foreseeable future. Link below. https://www.natchezss.com/reloading/powder?brand=Alliant Powder

I used to see them every once in a while. I've tried them (owned by others) and they never worked well regardless of the terrain. Especially ineffective on almost all surfaces including smooth, sandy surfaces. They are also known as pecan pickers in the South. No way I'd spend $10 on one, let alone $30 - $40.

Neither, I absolutely detest being solicited regardless of what company it's from.

An 8 hour day for a pound of powder...who'd have thought it. Glad you guys finally got some powder and primers, it's a shame that yer getting the big end of the shaft though.

Hilarious movie. Saw it in the theater when it first came out. Favorite quote: "It's on the bumper man, back there."

Picture of actual vehicle.

Good! That guy was a complete ass and should have been fired years ago.

I had to do some electrical work at a nudist resort's clubhouse. I'll tell you one thing, the scenery sure as hell wasn't what I envisioned and was far, very far, from stimulating. Trust me on that!

Most EPIRBs I've seen can be activated manually or automatically by prolonged water contact such as your boat sinking. Many lives have been saved by these devices due to the USCG locating them quickly. It only takes going "off shore" about 4 or 5 miles on a regular type boat before land is no longer visible. There are a multitude of factors that can affect your estimate of location - tide, currents, wave height while enroute and other factors. Many fishermen will drift with a seaweed line if they are having some luck. Other will troll over a promising bottom. In either case, you lose track of your position and can be miles away from where you thought you were. These days, GPS and other electronic devices make it easy to know where you are, that's how people find their personal "honey hole". Most fishermen are very protective of the "honey hole" coordinates. Before GPS, finding the spot was much harder. Using a compass, timed travel, forward speed, dead reckoning and line of sight (if applicable) was an acquired skill but still had some luck involved. Being 20 or 30 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico (or any large body of water) can get real dangerous, real quick, especially before GPS and all of the fancy electronics. Weather conditions in the Gulf can change very quickly if someone isn't paying attention to the signs in the sky and winds. Before all of the coastal growth (ambient light source), if your compass malfunctioned or stopped working correctly at night and you had a problem...you were in serious trouble...still can be in certain circumstances. I got to the point that I didn't like being out of sight with land, especially at night. Because of that, I rarely go offshore with anyone...more like never these days. I catch my fish at the local seafood store that buys direct from the fishermen, it's a HELLEVA lot cheaper too.

Yep, one seemingly innocuous gesture or action is all it takes to bring back a memory...sometimes a good one, sometimes not so much. Happens to me with music/songs more than anything else.

When I was a pre-teen, I helped out at a roadside "turkey shoot". It was located just off US 19 in Clearwater (were Countryside Mall is now) and easily visible from the road so there was a lot of drive up participation. One guy in a newer pickup pulled up, saw what we were doing and decided to join in the fun. He went back to his truck, opened the door and reached into the rear window rack (yes people used to carry them like that back then) to grab his pump shotgun and BLAM! Blew a hole in the side of his pickup. He was lucky that there wasn't a person or vehicle on the other side of his truck. I never forgot about that.
