Pat Riot

People live longer now than in 1957. I would stop complaining about fat people. One day a fat person might save your life.

I cannot figure out this gun she’s wearing. Anybody?

I found this photo. I have no idea where to get one of these. I just thought it was cool.

It must be Monday… Where is this?

Reality Tough, huh?

Hmmm…Great minds…

A coworker of mine was wearing a suit on a work related flight from Los Angeles to Sacramento. He had this tie clip that looked like a Colt 1858 revolver. He got treated like he was a big threat with that little tie clip. He was interrogated long enough to miss his flight. He had to wait 2 or 3 hours for another flight. The tie clip was a gift from his kids. The TSA brain-trust took it. I found another one at Knott’s Berry Farm and bought it for him so his kids wouldn’t know it was taken from him. Knott’s Berry Farm is an amusement park that used to be based on an Old West theme.

A friend of mine coming back from Mexican had his van inspected at the Mexican checkpoint in Tijuana. He went to Mexico to buy leather products to sell at a swap meet. A Mexican police officer told him to open the rear of the van and lo and behold there was one .22 LR cartridge. They unloaded his van and stripped it. Seats, panels, everything. They found nothing else. He was given a $100 fine, I believe and told to go home and don’t come back. He was told if they had found more ammo he would have gone to jail for a long time. He had to put his van all back together by himself and someone lifted his tool box. He never went to Mexico again. Me, I would have never gone to begin with. Too many horror stories about Mexico. EXIT: Also, I never use range bags or backpacks for travel. That is just asking for trouble.

I find it humorous that the company selling that latch on Amazon is called “Vintage Technologies”.

That’s a shame.

Thank you! Thank you very much.

I saw a metal tool box that someone made into a portable grill somewhere online recently. I am going to have to go looking for it.

I had a woman I worked with convinced that she could buy a trunk monkey from the Suburban Auto Group. I convinced her to call them. She did. She was not as amused as the lady that answered the phone was. I got a lot of dirty looks for a few days. Probably because every time she glared at me I burst into laughter. She was and maybe still is a brunette.

@Trigger Mike I found the 3 mag pouch bag for less money on Amazon. https://a.co/d/200Z8Lb

There are 2 different pouches. One with 3 pockets and one with 6. Here is the 3 pocket one: https://www.wiskurtactical.com/prod/GLTRBOOD.html Here is the 6 pocket one: https://www.wiskurtactical.com/prod/GLMP30BAG.html This is the one that there is only 1 left.

Quoting myself here. I sent Wiskur Tactical an email @Trigger Mike Here is the body of that email and their response is above my questions:

Don’t you mean “V-ger”? That is truly amazing. 15B miles. That’s 600,000 trips around Earth at the surface.

Time to buy a daily 3 lotto ticket…

Exactly! I was pretty much going to say the same thing. If I am making something that normally would take an hour but I halved it at 40-45 minutes I would check the temp. Nearly every time it is done in 3/4 of the normal recipe time at the very same temperature. ADDING: I want to try lasagna in my smoker. Pizza in a smoker is fantastic.

I have owned 3 different safes that had the fingerprint option. Not one of them worked with my thumb or finger print. I tried everything recommended in the manuals. They just wouldn’t work for me. They worked okay for my wife, just not me. Fortunately they also had combination locks on them that worked just fine. I no longer have two of those safes. I kept one that also utilized RFID (that doesn’t work) a key and a combination lock. Electronics that detect fingerprints are fickle. If you get it to work with your finger when dry and at a nominal room temp the sensor may not work if your hand is wet and cold, wet and hot, dry and really hot or cold. I had an iPhone that opened with a finger print. It was only reliable if my hands were dry and warm. Unless technology has advanced that dramatically in the last 5 years I would not bet my life on a bio lock. Period. Even if it has advanced I wouldn’t.
