    An old man once told me, “Life is a sh!t sandwich. Eat it, OR STARVE!”

    Reckon I’ll just cover it up with mustard and hot sauce and get on with it….

    do I get a choice of bread? :rolleyes:

    Better make it Keto friendly.:D

    Now, where did I put that dang charger and spare battery?;)

    Corner table by the front door so that I don't have to hunt for it when the battery in the drill inevitably dies in the middle of a project.

    (Edit) Of course when that happens, the project I'm working on is usually in the BACK yard, so there's that.

    Simple enough, I store all the bits with the drill.

    I have a tool box with my drill, impact driver, drill bits, driver bits, step drills, wall anchors, a hammer, nuts, bolts, and screws just so I DON'T lose anything. About the only thing not in there is my charger and spare battery, (for the drill, no sarcastic comments needed, thank you very much).

    I'm puzzled about this "palerider" thing.

     

    If we are referencing the Clint Eastwood movie, he carried an 1858 Remington Army with spare cylinders. What does that got to do with a Schofield?

     

    And if we are not referencing the Clint Eastwood movie, what the hell are y'all talking about?

    In "Unforgiven" here was a character called The Schofield Kid. Called himself that because he carried two Schofields.

    I thought I wanted a couple for CAS, until I tried one. 

    I didn't care for the "feel" of it in my hand.

    Try before you buy.

    YMMV

    It took me all of about 10 seconds handling one to say no.

    That's a great thing to hear. But I can't help wondering if it might have also had something to do with the inability to fit in a theater seat.

    ..or on a plane.

    Some years ago I watched something that talked about him, and one of the things he hated about traveling was that he could never find a bed that he fit on.

    I thought that would be nomophonia.   :P

    I was thinking it would be nomophonafobia. But since my flip phone spends more time on my dresser than anywhere else, I don't fear losing it a bit. I'm more concerned about the cable going out.

    That is depressing. I have a picture in my mind of what a Marine corps drill instructor looks like.

     

    a-us-marine-corps-drill-instructor-yells

     

    To think that now they wear baggy camouflage with untucked shirts.

     

    Times, they are achangin'.

    No they're not. Drill Instructors ALWAYS wear a belt with their uniforms.

    Alpo instigated question:  Why is one Sgt. wearing a green belt with a brass EGA belt buckle and the other Sgt. wearing a black belt with a plain belt buckle?

     

    "NONE OF YOUR #@%&&{!! BUSINESS!!!!  DROP AND GIVE ME 20, MAGGOT!!"

     

    Angus

    No, really, why?

    The Drill Instructor with the Garrison Belt, (black belt with a plain belt buckle), is the Senior Drill Instructor.

    Few people are aware that hundreds of Haggis were used to film the Star Trek episode, "The Trouble with Tribbles."  Gene Roddenberry traveled to Scotland years prior to creating Star Trek, but later remembered seeing the wee beasties during his Scotland holiday and wanted to incorporate them, somehow, into one of the episodes he was writing, which eventually became, "The Hassle with Haggis."  Lawsuits were filed over the use of the name 'Haggis', so Roddenberry, succumbing to pressure from studio execs, changed the name to 'Tribbles', and then the title of the episode as well.  The professional animal handlers for the series were ill prepared for the behavior and habits of Haggis, especially the flouncing. Filming of the episode took longer than expected, and several members of the cast and crew were injured due to mishandling of the Haggis.  When filming was complete, the Haggis were flown back to Scotland to resume their life in the Highlands.  No Haggis were harmed during the filming of this episode. 
    Fun Fact:  The original script never stated that 'Tribbles hated Klingons and that they would emit a piercing shriek and shiver with rage'.  The Haggis themselves behaved this way towards the actors who were dressed as Klingons as the Haggis had an aversion to the makeup the actors wore.  Roddenberry chose to amend his script to allow for this behavior, rather than change the actors' makeup.

    Fun story, but it's about the biggest load of Hooey I've heard in a while.

    On the unethical side, if you need a pair of sunglasses, ask at any store customer service counter if someone turned in "your" lost sunglasses some time ago... They may have dozens to choose from.

    When  was a kid, every now and then, when I needed a watch, I'd go to the Lost and Found in the school, and see if somebody had turned in "my" watch: A Timex with a black band. They usually did.

    But the style for the past few decades of mumbling from the back of the throat,  along with dialog at 45dB and music and sound effects ai 145dB, I find most movies unintelligible. 

    Most music I hear on the radio seems to be like that, too. Sometimes I have to adjust the equaliser to the "Talk" setting to hear what they're singing about. Though a lot of the time what they're singing about isn't worth hearing. That's why I listen to a lot of  Talk Radio.

  12. A couple weeks ago I ordered a leather punch from the Walmart website. It was in Ga. They sent it by DHL. The first day tracking showed that DHL had it and it was in a distribution center. Where it sat for 9 days. After the 9 days, it started moving again and made it to Tucson in about another 4 days. 

    I contacted DHL through their website to as "Why?", but never got a response.
