Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

My Doctor said that since I'm old and fat that I MUST have sleep apnea. I resisted. My wife is a CNA, and has worked the Night Shift for 30+ years. She's familiar with it, and she'd never noticed any indication of it. They finally convinced me to get tested, and the results showed that, of course, I have BOTH kinds of it. For those who might not know, there are types: obstructive sleep apnoea (when throat muscles block the airway) and central sleep apnoea (when the brain fails to send proper breathing signals). My Doctor, (a different one than the first) said that my results for central sleep apnea are the worst she's ever seen. So I guess that I'll try the mask for a while, but if I don't see something borderline amazing in the results, I'll quit it. I don't feel tired, I rarely take naps, I don't fall asleep watching T.V. or ANY of the common indicators of it. The ONLY thing I'm looking for is to see if I can lose some weight with it. And I'm doubtful of THAT because I've been putting on weight since I was in my early 30s. But we'll see.

I saw it when it was first on display. That thing is HUGE. It's shorter than a C-130, but taller and a wider wingspan.

That was the original reference, but it has morphed into meaning something on the order of somebody who sticks with revolvers and 1911s as opposed to Glocks or micro 9s and the like. Same with those who use a bolt or lever action rifle instead of an AR platform rifle.

Or they get into a gunfight with somebody, kill 'em, and just ride away leaving guns, saddle and everything. One thing that always impressed my in "The Outlaw Josey Wales" was when they were getting ready for the fight toward the end of the movie, it was obvious that they had collected up all the Comancheros' guns and gear and had it all ready to go.

A work buddy would constantly asking me if I had a knife. And every time I'd give him the "Are you an idiot" look because he KNEW that I always had three on me. A few weeks ago while I was checking out at Fry's grocery store, one of their people was trying to get a stuck coin out of a changer. He looked at one of the gals there and asked if she had a knife. Of course she didn't, and I could just SEE that they had NO idea where to get one. I pulled my lock blade out of my back pocket, flipped it open, reversed it and held it out to him. Yup. the "Wide eyed stare". But he used it to get the coin out.

Well they say that the memory is the second thing to go...

Don't forget a folding pocket knife. People today simply don't carry one. Then when they ask if anybody has one, you get the wide eyed look of surprise.

I can barely get my foot high enough to put on my pants!

I've still got my original "Star Trek Technical Manual".

Around here that's like being an Electrical Engineer!

Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for the day, TEACH a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

My Dad was not a particularly handy guy. He could, and did, replace the occasional light switch. When my ex-sister took over the house after Mom died, (Dad died years before), she reported that almost every switch in the house showed "NO" and "FFO" on them.

One of my gym shirts:

I like Breitbart too.

Glad I could help. I got those when I was building a deck that would sit on existing pavers that weren't particularly level.

Mark Twain was supposed to have said, "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're misinformed." Even if he didn't say it, it's true, now, more than ever.

Hey Forty, I can't help with the adhesive, but a couple years ago I built a small deck out back that's supported by these: https://www.amazon.com/Muzata-Adjustable-Pedestal-Flooring-Unilateral/dp/B0CNGT5Z27/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2QMEVDZVH6SU0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kf4a7ZfZ9wYDmQXh-uYE45TrNXiGGtuHSk64pnZ2EK3CXOqRcpjPh9hM_DCM61QiYkiwzTJwNOOEPjq8UgREBmq2wm_aR00916Rq5ji4Wv6KQNuOWiTQ5oCjp1yuhalqGhQWQ4kDrC_dHge9RIxmFFLZ5XxW5wmDPHSrT--jbiC5E9Xl5kWxu48lJipBtx9C2Ri3XVk9xQq5UwWaP2VBAAAPOLWTA_WP1wTw5J-qeL5FWB6vfiB9mR0ZNz9ynmozxUkQkG0E4v6lLt8_3_vbzQkbezXZcFwEttwgYmDb3G0.qGkdy_HPYl191YxQwkcaMgLl4jyc2hF5jDmo0j-qSFQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=Adjustable%2BDeck%2BSupport%2BPedestal%2B4X4&qid=1786579594&s=industrial&sprefix=adjustable%2Bdeck%2Bsupport%2Bpedestal%2B4x4%2Cindustrial%2C199&sr=1-2&xpid=3w_77oNgu3-mV&th=1 They could help with the leg leveling.

For the original MacGyver, he actually helped develop the show and got it on the Air. I'm pretty sure that the Network just paid him so that they could make the reboot.

Sometimes the answers are even MORE entertaining than the questions.

Give Alpo a break guys. This is the closest he has to a social life. He NEEDS us.

What do they want, a dented rim and a bulged rim?

Tell them you don't have apps, you have a flip phone.

Not to mention that it's not very British anymore.
