Nobody's saying that engineers aren't important, it's just that they don't tend to look at the Big Picture. They look at a way to make something, but like Blackwater said, " they ignore the need for maintenance and repair!" There is a Chevy engine, for example, that has the starter mounted under the intake manifold in the valley between the valves. One has to nearly disassemble the top half of the engine to replace what in earlier versions was a 30 minute job that anybody could do lying in the dirt pretty much with a Crescent Wrench.

I was thinking of THIS one: https://unusualplaces.org/carhenge-nebraska/

Kris, I'm pleased that you made it the way that you did. Back about the same era, I really wanted to be on the Columbus Ohio Fire Dept. However, starting in about 1972, the forerunners of the DEI crowd decided that there weren't enough "other" people in Civil Service, and I'm going to sat it, "other" meant Not White Men. They sued, and of course got their way. The decision came down that until the "proper quotas" were met, for every hundred Police and Firefighters hired, they had to take the top 50 white guys, top 40 black guys, and top 10 'other". Now even the few black cops and firefighters that were already on their respective departments thought that this was so much Bravo Sierra. They thought, (correctly in my opinion) that they had made it without any special consideration, that anybody that wanted to do so should be qualified the same way they were. As part of all that, they had to start hiring woman for Patrol Officers and Firefighters. Of course, the women would NOT have to meet the same physical standards as men. They gave the first tests, and not enough women passed, so they reduced the standards again until enough women passed. When they finally got the women on Patrol duty, of the six, two of them wrecked their Cruisers in the first week. I said The He!! with it and enlisted in The Marine Corps.

If "there" is on instagram, I haven't.

So what's your point? I've been a Dirty Old Man since I was about 14.

Probably. Think about it: These things are designed in China, then translated from Chinese to English by people who don't speak or read English. I have a number of T-shirts from Temu, and I'm frankly surprised that it doesn't happen more. On this T-shirt, notice the smaller lettering. One side says "health", but the other side says "fiess". My guess is that it's supposed to say "fitness". (No, that's NOT me).

Well, that was my first thought too.

If my rememberer is right, the team was getting close, and the Reynossas daughter who was the new cartel leader was coming after him and everybody he knew. He had to tell them to protect both him and them. Besides, even Gibb's Rules have exceptions.

Gibbs built several boats in his basement. There was always the question of how he got them out. Towards the end of his involvement with NCIS, after he left for Alaska and SOMEHOW survived his boat exploding with him in it, the team goes down into his basement and finds that he got the boat out by removing a wall. I speculate that he made that wall removable years ago and never told anybody. He basically removed the bricks, then replaced them when the boat was out. I would also speculate that the Bad Guys, from bugging him, knew that he spent a lot of time in that basement, and that chances of him searching the boat were slim. Plus, they might have heard him, (off camera) mentioning the removable wall, so the put the bomb in the boat so that they could get him when he did so.

That could be its own forum. SASS Forums > SASS Wire Saloon > The Strange Things Alpo Thinks Of

we can only hope.

I think of optis the same way I think of Glocks: They're great. I don't like them.

You need to either dirty up the new panel, or hose the rest of the door off and apply a coat of the polyurethane to it to make it look newer. Otherwise, it looks great.

Kris, I think that at heart, most of us here are male chauvinist pigs. You need to accept that, and get back up on the pedestal where we place you and all the ladies in our lives.

More like his infamy precedes him.

Alpo, is that you and Worthless?

I'm just following Cypress' lead.

I just keep a .38 by each door.

Cypress, quit doggin' Alpo. At least give him a biscuit break.

I'm thinking about it. My knees are shot. the left more than the right. Last time I was at the Doc, she gave me a steroid shot in the left. Felt great for about a week, then wore off. I know a gal at the gym who had stem cell done and it fixed her's completely.

And it would be a good shipping box, (even though you never ship anybody anything).

Alpo, because of you I have to say something I rarely need to, I was wrong. I had completely forgotten about Gibbs being transferred to Pendelton. We watched that episode today, so that clears up what I had thought was a massive continuity error. I'm not wrong often, (I know it sounds like I'm blowing my own horn here, but I try to get things right), but when I am, I make it a point to admit it and thank whoever showed me that I was, so Thank You.

No. He had the house in D.C. that he still lived in when he was at N.C.I.S. He took years before he was able to sleep in his marital bed again. They showed flashbacks of his daughter helping him in the basement. His daughter and her best friend buried a Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox in the backyard with some keepsakes in it. Duckie originally bought that house for him and his mother. He showed Gibbs the house before his mother arrived from England. Duckie's mother hated the house, so Gibbs got the house, though I don't remember if he bought the house from Duckie or what, but he had the house before he married Shannon.
