Every now and then I hear something that makes me smile. A former customer that I never really cared for hired a technician to fix things. Soon as he got the keys he stole the truck.
Trying to find a book called Adapt or Die by JD Merritt. Only 500 were published. Author was one of the most amazing people I have ever met. He was a POW in Japan.
Just saw a TV blurb on Sleppy Joe saying we need to ban “assault “ weapons. Meanwhile behind him are 5 or 6 security guards holding, you guessed it, fully automatic assault weapons.
Was reflecting on Veterans Day and how it’s changed. Today most all give universal respect to our vets. This is a good thing. When I got out of the Marines almost everyone called us baby killers. No one liked the war, much less the people who fought in it. Baby killers. Got over it though.
Today marks the 244th anniversary of my fellow Marines. Not only are they the oldest branch of our military, but they were founded in a bar, the Tun Tavern. I’ll be tipping one or two for them. Sempre Fidelis.
I was fortunate to be about 10 miles from where they launched the shuttle once. It was a once in a lifetime experience for me. When the ship was about a 30 degree angle from me you could feel the ground rumble and vibrate. Then the noise came. You vibrated and became part of the process. Just...
As some of you may have heard, we had a pretty mean storm down here in south Florida. There was a lot of talk about price gouging. It’s really all nonsense. The suppliers have a limited supply of goods to sell. I was in line at a gas station and watched many a$$holes filling up 10 or so 5gal...
We just went through a Cat4 or 5 hurricane. Trust me, if you have a choice to avoid one do it. The destruction is unbelievable. We had steady winds of 80 mph with gusts to 165 mph. To put that in perspective a body in skydiving free fall falls around 120 mph. If you think you might go through...
About 30 years ago I worked with a company out of France. They made a truck wash machine that was NOT a rollover. Rather it was a large frame that laid on the ground was about 12’ wide and 60’ long. It was suspended by cables and rose and lowered. Can not remember their name but have a need for...
I remember many years ago as a young marine when the CO called me into his office and said congratulations, you’re going on a tour. I was thrilled. Then he said it’s a tour of SE Asia. It took 2 weeks before what that meant sank in.
I live in south FL where we have been ordered to get out of the state. All roads turn into a slow moving parking lot. Hurricanes you know. So after 3 hours what are the EV going to do? Will be fun to watch.
Used to own a small wash in Cape Coral,FL. Tomorrow has it that some group is going to build 17 washes in this city. Rumors are just that but something is afoot. Glad I’m just a spectator.
Everyone keeps complaining about drug abuse here. Why is it that no one ever says where they come from. China. Those filthy bastards are making it and flooding our country with them.
Just saw Where the crawdads sing. This is one of the best I have ever seen. Tells the story of a barefoot woman who lives in a swamp under crude conditions who transforms into a world recognized author. Trust me. You’ll like it.
Interesting thing about fear. You absolutely never want to show it. As soon as you do you show people that someone else has control over your emotions. In all situations keep your cool. Yes the pucker factor may go up . I have stared down some bad people and just looked them in the eye. It...
The liberal press keeps asking our sock puppet president what he’s going to do about high gas prices. Like he knows. He babbles for a while and is led away. Not one of These idiots brings up the fact that when he took office gas was half what it is today. All thanks to Trump.
