Good morning!!!!

[KilroyJC]

Thank you for your service. As an admission psychologist I "joined the party" on numerous occasions helping police officers wrestle a less than cooperative pending new admission through the front door.

Just remember:

The purpose of the Police Psychological Examination for Employment for the Police Academy is NOT to determine whether or not the applicant is crazy.

you have to be crazy to be a cop.

The purpose of the Police Psychological Examination for Employment for the Police Academy is to determine whether you are the right kind of crazy.

Kilroy- Congratulations, yes I agree that bribery works with nursing “frontliners”, and good luck learning how to operate the mini.


Drew- Good luck with the dermatologist and dentist. I cannot relate to the dermatologist (yet), but I can definitely relate to the crowns due to my nocturnal teeth grinding. Working with the mentally ill did take its toll on me, but if given the opportunity “the next time around” I would definitely jump at another opportunity to serve them.


Dennis- It’s awesome that your Dad can still get around and enjoy an active lifestyle. Thanks for sharing.


Fritz- Thanks for sharing the dog and tractor pictures. I probably have more pictures of tractors than my Wife. What is frustrating is the lack of available community based services for those in need and their families.

Popgadget- Thanks for the pictures. I hope your return flight(s) are uneventful.

Ken- You must be very proud of your son and I hope Saturday goes well with the new GF. Yes I was referring to Mass Moca. Wifey and I have been there quite a few times. Sometimes it’s a + experience, sometimes not, and sometime actually disturbing. I always enjoy watching the “uniqueness” of the artists and artist wannabe's

Thanks for the laugh, and I agree.

Good morning, the low temperature was 40 and going to a high of 62°F. Wind NNW 5 to 10 mph. Zero precipitation.

Nice hoe. Now the fun begins!

I plan to retire in a couple of years. I don't think my retirement plan can afford an $80,000.oo machine, unfortunately. I don't know if I can float a life insured loan at 77.

I have caught up with my get up and go, so I WILL be doing at least some of the tin work today. At a minimum cutting it away from the plastic on the fridge doors. Right now I have the V-plow sitting on top of my M416CDN2 army trailer. I want to get that finished so the plow can sit back down on its' skid. Then the trailer will be usable again.

I just looked at the back yard again yesterday, and I have about 4 to 6 hours worth of trimming and cutting to shove the bush back where it was when I bought this place.

I did get both sides of the driveway cleaned up and cut back about 6'. More room to put snow. There is one tree that I am leery (call that scared) of taking down with my hoe on the Kioti. It is higher than the hydro lines and about 10' from them. I don't want to be 'that' guy.

Breakfast time, have a safe day all

I would have had no problem with a used machine that might have needed some work, but I was “counseled” my Mrs. that it “may” be better to have a machine that has no issues and has a warranty and has a service contract and we can use immediately and has no “prior-owner-induced” hidden issues.

Last month, there was a tired Kato 28000lb excavator on CL for $10G, but no thumb or plow. If it had them, I might have gone for it because I would have enough reserve power and capacity for my smaller needs. But it probably would need a couple hoses, and full fluids and filter change — and a new seat! It looked like Hooch had it for dinner

it all depends on what you are willing (or unwilling) to fix!

Some high level clouds and upper level smoke plume made for a colorful morning with 38ºF as this morning's low temperature. More high level clouds are building in further filtering the sunshine. I expect these conditions to continue through the rest of the day with high temperature ~ 60ºF.

Yesterday I did not put 2 and 2 together as it related to the unexpected upper level haze. The haze was/is actually a smoke plume from wildfires in Alberta, Canada. I've been smelling smoke the past 2 mornings.

Thanks Jay, and the lack of insurance coverage for healthcare services. When presented with bills over 100 grand that insurance would not cover is no fun

At the risk of going into TBN Timeout, this country sends a lot of money to countries that do not like us - a LOT of money - that should be spent here.

Homeless veterans are just a start Of that discussion…

I totally agree with you Kilroy. The same goes for up here.

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 6:15AM. Sun and clouds mixed. High around 75F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Wow! We went from debating causes of violent crime to rolling in in just a few posts. Can't call this crew narrow minded...

Jumpered the fuel pump on the VW directly to the battery yesterday and the darn thing still wouldn't start. I give up, and we'll have to push the thing out of the way for the house painters today.

A neighbor came over and we killed a bottle of wine around the camp fire, but were still unable to solve even one of the world's problems. That's job security...

RNG, you now can claim to own the most reliable car and least reliable car

good trip to dermatologist, scrape and burn, a freezie or three and out I went.

now to deal with Comcast and Verizon online
frustrating experience going to Verizon store in Doylestown.
Oh we don't deal with that, we just do cellular.
really?
clearly both companies have discontinued live person customer service locally, do it all by phone or online I guess.
want to get new Internet with Verizon, who also has my cell coverage, and discontinue with Comcast altogether.
