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...

A neighbour 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...

and you didn't have to become a politician (liar).

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…

Was having similar thoughts just yesterday, wondering if all that southern border induced money went to bonafide citizens.

Sodamo- you gone and done broke it now.
Maybe cut in a whole new piece there ?

Drew, the service providers going online saves them many fat lips.

All the good tin is cut off the three fridge doors, my back hurts, but that is normal after bending half over for two hours. tomorrow I will screw it onto the V-plow AND maybe the wood conveyor too.

My 16 face cords of cut and split firewood will cost me $2560.oo delivered this year. Half up front and the rest when I get it. Pretty good deal as far as I am concerned.

I sure did.
My 1st thoughts were to remove that frame, take it to town to a welding shop. Might still do that at some point, but will take a chance of mucking it up myself first

One option. I got a Cat 1 / Cat 2 bushing that maybe weld in place

sodamo, the sign in the barber shop; haircuts $10.oo, we repair home haircuts $20.oo. Maybe the welding shop will charge you less if they don't have to fix your repair?

Update:

Daughter had her award ceremony today along with 3 of her coworkers

It was for establishing a verifiable data base of Russian war crimes and human rights abuses that has resulted in an international arrest warrant for Putin and as commended by the US Congress

After the event she was interviewed for an agency magazine writeup

On the issue of the VA services and more money for the agency

My experience on the services is not a lack of money but a lack of competent people with good leadership. A new secretary does not fix the in the ranks issues. It takes a whole lot more than that.

Our son has received several cash awards and he is on sizable monthly payments to where he should be able to live comfortable. But with his fixations and mental issue he blows it all
The prescribing doctors do not coordinate treatment and he ends up on 25 meds at the same time. No-one takes him off any. And he goes home less after release and they continue to send boxes and boxes of his meds to our house
In the private world you work in a few meds to see if they work and if not change it> prescribing mental heath meds is not rocket science despite what you may hear. It is a matter of finding the right combination by trial a error
