Did anyone else see his story on Dateline tonight. If you missed it you can read it herehttp://www.msnbc.com/news/658892.asp#BODY I had almost forgot the incident, and this was a good reminder. A true American hero. Ernie

I thought I would warn everyone about a scam being run on AOL to steal passwords. It works like this. You get an Offical looking email that appears to be from AOL. Here is a portion of one I recently recieved. <font color=blue>Dear Member, America Online has been receiving logs of your account...

For everyone who enjoyed Mike Dumond's post "bin Laden's liquor store" Here is another chance to take a few shots. No Slurpee, but it does have a bigger weapon. And hey, is there anybody better to shoot at? http://www.freaksonparade.com/usa/ Ernie

Here is a little Flash movie. Some of you have probably seen it, as it has been making the rounds. Takes awhile to download, and there are some pop ups (hate those things), but worth it, if only to see G. W. playing a conga. http://www.madblast.com/binladen.htm Ernie

Those of you with children or even grandchildren, and with childproof car door locks, How old do you think a child should be before you disable the childproofing? I'd like to hear what some of you think before I explain this one. Ernie

Over the last couple of weeks there have been many displays of patriotism, but what Texas A&M did Saturday at their game with Oklahoma State really stands out to me. Those who saw the game or saw pictures of the stands will know what I mean. For those who didn't. Kyle Field the home of the...

It looks like I'm going to have to replace a front tire on the TC29. I've got titan 25X8.50-114 R4's. I went to a local tire store that carries all kinds of farm, lawn and garden, industrial tires, and so on. When I gave them the size, they all looked at each other, and you could almost see the...

After 2 months without a drop, finally rain Yesterday just about all day, a slow steady soaking kind od rain I won't be working much for the next few days, but we sure needed it. Rain and baby calves are always welcomed here It's been coming down on and off today as well. We are under flash...

It amazes me that one can know nothing about these things, and still use them. The recent thread "I hate computers" showed me how little I do know, but it also told me that there are a lot of folks on this board who may hate computers, but they sure seem to know a lot about them. I have a basic...

OK, all those high dollar power tools are fine and dandy, but sooner or later you have to pick up a wrench or a socket and rachet. Ever since I was a teenager, I've heard Snap on is the best. I see they are on the web now, Yeow! talk about sticker shock. No wonder mechanics charge so much, they...

I'm not knocking small tractors. I'm talking about actual toy tractors. I have a great memory of going with my Grandfather to grind feed. Right next door to the mill was a John Deere dealer. It had an old wooden store front with display windows, one of which was always full of the little JD...

This device came up in a discussion sometime back. I thought it would be fairly easy to make one, although I admit I bought this one. Scruffy asked for some pictures, but none were ever put up, at least that I could find. For people who have never seen or used one of these, I'll explain...

I noticed there are a couple of stories on the evening news concerning prescription drugs. I have never payed much attention in the past, mainly because our insureance covers a considerable portion, and we haven't needed them much. But not too long ago my mother had heart surgery. She is doing...

A grim subject, but recent events around here have me thinking. Not having cable or dish our TV reception is limited to local stuff and that means San Antonio. Two incidents within a week of each other has caused a firestorm of controversy in the Alamo city. A used car dealer after having been...

Yesterday I heard the most bizarre story on the radio. So much so, that I'm having a hard time believing it. Maybe someone else has heard this, and can confirm. I think this is supposed to have happened in Alabama. A gentleman who worked as a proof reader for 30 years died at his desk. Now for...
