The stuff I'm worried about being stolen would be nearly impossible to get out of a window. The reason I upgraded the door jamb to keep someone from kicking the door in/down is to keep them from rolling out the gun safes which would require a lot of work but it's happend. The odds of someone...

If you want to win, play dirty.

Greece has the ability to print Euros there? I thought I heard that somewhere. We'll just print the shit out of them and smuggle them across the border. Have fun.

So earlier someone posted they were looking at taking a cut of bank accounts of 30% greater than 8k euros. Why this far into the game would anyone have that amount of money left in a bank in Greece?

Negotiation tactic of Greece.

Gotta get back in time.

Drone bullshit doesn't interest me at all. I remember when Art Scholl died filming the show. Entered an inverted flat spin in a Pitts with a camera on board and never recovered.

I have a separate policy on firearms. They required an appraisal obviously, but they send someone to make sure they are actually on the premises every other year and do a quick random spot inventory. If not, firearms would be increadibly easy to make a false claim. They were here, now they're...

Dunno. I fired our IT guy a few weeks ago. Those in the office only log into approve our time sheet which doesn't amount to anything since everyone is on salary. I log in Friday morning and approve a 40 hour sheet regardless. No idea what the shop does. I assume since the shop is griping they...

Nosy neighbors are a good thing I guess. The truck mentioned I think looked a lot like a service truck doing something. Even a door hinge screwed in with lag screws it's not that hard to break the jam down considering it's nothing more than a pair of 2x4's sideways and attached to a giant...

^^^Some good hauls. This keeps reminding me I need to take my dad fishing. He moved after retirement and bought a house just down the road from a state park that had a lake with awesome bass fishing, it's 5 minutes away at most. Soon after he moved the dam blew out after rain of a tropical...

Here they are big on 2 car garages attached to houses with 6 bedrooms. Then people park in the street cause they have 2 kids that also drive. Annoys the shit out of me.

My sister works/worked for a company that monitored and installed security systems with about 3/4 business and 1/4 residental, they're all over parts of the south now. Somehow she wound up with some equity in the company anyway.. She just built a new house. She didn't have a system installed...

I'm not sure I ever saw a person on a bike on an actual road until I moved out to the hill country in TX recently. Most of the places they ride that I see them have an extra wide shoulder or bike lane or whatver. Mostly see them in large groups and are pretty easy to spot. Still haven't seen one...

Freedom Train '76. Still remember going and seeing it.

Fake, but I laughed.

Does the weight change effect your throw much? Not a dart player obviously. Weight forward or whatever they call the balance?

Sorry on edge some. A lady in our accounting department left and when she did she emailed out the master password to our deal where people log their hours etc..It has pay in it. I only log in to approve that I worked 40 hours that week (duh) and it has accumulated vacation and sick time...

Wasn't me. If you get them again don't store them in the same humdior as other cigars either. A cigar should taste like tobacco, but mayve that's just me. Sorry I started the thread, was excited about something I worked towards for 30 years. I'm out, moving where I don't even get internet and...

Haha funny one. As far as I know the only leather bound book I own is Cabelas sends me a leather bound catalog most years. I don't ever smoke inside. To me smoking is an outdoor activity. As mentioned above I give a lot of cigars away. Even to people who don't smoke I'll give a box to...

I will say a LOT of people who smoke cigars or people who smoke them the first time don't really smoke them the best way possible to get a good taste out of it. Smoke MUCH slower than you think you should. Smoking a cigar too fast gives it a bitter taste. I would say a good start is a puff...

Yes but you'll notice the more variety you smoke some cigars have a higher nicotine content or whatever. A strong falvored cigar may or may not have a bigger kick. If you're knew you can temper it a little if you drink something sweet while smoking I have heard, no experience with it.

I have heard you can re humidify them in a humidor. I wouldn't mix them with your good cigars as they'll suck moisture of them too. I'm not sure 10 years is salvagable however. If you can it will take lots of time.

I like the taste which is why I prefer a certain flavor of cigar, the spicier the better which is why I like Don Pepin cigars. Not the fanciest but they have a spicy taste I like. I keep a lot of cigars so I can rest or age them (rest is <2 years, age is >2 years) and I give out LOTS of boxes...

Thanks, they're not all cowboys. Some are Indian, some are mountain/men trappers and some of animals etc...Most were western life which meant cowboys. He did a much wider range in paintings and they are interesting, just not my thing for whatever reason. I have no way to know but I think the...

Yeah. Dealing with all that shit is a lot like when I owned the company. I know I'm weird. I applied for a project managers posistion because I like what I do/did. I like the industry. I like building things, dealing with the guys in the field and the shop. I know weird. I came out of retirement...

Well don't click on the "what do you do" thread then. I'm putting in my notice shortly and will retire.

Me too. I don't even like it when we wear all purple jerseys instead of white.

Auction was today. The one I wanted the least sold for the least and was below my budget for the ones I wanted the most, but above what I wanted to pay for that particular one. The other two sold above what I wanted to pay. It wa close. I made a number of bids on one and the guy who bid...

I don't remember asking for advice. I've got approximately 3,500 cigars in 2 cabinet humidors and an office table humidor. I think I'll be OK.

Because 90% of cuba cigars are fake including "cubans" you buy in cuba and areas where they were never illegal. Macanudo really? They are a well made cigar but have almost no flavor to them at all.

I give them away or throw them away. Depending on the box you can get a divider made out of spanish cedar out of it you can toss in your humidor.

Can I show some history. Finish registered on the richter scale across campus in the geology department. I was at that game, junior in high school. Jeeze I'm getting old. Some days the football gods shine on you, why I have no reason.

Call me old fashioned. But one of the reasons I was in favor of the 20% down was in case things went to shit you had at least some chance of unloading your house without a foreclosure.

Guess it's offical, Greece defaulted.

I'm curious how often ya'll eat fast food. I never really followed the thread much till I changed work and the guys eat fast food every day. I'm not sure I could handle it that much. I do it twice a week at most. Otherwise I eat real food brought from home or I run home for lunch sinc I'm...

Thanks, but we don't contract out and require everyone on site and frequent field trips as well.

I guess I'm totally out of touch. When I hear/read YS I think of these. A supercharged 4 stroke engine that runs on glow fuel for my RC planes. It's truly a work of art in my mind. I guess that's the mechanical nerd in me.

What kind of draftsman, I'm hiring just north of San Antonio. Prefer someone with structural or plate work in a petrochemical environment but you never know.
