    Will wait and see what it looks like tomorrow. We went to Birmingham to help with the cleanup. We have a semi trailer full of equipment that's pretty handy. Generators, chain saws, portable coolers, fans, etc...We went it to Joplin, MO and were going to drive up the next day to meet it but it...

    Maybe the funding they request for OK will actually be geared toward people impacted by the tornado, unlike a good portion of the Sandy (and Katrina) bill that was someones pet pork project that had no business being in a disaster relief bill.

    Tornados are frequent where I live and you can't build basements here. Dunnoa bout OK.

    Buying a car?

    I would but the elevated non on/off part is 30 miles which would pretty much suck with a 25 window to get gas lol.

    Buying a car?

    I've been thinking about getting a car since I do drive a lot in my commute. It's 95 miles one way which takes me about 1:10. It's interstate the entire way except for a mile on either end and elevated interstate for 30 miles of it with 1 exit/onramp in that span so that means really people go...

    Wax the table top, especially if it's a cast iron top. Even aluminum will benefit from waxing and make sliding stuff on the saw much easier and will protect it at the same time.

    Gun control

    There are guns that have even less for the receiver part. There are some that are nothing more than a folded piece of metal. I remember looking at one earlier this year that was a registered selective fire (including full auto) that was nothing more than a piece of metal bent 90 degrees about 6"...

    The SEC could always go to a new schedule where Alabama, LSU, Florida and Georgia don't play each other and watch the rest of the country melt down when the top 4 undefeated teams are from the SEC and take the 4 playoff spots lol.

    Not sure but they finished 3rd in the SEC west alone and would have needed both Alabama and LSU to lose their last game for them to finish 1st in the west. I really don't arguing that your bottom teams are better than another conferences bottom teams. Stoops should worry about being the top...

    Boats

    Part of it is probably they get used even down here in the south for 4-5 months and then not used till next summer as opposed to fishing boats that get loaded on and off the trailer here 12 months out of the year, or simply experience with it.

    Boats

    One thing to remember with a pontoon boat is you can't leave it on the water they are the biggest pain in the ass to get back on a trailer. I can't count the number of hours I have sat at a ramp waiting for someone to get their pontoon boat back on the trailer compared to other types of boats...

    Gun control

    Chart is nothing more than an increase in background checks, that's all. It's not linked to crime or anything else. All you can draw from that chart is that there has been an increase in background checks. You can't draw a straight comparison between that and the number of guns sold either...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Hired a guy this week to do general shop cleanup, sweep the office, and wash the trucks of guys in the office one day a week. He said he was really excited about going back to work after being laid off and already had passed our drug test. Didn't show up the first or second day and when the HR...

    I did draw this once, a water slide in Baton Rouge. Go ahead and laugh at my square, it was exciting to me. The next best option to get that clean of a cut is a waterjet that takes 1.5 hours to pierce and cuts at less than 1" per hour I did the design and detail of the walk way out...

    Not really, I sit inside in my office for most of it and the guy outside does all the mans work by putting the plate on the burner and taking it off. It's a plasma burner with an oxy head as well. It has a side lathe that will cope pipe up to 24" for pipe saddles and multi part elbows etc...that...

    Totally depends on the location and the DA. The DA will have the biggest impact on if you are charged. A guy here escaped from the cops, shot a cop and was on the run for a week or more. The state police got him cornered in a trailer and he shot the state trooper and dropped his gun and started...

You can really gear yourself up even to lvl 100 just by getting rots in popular zones 80+ such as the HoT zones and the RoF ones. Below that it doesn't matter much anyway.

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    They first said it was someone welding at the plant, but then I never heard anything about it. I know from the work I do fires break out at the larger facilities all the time but are relatively small, normally from a welder, grinder, someone drilling or a piece of equipment that catches fire due...

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    I live and work in the chemical corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans where there are approximately 90 chemical plants and refineries in about 70 river miles and for the most part the fire departments aren't even allowed inside a plant in case of an emergency especially a release. Every...

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    I've worked in and around chemical plants and refineries my entire life. Been in probably 75% of the 90 or so between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. I'm assuming that was a small fertilizer plant. Most of the larger plants here they don't even let the civilian firefighters on scene if there is a...

    Back to working for myself. After a job offer in a project management position I accepted then they brought up some additional requirements like gettng a TWIC card today. It was an OK job, although it was a paycut going from being self employed. It just didn't pay enough to put up with that BS.

    An NCAA charge shouldn't have any bearing on the NFL. If it needs to extend to the NFL then it would have to be something crimminal like inappropriate behavior, not gaming the NCAA system.

    They can slap the same deal on Chip that Tressel got, if he goes to another school his punishment follows him which is why he isn't coaching. Would effectively end him from ever coaching in college again after his NFL career is up. Oregon is self imposing a penalty but I'm not sure the NCAA...
