I like people that complain about the money in sports while having a jersey of 14 varieties for players and teams they like, have season tickets, and pay for the MLB or NFL network etc... I had a suite at Tiger Stadium for LSU for a long time. It was "fun" but it was more of a business...

I'm glad I have never worked in a corporate environment. In the companies I have worked for (small to medium at most, I would say small) you don't get PTO. You get vacation time. If you need to take care of something or are sick you just take off. You still get paid for the full week etc...It's...

I don't game much, in the years steam has been in business I think I bought 10 games. The few games I do play aren't cutting edge graphics wise.

That was my problem. I had a few programs on my OS drive that I didn't have any way to reinstall them.

Opened my computer today to clean it. Found a 30gb SSD I had forgot about just sitting there. I think I had my OS on it when I first built this computer when SSD's weren't that common. I think I ran out of room and put in another one. So now I have a 30gb SSD I might try to put in and at least...

I guess I'm old. Black tie means "old school" black tie to me. There's probably a good chance that a fair number of people don't know what black tie means and a good chance a fair number of peole that attended never even read that part of the invitation. "Oh we got an invite to soandso's wedding...

I moved some stuff and have 20.7 gb free now on that SSD. So I'm guessing it will isntall and I can get it back more or less hopefully.

I'm not sure the Applebees there serves alcohol since it's a "dry" or semi dry county I flew out of. Not sure really.

So far it hasn't been that bad. So far I've found it easier to carry than WoT. I ended my career with a 56% win rate in WoT over 20k matches and I just couldn't put up with it. At least WoWS I get to experience new window lickers as opposed to knowing 30 seconds in what the real idiots are going...

West of the rockies you're on the air. Before the internet was popular I worked nights at home a lot. Listened to him a lot.

I don't understand how George Noory stays on the air, or got there to begin with.

I'm still on the fence. I finally updated my windows 7 pro so that I got the upgrade to 10 notification. From reading around it says 20gb required for 64 bit windows. I don't have 20gb free on my OS SSD drive. Is that a problem? I really don't want to move the few things that are on it to...

Good luck. That sounds painful just thinking about it.

No, not sure what that is to be honest. I really don't have any balance issues. I seem to ride OK, just the stamina isn't there at all. Googled them, basically training wheels. No I think I can do OK without those. If you saw me I wouldn't appear out of the ordinary. I've been walking a lot and...

Ate at Arby's for the first time in about 10 years, it was either that or Applebee's. That was the only 2 things the town I flew out of today had that was open. I got a french dip sub 2 for $6. It was edible. They had an Italian advertised a lot, but some of the ingredients didn't look too...

Yeah not many hills here even tho it's called the hill country. More like bumps. Anyway did a whopping 1-1/2 miles today lol. Not much compared to you guys that do 20,50, or even 100 miles in a day. Pat myself on the back, not bad considering 18 months ago I was told I would never walk...

Decided to try it out. Tired of the window lickers in WoT which seem to get worse and worse every day. It took about 50 matches to really get the feel of the game and contribute. After that I'm kind of enjoying it. So far really only playing cruisers and battleships. Have no desire to play...

Dunno, never tried it. My parents have one that's 12' long on their sunroom. It only sticks in one spot. I looked at it but they don't open it that far enough to really pursue it. When you find the answer post it here

Nevermind, went to walmart and got a pair for $7 and got them on.

Yeah, I lowered the seat just a bit. Think I'm crazy but I think I shrank about an inch. I've forgotten a lot of stuff in 2 years. I assume BMX style pedals have the same threads as MTB pedals. I can't remember as I've never used anything other than MTB pedlas with a SPD cleat. Was...

Thanks, those are the type of things I was looking for. If we had a decent bike shop I could probably pick them up for free. Like I said the shop I bought it at they had them on every bike so you could walk in and ride them without having your shoes with you. It's going to take a while. I...

Anyone know a source for SPD pedal inserts? The deal that turns them into a platform that just snap into the cleat. I'm just now trying to ride my bike after a 1-1/2 years and neurological issues. I'm not really ready to clip in tith my shoes now for safety reasons. Probably short term till I...

Been on semi vacation this week, visiting my parents and checking out the possibility of the company I am with getting more involved in the petro chemical industry. That looked pretty promosing and got some leads thru contacts I had from previous work. Then I see this morning they announced...

I can see it causing issues. I have never asked what someone else makes. But new hires in our shop in the past make about $15/hour and they work their ass off in the heat etc...doing what I call "real" work compared to me sitting at a desk etc... If they raised minimum wage to $15/hour I can...

Been on semi vacation for a week visiting my parents and doing shit in BR. I have to fly back this afternoon and go to work on Monday. Bummer.

Why is LSU even ranked in the top 25. They haved no QB at all and the defense is not up to par on what it used to be back in the heyday of a good defense and run left/run right as the offensive playbook.

No they had it on PPV in the superdome or something. I didn't even listen to her when she said fight lol. I had to email her and ask her what she actually went to. They had some live undercard crap as well I'm told. Sorry for the confusion. I tune her out most of the time and I'm not into any of...

My niece went last night on some free tickets. Good thing it was free. She mentioned something about a fight, I didn't realise that was where she was going till this morning.

Someone said earlier she was age of consent in that state but the prostitution was the illegal part.

Figure in their savings for not providing you benefits and workers comp etc...I wouldn't charge the same that's for sure.

Buzz Aldrin travel voucher.

Retro Friday. Listening to some music on my reel to reel.

I always wanted a Gretsch country gentlemen to augment my Tele's. But I lost the ability to play the guitar. Your Gretsch looks great tho, they have that something special.

Visiting my parents this week. Sitting on the deck after a cool dront dropped the temp from 97 to 82F without rain so no extra humidity. Almost feels like fall. Sitting here chilling listening to my reel to reel (The Manhattans now) I am picking up and smoking a cigar. Feels good. I know...

Yeah I guess it depends on the industry. My biggest want out of an owner is the ability to put away for the lean times. Most of the companies I have done work for in the past make 90% of their profit in a short period in the spring and again in the fall and do enough to basically keep the doors...

Some owners and upper management have resisted in the past when they throw out a lot of BS and I ask to see the numbers in an interview. I have been hesitant to move across country for a new job without seeing the actual numbers and a pretty solid idea of the future of the company. I know lots...

I did 100% contract work for 15 years. I don't have an exact percentage. I got paid $150 per sheet to draw and $50 per sheet to check. Some stuff it would have been cheaper to pay someone by the hour and in others it was cheaper for me to do it. Lots of times what I charged $600 for could...

I just eat these and cut to the chase.

Which is why my employment with the government was short lived. I've mentioned it before. I was hired summers in college to go out to the national forest and be the "eyes" of the silviculturist whose job is to decide when to harvest, burn, thin, plant etc...basically a fancy name for forester...

On the flip side is having people on the payroll that everyone knows can't accomplish shit. Really tough in small businesses. I know for a fact this impacts morale.
