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.

My friend is in charge of all nurses at a large hospital, they are the largest employer in the state. It took him 1-1/2 years to fire 2 people he said was going to do the first day he took the job. They wound up rehiring them in another capacity. It was really rough on his morale and those...

Wasn't him. I had to google him. He's CEO of a company that we're tied in with currently that I have no dealings with. I only deal with the field erector. It's an odd contract our customer is the field erector instead of the customer, engineering firm, general contractor etc... It's a loooong...

LOl wut?

Just venting trying to wrap my head around the conversation.

I fired the one retard we had working here. I don't see it. We have very low turnover and get the job done with no retards. I have only one boss, the president. If I changed jobs it would a board, stockholders etc... It's worked well for him, I just rather spend the effort to weed out the...

Had an interesting conversation over dinner last night about hiring people. The person said the best deal was to hire people who promised everything (except legal and accounting) and thin the herd often if they don't work out. I would normally scoff at such talk but it has REALLY worked out for...

Just pointing out facts and what I have observed. I no longer live in the south. In the areas where I lived in the south 2 industries were predominant. Timber production and petro chemical. You don't work in either of those (the people I knew) while being fact. The only fat people I actually saw...

There are lots of fat people in the south. I just don't know any of them, just like I mentioned there are lots of people on food stamps and welfare in the south. I just don't know any of them. It's more a lifestyle problem than a food problem. My family is not exactly the healthiest eaters...

Uninstalled this morning after 4 years. Can only take so many games where almost half of the team does zero damage. Top tier tank I would think you would get one shot off, but no. Many I looked at fired zero shots. Just not real fun like that. Hopefully another game will come around and draw...

The south is full of plenty of people on welfare and food stamps, but I don't know any of them either. Coorelate that map with the black population. I see a strong resemblance. Percent black population. If you don't live in the cotton belt you have a higher chance to be white and not fat I...

I dunno, the people I know in the south aren't as fat as the people you see on the internet. Maybe it's just ghetto trash in the south. I don't know anyone personally when I lived there who would be considered overweight let alone obese. Of course I only know people who work for a living.

Well the poeple driving next to you once they find a "friend" in the middle of nowhere has been going on since I could drive.

I was born in LA, parents lived in LA till a few years ago when my dad retired. They live about an hour from Baton Rouge where I was born. They're right on the MS/LA border in a rural area but close enough to get to town if needed. Most of the food there is just like being in LA for the most...

Red and yellow kill a fellow. Not sure what orange and white get you.

Sorry to disappoint on 2 accounts. I don't have millions and the only species I invest in heavily to hunt is a bighorn sheep. 21 years in a row with no luck to draw a tag. No desire to go to Africa for any reason. If I had millions I would buy a governors tag with the proceeds going to sheep...
