At the top of the reply box where it has font size. bolt etc... on the right side just past where it says insert image, click on insert video and past away.

I partially paid my way thru college fishing bass tournaments. In East Texas it's a huge business and at the time I lived less than an hour or two from some of the best lakes in the country. I lived right on Sam Ruburn, a short time from Toledo, Fork, Murval (the previous TX record holder before...

Rest in peace

There must be "some" electronic manufacturing going on in the US still. Elecraft is a company in CA that makes (or assembles) components and says 100% made in the US and they make amatuer radio (ham) and associated stuff like amps, panagraphs etc....

Talked to a guy in Kiev this morning on the radio. Was news to him. Not sure if it's not getting much airtime over there or he just hadn't listened to anything.

I can't help on the promotion and pay end. There are only a handful of people that could take over my job tomorrow if needed. By a handful I mean 3-4 people and my dad is one of them. However I have relocated twice. I like being paid a lump sum rather than reimbursment, but maybe that's just me...

Americans would riot quicker if you cut off their cheap shit form China before they rioted for having to take a bicycle.

I'm OK with that. The time to give fucks has passed. Country is god damn broke. At the rate we're going we'll be using one of these soon. People are bitching about XX going up in price, it's not because of demand. It's because we're flooding the country and a good portion of the world...

Nothing says wanting to integrate like breaking several laws just to get here on top of whatever else they have done in the past before they got here, and no way to keep track of what they've done since they got here.

Baton Rouge is the closest backpage for me. 100 miles away.

Yeah. Look up the Baja 500 and see how many get pancacked each year from a truck flying over a hill and landing on them. Sometimes in multiples.

Yeah let's take a selfie in front of the peleton of 100+ bikes that's going 60mph on the downhill after a climb. That will end well. The worst wreck I ever saw at the tour was caused by a woman leaning over to look and catching a handle bar with her purse.

It's annoying here becuase the UPS driver is too fucking stupid to lean to hit the button on the gate and it will open if I set it to open when I'm expecting a package or ring in the house and then I can let him in. He drives up and looks at the gate and then leaves. I have a box there to leave...

Companies that ship shit signature required. It's a $40 item, it doesn't need a signature. Back to square one since the UPS driver can't get thru the gate to get on the property for a signature.

The tour started yesterday if anyone follows professional cycling.

I finally put him on ignore.I can only look at so many fat people in a day.

The label said prednosine and 250mg of potassium chloride. When I got it they had to call in each day and confirm it, because it wasn't the same they give for MS. 1g of it and 250 of the pottasium over 45 minutes for 5 days. Everywhere I looked mentioned the stuff you got for MS patients, but...

A month ago I did 5 days of 1000mg a day tansfusion of prednisone (yes a 1,000) mixed in with some other stuff. My girlfriend of 19 years, my friends, and both parents said I talked more that week than I have int he last 25 years combined. They cut it off cold turkey with no taper and about a...

Since we talked about HAM radio for a few. Contact with the King of Spain today, the one that is stepping down (or possibly already has). EA0JC , he was on for a "King of Spain" contest on amatuer radio today and he was talkig to a lot of people in the US who were having field day...

In the US morse code is no longer required for any of the amatuer radio licences for about 6 years now.

Yeah, that's why I gave up neighbors 15 years ago.

No steel fabricator I know or ever worked with would dick with anything like that. You need to find a dinky welding shop or something similar to dick with it. We normally won't deal with the general public, neither will most I deal with. We don't do commercial either. We build and repair...

I wish more of the fast food places would learn to hire people that speak english, not ebonics and actually do what they are paid to do. That is the biggest plus to Chickfila.

Thank god the world isn't full of HOA's everywhere yet. Be thankful you don't live next to me. I have antennas, a rifle/pistol range, and a runway for giant scale R/C airpleanes up to 42% full scale.

This weekend is field day across the US. Ham clubs get outdoors and practice their emergency prepartdness and try and contact all 50 states etc...Some places really get into it. Me, not so much but if you are intested in ham radio look up a local club and you can go out and make contacts this...

If you ever get anyone else interested screw the books. HamTestOnline - Ham Radio Exam Courses and Practice Tests the easiest way to get a license and very effective. They have a limited number of questions for each class license and it's multiple choice.

I haven't looked in a long time, but for a long time I was doing the design and drafting on the steel in each of those. I know at one time we did one in Denver and that was probably 10 years ago so I would expect they were all over by now. I always thought it was "ok" but people loved the sauce...

Wish I had picks. I graduated in '89 and you could buy beer here from a vending machine back then.

Kind of thought the same thing.

It's the fun of tinkering. I build a lot of the stuff, antennas and other stuff like tuners just to see if I can do it. Plus you can get some pretty intersting info in the world by either listening or talking to people in certain areas. I have hit 180+ countries and the international space...

New Harley electric motorcycle announced last week. Just thing of all the Harley riders that are going to die now because their loud pipes will no longer save lives.

Yeah but what shoes are they wearing?

Icom - 718, new ham radio for myself.

Forestry degree here. Crews here aren't even allowed to have a chainsaw let alone use it anymore. They have one saw for cutting dragging ends off the trailer and it stays with the loader. Otherwise it's all mechanical here, feller buncher, skidder, loader, etc...Nobody ever touches a tree.

My dad and I do the same thing. I worked contract with him for 20 years. Now I work for the same small company he retired from. We do structural steel design and shop drawings. I do a good bit more of stuff he never waned to mess with like going to the field, estimating, and programming some of...
