Could be that Mexican food he had last night, too.

We've got a lot of warnings here in the Chattanooga area, but nothing going on so far, and radar trend doesn't look bad across the southern TN counties. The rest of you guys stay safe!

Every now and then we do get to watch people running the show self immolate from stupidity ... just not often. In my last real engineering job I worked for a US based subsidiary of a big German company that starts with an "S". The US part was really screwed up because the intent was to buy...

Didn't stop to listen to his point of view just now, but as a country we need pick up some pointers from studies like Thermodynamics ... on losses, and there is no free lunch - everything causes friction to the economy and everything has losses. Investors that don't actually contribute to what...

Sounds like one of you has the priorities right ... maybe a matter of perspective, but I like where hog is headed. Besides it just seems wrong to be able to see a fish that you are tempting to skewer itself.

Have to do passive sonar.

Actually this is the other house that needs the work ... and closer to you. I will keep your offer in mind, but I think my sister or in-laws can point me to some reputable labor. I'm getting more used to the idea that I can't do everything anymore, so I'll probably get a list of things I need...

The collar ties are definitely on my to do list. Other than temporarily supporting one end while attaching the other, that seems to be a fairly easy job. I also have in mind the need for brackets to tie the ceiling joists to the center beam since that is the real weak point without the collar...

Went out on the back deck to toss out some food scraps for whatever roams the yard and it smelled like a perfume factory out there. The privet that grows wild is outdoing itself this year. It seems impossible to eradicate. One stand that I cleared a couple of years ago in the wooded area...

That was worth checking out on YouTube - if nothing else to see the other weird stuff that shows up in the "to watch" list.

I got a notice of a purchase on my PayPal account which I haven't used in forever. I pondered it all; decided not to call anybody and deleted my credit card from PayPal. When I logged in to PayPal there was no record of the transaction, so I wondered if it was a phishing attempt to try and get...

I read earlier the AF was flying planes out of OK like they do when hurricanes move in other places.

You two are just over the hill kids. I keep adjusting middle age upward.

That's fine if you plan the right in-bed activities.
