The Home Board

I was recently reminded of what I consider one of the worst movies of all times— critically acclaimed, winner of many awards, but in my opinion the worst movie ever. Unless you’re looking for a time suck that leaves you wishing you hadn’t wasted any minutes of your precious life watching it ...

Grew up with cows - beef critters - and all the associated chores. Left home @18 and glad of it.

50-odd years later, I'm out on one of my random motorcycle rides (say...that road looks interesting...) and passed a big (for Maine) dairy farm and the smells of cow shit and fresh silage jerked me ...

Wow, that is great!

You just crushed all of my self-esteem built up over a few welding repair projects I've done in the last few months.

Seriously this is cool, thanks for posting.

We just re-watched the TV series "Justified." It is filled with good characters and quotes, but one quote hits me as both funny and true...a good way to judge yourself. At one point, the main character Raylan Givens says:

“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. But if ...

Gene,

no, I was never stationed at Fort Lost-in-the-Woods, and it is actually one of relatively few Army posts that I've never at least visited. I have lived places that had near constant hot ranges, and I do miss the sound of artillery firing.

But maybe you'll think this is funny-- I grew up a ...

Yo, Gene, I'm still here. I just don't post much because nobody can kill a thread like I can. I've had a few projects that I was going to post about, but figured it wasn't worth the time given the lack of traffic. I've done a couple of welding projects that didn't come out too bad, but they aren't ...

Gene,

I love the A-10. Back when I was an artilleryman, I was selected to work with them for several weeks to help develop tactics, techniques and procedures for using them in Europe. I was exciting because besides a lot of meeting-room time, I also got a lot of actual calling for fire from the A ...

Like you guys, most of my travel was paid for by my Uncle Sam. I've lived in or visited 32 US States, all in the eastern 2/3s of the country. I've lived or visited foreign countries including Germany, France, Belgium, England, Thailand, and Japan. Since I retired in 2020, I've barely been out of ...

Sounds like excellent news, thanks for sharing. (And yes, I'm pretty sure that women (our age women, that is) are all very much tougher than we men are.)

I watched it back when I was a kid, too. Gonna have to look it up and re-watch. Thanks for the reminder!
