    I was tempted to dislike but I realize I am a prick and did not want to piss on the zen mumbo jumbo.

    They say people who run late are usually creative....bc they have to tell tall tales to explain their lateness.

    That being said I'm the 10 to 20 minutes early guy...no creativity.

    I am not creative enough to doodle on a note pad, but I am always 20 minutes early.

    So a couple weeks back I had an incident with the neck mower broke a spindle on the walk behind deck mower I call the beast. I found the correct spindle online and the switch out was painless really. Then I discovered that the drive to the deck belt was damaged in the same incident. I have switched this belt off before and it is a major pain in the ass, have to pull two belts and re tentioning is a tuning process. Once I get that figured out I get to march behind the damn beast and walk 12 miles to get it all mowed, best part it is two weeks since the last mowing it is going to take a double pass. Lucky for me it will be humid and buggy and it will be a aleve and advil night.

    His manifesto, if true to be his, is sickening to read.

    Expresses/instructs others how to go about similar attacks along with other sickening schit.

    These things are increasing for one reason IMO, social media and 24 hour news networks making them relevant.


    Reddit feeds, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS and the internet in whole for what it is worth.

    Isn't any saving it now, it's here to stay. That goes for the violence and the means to glorify and emulate such.

    I remember when WebTV was the big thing in the early 90's, wish it would have failed

    9 dead in Ohio. Damn it man. Cops get there and kill the son of a ***** in under one minute or else dozens more would be dead. This stuff collectively effects all of us. Our countrymen getting slaughtered...a real sickness here in the US.

    Factual accuracy in the reporting also lacking:
    Assault rifle
    High caliber .223
    Automatic

    Relate, of the last 3 (that I recall): Gilroy, El Paso, Dayton some observations :
    All 3 premeditated (equipment to cut fence, manifesto, magazines)
    Gun free zones
    Committed by relatively young kids
    2 of 3 gunmen dead (1 suicide, 1 apparently shot by police)

    The upped security at the Twins game yesterday based on the mass shootings in Ohio and Texas. I don't have a problem with the reactionary staffing, seems the only place you are safe in a crowd is inside an airport.

    Jeep started leaking power steering fluid on the way to work this morning. Turning was getting a little noisy. Fortunately, my mechanic can look at it tomorrow. I would be nice to not have to spend money on car repairs every month. Last month, my wife's Explorer ran us $950 getting the bearings replaced on both front tires. At least the power steering should be cheaper than that for my jeep.

    Cleaning up some of the wife's old, broken and unused flower pots. I was pulling out the weeds and dumping the dirt into the bucket of my tractor for a trip out in the woods to the compost pile. On one pot I grabbed a handful of nettles........Ouch!! A couple of pots later I noticed hundreds of ants swarming and biting my hand and arm......... Ouch!! Again.

    Good luck. I'm waiting to hear price on the dryer...then the cracked windshield... Then...

    Always something, even if it's not always vehicles.
