    Idiots who come to the gym when they are sick. I just made a student leave the facility and told her to come back when she was feeling better. All that coughing and sneezing, I wouldn't be surprised if she has the flu. I had Lysol everything she touched. The local school district was closed Monday and Tuesday this week to clean the schools because 250 teachers called in sick on Sunday afternoon. Freaking stay home if you are sick!

    First spam calls, now spam texts, just got a random text guaranteeing to add 3 inches by Valentine's Day. No thanks, my wife would be hating me if I were three inches bigger.

    Well that was waste of afternoon. Spent most if day changing line on that tractor only to get done and fill it back up with oil to fire tractor up and find it was another line that blew. Luckily little easier to get to and one did replace needed it. But man it's no wonder mechanics change 100 bucks a hour or better for bigger equipment.

    1st part- actually I was replying to Sota.
    2nd part - 100% correct
    3rd part - could not agree more. which is reflected in my pointing out that IL will have 2 separate sets or IDs. One for legal residents that also want to travel by air; and one to allow illegals to drive within the state w/o repercussions

    I will say this- I used the clear Flex Seal in the pressurized tube to stick a piece of plastic trim back on my work car (plastic to clear coated steel) 3 years ago. I shot it down in the tab holes in both the steel and the plastic then pressed it together. No issues since and the adhesive still has jut a bit of flex in it even in extreme temps. I wouldn't patch a roof or a 12" hole in a boat with it; but for that kind of thing it works just fine.

    Bathroom paper towel dispensers giving you 3 or 4 inches of paper towel to dry your hands.

    You know when I use an airport restroom I am tempted to not wash my hands. 1 I know I did not piss on my hands 2 my junk is cleaner than any surface in that restroom.

    Back wheel and tire on my truck broke off. About a week ago I felt a slight vibration that I thought could be a brake problem. It did not happen all the time but I made a note to get it to my buddy's shop to have it checked. Well, I wasn't quick enough. On the way back to the bar from town I felt a slight sway when I went around a curve on the highway. I knew something wasn't right. It felt like a back tire was going flat. Great only 10 miles to go. I slowed to about 50 mph and took it easy trying to get to the bar.

    When I got to the bar I poked my head out the window and saw my back tire wobbling like crazy. I dropped off the dogs and tried to ease the truck to the front of the bar so it would be sitting on black top. Never made it. The wheel and tire broke off leaving me with the nose of the truck in a lane of traffic on the highway.

    I put on my flashers and went inside and called my neighbor. He came over and steered my truck after I had gotten my tractor and lifted the back of the truck and pushed him into the parking lot. Only had to go about 100 feet but it still sucked.

    All of the studs had broken off. I'm not sure why but am glad it didn't happen at 60 mph out in the sticks.

    Weather people that do the weather outside during weather events. Do they think people never go outside or have windows in their house?

    Colin Kapernick is publishing a book. Let me guess the media will make sure it is on the NY times best seller list.
