    Weather change on the way might have something to do with that. My knees and hands hurt like heck so decided to not go out. Don't have to worry about falling off the sticks this way.

    Bath towels that are 50% RAYON!!! WTF!?!?

    You get dry by friction not absorption. May as well install air jets like at the car wash to get dry.

    My neighbor. I got some coyotes on trail cam and I talked to a guy that was interested in trapping them. Before I gave the go ahead I asked my neighbor about having traps out and controlling the dogs for a couple of weeks. He was horrified about the idea of an animal being stuck in a trap until the traps could be checked, even though the traps would be checked every morning. Now he complains to my wife about the coyotes and how it is my fault because I feed the deer and how he is afraid to take his dogs for a walk, and how all the fawns will be killed. Some people.

    Being called a “ambulance driver” by nurses or should I say doctor helpers. Lol I went to school too maybe not as long as you but I have a pretty good idea of what’s going on so no need to talk down to us.

    I used to have a guy at the fire base that was a paramedic he tried to throw his whole rescue pack on a top bin of a wildfire response rig, he melted down when I told him to remove it from the engine, when you staff a wildfire rig you are a firefighter we are not responding to medicals. He said he had an oath I explained I had responsibility for the rig and the crew and was not having an oxygen tank in a pack up on an exposed rack going to a wildfire. I was so happy the day that guy got let go.

    Caught an early flight home this morning, get to my truck in the ramp and some a-hole ran their bumper down the side of my truck that had less than 2000 miles on it. Luckily for me there are cameras all over at the airport, I had the airport police come and file a report can't wait till they identify the driver I will be more than willing to press every charge possible.

    That that would suck way different time changes and that sucks, do you get to fly up front? Can not imagine flying that long in a regular seat. I almost feel guilty complaining about a 8:30 Sunday morning flight and landing at 9:45 Friday night.

    Yeah always up front.

    Honestly after these particular types of trip which happen maybe 10-12 times a year I’m out for a couple of days after, the time changes and climate changes just ruin me.

    So I stay at hilton chain of hotels to keep the points all in one place, I use the hilton website it is simple easy and fast to find a hotel close to where you need to be. I am checked into the Hilton Garden Inn Miami. Problem is they forgot to mention the whole being in the flight path with low flying jets going over every 5 minutes.

    Why can't we just watch a fun TV show without politics? Wife got me into big brother, well they are airing a "celebrity" version now and of course, they brought in this Omarosa lady that was on Trump's team. Guess what?!?!?! Of course, they had to of had a plan and started talking crap about the president.
    I don't care who they were talking about, Trump/Obama/Bush/Reagan, etc.; I just want to laugh and enjoy my shows, not hear a biased and forced opinion.
    That is all, thanks for listening.

    We have a new grocery store in town and they have umbrellas customers can borrow. The sign on the box says "just drop with any associate when you are done." How am I suppose to do that? Walk back in and drop it off then walk back out in the rain?

    Edit2: No idea how many school shootings there have been actually. They are just sickening.

    "19 years ago a massacre at Columbine High School shook a nation. Today, a more deadly shooting occurred at Stone Douglas High School and it will be forgotten in a week. We're going down the wrong path."
