Went to another CoH today, it's for the Scout in our Troop who I did the roof installation for on his "insanely awesome over the top" bulletin board project @ their church.
Not that I thought the food @ the last one was bad, but this one had Salt Lick Q (sausage, brisket, slaw, beans, tater salad)... I knew it was them by the slaw / tater salad & mustard-y Q sauce.
This particular Scout is aiming towards med school & from what I've seen of him, he's going to be successful. Has 2 of the High Adventure locations under his belt + Philmont / Tooth of Time & managed to get his BSA Recruiter strip as well. Also in OA. Quality Scout all the way around.
In other news, I finally swapped out my red / white Cub Scout #'s for the BSA "unified" version.
Monster is 11 & took the pic in front of this Eagle project, so no real apologies for the out of level issues.
Also, you'll noticed that when I sew on patches, they don't get much chance to come off.

Looking for flooring and countertops in the SW (Slaughter/Brodie) area.
If the former GDLover (now @Born to Run) would ever answer his damn tagged posts, he'd be your guy for that. I've seen his kitchen work, good stuff.

Those fuckers on YouTube lie. I changed the multifunction switch on my z71 last month. Video was less than a half hour. Took me about 8.Here's my current "YOU LIE!" YouTube vidja:
The problem with our '07 Tahoe isn't that the hose connecting part broke, it's the portion that connects to the silver tube.
I have a hose fitting tool (the white "C" shaped fitting thingies) but can't get it to release from the plastic part.
To top it off, there is also a firewall connecting part & that also seems just as impossible to reach in & work on, but for now I'd be happy to get the silver tube (top one) disconnected from the quick connect. -

Currently, I'm replacing the thermostat on a 3rd gen Dodge Ram.
Sucks that they decided to place it under the engine (lower radiator hose).
[Words Words Words]
Im taking that shitty tstat back to Dodge and getting a refund.
I'm certain @Mother mopar is unhappy with you.

on my to-do list:
- destroy and remove a cracking concrete patio and replacing it with wood and built in seating
- leaf guards for the gutters. invent some roomba-type gadget to brush/blow all of the tree shit off the roof and clean the skylights (i can dream, right?)
We can assist you with the demo on the patio if that's a bit too much for you - price would depend on whether or not we are removing the debris, priced per day + that hauling option.
As to the gutter situation, $ 11.00 / foot for a 1 story LeaFree system + any possible miscellaneous whatevers if required. & We'll blow all the leaves off the roof included in the cost. This would be an addition to your existing gutters with no removal / replacement of the existing system. -

Hiker Direct gear arrived yesterday; haven't had an opportunity to open the box. Will advise & post pics when I do.
Looking @ a tent now, REI has a Big Agnes Chimney Creek Mountain Glo (has LED's integrated inside the rig) for $ 375. Considering it... Shag 2.0'ers, convince me to buy (or not buy) this tent.
Would be for up to 2 to use, mostly me & the son or my wife & daughter, prob. not the 4 of us @ once due to space internal, etc. (i.e. a 6 person fits 4+ gear, etc).https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/product/108450/big-agnes-chimney-creek-4-mtnglo-tent

Beavers Bend in Oklahoma isn't too far from Dallas or Fort Worth. It's about as good as a campground as you can get for getting back into some easy tent camping and introducing kids to it. It's also far enough away that it feels more like a trip to something different instead of just going to the closest state park.
Do you see what you did wrong?

Of course there is always a potential that a password saving site is going to get hacked, so... no great answer.
I maintain a couple of contacts on my phone that are my account & PW info & that is saved in the notes & I refer to that when needed.

Apparently the fine folks @ YETI have pissed off a lot of people for a purported "non 2A" stance.
Read on:
“Suddenly, without prior notice, YETI has declined to do business with The NRA Foundation saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor, and refused to say why. They will only say they will no longer sell products to The NRA Foundation. That certainly isn’t sportsmanlike.
In fact, YETI should be ashamed. They have declined to continue helping America’s young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities. These activities enable them to appreciate America and enjoy our natural resources with wholesome and healthy outdoor recreational and educational programs,” the alert reads. “In this day and age, information is power. We thought you needed this information.”

The hitch is also useful as a sorta "feeler" for backing in where there's a wall, large rock or the wooden wall @ the feed store & I can lightly tap it vs. my bumper getting in there.
Plus, a close in & backed in parking is desired @ Pug's so I can put the horse feed in right off the front porch vs. going around the side & having to toss it over. -

As a kid, a couple of diodes from a radio my dad took apart (they looked like candy), various denominations of change, pillbugs, dirt. As an adult if tried some weird shit but the weirdest was on a fishing trip I took a drunken bet to take a couple of bites out of a cabbage head that washed up on the beach. It was nasty.
On first read, I thought you had ingested a couple of dildoes; that would have made more sense.
& My newest item was a small chip from a bag of Snyder's of Hanover honey mustard pretzel. It was sitting on the floormat; I think that was from yesterday's "nibble while you drive" event. -
First, 'Shank will need to drill down for a true win:win.
Of course that's after we blueprint this & get buy-in from all the related contributors & circle the wagons for an in-house meeting to discuss the relevant partnership support hubs.

Yeah, fuck that guy in particular.
I'm thinking his next job will be to oversee the drug testing that is a requirement before the po peeps get their box o' guvernmint cheese. -

Oh, & one thing about Hiker Direct ... well, 2 things.
1st, the discounts are for Scouters however when I registered they really didn't do much more than ask what your Troop # is & what your role is within the org. Pretty basic, no registration # or proof or whatnot.
2nd, they have a new process coming online & are being rolled into Alps Mountaineering come 01 May.

Are any of y'all using Hiker Direct?
The prices seem genuinely insane compared to retail & I'm about to pull the trigger on lighter weight sleeping bags (2) & maybe an internal frame backpack for the boy. The hard part on a backpack for him is he's 11 years old, 5 ft. tall (just measured his height @ the 'robbery strip' @ Whataburger tonight) & I'd like to get one that is going to handle age changes as much as possible.Features

And I told you all I'd vouch for Xminus6. He does great work and highly recommend him if you're looking for a logo.
Did this for me probably 15 years ago.

Next up is a larger hook & loop section that goes under the Troop #'s (soft side on the shirt) that will cover the old sticky stuff that left a very visible mark & will also hold a patch for whatever role I take on in the Troop past "Committee".
