    I'll drive 50 miles out of my way to avoid Snyder.

    And I once heard a guy say that he didn't want to go to a doctor to have a colonoscopy because he was afraid that the doctor would tell him he had cancer.

    My PSA is constantly above 6 and hit 13 last year. But because I get checked twice a year (for the last 6 years) I didn't freak out and further test showed no cancer. I just left the hospital visiting a friend. He had no need for doctors and decided to quit his high blood pressure medicine months ago because he didn't like the way it affected him. 6 weeks ago he had a stroke. When they checked him into emergency they also discovered that he also had A-fib and was diabetic. He couldn't talk or use his right arm and had to walk with a walker. He had a second stroke last night. When I walked in he was crying because I'm pretty sure he got the diagnosis that this is his life from now on. He can't even make noises now and can barely move his right foot. He's 64 years old. All because he didn't think he had to have check ups or listen to his doctor.

    This probably belongs in the old's thread but since we travel in my wife's car it's applicable here; we still keep the old foldable, paper maps in her car. When we get off the beaten path it's nice to know what your option are.

    Waze may be ok in the city but once you get rural hasn't been very reliable. I was calling on a lot of wind farms in the Panhandle and New Mexico a couple of weeks ago with a factory rep who used Waze. It tried sending us on all kind of out of the way routes, sometimes adding 50+ miles to the trip. It may be because of the smaller sampling groups in those areas but it was wonky at best.

    My son and I were eating lunch today and one of those "judge" shows was on at the deli. It had the typical cast of characters. It dawned on me that it would be more entertaining if the judge was a "Only law west of the Pecos" type, who might show up in court drunk or stoned and render verdicts and penalties/punishment following random thoughts and tangents that went through his/hers addled mind. The contestants would have to sign contracts agreeing to abide by the verdict. Anyone want to volunteer or nominate a the judge and suggest show parameters?

    Back to the topic at hand.....I was at a customers the other day and one of the guys was wearing a face covering. I thought maybe he was still worried about covid. But after a while he said he wanted to explain his covering and pulled out his phone to show pictures. His pit bull got into a fight with his other dog. He reached in to separate them and the pit turned on him. The pit stuck his snout in the guys mouth and latched on to his jaw. He broke his jaw and tore all the ligaments and muscle on his face. It looked like someone had taken a razor blade and sliced marionette lines under his mouth. Tore all his teeth out and left his jawbone just hanging down. He needs 6 surgeries and will never have full use of his jaw again. The pit won the battle but lost the war when they had to shoot him.

    Years ago we lived on a street with only 2 houses. I left the trashcan at the curb one Friday night and when I went to pull it to the house the next morning it was FULL of beer bottles and pizza boxes. It pissed me off so bad I put on a pair of shoulder length work gloves my company sold and dug through the trash until I found a flier with an address on it. I looked them up, called them and a kid answered. I told him I didn't appreciate him filling my trashcan and he hung up. I called him back and he stupidly answered the phone. I told him if he hung up again I would call Monday morning when his parents got back and tell them about the party they had while they were away. I was making stuff up but I must have been right, because he didn't hang up. Then I said if he came and emptied the trash can I'd let it slide. 30 mins later there were 4 16 yo kids out front picking up bottles from my trashcan.

    I think the real money in farming is defrauding the USDA. https://www.irs.gov/compliance/criminal-investigation/four-defendants-plead-guilty-in-11-point-5-million-fraud-case

    I've got a set of 1938 encyclopedia's in the attic. Germany's an economic success but some are having doubts about that Hitler fellow.

    I don't like to see people maimed and possibly killed but I almost always root for the bull. https://www.tmz.com/2023/07/27/messi-of-matadors-gored-by-1-100-lb-bull-during-show-in-spain/?adid=social-tws

    I've got 3 CZ's. I love my 75B. And my CZ 83 is a great carry gun. .380 I'ts good with the right ammo and it holds 14 rounds.

    My mother in law has done the exact same thing. He died 5 years ago but if you open his closet it looks exactly like it did then. My mom died when I was 14 in 1973. I still have her purse that we brought home form the hospital. All the content is exactly like it was when we brought it home, money included. My dad died 8 years later and I have the contents of his desk, including his scratch/ordering pads and even paper clips. I can't throw any of it away. My kids will have to do it after I'm gone.

    One thing olds do is laugh at the guys who make fun of us olds. We did the same thing when we were young. Then we became olds and do the same stuff we made fun of when we were young.

    Are you my son because this sounds like my wife.

    I told my kids I'm randomly hiding $100 bills in old books and boxes of junk. This will make up for them leaving all their stuff behind when they moved out and expecting me to store it for them.

    Was this what Tyson was trying to do to Holyfield, but decided to nibble on his ear instead? https://www.instagram.com/p/CusJUQvRIxH/

    I used to sell machine tooling and saw this coming years ago. Programmers write the functions, machinist just gage and change the tooling. I knew a couple of machinist who were trained by the navy in the 60's. They had to know how to make every part on the ship, either by blueprint or just measuring with a micrometer. Often on machines that were already 50 years old. They were true craftsmen. I ran into this problem last time I bought a Marlin 336. The 2nd shell always got hung up and failed to extract. I sent it in for repairs and it did the same thing when I got it back. QC was terrible. I traded it for a CZ and decided to never by a new Marlin product again.

    Brat, my dad was in the Aleutian campaign after he came out of First Special Service Forces training. Was your dad FSSF?
