  1. So does anyone else have an automatic blood pressure cuff on or within reach of the kitchen table?

    I thought you were singing about this...
  3. Completely understand. I still like having cash in my pocket even though I usually charge everything from a store. There's still a lot of guys who like to be paid in cash and will deal with you on the cost of work/things.
  4. Must be an old guy thing. Most guys I know keep a wad of cash on hand for emergencies. Myself included.
  5. Same here. I get all kinds of deals paying cash. I don't really care if my mechanic pays tax on it if he knocks 30% off the deal.

    When I got my first "finger" exam, my fairly young, female urologist said " Now comes the unpleasant part, please bend over". I told her that the most unpleasant part was probably her view.

    When I was 14, I weighed 300 lbs. As soon as I started playing HS football I dropped 60. In college I hit 185. 45 years later I'm at 190. I watched a lot of family gain weight and die of weight related problems. If you put on 3 lbs a year, in 20 years your 60 lbs overweight, so my goal is to stay close to the same weight as I age. I don't stick to any specific workout or diet, I just do what I feel like to keep my weight constant. A lot of walking and old man (light) weights now.
  8. Lol. I just not fond of Snyder. And there are some amazing views when you get off the beaten path if you like high plains and vista's. Highway 207,from Post to I40 has some great scenery as do a lot of the highways up there. They're just not the quickest way to get anywhere. Last time I came back from Panhandle I saw 3 cars in 60 miles and I got to drive through the southern end of Palo Duro canyon.
  9. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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?
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. He didn't die but he's going to need a couple new holes patched up. And I'm with you
  20. 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
  21. "You'll shoot your nuts off, kid".
  22. 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.
