Scheiss Meister

Dnaguy covered it well. This method should save you money over the long haul.

My Stingray had a higher sissy bar and was burnt orange, but otherwise that's my bike. Between the time I was 6 and 14 I bet I put 20,000 miles on that bike. Damn, those were the days. My buddies and I would get going down a hill and use the deep dip at the cross street as a jump. A really good jump took you too far, onto a gravel part of the street, and was an almost certain wipeout. I think I still shed gravel from that road today.

My go to DPS office was Brenham, since it's less than 30 miles from my house and much less busy than Bryan or Hempstead. Unfortunately, a murderous asshole in an 18 wheeler put paid to that. I bet they keep the building as a HQ for the troopers, but close the licensing part.

Hey, don't be dissing my theme song!

I like your thinking, but alas, this was an electrician who was not under my supervision. Those who were under my supervision had learned discretion by this time. Of course, cleaning out sump pumps and such was part of that process.

Don't forget that Dr. Fauci had the temerity to contradict their orange diety when he said stupid shit like the government should experiment on people by injecting bleach or Lysol into them. The Fauci-haters that I worked with mainly objected, and I quote one of them directly, "He thinks he's smarter than the President. He can't contradict the President!"

Yep, that looks like it's worth hunkering down through the winter for.

"Ditch pig, twat waffle, cunt faced, Neanderthal looking bitch" is my preferred nomenclature.

I guess I should stop calling him Sideshow Bob now.

It's fake as shit. That color guard would be at the White House or somewhere else in Washington, and the music would be the Marine Corps Band. If they were to sound like that, they'd be hung, drawn, and quartered, then sent to Diego Garcia to finish their enlistments.

The choice between decency and evil, democracy and dictatorship are as binary as one can get. There is no reasonable disinterest or neutrality here. Everything else can be fixed if Biden wins, but will be permanently set in stone if Trump does. But the ignorant will do what they will and let others clean up the avoidable mess.

If one being evil and doing terrible shit doesn't make the choice of the other easy, one must accept and be comfortable with the evil and terrible. Contemplate what that means about the character of the one who will choose evil and terrible by standing by and doing nothing to stop it.

If you're on that bridge you do not want to hear a little Chinese kid say, "Hang on, lady. We're going for a ride."

Love the new name.

Convicted felon Donald J. Trump has such a nice ring to it. I honor and applaud bolverk's fine work and all of the additions, but right now I'm going to savor the simple elegance of Convicted felon Donald J. Trump.

When we do give Ukraine permission to use our supplies on Russian soil, I hope that we don't say anything about it. Let Ukraine announce it by HIMARSing the shit out of the Russian artillery that's been pounding the Kharkiv area. Let Ukraine have the element of surprise on their side for once.

The look on the judge's face is priceless! The look of realization on the defendant's face is almost as good. You can hear the record scratch in his head.

I decided to retire when multiple factors crystallized to make my decision easier. Like you mentioned, my motivation was flagging, and I started noticing that my thinking was slowing down. I had adjusted to the stress of the job for several years, then it started to grind on me again. I would work all week, then be sick or exhausted the entire weekend. I'd start feeling like I had some energy just in time to start the shit all over again. The added stress of my mother-in-law and father-in-law both declining from dementia and stomach cancer respectively wore even more. I was exhausted all the damn time. I had other projects that I wanted to finish, but being passed over for a promotion and having my workload doubled at the same time made it clear that it was time to go. I stayed two months to finish a major report and finish training others on my job, then retired. It was the best decision that I have made in a long, long time. I am another person. I'm not sick all the time, and I have time to spend with my dad in his twilight. We're not rich, but we're able to pay the bills and have a little left for some fun. Honestly, I should have retired five years before I did.

Same with me, but here we are.

Which I will be more than happy to desecrate.

Lately I can't say a complete sentence without my wife interrupting. I've just stopped trying to communicate, other than the most basic things. She don't want to hear, she don't have to hear.

I swear that I heard the turtle say, "Where are you going?! I was going to make espresso!"

From your lips to God's ears.

If it's radiating, it can be found and destroyed. Just a matter of getting the right weapon in the right place.

I'll admit that I may be mistaken, but that is what happened to my mother in law and father in law. He had time in the Navy and other employment that predated the changes in SS during the Reagan admin, so he received his SS retirement benefits. She was a teacher the entire time and could not receive SS survivor benefits.
