I live about a mile past the end of the Rose Parade route, and many of the neighbors are out in the street before the parade waiting for the B2 to pass....this year it flew by at the lowest level, ever. Basically on the deck. Stunning. Then he got on the blast and loudly peeled over the San Gabriel mountains headed to Edwards AFB to hang and wait for the bowl.

High or hungover?

This is the most entertaining thread....

My brother.... Taught me how to hover above the cow patties in Hana and eat the shrooms right off of them so you wouldn't lose any spores.... Returned home from a business trip and was told by his newlywed wife " I got rid of those stanky old dried up mushrooms in the freezer"....2 pounds, into the trash.

Worst fucking footwear i ever bought....falling apart in 3 weeks. seriously. Picked up a pair on non-US Vasque in Switzerland 3 years ago that are doing well. Bought 2 more pair for the future.

What it made of hemp? That's the line I was referring to.

Patagonia has a new line of heavy duty work stuff...

True, and their quality shows it. They've also discontinued a lot of their blue collar work stuff, and jacked the prices up so as to be one of those "exclusive" outfits. Shame, I've been wearing their stuff for decades (as well as Chouinard ). They basically don't carry anything that I'm interested in...used to live in their double tin shorts.

It was just a democracy...the toll will be unknown for years.

Yeah, I need to walk that back....from a sc reporter, from a recruit. I like it here, don't ban me....

Just the messenger....

He did....

Local Total sold out it's allotment of EHT barrel in an hour and a half....

Which would have made her 9 years old in 1968. Not many 9 year olds were out protesting and hippying.

I was there in August....the Timken Bearing factory is still open. What blew me away was the yard sales - people where selling everything . Furniture, beds, cars, snow blowers, everything. Was really sad to see.

So the 100 proof is 10 dollars? Out here 1920 is $53 @ Total...so I figure $14 bucks is a fair price for the 100 proof.

Costco (California) has a OF combo pack - 100 proof & 1920 for $67.00

Actually, this one didn't have a badge....

agreed....

Would be a very rare skillet....they're cast.

Please excuse my constitutional ignorance - does not the Senate vote on the outcome of the impeachment trial? If so, I wouldn't characterize the involvement as "doing nothing".

And jurors don't do anything?

Wrong demographic. All in the Family.

I went to the LA County fair after the restoration of 4014 was announced but before any activity had commenced on her. 4014 was one of many large engines on display at the Rail Giants museum. There were a few people looking at the engine at the time. Going up the wooden staircase to the cab, I saw and met a gentleman in the engineers seat. This was Paul. Paul had taken it upon himself to keep the running gear , including bearings, lubricated over the previous decades. It was his work that made 4014 such a good candidate for restoration. There were other Big Boys around the country that had boilers in better shape, but the running gear of 4014 was in the best shape of all the remaining locos. Paul spent about an hour explaining all the gauges, dials, valves and levers to me. Let me stick my head in the massive fire box, which had lights illuminated inside. When I mentioned how bittersweet the locomotive leaving his care must be, a tear welled up in his eye and he got quite emotional. I tried to cheer him up by pointing out how many people would get to see the huge locomotive run, and he nodded in acknowledgment, but his lips were tight, not smiling. It was an amazing experience for me. Weird, the room got a bit dusty as I typed this.

Wow! Best yet....awesome backlighting of the cab.
