@Tripod - yeah, they make no sense at all. Current boat is 16 years old. I am diligent about maintaining and taking care these things. Hope this one last me 15 years.
Got a new money pit this weekend.
Then there's this.
Florida school shooting: Security footage was on 26-minute delay - CNN
Based on what the Sheriff said, it seems pretty clear that this badged and armed officer failed atrociously in his duties.
Another dagger in the hearts of the students, teachers, and parents.
Too many process failures before and during this entire event.
The 2nd Ammendment is what protects the 1st Ammendment...
I certainly recognize the line of thought that the second amendment protects us from a tyrannical government that could take away our first amendment rights. The first also helps to balance the second.
Essentially, these kids have their first amendment rights due in part to the second.
My post was a more direct comment to those questioning the sincerity and passion being expressed by the Parkland kids and the many others who are planning to walkout.
Defending one at the expense of the other doesn't make for a strong democracy either.
Read something this AM that resounded with me.
"People defending the 2nd amendment seem awfully scared of teenagers armed only with the 1st amendment."
People who are criticizing these kids, calling them actors with contrived emotions, the emerging conspiracy theories - just batshit crazy. Have you lost your humanity?
As a society, we are fast approaching an inflection point where we are going to have to admit to a hard honest truth.
We have too many guns in private hands and we will need to find solutions to addressing the all to common frequency of mass shootings in America.
I am a registered, responsible gun owner and want the opportunity to enjoy this sport.
But I can't be comfortable with seeing more innocent people slaughtered.
Intelligence, reasonableness, and flexibility will be needed if we are truely interested in changing this predominantly American phenomenon.
Interesting read:
AND “F” anyone who says lightsaber chopsticks aren’t cool... because they are!!
Just ordered me some new coolness. Awesome!
Ditto...done
I have been running the Welter Dual Exhaust System for 8 months and have zero issues. Love the exhaust.
Ditto - and we are running the 2.5" version.
... and a bigger gas tank.
@Orangeman - thanks for the videos.
SpaceX has been testing autonomous landing rockets for several years and its unfortunate the collective "we" haven't been paying more attention to their work.
Starting to think Elon Musk is going to be the Thomas Edison of our time.
Happy Birthday Erica! Once you get through this week's hangover you get to start again next week for Valentine's Day! You got February covered.
Enjoy the day!
There was an interview with Elon Musk this morning pre launch. He wasn’t completely sure it wouldn’t blow up during launch. He was really stressed about it. Wonder what he knows that we don’t
There were a number of "firsts" all being tried at the same time today. A high level of risk across the board.
It's basically in orbit for 6 hours (to demonstrate the ability to drop off a payload) and will reignite to head for the Mars orbit. A lot could still go wrong.
The two boosters returning and landing simultaneously was a like a movie special effect. Impressive stuff. Definitely seemed like they were proudly showing off their capabilities.
Congrats to the Space-X team.
And the "Don't Panic" message on the entertainment screen in the Tesla was funny.
About 10 years ago, was out on a group bicycle ride. Had three deer come out of the woods and start running down the side of the road parallel to us on our right. They tried to speed up and out run us but quickly decided to turn left into the line of cyclists. Took down one of the riders towards the front of the line who didn't see the deer coming. Crazy stuff.
So, the question I have is when can I send you a custom job request?!?!
P.S. When I first get going I can smell a faint burning smell. Never smell it again after the first bit. No leaking fluids. Everything under the hood looks good. Anything to be concerned about? All recalls have been performed except for grommet inspection.
possibly the clutch? - if I slip mine too much it definitely creates a smell.
I have been considering a Tundra as well. A lot to like about them. Hard to believe they can't improve the mpg rating though.
That 1st SS is still my all time favorite Slingshot - totally awesome!
Totally agree.
