Speaking of kids… You know I was a base brat for a while when the old man was at Lackland AFB. Parents divorced and my mom moved to Camp wood Texas… the closest Walmart was in Uvalde I been there so many times. Then Del Rio was just west of that were he would teach his open water certifications for PADI in Del Rio Lake… aka reservoir and pick up the duffle bags I’ve talked about and Leakey was north of that were Lackland had 10,000 acres of hunting property for the officers. Shit is gut wrenching man. Future of schools is gonna be like damn prisons man.

I have never done a full set of cabinets… I’ve fixed many and hung like 2 individual ones but never undertook a full cabinet job. Oh there’s no doubt I’ll bring it back to life.
So coroner just left with one of my favorite tenants. I joked a while back with a pic of her feet. Bob and I called her Toes. Like 3 of her toes on each foot curved up and over the ones beside them. It was actually pretty incredible how wretched they were. I don’t mean gross wretched I mean bent and mangled wretched. Well gross kinda but obviously osteoporosis or arthritis what have you. So ya EMS was here early and then coroner came just now with her covered on a stretcher. Kind of really sinks in when you see that. She was with hospice for 2 weeks then fell was in hospital for 3 days then back and actually walking with her lil stroller kinda like what Happy had. :joy: Then back in bed with hospice again. I changed out 2 lightbulbs for her last week and said hello. She was at her computer and totally with it. I did have to help her raise her computer chair she didn’t have enough strength to raise it up and stay stable. Her daughter has been here for like the last 2 weeks. At least it wasn’t unexpected but I honestly thought she’d pull through.

Just got back from top gun with the kid. Dude beside us by him self had an entire bottle of JD with him, he friggen smelled to high heaven. LoL you got a problem when your sneaking a 750 ml in the theatre man.
I think they forced the plot, had to come up with some kind of idea for a sequel. Tom cruise ejecting from a scramjet doing mach 10 had me a lil upset. That kind of shit just ruins it for me, the physics behind that is impossible. He’d be beyond a bug on a windshield. LoL

LOL, well granted I’m an old fart…but I refuse to go see a movie if CGI was involved…pure friggin cartoons…don’t have the time or money for that crap!!!

All the actors had to go through six months of flight training in that movie and all the flight scenes were filmed in real jets. I’m sure there’s some CGI in there for shit blowing up and such, but all the crazy flying stuff was done in in real planes.

Oh ya…the reason I went to see it was all the in cockpit filming. The navy charged $11, 000 /hr for seats in the super hornet whether it was a camera or person. Some bad ass dog fight scenes hands down. Just a lil far fetched dodging 6 SAMS under 1000’ … lol
I I didn’t want to ruin it for my son but I was just picking it apart in my head. Like flying 20’ of that canyon floor with your wingman 50’ behind you would kick rocks into his intake… ooh especially when a bird strike brings one down already… lol
Val killer got the entire theater clapping… he can’t speak ya know and looks horrible. But it was very :sob: IRL

So there are about 3 crews at the condo fixing all the temporary fencing on the balconies. This is to cover their asses no doubt & also very disconcerting. I feel somewhat bad for the woman’s family who will be suing having the company try and cover up their tracks man.


You can see workers on the 2nd and 4 th floors from the top

The green flag has dropped… The greatest spectacle in Racing has begun, who will kiss the bricks? Jimmy the old man Johnson is competing in his first Indy… pretty cool for the old coot. I personally feel that anything over 100/120 mph happens so fast that the smallest bobble is sketchy. I can’t for the life of me imagine more then double those speeds. I know Prey is a speed demon and surely has hit some big #'s but I have never been over 150 in a vehicle. And you know what… Now that I’m getting older and wiser - I’m okay with that!! LoL
