You're not. Too easy to find a ride these days. Even in the civilian world. Save a $20 for a cab. Easy as pie.
Well, 11.5 hours worth of smoking and I'm ready to start the shredding. Pork smells awfully good tonight! Leftovers aren't likely......

Can't. None around here. Stupid southwest desert crap.
We have arrive alive cards, they have cab companies numbers on the back of them, you call the company, they come get you, then write your name on the card. No money then, but you go back and pay a few days later. Or, the duty will come get you, I'll come get you... something.

You watched a motel? You Alaskans are a weird bunch.

1991 - Hundreds of Iraqis were killed by two laser-guided bombs that destroyed an underground facility in Baghdad. U.S. officials identified the facility as a military installation, but Iraqi officials said it was a bomb shelter.
1997 - Astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery brought the Hubble Space Telescope aboard for a tune up. The tune up allowed the telescope to see further into the universe.

If you know someone who tries to drown their sorrows, you might tell them sorrows know how to swim.

I have 2 more to turn. Didn't do anything on them this weekend because I have yet another project I need to get out this week. I came up with a bandsaw tooth setter that is, a) manually operated, b) sets both the left and right tooth at the same time, and c) operates in parallel with the sharpener so you only have to mess with the blade once instead of 3 times, (once to sharpen, once to set the left side teeth and once again to set the right side teeth). No one else has ever came up with something like this and I have a guy/company in Oregon who might want to buy them once they see them and use them. The closest machine that will do all that is an automatic set up that costs over 5 grand and this will sell for $499 plus shipping. Just waiting for one more piece to arrive, which should be today, then I can paint, package and ship it off, hopefully by Wednesday or Thursday.
