Hey mark! Glad you're doing well!

I'll never forget 9.11.01, I remeber where I was at the time of the first part of the attack and what preople around me said. A very tragic day for all of the US, I still keep all of those effected in my prayers.

Yes, a terrible time, but the spark of patriotism that followed was almost worth it, God rest the souls that perished. I wish America could be like that without tragedy.

I think I would go to that shop and tell the guy just what you said above. Let HIM make the decision as to which direction you take with him.






Morning all.

Today is Sunday, September 12th.

On this day in 1814 - During the War of 1812, the Battle of North Point was fought in Maryland.

1873 - The first practical typewriter was sold to customers.

1914 - The first battle of Marne ended when the allied forces stopped the German offensive in France.

1918 - During World War I, At the Battle of St. Mihiel, U.S. Army personnel operate tanks for the first time. The tanks were French-built.

1922 - The Episcopal Church removed the word "Obey" from the bride's section of wedding vows. It's all been downhill since then.

1938 - In a speech, Adolf Hitler demanded self-determination for the Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia.

1943 - During World War II, Benito Mussolini was taken by German paratroopers from the Italian government that was holding him.

1944 - U.S. Army troops entered Germany, near Trier, for the first time during World War II.

1974 - Violence occurred on the opening day of classes in Boston, MA, due opposition to court-ordered school "busing."

1980 - Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini listed four conditions for the release of American hostages taken on November 4, 1979. The conditions were the unfreezing of Iranian assets, the return of the shah’s wealth to Iran, the cancellation of U.S. claims against Iran, and a U.S. pledge of noninterference in Iran’s internal affairs.

1994 - Frank Corder was killed when he crashed a stolen, single-engine Cessna on the South Lawn of the White House.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.


Cffee, tea and ph is ready. No donuts, you're all getting too fat.

That's why labs need to sleep in the same room with their owners!

You forgot one Scott...
On this day in 2001, the Sleeping Giant awoke.

I think a Zunt is when when the wire gozunto the welding gun, but then you have no go. Most common causes, old welding tip, not checking the spool capacity or popping a breaker, or being too lazy to clean off the rust and paint.

Coffees on, nutty dunkers on the table. Dragon's been stoked for the day.

Interesting theory on the common causes, however, actual cause, as Scott can tell you, is a short between the shoulder and the holder.

Yep. I didn't think to check the wire, I figured the dude that owned it would know...


Mornin, fellas. Leg is a little sore this morning, using some muscles I have not used for a long time. Funny, I have to kinda learn how to walk again after only 30 days, can't imagine what it would be like if I had something really bad happen...

Ok. Gonna eat something and get ready for church. See ya'll.

Mark, good to hear you got your legs back.

Pistol, maybe give the Lab a time out for a few days in a crate.

Usually between the shoulder and the head. The OPERATORS head!

Afternoon everybody from Paradise. Our rainy season started late and slow, but it is starting to look like it is catch up time as we had a lots of rain the last part of last week. Looks like it is thinking about more rain. Sure hope not as I want to do some work on my fiver and don't have place to bring it indoors.

Heard something good today that I will share with y'all. The reason a dog is a man's best friend is that he wags his tail and not his tongue. (gossips)
