I keep mine with me in case I need emergency help. I use it to play games when I'm on the ... throne. Other than that, I rarely deal with it.

AOL. We take advantage of the free/low cost benefits of AOL and due to that, it works well for us. I've got my "E-mail Preferences" set to "contact only", so I don't get anything spam-like on it. At work, we have an internal system linked to ".edu", so I don't get much garbage on that either.

It will happen. Hopefully, when AI takes over, it will be less destructive than "The Matrix" or "Terminator" ... but probably not. I think Asimov's "I Robot" was as good a prediction as ever. Unfortunately, AI will take over before we have self aware super-capable robots to help us. We're likely doomed.

Sorry for your damage, but glad to see you didn't suffer more severe losses.

Beautiful music from "Tron: Legacy" https://youtu.be/-gKrIBR83b8?si=pfsVcD-_8Q7zIAoC

Not a trout guy or a salmon guy. Not a salt water guy, either. Quite happy fishing my local ponds, rivers and lakes. It's just fishing for me. A hobby like many other hobbies I have. I wouldn't travel across the country to find wood working shops. Won't travel just for fishing spots. That said, work and military have taken me to all 50 United States and 18 different countries ... so my "need to travel" days are behind me.

Sooooooo ... refilling this thing would be <somehow> easier than refilling a fly box? What, the fly WANTS to be in the spinner so badly it jumps right off the vise into it? The guy in the picture isn't even wearing one ... it's a badly cut/paste of the image at the top. Oh, wait ... You could get several. Then use them to roll down hillsides to quickly get to the water.

Heard this for the first time about 4 years ago. Earwormed it's way into my day and had to listen to it again. Got a little bit of everything in it. https://youtu.be/sJ1eZe88keg?si=Jcav97kLApF9KB-N

Great paint work, Steve!

Yeah, that's a pretty one. Very nice work on the grips.

New Pistol for Precision Shooting
mikechell replied to cencalfly's topic in Hunting and firearms & Archery discussion
The most precision shooting I do is racoons and grackles in the yard. I use an air rifle as regular ammo is too loud for the neighborhood. Plus, a miss with a pistol might end up in someone's window or worse. If I could find a reasonably priced air pistol that can kill a raccoon ... I might go for that. -
Thank you, Steve. I don't think you've got room on any of the walls for them! If they don't sell, I was thinking that they'd go to you, but again ... room? I can't post them on FaceBook ... it goes against their rule for weapons. I've listed them on "Nextdoor", but I don't think I'll get a response.

Don't get me wrong, I am not rude to those who say the words. But I truly believe most of them are just saying the words. They don't even know what they're thanking you for. You can see it in their faces ... it's a courtesy. Okay, fine. I nod and move on. I've thanked a few veterans, but I stop to talk to them for a few minutes. Let them know that there is knowledge behind the words. Vic, there are three kinds of humans. Friends/family ... Wife and I like these types. They've proven they're not ignorant of real life and that they're worth our friendship. Acquaintances ... These are people who've made themselves known to us and have not betrayed the common sense requirement. They're worth talking to and to be given the chance to become friends. This category includes most of the humans on this site. People ... The majority of the world. We don't know them. Many of them prove, daily, that we don't WANT to know them. They make themselves known to us with their ignorance and worthlessness. These are the people we hate ... happily and vigorously. Some of them might become acquaintances, but most of them won't be given the chance. I'd be happy to spend time on a boat or wading a shallow with you ... and anyone else on here. We do not have a "guest room" though, so it's a hotel for any visitors.
