A few years back, I got tired of buying GPS units. I had bought 3 handheld outdoor units and one Tom Tom for the vehicle. I bought a $60 track phone that has Google Play Store, good internal gps chips, and micro sd expansion. I never activated the phone part, disabled all of that part. Downloaded a few apps with offline maps and made a nice little unit. SYGIC app for road travels and Earthmate for topos, aerials, and a backup road map. Works like a charm and good battery life. Music on it for the blue tooth speaker. But, I keep Delorme Atlas as a backup in the truck and Company Rig for navigation. Most areas I go, ATT does not provide enough signal to keep up.

The Numnuts that called me at 9:30 Friday to tell me that he was running late for his 8:00 appt. trying to see if I still had time for him called me again today. "I forgot about the time change, are we still on for 9?" It was 9:15. Some have no sense of time, schedules, or appts.

If I was him, I would go to her part of the house for that part. No need to streak up his toilet.

St Louis has always had its bad spots. I took my young daughter to a funeral of a neighbor in the Ferguson area pre Mike back in the early 00's. We had some looks, only whites around beside the widow. He was a worker for USPS and retired to my area, great guy. Cancer took him shortly after retirement. As a kid, I run the pawn shops with my Uncle and spent alot of time in the seedy areas. You can find some good food there if you have the balls. Soulard area was sketchy back then.

Missed the colors. Too many frosts this week. And down here its a 22 magnum or .17 now. We are civilized deer poachers.

I thought this was about Race. Is the MAN always wrong seemed like a problem with authority and law enforcement. Women only got a rib out of a man. The rest was made up out of something entirely different. I always wondered if there was a nut part there too in that creation.....

Choked up motor on a river in TN this weekend. Floated into a sweeper with the 17' jet boat out of control. Limb loaded up and unloaded on my cheek. Knocked one lens out of my prescription eyewear. I learned my eyes were better than I thought without my nearsighted eyewear. Drove back with no issues. Almost lost an eye. Blood spotted the white pretty bad. Knocked me pretty hard. Radiation jacked with my vision and I had not been in for a visit for 5 years waiting for things to equalize. Monday visit showed my vision has improved. Age has reshaped my cornea to the better, my prescription was less than previous, a surprise. I have always used glass lens with Photogrey tint. Glass has the best optical clarity and is more scratch resistant. I work outside and fish/hunt. I can wipe mud and sand off the lenses and not really worry about the scratches. I am married to the Wally World Family, my Discount gave me a new pair and exam for less than $300. Just have a 12 day wait. I repaired and updated frames on some old lenses that I had retired as damaged to get by. Spent another $30 on that and now have a Amber pair of sunglasses again and a semi functional pair of normal photogrey.

How is that?

You need a wood splitter and a bucket to carry the wood around. Maybe a trailer too. Don't forget a plow and a disk or a cultivator, gonna have to plant alot of turnips to get thru the Brandon years. Depression coming soon.

I don't think he had time to think that one up.

Johnny has not changed. The whole goal of business is to make money. And he has.

And because of the outcome of those cases, the ones that enforce the laws are really forced to look the other way. If they still have a job due to budget cuts by the Mayor. There are those who care, but are throttled by public opinion. They are helpless to enforce the law of the land. If they try, they face prosecution. Not many thugs respond to "Hey, Stop, Give UP." That only happens in the movies.

North of Johnson Shut Ins? That area got whacked when the first dam at Taum Sauk busted. Ran down the hill north of the park and flooded everything. Big scour field now.

Hard to see there, did it make it to Cartliage or bone? Skin cancer was what I figured I was at the best risk for, never knew my tongue would be a target. What did biopsy reveal?

Good for her. Looks like MDC may have put a few in.

ET Tonite on CBS is seeing some issues. Since Alec Baldwin is the producer, he is fully responsible for safety on the set. The little multi-color hair girl may be in play. Someone was shooting beer cans with the guns to pass the boredom on the set. Plot thickens. Gun expert seemed to verify my thoughts. Why Was There A Loaded Gun On The Set?
-
But you have to hike to see best parts. Mdc has Pickle Spring that is just as nice, but its a trail too.
-
They made a gentle ramp around most of it. You still have to go off trail to take photo ops of the balancing rocks. Pickle Spring and Hahn State Park is close too. Should be nice this time of year.

Arcadia and Ironton are almost the same town. Stay at Fort Davidson Motel in the center of it all. Don't forget Elephant Rocks, Fort Davidson and Pilot Knob Civil War site. Baylee Joe's BBQ has some Cajun Food that you may find a taste for. Council Bluff Lake is a pretty stop. Silver Mines, Marble Creek, and the drive thru from Ironton to Fredricktown on E Hwy should be great right now. Loop around back on 72 to Ironton. Go see Arcadia Sporting Goods and CStore for the largest collection of guns in the area. Lots to do there.

I still like the Arkansas Bench stones and honing oil. I do have a multitude of sharpeners. But the seasonal one that I pull out for the sharpening of the knives is the stones. Finish them off to shave in leather hone strops. I have V sticks for the scissors and kitchen knives or a metallic stick. I keep some dog bone style ceramics in the truck and kit boxes for touchups. I have one of the Worksharp Guided Field Sharpeners for quick edges, its a combo tool with grit, ceramic, and leather and 20 degree angle guides. -
Or maybe did not respond to the original pains that caused all of the joint damages. Pain is your bodies way of telling you something is wrong. Did anyone mention a calcium issue? All of that damage and kidney stones would seem to make me think about that and I never got past pre med. Obviously, you were on a factory floor doing alot of repetitive motion.

Cmon, let it roll. No name calling or politics yet. Just trying to figure out "why" a live round was on a movie set. Should have been safety issue number 1. And Alec Baldwin has showed his cards as being a violent, self centered person that thinks he should be treated better than others just because he is an actor. Con men in prison are better actors.
-
Good cash boost for the campaign fund. I want to see the need for a live round on a movie set. Is a "cold gun" one that does not even have a blank in it?
-
Why did they have live rounds on a TV set? I want to see the reason there was a live round near any of those idiots. I never played cowboys and indians around the house with my real guns. I used them non firing things that may have shot caps.

I skipped the hydrocodone for the most part. It will mess with your system. Its a buzz that you can't control. And screw up alot of other things like bowels, memory, and teeth or bones. I could tolerate most of my pain by just sleeping thru it. Or dealing with it during waking hours. I could hit mine with topical numbing meds with Lidocane when it was needed.
