  1. I see them in my front yard every day just before sunset. i was thinking about building a bat house to see if I could attract more. They help with the Florida skeeters. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  2. Yeah +1 i wear Gatorz now and love them. I had some Solar Batz that had the gasket in them. they would fog up, make my face sweat and generally annoy the shit out of me. I ripped out the gasket and they worked fine. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

    I was hanging out with him yesterday watching canopies bounce around in the wind. We decided not to jump. I have not seen him post anything on here for a while. I will ask him why. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

    Unions

    Yeah.. they care nothing about apprenticeships, training to journeymen’s skill levels or any of that useless master craftsmen knowledge in your world view It’s far better to hire Juan and his crew.. they have such exacting homebuilding skills and codes in Tiajuana Not every non-union company is hiring Juan and paying sub standard wages. And I have personally had my product sabataged by union workers in Atlantic City. The union at the meat packing company my brother worked at was VOTED OUT BY IT'S OWN MEMBERS. I guess the democratic voting process was not recognized by the union. They sent picketers to every restaurant that was still using the company until they drove them out of business by scaring off all the customers. Another small business driven out by the union organized crime. The facts are a hell of a lot of them are. There needs to be a balance, get rid of the organized crime in some of the unions.. and retain the good parts of the unions that a lot of you who hate anything that even sounds like a union. I grew up in /Detroit and my first 2 jobs were union. Hell my Dad is retired from the DOD and my Mom is a retired Teamster. So I was not always anti-union. My business is located in Florida where union shops are few and far between compared to Detroit. I just do not understand why the union workers think that they "own" certain cities or areas. Even going as far as to threaten non-union workers with physical harm and sabataging equipment and work done by non-union companies. i pay a fair wage and I quote jobs all over the country. Why do I have to pay a local union electrician to stay at the mall overnight while we install a sign in case I need to plug in an extension cord?? We are a Certified Electrical Sign Contractor. I think my guys are perfectly capapble of plugging in extension cords. Sorry for the rant I just think the original need and concepts of the union have gotten lost. I guess anytime large amounts of cash are involved that is what will happen. Still love you though Jeanne

  7. What ever happened to having beers and talking while looking one in the eye?
  8. And If -I- can't afford to live on $8 per hour and the only jobs in town are being taken up by idiots too fuckin' stupid to hold out for a higher wage, then why shouldn't I try to rally some folks together in an attempt to get a more reasonable wage? Don't just assume it's all some kind of con game by the union leadership. There IS power in numbers and even if Ikea had to pay people in the US the equivalent pay of those in Sweden, they'd -still- come out on top because they wouldn't be incurring overseas shipping charges and import taxes. Honest to god, why would anyone work for minimum wage? Oh yeah, that's right, because for the company to pay you less, it would be illegal. It is called "freedom of choice", only in libertarian lalaland. out in the real world unions (free association) aren't seen as the enemy... Right and when a company votes the union out BY A DEMOCRATIC vote of the member/employees and the union pickets that companies customers until they force said company out or business They're not the enemy??

  13. I agree. I'm not sure what the price of an upgraded Otter goes for these days, but a super otter (-34's or similar) is a sweet machine and the gold standard for a reason. There are other planes that are a lot of fun (tailgates etc) but for every day jumping... I think an under 15 min to altitude Twotter beats them all. +1 I would buy a Super Otter You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

  20. If you have to meet in the middle, a twelve-pack of the good-high-octane stuff is the better choice rather than a case of stuff no one will drink It's too bad the last shuttle wasn't visible, though I believe that is the only kind Normiss will purchase Now if Skymama went to the store for beer.........on nevermind that ain't gonna happen You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
