  1. The pandemic was just the push I needed to do what I should have done long ago. I used to enjoy going to the gym, but more and more, I find it an exercise in frustration. Mostly, the frustration stems from inconsiderate slobs who can't be bothered to put weight back where they belong, can't seem to bring themselves to wipe down benches and machines when they're done, and park themselves on machines between sets with ear buds plugged into their heads so they can conveniently ignore anyone who might ask to work in. Anyway, my wife and I had the discussion about investing in a home gym, so I went looking. And I think I scored big time. Checking on a local classified site, I found a unit for sale in virtually brand new condition for less than half the retail price. So today, I borrowed my son in law's truck and my grandson, and we made the one hour drive to check it out. I took the cash with me, because I was pretty certain I was going to come home with it. It was in a small storefront wellness clinic. The proprietor had bought it thinking his clients would make use of it, but it almost never got used, so he decided to sell it. Anyway, I pulled the trigger, and my grandson and I disassembled it and brought it home. Now I have to move some furniture and other crap out of the basement so I can set it up. The machine is a Hoist V4 Elite, which retails at just about $4,000 Canadian.

  10. I like Bend nice enough. Really nice park system. Lots of outdoor stuff. You don't have to check the weather because it's going to be pretty nice. I just don't have the friend network here that I have back in Portland. I miss our long time friends. Plus I can go into the office a few times a week & kibbutz with them. Bend was always WoScraprs place. She loved it. It's just not the same without her

  11. That's good news... generally that is not the case. I had to use Google... I learned something today. I can stop now... The expression 'Scot-free' originates from the Scandanavian word, 'Skat,' which means “tax” or “payment.” The word mutated into 'scot' as the name of redistributive taxation meant to provide relief to the poor during the 10th century. Someone who did not have to pay the tax for some reason was referred to as 'scot-free.'

  13. When I was a kid, one next door neighbor rented out their house and several families were living in it. They had numerous cars & felt the street in front of their house was their parking so would yell at my oldest brother not to park there. My brother repeatedly told them to F’ off. Well one night somebody broke into his car, put in in neutral, released the brake and pushed it down the street. My brother was pissed but never said a word about revenge. However a few nights later someone punctured all 4 tires on every one of their cars. Someone also shimmied up the power line & cut the power to their house. It took the power company a couple of days to repair the damage. Oh and did I mention my brother was a linesman for a power company? The parking fued ended after that...

  18. I have yet to see a grizzly in the wild..., but did face down a polar bear coming towards me. I didnt bother with the spray, but fired a couple rounds into the ground in front of him. He paused and looked at me and I was thinking "okay, that was two..., I have 43 left. 42 for him and one for me." When he turned and went back the way he came I was a happy camper. He was 32 feet away (i went back and measured the distance in the tracks in the snow)

  19. So you bought a mental exercise machine. Wouldn't a 1200 piece puzzle have been less expensive. As always, expect at least one piece to be missing.

  26. Getting ready to leave for last week's camping trip, found both RV batteries dead, and wouldn't charge plugging in the camper. And after using a battery charger, no +12V to the RV. Lots of cussing and diagnosing, found the tiny circuit breaker under the frame. It worked, the fridge in the RV was working for the whole drive, we plugged in at the campsite. Got home, left everything hooked up since I need to move it back in the yard. After sitting for 2 days, both RV batteries AND the truck battery are dead. That's with the fridge turned off. Something is draining the batteries! Get out the multimeter to figger this out. The battery in the multimeter is dead. Who invented this electricity stuff? They needed to do it better.

  28. My son & SIL, shoot even my wife didn’t realize how big a football fan I was before the Rams left and I lost interest. I was all about the NFL as a kid into my late 20’s. We were talking about not having a Manning in the NFL for the first time in 22 years and they never knew their dad was an NFL QB.... Kids....

  29. OK so I know a thing or two on this matter... Cutie as a brand used to be part of the POM Wonderful company. They ownership had a falling out and the new owners kept the name but not the orchards. Cutie now outsources their fruit through several other orchards and many believe the quality has dipped since. The old Cutie fruit is now Halo.

  30. The public doesn't understand "murder". As far as they are concerned if someone is killed there should be a murder charge. Ignorance of the law is an issue in some riots.
