i was in a hit and run, muched on one too many zannies or norco i guess.

skipped off the side of a new dodge dually, i veered into oncoming traffic. his driver wheel was on his engine. i mean i hoped he was ok, but i wasnt sticking around. there were other peiple around to tend to him..i tended to me and not getting arrested.
my steel bodied truck won .my widow blew up in my face, git some minor cuts, a few bruises. but i was pretty gone so i didnt get injured most likely and didnt feel shit.

We've always used Hayward equipment. Variable pumps haven't caught on here yet, as elect.ricity is still (kinda) affordable. I don't think it makes much difference who you go with, just like everything else these days, everything is fucking garbage. Planned obsolescence in the swimming pool industry is what keeps my seasonal ass afloat lol.

That was such a non-helpful answer I think you should send me princess pics :) OK that was the best excuse I could come up with

I think I'll go VF because of the electrical savings although I'm seriously considering putting two pumps inline, a low horse circulator and a high horse primer for initial system load and spa. Luckily I have time to ponder so I'll probably do it in November. Thanks!

How do you not pose a threat of you're not vaxed and contract measles or whooping cough and pass it to other non vaxed folks and then we see a re emergence of otherwise eradicated diseases?

I'm not an anti-vaxer but I am judicious in my selection of vaccines and time table. I think the current pediatric vaccine schedule is a bit aggressive. Then again they are predicated upon non-nursing women, so I think it should be more of a decision tree.

I am also with @tangerinegreen555 and do not get vaccinations for flu or pneumonia. I want as much exposure to the actual organisms now (the actual challenge builds better and longer lasting immunity). However once my health devolves I will take the speculative vaccines. But right now if you have flu/pneumonia, kiss me :) Oh and the more your immune system is challenged the better it works. I think all these bacteriostatic products should be stopped. We earned our right to live here so let's not foolishly turn our backs on our commensals.

At the end of the day I'm not sure there is any absolute right or wrong, you do the best you can do in the moment. I let my kids drink in front of me. I'm sorry for your loss. Loss just sucks.

I think murder is worse. I've never heard of justifiable murder, they'd say justifiable homicide. At least that state isn't white washing, it is murder

I remember admitting a guy onto my service during my time in burn. He was charged with involuntary! He killed a mom and kid. It's amazing but the state values an adult more than a kid, kid's earnings are to speculative. I was very careful not to follow up on how his case went.

^^^^^
This!!!

You said it SO much better than I did. Now I am reduced again to that kid in school when, feeling she did a pretty good job, looks over at her neighbor's paper and it's so much AWESOMER than hers. But since I love you C2 the G I can let this blow to my self esteem slide.

Thank you. The driver was charged with it. They won't see light of day for a while.

I got some neices and nephews that are at that age of drinking and doing stupid things.

One came to me and said he wanted to try beer in a safe supervised setting. I'm having a hard time saying yes but I don't think I can say no.

Aww 2727 just read back a few pages. I am so sorry to hear that. Glad they were caught. sending them all (and you) good thoughts during the inevitable emotional aftermath. It's really rough to lose someone in such a senseless way. But skip that left turn down the guilt road thinking about what you did behind the wheel back in the day. You can't change the past, but sound like you are being pro active with your nieces and nephews going forward, and that's the best that can come out of any bad judgement you had on the matter. Chin up man. :hug:

Defects were probably in the raw wood...Stain.brought them out a little, polyurethane a lot...add diffused lighting and you have horrible.
Fuck...another step back...
It's amazing how finishing wood brings out every tiny fucking thing...not the first time.
I will be inspecting the raw cabinet grade stuff a lot closer going forward.
Fuck.

Today's wood and paneling is shit. It all comes from China, every piece has fine chatter all over it...
The chatter shows up after finishing it... I made some small shelves from 50 yr. old plywood stored above garage. The wood quality was far better than today's...

This shit was handling damage from somewhere.

A teenage Chinese worker in a plywood factory in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone fell to their death after being overcome by formaldehyde fumes. That mark is the third bounce.

Probably why paneling was on sale for $9.99 a pack the other day at Busy Beaver...

You don't even get a choice to buy American these days. I can't afford to start my own wood mill.
