General Discussion / $500B for about 300M people.
« on: March 18, 2020, 04:09:35 PM »
So now they are saying each person may get a different amount in two checks: April and May. Not beyond, of course.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / All set for all kinds of fishing this spring
« on: February 21, 2020, 03:50:18 PM »
I've changed my practice from carrying a lot of different poles to just carrying one.
But I'll take along a lot of reels with different lines, so I can switch them back and forth onto this one pole.
Crappies? Yup. Got a reel with a line for that.
Bass? Got one for that, too.
Carp? Got one for that. Same one I'll be using for cats and buffaloes, pikes and even sturgeons.
No need to carry bulky stuff.

Movies / Yuen Biao's "KungFu Master"
« on: February 04, 2020, 06:03:58 PM »
Great action.
Just saw it yesterday on youtube. But it's real cool. Great actions from start to finish with very little dialoguing.

General Discussion / Hmong flea market
« on: January 28, 2020, 11:42:40 AM »
I have an hour and a half free around 11:30 today, so I decided to go to the Hmong flea market.
Lots of interesting things here. Crossbows from Laos, machetes from Thailand—all Hmong-made. Chinese coins of the 12 animals. Darn, a noose spring-pole bird trap for $5.00? Who’s buying that? We can make them here with much better parts.
Those are the only things I have looked at so far. Going to the food court now.
And, darn, why must they call me back to work so soon! Hour and a half isn’t up yet.
Be back here in April.

General Discussion / If you run into shootings on the road, do what this guy did.
« on: January 11, 2020, 10:43:50 PM »
At 0:20 mins, his car appears from the oncoming traffic. The minute he heard the gun shots, he backed away right away but did not stay on the lane he had just come from; instead, he backed through the other lane. This avoids being hit by cars that are coming behind him.
Stay far away from the battle. It's not your battle.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / What actions do you prefer for a rod?
« on: January 06, 2020, 05:03:28 PM »
I like the fast action poles. Not too fond of the extra fast nor things below fast.

General Discussion / How much does an Apple 11 Pro M phone cost?
« on: December 31, 2019, 09:09:08 PM »
Someone wants to give that to me as a gift. I declined it, because when I think of the number 11, it's the most recent brand of any phone around. I don't want the person to pay so much just to make me realize I'm special.
