Just a quick fly by - - think I will pass on anything I see on the counter - - crazee Canuck is gone wild AGAIN. Oh well, could be worse - - he could be sane and then really look out. .......

I´ll just wait and see if anybody turns out weird doing that one hour leap...
Still cold here, but we didn´t get any snow, only 30 miles south of here they quit plowing and brought out the backhoes

Afternoon all. Cold here, wind and clouds all day. This job site is going to suck like a vac truck.

Gorgeous day down here today. Winter in Florida - really tough. Ok, off to keep the blonde company.

Exactly...if I stayed one minute longer I would have been insulted...or assulted!
Hey Rick!
Evening DTR. Glad the Barber shop is open I could use a trim. Changed my Avatar... my co-workers said with my red beard I look like the young Santa Claus from the Santa Claus is coming to town cartoon.

I kind of liked your old avatar even though I wasnt sure what it was.
Its my high school yearbook picture.
That makes sense. Kind of like Penn and Teller.
Funny you should mention that.
About 35 years ago my parents sent us an electric mattress pad that they got in Australia (for some reason they didnt sell in the States).
Just this year it finally quit working but now you can get them in our stores.
Only problem with the mattress pad over an elect blanket is you should avoid wetting the bed.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Evening everybody. Not going to touch the sundry strange subjects floating around the break room. The break room is well named, 'cuz it appears most of the inhabitants are broken. Some may even be broken in. Many are broken up. I mean, look at the subject matter: Goofy, Pluto, shrews, Depends, LEGGS, Ph00 and you name it. Sheesh!
Today once again was gorgeous weather. Bob, bet my Paradise weather beats your weather.
Just returned from helping out a friend. She lost the keys to a rental house, so had to help her get in. We ended up by having a locksmith come to the house. He could not open the lock, so he forced it (with my permission), broke it and then finally got the door open. Now he had to go away to buy a new lock and install it. Wonder what this would have cost north of the border? Would you believe that he only charged US$20 for the service plus the new lock. It is prices like this that keep me living in Mexico.

That's easy... your thumb. Because you didn't really give your thumbs any consideration before I mentioned it, now you're looking at them in awe. Or wondering why you never noticed them before.
$895 for a root canal... the more I think about it, them more it amazes me. How can they justify that cost? I mean, sure, when you're in pain you'll pay practically anything to make the pain go away. But there's a moral question if that's the only reason for the price. I was only in that office for 35 minutes, let alone how long I was actually in the chair. That's a little over $25 a MINUTE! Is it the liability that justifies the cost? I don't think so. If she messed up to colossal proportions and a patient died at her hands, that's still only a couple million her insurance company would have to payout. I have a general umbrella policy that covers me for 5 mil, and it doesn't come anywhere close to justifying that I charge customers $25 a minute. And when you think about it, I have WAY more liability when I weld something than any dentist could ever imagine. What if one of my welds fail on a 50 ton trailer going down the highway? It has the potential to kill multiple people and damage countless millions of dollars in property. Yet I only get a buck a minute. Something's wrong here!

I've been thinking about a new ride lately. Im coming up on 200K on my frontier.
Im either getting another frontier or a ram 3500 QC.
thing is, there is no reason I need the ram over the frontier. If enough things work out that I can afford the ram. is there any reason I shouldn't spend the extra money on the truck and fuel?

Im surprised at how those used Frontiers have held their price.
Baby needs new shoes. Pappy needs new golf clubs.
It can be mind boggling.
Last month Totallyrad started a thread about a supersonic ping-pong-ball gun.
Within six posts it had deteriorated into a discussion about who had ever thrown up on a dog.
It was madhat's fault.

Well its not something that you can plan on doing, its gotta be spontaneous.
However it is surprising how many people have thrown up on Dogs (and Cats).
I only did it once at a bbq back when I still drank the hard stuff.
It was a friends dog who was very friendly but was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Actually, the dog didn't care but my friends wife wasn't real happy about it.
Probably should have told her about throwing up on it before the dog went back in the house.
My son in-law once threw up on a Ferret.
