    Had a friend graduate high school with me in 1953.He was into the Flash Gordon comic stuff of jet planes.
    He joined USAF; made Major, and went on to Vietnam . His bones are somewhere in LAOS per wingman they missed. MIA still on 1/30/68. I often wonder what his thoughts were in those years of jetting around in
    something that did not exist when he dreamed of it. Progress is amazing.

    In the forklift biz, I sold pallet rack. Sold a very nice quantity to a clothing mfg for his new warehouse.
    RidgeURak, from NC. They wanted freight. I called. Tarp or no tarp? I called buyer. TARP it. Why?
    Cause it might get wet on the way down and will later rust in the joints inside. Thats logical.
    So it is delivered and unloaded with a forklift dragging and skinning paint pretty bad.
    Building is a rented space with small doors. Uprights were 16' tall. Unload outside, carry in by hand thru door. Took awhile. Suspect the joints and skinned paint places are oxidizing nicely. But, TARP it.

    Beats me, Opus. No idea really. I probably won't spend a lot of time thinking about it though.

    Speaking of binge watching, if you haven't seen or heard of it, I highly recommend Yellowstone staring Kevin Costner as a wealthy rancher and his crazy family. He's a real bad a s s in it as are his kids. Definitely worth a binge watch of the 3 seasons they've made so far. I got rid of cable 3 years ago and haven't missed it one bit, but I found this show online and can't get enough of it.
