    Oh COOL! Wanna play X-Box with me later and discuss the latest tracksuit trends?

    Woody’s glass - in Carthage there. I got his number. Didn’t know you needed them or ida hooked yous up.

    Come join the big fairy party!

    Great. 1” @ 50 yards, it’s probably about right for your previously discussed need and environment.

    Glad you can use it. Raising it to allow flip up sight use is smart too.

    On the media side - you explained it better - I’m the same now, I’ll explain later.

    Life is a sheet sandwich, and it’s perpetually lunchtime.

    Gretchen bought her father back from the brink of death with 20% kidney function, and diabetes. All diet. 9 medicines down to 1. Took 4 months.

    PM me if you want the help.

    No - they actually seem to get a kick out of it. It’s not a smirk - it’s pure joy. Let them have it. Enjoy the home show with a beverage.

    Lemme guess - “These we’re on sale” was said quite a few times, right?

    @stwik - I think you either didn’t read fully, or misunderstood.

    I didn’t label your post as anything. I observed that I see a lot of foolish crud spread on the webs every day, most of it unresearched, (STILL NOT REFERENCING YOUR POST), It’s ‘shared’ and ‘liked’ and ‘thanked’ -

    And it makes good people look stupid.

    I know who Sanders is. Fully aware. I don’t know who the twitter guy is, irrelevant, he is simply the ‘spreader’, but I can Wikipedia ‘townhall.com’.

    Your cut and paste post presents a biased view - and involves 3 parties - do I assume it reflects your views? Do you know it to be factual ? If 10 other internet sites state the same, is it ten times more truthful? Did you research it?

    I’ve never lived in England, nor in Canada,but have in NZ, which has a healthcare system that has similarities to a “Single Payer System “ ( odd description).

    What I offered was perspective. That’s all.

    I never mentioned ‘politics’ - it’s possible to discuss a topic and EXCLUDE the political aspects. And in this thread it should be excluded.

    I don’t believe I’ve ever discussed politics in this forum. You have no idea which way I lean on political issues.

    Neither did I say ‘this system is better or worse than that system ‘ . I’ve stepped on both sets of ‘grass’ , and have perspective. I think @MagnumaMoose grasped that.

    I know you’re busy, and typically run a lot of miles, so I’d ASSUME that you tend to skip over details. There’s some things , especially in this thread, that I read a few times to fully understand.

    @TripleSix had a great post about a conversation with an 18year old kid. I read it a few times. Doesn’t apply to me, but gets stacked in the mental file. Read the part about control.

    Then -

    Read @RedForeman ’s post a couple of times.

    I remember when the NEWS was a one hour affair, pretty plain and boring, with no OPINION inserted.

    Until I was 15 years old, there were 2 TV channels. News was 6pm till 7pm. Programming ended at midnight - with “The Goodnight Kiwi”, and white noise until the next morning.

    Today, it’s a 24/7 onslaught of garbage, where the real content is obscured.

    Do your own research, form your own opinion, and allow it to alter by keeping an open mind. Draw your lines in the sand, mindful that life may bring a wave to erase it.

    See where doorslamming will get you? Too much time to drive and think. But I thought of you today - see?

    And @sawmill says you’re ok - so I’ll stick with that.

    :)

    2.5 hours of work (including tarping) for $100. It's nice to work for a place that recognizes the importance of paying drivers for ALL the work they do.

    Made Simonson in Grand Forks, ND for the night. Looking to make the Illinois border tomorrow, but depending on whether the customer wants it Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning, I may not need to push that hard tomorrow.

    Seems like this might be a little more laid back week. Reload is likely going to be out of that area coming back, allowing me to reset at home and either carry on next week, or deliver in Winnipeg on Monday.
