    It's old school, big dial you can through the window, like the 1 down by Walla Walla it's closed 99% of the time but accessible to help guys not get in trouble. No read out once you weigh the steer you have to go look.

    Important to the military. 130 man unit of US Army on Clark Air Base in the PI. Airmen like ticks on a dog.
    But, only three of us had AB+. Military rule then you had to have two on hand, one needing it and one live
    donor. so, if one of us cleared base, others were stuck till another one showed up.

    (I was Army. But somewhere today is a man who was stationed at Columbus, MS Air Force Base in 1964, who came down and gave my little 2 year old daughter a supply of AB+. Warded off the blood flu meningitis raging fever. She lived a long and happy productive life but succumbed to breast cancer on 2011. Forever grateful to the blue uniform, who ever is in it.)

    Yeah it's WAY easier than splitting by hand. With the splitter I can split 1 chord in an hour if I have someone to hand me bucked logs and someone else to keep the split wood from crowding the splitter. To split 1 chord with a maul would take at least 4 hours, and that would be if I could keep up a fast pace... Which I cant do, after 15 to 20 mins I slow WAY down.

    That stack of wood will last about 2.5 to 3 months of really bad winter conditions. By time sniw flies I will have enough split and stacked to last 4 to 4.5 months of really bad winter conditions

    Alice Coopers in concert Saturday night. I just happen to be home. Called my daughter, asked her if her and her boyfriend would want to go. Nope. Ask my wife, what about just you and I go? She says not really, but if that’s what you’d like, I’ll go. Not the answer I was looking for. I didn’t get to see Alice when I was 15, didn’t have the cash. Oh well, I’m reminded of one of my fathers favorite sayings “You can go back, but you can never go home”. With that in mind, it wouldn’t be the same anyways. I guess I’ll have to live never seeing The Coop. I tried to add some Culture to their Lives. All I can say is, Welcome to my Nightmare.
