Where is everyone #5

The Great War was over...... 1918

 

@TripleSix I seem to recall you mentioning a long time ago about having to strengthen your shoulders in order to lift more. Did I have that right?

I'm running into a bit of an issue with my shoulders now. Getting a bit of pain in them after I lift really heavy. Kind of below the middle/outer traps. Any advice on how to balance things out since I'm suspecting I may have a bit of an imbalance in a muscle up there.

 

Congrats

 

RECOVERY- a return to readiness. Do you fully recover after a strenuous workout? What lift are you doing with the shoulders that’s causing pain at the traps?

 

Calling immigrants "you people" in a multicultural nation that actively employs people from all walks of life in the military, and they serve without question, yes, there is justified reasoning why people are freaking out over Cherry's comments. He's a senile old man that needs to retire. He's a product of a different generation, that was never taught about diversity.

His statements were racist and totally uncalled for on his platform. Even Ron McLean was looking at him as if to tell him to shut up.

Canada isn't the United States, we don't respect bigotry up here, especially when it has occurred on more than one occasion, that actual Canadian veterans have stated openly that they fought for people's right to wear or not wear a poppy, and to put up their Xmas decorations before November 11th. I don't like the latter, but if veterans don't care, I don't think others need to be making anti-immigrant statements when immigrants, who could be innocently ignorant of the meanings, are not wearing one.

Explaining the meaning behind the poppy, and giving people the right to remember in their own way is what makes Canada so great. We don't force people to participate in remembrance up here, and Remembrance Day is a day for everyone who has been the victim of war and conflict, not just white Canadians who fought in WWI/WWII.

They even brought up a pretty big point during the Ottawa ceremony this year, that we focus so much on the "great wars" but very little on people who participated in the Korean war and other Canadian peace-keeping conflicts.

 

Original plan was to take a gooseneck down to Orlando and load tomorrow morning for N. Las Vegas. 10’ tall piece. Has to be there Friday, blah blah blah.

Get to grabbing gears south on 95 and just as I cross into the Savannah scales phone starts ringing... “That didn’t last long” I thought.

“They moved that Orlando pick out to Wednesday. We will have another truck get it. Head back to Charleston, grab one of the million quick draws, and sit for the night. Load tomorrow for The Dalles Oregon.”

Told me I needed my TWIC... and it’s not in the main Charleston port it’s one of the CG bases near downtown. I’m a lucky little #### I tell ya. Added some miles, get to slide a curtain instead of tarping, and 9000 pounds instead of 15000 (#lightweightsmattertoo)

how far will I make it before the snow crap ruins my week? That is the question...

thinking I’ll go i40, run through Moab, over soldiers, and then it’s just interstate the rest of the way. I should be able to handle that, right?

 

AMEN

 

You picked a fine day to piss me off. I am sick and tired of the bullsh.t rhetoric I have to listen to on a daily basis, and now here? First of all, a racist is one who hates all people of a particular race. Nationalities and religions don't qualify as a racist. To qualify an older man as senile just because he spoke his mind pretty much shows me what you are and who you are. His generation is the reason you can spew your crap freely. You repeat bullsh.t you hear because you can't be old enough to have lived it. Respect bigotry? Why you little snot nosed sh.t. If you knew anything about the U.S., you would know most of us don't respect or practice it, but dam if I will try to change your small mind. And lastly, it's Christmas not Xmas. It's not an xrated day. Have a good day in your paradise.

 

Happy Veterans Day. I Thank all that served that I’m free today. I especially Thank our Vietnam Era Veterans. You came home to an absolutely horrific Non-Welcome nation filled with young (As my Father called them) dope smoking, drug addicts, disrespectful pukes, that had no idea or cared what you fought for. I’m not a racist and I try to keep an even head about myself. My blood boils at the thought of anyone not respecting our military. I may not agree with 100% of what goes on in politics and military decisions... BUT I live in a free country that I may move about, work, carry a firearm, and protect myself, and my loved ones.
If you served during another area I Thank You and respect you.
For you bellyaching, crybabies that have zero respect for Our One Nation Under God, move your sorry socialistic freeloading ##### to another country
