Fortunately, mine were when I was kid, full set of R/R tracks cemented bands and all. Once a month I'd have have an adjustment and sometimes it seemed like the guy used an impact on them. Then there were times when the main wire was cut too short and would pop out of the band... right through...

No doubt you've heard all kinds of excuses and most are likely bogus but this one may be legit. I take it that you've never experienced the joy of having them adjusted. They can be excruciating for days afterward.

Here's a question for LEOs. Has use of the body cam helped or hurt you in performing your duties? And is that because of the neighborhood involved or in general? At first, I thought they would be a great idea to protect the good officers and weed out the bad. But after recent incidents and...

Thanks for the confirmation. It's too bad that more LEOs are unable find safe harbor in that. I don't give the general public credit for brains enough to understand the concept of qualified immunity, but it's a shame that it seems to be too conveniently forgotten these days.

I always thought that there was a law where public servants, police and fire especially, could not be sued for making a mistake. If an officer followed departmental policy and someone died, that officer could not be prosecuted because they performed as they were trained. Guess I was either...

It's not that I'm a bad golfer, I just see more of the course than most people.

30-45 minutes north of Dallas is a great area to live. Land available at reasonable prices, still fairly close to civilization, mostly conservative viewpoints and yet far away enough to be by yourself. For a few years at least. If you can, get into county rather than city; less bureaucracy and...

Costco has a Firman model, Mdl TO7571, 9400/7500 tri-fuel (gas/LPG/NG) generator for $799 in store. Being pretty rural, we got it for outages plus shop, barn and RV use. Has 120 and 240V with 20/30/50A output. Should do nearly anything I ask of it.

If you can. Bullets, that is.

One could argue that the NFL and most pro sports, for that matter, is a waste of time and money. Same goes for Hollywood. Bring on the aircraft!

They're mask enforcement officers.

Yesterday received an email from CA Secretary of State that my ballot was mailed to my residence and the process is completely safe. No sales, no call this number and nothing that would lead me to think it was a scam. Trouble is, I haven't been in CA for well over a year. Voted today in Texas...

Concrete is it of this world right now, too, at least in North TX. Building a 30 x 60 steel barn with two rollup doors and a 12' lean-to on each side. Concrete is close to half of the cost.

Love finding old tools in good shape. did some carpentry work years ago and the guy threw in his grandpa's skill saw since he didn't know which end to hold. It's heavy but much better built than today's junk and it's 'torky' as all get out. Cuts even the biggest lumber like butter. Picked up...

Northern Dallas, in Collin County, has been absolutely fantastic! Been here a year on 5 acres and can't imagine living anywhere else, coming from OC. Everyone we've met has been extremely gracious and kind, some of the best neighbors we've ever had. Sure, we feel bad for our friends that remain...
