  1. Yes, still at the same property, just built a new house that I moved into a couple weeks ago. Wish I had time for Volvos and the shens still but life has directed me in a different direction.
  2. All kinds of things. Built the car a couple years back. I'll try to find my thread. I had a kid, got divorced, life got busy and just did not have time to finish up the build.
  3. Yea, I guess I have no clue what I am talking about. Never mind the fact I take care of 125 acres of forested land.
  4. Roundup is only 30%-50% glyphosate. You can make your own stronger solution which works much better. Its all about timing too. Its best to cut it back, then when its just sprouting new growth hit it hard.
  5. Have you tried a heavy glyphosate solution? It kills even the most evasive plants out here.
  6. Cut your hair, that will help... hippie.
  7. No google needed at all. Just a quick look at any of his recent posts. Actually any of his posts.
  8. I'm actually surprised you have not owned one yet. It just seem so fitting.
  9. I thought you were in the business of selling the cars. After that comment, I would never want to buy a BMW. You have put the fear of Bimmer God into me.
  10. I'm sorry, but its your job when you are on the clock and talking to paying costumers. Not during the wee hours of VS talking with the lowlifes.
  11. Good write up. I might have to do this sometime if I ever get the urge to work on the car again. I also have your address now.
  12. Just put them on daddy's credit card.

  14. You might have a lucrative career out of it. You never know. You've already got the vehicle. If the shoe fits...
  15. I tossed it at the UPS truck as it drove by the other day. I guess it didn't make it through the window.
  16. I am having the same problem. Does not matter the size or dimensions. There are no bars to drag to resize. I found a photo that fits though.
  17. Uh, I forgot to send it. I might get to it next week.
  18. I realized last night that it was you. That was some mighty fine beer too. I brought it to a friends house last night and proceeded to get drunk for the first time in a long while. The jacket is too cool, and very thoughtful. The cookies are really good, I couldn't help myself last night when I got home and ate half of them already. Thanks for the gift card too! All really great gifts. Happy holidays.
  19. Just got mine. Of course I got a lump of coal, but much more too! Very thoughtful gifts. Thanks Santa, whoever you are.
  20. Welp, looks like I'm getting a turd, or a few of them.
  21. The driver was Angry and Bitter™ at those damn pompous cyclist. I think I see Pat flying off the hood. and Mike just narrowly escaped, he is in the green.
  22. I have never done a cliff rescue involving a K9 and I do not know if our department has ever done it either, so we never have had a need for a muzzle. A ball gag works on our human patients just fine. (thats a joke for those that take everything I say seriously) The owners said the dog was nice and had never bitten anyone, but like already stated, they can be unpredictable in certain situations, even more so when they are already stressed and scared. You add all the gear hanging from my harness and the noise of it clinking together, and my radio squawking, it could make for a very tense animal. But it was great learning experience, which I can pass on to others as well.
  23. Went on a cliff rescue call this morning for a dog 200' down the cliff. Was my first rescue for a K9. Was quite interesting since we do not have the proper gear to do K9 rescues. It wasn't until I got down below the dog, hanging 200' off the cliff that I started wondering if he was really as nice as the owners said he was. Luckily I had some dog biscuits to distract him while I put him in a harness I made out of webbing and cut up fire hose. Besides a few scratches and cut pads from the sharp rocks, he was uninjured. He also tolerated haul back up the cliff side pretty well. I am now putting an order in for some K9 rescue harnesses and muzzles.
