As some of you know I was diagnosed with PPMS about 4 years ago. It is an uphill battle, but I am keeping a positive attitude. When guys break the rules it causes me stress because I don't want to have to punish any of you. It's just not my thing. I also don't like being put in the position to determine if it is a violation or not. I don't need the stress. It can cause my MS to flare up. So I have decided to put my health ahead of the forum. As Ben said in his poll, just leave real life out of it. No posting members names. No searching the Internet and bringing back info, photos or anything else that affects their real life. No calling or contacting a members work. Pretty easy to determine for most I would think. If you break the real life rule you are banned. No warnings. No one or two vacations. You are gone for good. This will make things much easier on me going forward. If this isn't something that works for you, I am sorr.y. But flare ups aren't a thing good for my condition.

My daughter sent me this article this morning..my niece Madeline Martin is quite the badass. Very proud of her!👊🏻☺️ https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6737953

Ahh no , he simply sent these individuals to a sanctuary state that has openly advocated for their being allowed to reside here. I have no issue with this. I hope Texas continues to send them to DC by the thousands. If I was a governor of a state that had a significant problem with illegals I’d do exactly the same.

Last uniformed day May 2nd...

after a very long rough season with a few resignations we might be taking over all hot base asphalt transportation for our parent company and they will discontinue in-house hauling and leave it all up to us which starting next season and I was approached about taking over logistics for dispatching hot oil from our storage facility to the mix plants, I have delivered to these plants for 16 years and have a deep understanding of their operations which no one in our management has, after 30 years looking through a dirty windshield and pounding the pavement looking like all the hard work is going to pay off and sail into retirement from behind a desk, will not miss getting up at 2am if this becomes a reality

lowe's refused to sell me custom counter top , so i built it from sanded plywood, screwed and glued, capped edge , and bondo to fix imperfections. poured black with black metal flake in it, swirled white metal flake through it. clear coat last night.my first one ever , i'm happy with it

She had a private lesson with the head coach of the U of Ms swim programs Kelly Kramer. My wife said she is beyond pumped and had an awesome time. This was really cool of the U to put on since the kids couldn’t do camps this summer. Aunika is a good swimmer and she’s built for it. She’s only 12 and she was 5’9 at her physical last week. I hope she sticks with it. She wants to break all the pool records at her school and go be a Gopher when she graduates.

My 7 year old has been after me to take him to the shack that’s closest to our house. It’s about 15 miles away. By the time we got there he didn’t want to stop. So we ended up stopping at three shacks and did around 65 miles by the time we got home. He can’t wait to go again. Was a nice little afternoon

I have been battling prostate cancer for about 1.5 years. When diagnosed my PSA level was extremely high and after radiation treatment its down to 0.05 so basically cleared up. The radiation did alot of damage to the bladder and bowel area and they found a mass on the tail end of the prostate. They did a biopsy and then another and 2 weeks ago another and got a call from the surgeon a few minutes ago. It's confirmed no cancer for the 3rd time and the urologist and surgeon figure it's an ulcer caused by the radiation. I'm on the mend and taking it day by day.

Merry Christmas To Myself!!!!

Picked this up last week. Can't believe what he let it go for. 98's in this kind of shape are hard to come by.

An active volcano (Pavlov), Aleutian Islands and Ursa Major all in one picture....

I took this photo this fall with the intention of posting it on Veteran's Day. Thank you for your service

My new boat, the Brinn Courtney. Start in NY Harbor in 3 weeks.

"They tell you not to cry. They tell you he's just a dog, not a human. They tell you it will pass. They tell you that animals do not know that they must die. They tell you that the important thing is not to make them suffer. They tell you that you can get another one. They tell you it will happen. They tell you there are more unbearable pains. But they don't know how many times you've looked your dog in the eye. They don't know how many times it was you and your dog that looked in the dark. They don't know how many times your dog was the only one by your side. They don't know that the only one who hasn't judged you is your dog. They don't know how scared you were the night his moans woke you up. They don't know how many times your dog has slept next to you. They don't know how much you've changed since the dog became a part of your life. They don't know how many times you hugged him when he was sick. They don't know how many times you pretended not to see when his hair was getting whiter and whiter. They don't know how many times you've talked to your dog, the only one who really listens to you. They don't know how good you were to your dog. Little do they know that only your dog knew you were in pain. They don't know what it's like to see your old dog trying to come over and say hello. They don't know that when things go wrong, the only one who isn't gone is your dog. They don't know that your dog trusts you, every moment of his life, even at the last moment. They don't know how much your dog loved you and how little he needed to be happy, because you were enough for him. They don't know that crying for a dog is one of the noblest, most meaningful, truest and purest things you can do. They don't know about the last time you rocked him hard ... being careful not to hurt him. They don't know what you felt when you caressed his face in the last moments of his life" From dad ❤️😥 #photography #photooftheday #photographychallenge #PhotoEditingChallenge #BestPhotographyChallenge #photochallenge #moodchallengemoodchallenge #thửtháchtâmthửtháchtâmthửtháchtâmtrạngNày #nhiếpảnh #photooftheday #photographychallenge #PhotoEditingChallenge #BestPhotographyChallenge #photochallenge #moodchallengemoodchallenge #moodchallengechallenge• #BestPhotographyChallenge #moodchallengemoodchallenge #BestPhotographyChallenge #moodchallengemoodchallenge #bestchallenge #photographychallenge #photochallenge2022

Kinda crazy this is like twice in 2 or 3 months Mr Pelosi is in the news for being hammered.

Well I made it

My Dad does custom leather work. I watch a lot of westerns and always wanted a cowboy rig! This started out as a kinda yellowish/tan piece of flat leather. Everything you see (except buckle) was hand sewn, dyed, cut and formed. All the design work on it is done with little tools and a hammer. Hand painted and covered in a protective cover. I own Ruger Vaquero that I used to fast draw. My dad is aging fast and is unable to do this much anymore. Something I will always cherish. Thanks dad...

"I am taking the rest of the month in sick leave and will be retiring as of December 31st." "Fuck Joe Biden" signed - The old lady. 41 years of service. Forced out for a disease she has already had and have immunity. I'm over joyed for her....

Wife had our first child on Wednesday. 8lbs 4oz boy. First time I've not been at work on the farm in the month of April since I was a child. Dog isn't enjoying all the crying but its interested when he's quiet.

It was official on December 16th but I got my fancy certificate in the mail today.

I wasn't ready but the wife and daughter were...

Any proud Dads out there?! Just bought my daughter her first “real” dirtbike and the lil’ shit rips on it!!

More than likely my last new truck before I retire, '24 T880

I used to think you were the monkey throwing feces around their cage. I no longer think that. You are the person standing in front of the Washington DC monkey cage. Every time to get a face full of feces from the Democrats, you turn around and tell everyone how much better it is then a face full of feces from the Republicans. Maybe one day they'll give you a small treat of a few undigested peanuts.

2am on the Beartooth at full moon. 60mph winds and 36F. Love it.

Photos my Father took on Ektachrome of training with the 10th Mountain during WWII. Except for the hair I got on a few it’s pretty amazing quality for almost 80 year old slides. Edit: I meant Kodachrome

My now deceased Father-in-law and his first ever snowmobile a 1963 Cat, his only one, he thereafter became a lifelong Polaris rider, he rode into his late 80’s

Fuckin ready to rock!

Haven't gone out taking pictures in quite a while, but I was keeping an eye on all the forecasts. Decided I'd throw the battery on the charger after getting home from a 12 hour work day returning a generator to service. Relaxing on the couch enjoying a nice cold beverage, and my phone rang. Work calling, problem with the unit and I needed to go back in and troubleshoot. Motherfucker. It was kind of an expected issue, adjustments we make during maintenance contradict adjustments required for running online, but we need to calibrate everything to spec for our testing, then usually go back afterwards and adjust so it's balanced with the other units... regardless, it's an easy, quick fix. Decided I'd throw my camera in the vehicle just in case, and just as I was leaving site to head back home, the sky exploded. Took the back way home and stopped at the little lake beside town that functions as the float plane base. It was open water yesterday during the day, had skimmed over with ice during the evening and was covered when I was shooting there around 8:30.

Just bought this sexy fucker, 850 137"..Pumped

Better than destroying private businesses and looting them. at least it's a protest targeting the right people.

We waited about an hour at this location to see if the sun would show itself before sunset. Gave up and started to leave. From the clearing just down the road we could see that the sun was indeed going to come out before it went down. Another 15 minutes of waiting paid off. Burke Mountain in the background.

I passed my Mate's exams this morning!!

I just added rob's pic to the logo. Like I said, I suck at doing stuff like this in PS.

Watching fucken morons like you doing a meltdown is a good start 😂😂

Some shit never changes

All that I said was it seemed like the few threads that I even open and read in here turns in to the childish back and forth shit with Badger. If it bugs me I am sure that it is getting old with others. When I asked in the old 550 forum if this crap would stay out of CE if it was closed I was assured by everyone involved that it would. It needs to stop now!!!!!

Well it's finally happened, I got decrewed and I'm headed home! 257 days on the Bering Sea! Merry Christmas, fellas!

I got out early this morning to get a few pics. 1st one is of the hoar frost on the trees just before sunrise. 2nd is of the fog coming off lake Willoughby.
