An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men his age, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects: 1. A Bible. 2. A silver dollar. 3. A bottle of whiskey. 4. A Playboy magazine. 'I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself. "When he comes home from school today, I'll see which object he picks up. "If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be. "If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a business man, and that would be okay, too. "But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken bum, and Lord, what a shame that would be. "And worst of all, if he picks up the magazine, he'll be a womanizer all his life!" The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's foot-steps as he entered the house whistling and heading for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, while he admired the magazine's centerfold. "Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered. "He's gonna run for Congress."

I really don't know if that's considered fast now a days. I used to do Radar and drags for many years, my 12 year daughter at the time did 91 with a 1979 Poo Centurian in 1/4 mile, I did 102 with a 1982 Kawi 550 Interceptor same day.

80? Is that considered fast for that sled? Dunno??

I have solar panels plugged into each of my 2 trucks, 1 Caddie and one of my ATV's, they turn over great in below zero weather. Actual temps. here the last 2 weeks was as high as zero and as low as minus 30F.

Rap a strap around the primary clutch.

Squirt a little fuel in the spark plug holes, maybe a couple times.

Fake News.

I have 6, 4 are for sale..

Our power used to go out at least once a month, usually more, usually from trees or branches falling on the wires in this whole greater area, I live in The Federal Forest,, I bought a Generator about 20 years ago. Took 3 years but they did lots of clearing & tree falling and now it only goes out about 4-5 a year so much better..LOL

Yup, it's actually tomorrow night..

I was wondering why no negroids were kneeling.

I see starting in 2018 in Wisconsin fully electric cars will pay a yearly $100 fee and Hybrids will in the near future, revenue lost from Gas tax is the reason as that tax is used to repair and build all roads, I can see this going up often as more folks choose EV's.

USAF takes delivery of the GBU-57A/B Penetrator - now there's nowhere to hide... USAF takes delivery of the GBU-57A/B Penetrator - now there's nowhere to hide www.gizmag.com The GBU-57A/B is a GPS-guided 30,000 lb bomb designed to take out hardened underground targets. It can penetrate 200 feet of hardened concrete before its 5,300 pound warhead explodes. An artist's impression of the GBU-57A/B Military technology has created some fearsome weapons, such as the 5,000 lb GBU-28 Deep Throat bunker buster, 15,000 lb BLU-82 Daisycutter, 15,650 lb Russian ATBIP (Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power), 22,000 lb Grand Slam earthquake bomb, and the 22,600 lbGBU-43 MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), but if you were hiding under 50 meters of hardened concrete, none of them were going to bother you. Not any more! The U.S. Air Force has just taken delivery of the first GBU-57A/B (Massive Ordnance Penetrator). It weighs 30,000 lb and will penetrate 200 ft of hardened concrete BEFORE it goes off. If you are reading this from an underground nuclear facility in Iran or North Korea , might we suggest some extended sick leave is (or soon will be) in order. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator is that it is a relatively simple weapon. The GBU acronym at the front of the official designation for the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (GBU-57A/B or MOP) can be found at the front of the name of almost everything the United States Air Force drops from a plane these days. Not all that long ago, bombs were dropped in large numbers in the hope that at least some of them would hit their target. These days, almost every bomb and missile is delivered with pinpoint accuracy. GBU stands for Guided Bomb Unit, and it means that the 20 foot GBU-57 A/B missile is zeroed in on the target by a GPS navigation system guiding its four lattice-type fins. Not surprisingly, the bomb is intended for only one purpose - to destroy the type of hardened concrete bunkers which house central command facilities and weapons of mass destruction. It's hence not surprising that the program has been hurried into readiness with the growing concern that Iran has developed nuclear weaponry. It is designed to penetrate supposedly untouchable facilities in one piece. The warhead case of the MOP is made from a special high performance steel alloy designed to maintain the integrity of the penetrator case during impact so that the payload can then do its job most effectively by exploding deep underground. The MOP is deployed from high altitude and allows gravity to add momentum to its 30,000 pound weight so that it hits with enormous kinetic energy. Put simply, the MOP hits exactly where it is intended to hit with enough energy to bury itself 200+ feet into hardened concrete, then it explodes its 5,300 pound warhead. The MOP is designed to be carried aboard B-2 and B-52 bombers so there's nowhere that is out of reach. The B-52 has a combat range of nearly 9000 miles , but aerial refueling means it effectively has an unlimited range. During Operation Desert Strike on September 2/3, 1996, two B-52s flew out of Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana and disrupted communications in Baghdad with AGM- 86C cruise missiles. By the time the mission was over, 34 hours had expired. Hence it would be fair to say that the B-52 is only limited in its range by the endurance of the four-person air crew The most likely aircraft to deliver the MOP however, is the B-2 Spirit which like the B-52, can carry two MOPs - which means they will not likely see it coming. The largely composite B-2 has vastly reduced infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual and radar signatures, extraordinary aerodynamic efficiency, a long range ( 6000 miles ) without refueling and a massive payload. It is hence a potent delivery system for the likes of the MOP, as it is very difficult for defensive systems to detect, track and engage. With aerial refueling, there is now nowhere to hide.

A man and a woman who had never met before, and who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower. At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying, “Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold.’" “I have a better idea,’"she replied, “Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married.” “Wow! That's a great idea!” he exclaimed. “Good,” she replied, “Get your own friggin’ blanket!” After a moment of silence, he farted. The End.

This man had what he thought was the best tattoo in the world... Until he went to prison.

He has no electricity and has to ask for rides to town to buy food. I realize he did this to himself, but I feel a bit sorry for him.

Actually his name is Rick..someone should help him, really, he has no drivers license due to 3 or 4 DWI's, has no job, claims that he can't find work cause he can't drive.

CNN has previously reported it was likely that some of the emails stored on Weiner's laptop contained classified information, and fired FBI Director Comey testified that there is no indication Abedin "had a sense that what she was doing was in violation of the law." The fact that Clinton and Abedin previously exchanged classified emails gave federal prosecutors probable cause to justify their review of Weiner's laptop in fall 2015, according to a search warrant application released in December 2016.

There's a 50+ year old guy about a 1/2 mile from me that lives in an 10X10 garden shed with 2 Cats and a Yellow Lab. Been living there for about 5+ years.

From Townhall: John Hawkins Liberals believe in never letting a crisis go to waste; so before the blood cools on the ground after a mass shooting, we always have some variation of the following conversation: Liberals: WE MUST ACT! Conservatives: What do you want to do? Liberals: A bunch of things that will hurt law-abiding gun owners, but won't fix the problem! Conservatives: No, thanks. Liberals: WHY WON'T YOU ACT?!?!? Every time some terrorist, wacko or radical kills people, liberals always want to take guns away from the people who didn’t do it. Their unconstitutional goal is complete gun confiscation, something which would likely lead to mass violence against the people carrying it out along with the prominent people and government officials advocating it. The Founding Fathers understood that if the American people were ever disarmed, it would only be a matter of time until the guns of a fascistic government were pointed at the people. So wise Americans understand that an attempt at widespread gun confiscation in the United States may very well lead to large numbers of freedom loving civilians, cops and military members taking up arms to insure that we continue to live in a Constitutional Republic. Liberals would do well not to forget that. Setting aside the bloodbath that policy would likely lead to, it still wouldn’t solve the problem even if it worked. You can talk about the “success” of gun confiscation in Australia if you like, but it’s not a comparable situation. There are already large numbers of illegal guns in the United States and getting more firearms into the country isn’t going to be a big problem with our porous borders. You want to get rid of guns in the United States? Well, you CAN’T. But of course, calling for gun confiscation in the United States is widely unpopular and so many liberals won’t admit that’s what they want to do. So what other gun control laws could liberals implement that would stop mass shootings? None. If you want to know why, take a look at some of the most prominent shootings in recent years starting with Stephen Paddock in Las Vegas. Paddock killed 59 people with semi-automatic rifles, but he had no criminal record or known mental health issues and he passed a background check with ease. He did apparently use bump stocks on his guns to speed their rate of fire and even the NRA is on board with banning them. Would getting rid of bump stocks have stopped Paddock? No, but it MAY have reduced the body count. Keep in mind that bump stocks replicate a technique that can be learned; so he may have been able to do the same thing without a bump stock given time, practice and motivation, all of which he seems to have had. Then there’s Omar Mateen, the Pulse Nightclub shooter who gunned down 49 with a semi-automatic rifle. The Lone Wolf Jihadi bought his guns legally after passing a background check. What about Dylann Roof? The notorious racist killer who killed black Americans at a South Carolina church? He did pass his background check, but it was because of an error by the FBI screener looking at his application. Unlike the first two names on this list, he did his killing with a semi-automatic pistol. We also can’t forget Adam Lanza. Remember, the crazy kid who killed 26 at Sandy Hook? He murdered his own mother and took her guns. What law stops someone who is ready to kill his own mother? Jared Lee Loughner was forced to leave college because campus officials feared for the safety of students around him, but he wasn’t convicted of a crime. Therefore, he passed a background check to buy the Glock he used to kill 6 people and shoot Gabrielle Giffords in the head. Major Nidal Malik Hasan was caught talking to a radical, anti-American cleric, but our intelligence agencies just shrugged that off. Later, he passed a background check, bought a semi-automatic pistol and used it to murder people at Fort Hood. James Holmes was seeing a psychiatrist, but never spoke of any plans he had to hurt people, which would have legally required her to report it. Holmes passed a background check, bought weapons including a semi-automatic pistol, semi-automatic rifle and a shotgun and used his weapons to murder 12 people in an Aurora, Colorado theater. We can go on and on with this, but the point is that there is no magic fix. Want to reduce the size of high capacity magazines? Once you know your way around a gun, you can change out a magazine in less than 2 seconds. Furthermore, semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic pistols and shotguns have all been used in mass killings. Banning one class of guns isn’t going to stop it. Additionally, as we discussed, banning all classes of guns wouldn’t end mass killings either. In Europe, where there already are the gun control laws liberals would love to implement, there are still gun massacres. One hundred thirty people were killed in a mass shooting with automatic weapons in France in 2015. Even if every gun on the planet magically disappeared tomorrow, the mass killings wouldn’t go away. In fact, the largest mass murders on American soil were committed with airplanes (9/11) and bombs (Oklahoma City). That seems especially noteworthy given that Paddock also had ammonium nitrate that could have been used to make a bomb. In 2016 in France, a man even killed 84 people by plowing through crowds with a truck. What, are we going to ban vehicles next? Get serious. Once someone’s mind is set on murder, there is no simple fix. So, how do you find the people bent on murder? Most of the time you don’t. Predicting which “moderate Muslim” will be radicalized and become a lone wolf killer is impossible. Predicting which mentally ill person will actually go around the bend and kill people isn’t doable. Some might be better bets to become violent than others, but the vast majority of people with mental illnesses don’t hurt anyone. Maybe getting God back in our schools, pushing Christian values and working on changing our “all attention is good attention” social-media-driven society might help, but I doubt liberals would be on board with any of those things. Long story short, gun control isn’t the fix for mass murders. If you want gun control so badly, move to the South Side of Chicago where it already exists and leave all of us law-abiding gun owners alone.
