  1. Biden cheat sheet shows he had advance knowledge of journalist's question (nypost.com) That would be funny if he forgot it in the shitter right before they guided him out to the podium....
  2. Put a sled in it and haul it up north. Let me know what you think.
  3. We use 2 lanyards, undo 1 and loop it back around then undo the second and repeat. Would hate to get tipsy during the transition using just one. I'm no where that high off the ground or walking a tight rope like that looks like.
  4. Waiting for the "If you took the jab(s) for Covid you may be entitled to compensation..." commercials, are they out yet? Figure MC will post when he see one, he's always looking for a free lunch. Attorney's will make billions, we'll each get a check for $5.00.
  5. My first concert ever. New Haven coliseum back in the early 80’s.
  6. Polling at this point is worthless, you know and I know he’s not the next president.
  7. Another thread turned into a Trump vs Biden shit show. I’ll tell you what I know about China…. In the early 90’s I worked for a big company that did flight boxes for military and commercial. We did a box for a company called IADC in Taiwan. They wanted to put together an aircraft similar to an F16 because the US wouldn’t sell them F16’s. Long story short they were starting to try and prepare for China. My next job was with a small company that did pick and place machines. This equipment is used to assemble circuit boards for things like cell phones. It was a small company that got killed by the big players that outsourced their manufacturing of these “machines” to China. Company I worked for did some real innovative stuff but couldn’t compete. “We in the US are good at innovating, then we ship it off and have it manufactured in China.” The big Companies came into China and put together a factory, a dorm to sleep in, and a cafe to eat in. Cost very little to hire employees and run a factory in China. Most equipment didn’t have to go far as it was sold to big businesses that had fab houses in China. Next job was a place under a big company. We did high end copper cable that competed with fiber used in big banks and places like Google. We were building up equipment to make this product and found out it was going to China to produce this high end cable. Was told it was just for the product needed in the Chinese market. A couple years later and it’s all being made out there. Place I’m at now builds helicopters. These helicopters are so good that China is copying them. We are developing things that will go into production soon enough. Give it time and China will probably copy some of what’s being built. My thoughts about China? We made them what they are. We enabled them. not Trump or Biden… everyone. Big business showing them what we do and how to do it to the consumer buying their cheap knockoffs. We continue to give them our technology and our money. China is not our friend, they don’t give a fuck about us. Our businesses don’t give a fuck about us. You think Biden and Trump are any different?
  8. Gophers get beat on goal 10 seconds in overtime. 6 on 4 power play was a gutsy call and got the tie. Decent game overall. I'm about 20 minutes from Quinnipiac and used to get tickets from work all the time. Need to make time to get some games next year.
  9. Jill Biden should have kept her mouth shut. Had no reason to open her yapper over something that had nothing to do with her. If her dementia husband wants top score voter points he should come out now and say this...
  10. I thought he was OK... entertaining compared to the asswipes that talk politics all day long on this site.
  11. I wonder if Hillary had made the phone call yet to handle this. I'd keep an eye on her until the story comes out...
  12. I'm actually reading, haven't had much to say up to this past weekend as far as the weather goes. I was in Irasburg/Coventry area this past weekend and saw -17 deg f when I went out and started my car. Took the sled out on Friday for a short ride and got to the edge of the lake (where the cross is, across from Eastside) and was hesitant to go across as I was alone at the time. Trails were in good shape even with the lack of snowfall, water bars are now frozen and filled in. Need a couple days of real snow and the rest of the season will be good. Non weather drama: Had some issues with the Nest thermostat at the rental, it's setup as a 2 wire system with no common wire and the thermostat wasn't charging as the furnace was constantly running. Ended up getting a cheap thermostat for now. A 3rd wire is available so this weekend I'll go see what the connection at the furnace looks like. Just need to make the owner aware and explain it so he's comfortable with what I'm doing. Personal drama: Gained some weight and my riding clothes are tight. 5 more weekends of riding for my group.
  13. Brought the sled and equipment up this weekend, did a lap around the house. Snow coming this weekend?
  14. I thought this was another thread about his mental health...
  15. How exactly are you protecting me by getting the vax? You can still catch it and spread it. Kind of like saying I got the flu shot to protect you...
  16. So on every Jan 9 we are to honor 5 cops that died due to health issues that took there lives after this government protest ended? Can’t wait to see how the high school history books have this going down in 10 years.
