Mad dog. That is something that drives me crazy. In fact is a big problem in the radio/electronics business. I used to work for a state agency and we’d often have local fire and police departments asking us to do pro bono work because we were solid at what we did. I refused and got into a...

That is correct.

Barn dog, this is already the case. Most have some sort of weekly/daily report. At my current position, we also use a ticket based system where customers (other employees) can request services. We had shop bbqs and awards for the guys with the highest ticket count. When I was a...

Now that’s funny! You know i used to love NPR (on the road for hours in the days before podcasts) when they had specials on beavers and grazing rights and stuff like that. Then every thing turned into a weird mix of liberal talking points. Like I’m cool with the liberal stuff every now and...

Also, every American needs to go run a numbers check on actual federal expenditures. YouTube Rand Paul’s latest presentation to congress. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps is the ENTIRE budget without running a deficit. Call these what you want, entitlements or social...

This shit with all federal workers being lazy just gets tiring. That’s me couple hundred feet in the air. Doing the best I can for my country. I don’t need a damn parade, I just don’t want to be treated like some parasite.

The vilification of federal workers is a play to get government services so jacked up, that contractors have to come in to save the day - at double or triple the price. Multiple times in my career I’ve took on jobs that were bid at 20k plus by private contractors, and done them in 3/4 days. I...

Also - cool discussion with a really different smattering of view points! Right in the sweet spot between Alex J and the more popular Reddit forums.

Did any other Vets find the comments about the US taking over Gaza a little salty? Surely that ain’t happening without some Marines on the ground. I mean if you’re going to have a bunch of Marines coming home dead and maimed by IEDs (drones in 2025), to enrich the Industrial War Machine...

Tele - you read Peter Zs new book?

Holy crap dude. If we had more people be able to introspectively look at the words they speak, online and in person, and reflect and have the ability to change modify their viewpoints after careful consideration and dialogue with respected peers - THIS COUNTRY MIGHT HAVE A SHOT. No joke this...

Ben, I see something similar in NY, in areas where the Elm has died the prickly ash will takeover without constant mowing.

haha. Ya I had one I moved in September and didn’t hunt again until late November. First day out there spent about 30 minutes cleaning up mouse nests. They are usually good for a couple wasps nests a year too.

I used Rebar form supports drilled in with structural screws at every leg and 5 screw in anchors with ratchet straps, one at each corner and one in the middle. Those will get changed out for galvanized cable and turnbuckles in the spring. I actually have a much harder problem with mice in my...

Dawgs, they are Ag beans with a maturity of .9 and 1.1. They are about 2-3’ tall. I have 3 roughly square 1 acre plots. Plan was to just walk through them with a hand spreader. One plot has conventional rows, as seen in the pictures, which I already broadcast a radish mixture. The other...
