    the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

    This was a conversation we used to have at work, about how liable is a non-CDL driver for exceeding the ratings of their vehicle and trailer. It's not uncommon. We had repaired a huge wood-chipper for a customer and they sent this young girl with an F-150 to pick it up. I guess it made it okay...

    Whats going on in the World

    Current DNA technology is amazing, but how weird is it to go missing, be found two years later, and it takes 26 years to figure out who they are. Nobody wondered what happened to Joe? No family, a landlord, an employer? :(...

    WWII B-17 bomber crashes in CT

    I watched that this morning. Complacency is probably the second most dangerous risk in aviation. Maintenance would be the first. Here we had both. So tragic. Five human lives and a priceless piece of history. 🙁

    The never ending chat thread, chat about anything That your up too

    We had to test the windlass repair, so we anchored near the FI CG station and washed some bait. There were no fish there. Actually, I shouldn't say that. When we anchored, I saw the tiniest fluke I've ever seen, swimming right at the surface. I doubt the thing was three inches. Wish I could...

    Babylon Town Purchasing Water Rescue Boat

    We narrowly missed having to see this nonsense this morning. The mucky-mucks were all there while we short-hauled my friend's boat to fix the windlass. Fortunately, we were able to get things going and get the boat floating pretty quickly. So we beat it before all the self-congratulating went...

    Happy 100th Birthday

    To honor Mel's 100th Birthday, we watched History of the World Pt 1 because Avenger Jr is invested in classic films, among other things. It was as I expected, but a little overrated to him. Partly because some of the gags were part of the societal culture, and basically he had heard them all...

    the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

    Today, I spent my time chucking dog $#it off the lawn at my commercial building. Because a bunch of entitled, selfish $#its want the benefits of a pet, but none of the responsibilities. I'm working on surveillance cameras to figure this out, but what do you want to bet, if I can put together...

    Not from Floriduh... https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/property-owner-left-stuck-mower-191509113.html Sixty nine years old, and he's getting popped for stealing a lawnmower. But wait, there's more. The owner got it stuck in a ditch. Went to get a tow vehicle and a strap to pull it out...
