Politics

Even if I had the money to buy a floor of this building I would not. I would rather live in a small cabin in the middle of the woods. I simply do not like people that well. After living out in the country I like that my closest neighbor is not next door. To each thier own.
I am a very rural, out in the middle of nowhere for my personal living. Frugal and a tightwad as well, but I don’t mind visiting, vacating and enjoying the pleasure of the city life, I just always return home.

Other states, countries, people and cultures have so much to offer and enjoy. It is easy to get jaded and complacent, but we are only cheating ourselves by not partaking and enjoying Gods creations.

Yeah, that high-rise is my vacation home, spend 2-3 months total in a year there. What's funny is that is where I like to hang out for peace and quiet. No traffic, and because the walls are insulated you do not hear the people above or below. The marina is literally 5 minutes if I want to go for a quick sail. Mountains are 15 minutes away and we do have a chalet there with amazing view of the ocean in the distance.

Large cities like NYC, my limit is 5 days max and I have to leave.

Trump destroys them at SOTU, and now they are in damage control mode.
Jeffries pie hole is spewing it's typical nonsense.

Unless having to travel through one on a flight connection, I have less than zero desire to, on purpose, visit any of the plastic banana cities like Doha or Dubai built on piles of sand overlaying oil… as trendy or fashionable as those destinations seem to be. While in Mindanao, simple for me to catch relatively short or easy domestic or international flights to big cities that are, IMO, infinitely more interesting than the fakes on sand in the Middle East. Easy flights/connections to BSB Brunei, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Taipei, Ho Chi Minh City, Tokyo, etc. About $80 and a 1 1/2 hr flight to Manila, one of the largest cities in the world.

Yes, you did and I hope it hurt.
 
Here is a vanity that I made. Sycamore one piece solid top that my grandfather sawed in the 1950s. Walnut base that my great grandfather sawed in the 1940s. StrongBarn tin from the 1960s. Sears Homart cast iron sink from 1958.

Notice the circular saw marks from my grandfather’s sawmill, he was running a top saw as well. About a 30 inch wide top.

The saw marks are unique, have spent several years in saw mills, and can say the circular saw blade needed sharpening or had a tooth out of alinement, always thought sycamore was a soft wood never was around any cut.

A woman ,a dog ,a walnut tree ,the more you beat em the better they be. heard that in an old movie somewhere, I wouldnt beat my dog but if I had to look at her every day, ?? looks like Hillary's big sister by a different dad.

If you think that quote is acceptable you’ve got serious issues, when you make jokes about intimate partner violence on this forum it reflects poorly on all of the AH community.

Yes, I am sure the saw needed sharpening, alinement and probably much more. His sawmills were probably wore out and consumed by this time. It does give more character to the lumber. Sycamore seams to get harder and harder as it ages. I have thousands of board feet that he sawed, along with other kinds as well.

I never said I wanted to live in them. I agree that the cities you mentioned have more soul than others.

I am a builder/ developer among others things and appreciate the building process and engineering that goes into mega projects as well as small ones.
 
No time for a standing filibuster or to confirm Presidential nominations but plenty of time for a Senate dog show. :sneaky:

Last year I called one of our long time suppliers (great products not so much for customer service) to place a large order, my at the time sales rep asked me if I could call back tomorrow because they were in the middle of photo shoot with the local dog kennel and bonding experience, whatever that means. I gave him my thoughts, hung up and called their competitors (also my long time supplier) and placed the order. I later found out that the supplier paid the dog kennel 10k to bring the dogs in for a photo shoot. I no longer have the same sales rep and place very few orders with them.

What a crazy world we live in.

One thing you will probably never do is split sycamore lengthwise. It just won't.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
