  1. I really thought Covid was pretty much behind us until the wife started feeling bad. We have taken every precaution possible and still wear our mask in public to avoid contracting the virus. Needless to say, the wife is about 10 days in and I'm now a week into it. I have to say that I feel the worst I've felt in years and I don't wish the virus on anyone. It is really kicking my a$$ to the point I may have to make a trip to the ER. I'm afraid they will admit me to the hospital or I would go now. I found out that the virus has made a resurgence in our little part of the world and we are considered in the "Red zone". Just a warning, don't let your guard down on this virus, especially the old farts like me.

  2. When I was teaching in the diesel program at the local community college, one of the welding students snuck out and poured a qt. of oil down the stack of his buddy's truck.  You talk about a sight. He thought he's blown it up and his daddy done told him no more money. I laughed my fat a$$ off watching him squirm. Still chuckle a little when I think about it.

  3. Used to see a lot of black smoke here until the Feds moved in. Those hefty fines took their toll. If I remember correctly, it was 3-5k for first offense, maybe more. I have CRS syndrome so I may be wrong. They fined a business not far from here 100k for modifying emissions systems.

  4. Many people don't know and most probably care but in 1966, our wonderful congress made professional sports teams tax exempt. No wonder they can pay crazy salaries to participants. No wonder it's great to be a team owner.

  5. Was watching a documentary on oil production the other day on TV and they talked about the billions and billions and billions of dollars worth of natural gas that's being released by the oil rigs into the atmosphere every day. I can't believe no one is screaming about that. Natural gas burns pretty clean as I recall.
