    I have a few like that.    Let me know when you want to start selling them.    

    i have a whole closet full of stained clothes with holes in them if people would buy them id gladly sell them, the ones that smell like gear oil might be a tougher sale though...lol

  2. there are defiantly some short cuts really you can just back the break off all the way and pop the band clamp the return spring does not have that much pressure and the push rod for the park break does not reach the back side of the break can. but the more ways you can isolate the energy the better and i don't want to get someone hurt. 

     

    i keep a spare half can and pancake in my jockey box. because its not near as common practice as it used to be they are not kept in stock a whole lot of places anymore. but iv bought an entire 3030 brake can before just to take the piggy back off of it to install it in a parking lot. 

     

    the video isn't bad some of the edits are a little chunky and could have made it flow a little better but it takes a lot of extra time to make video's between the time moving setting up camera's explaining things then editing any voice over ect. i just kinda put that one out without some of the fine tuning of the finished product but the information is all there. 

  3. i think your argument is invalid its not just the density needed for homes/buildings stores ect. but how how many square miles does each person require in terms of how many square miles does it take to raise/grow the food that is consumed by each person per year. how many square miles does it take for the water shed to fill the rivers and that is turned into drinking water. how much land does it take to process the waste created by each person. 

     

    you look at a state like north Dakota that has a very low population density but very little of the land is un touched. its all farmland or oilfields witch is tilled and cultivated pesticides and fertilizers applied ect ect. (even cereal is unsafe to eat thread) in order to produce higher yields. the run off of witch goes into the ground water and rivers how much land does it take to absorb and purify that. how much land is disturbed to produce the diesel fuel that powers the tractors that till the fields and put gas in the cars that transport the people to there jobs, transport the food from the fields to the processors to the stores. 

     

    i think to answer the question you really would need to figure out how much land is indirectly affected by each person and i bet the numbers would be far higher than one would expect. 

    then how much of the land in the world is actually suitable to be a cleansing garden of Eden. 

    green energy can certainly play a big part in reducing the foot print of each person. i don't think the technology is quite there yet. it will come. however the technology needs to get to the point where its competitive with fossil fuels before it will become more widely implemented. 

    i think global warming is a crock of you know what but i do believe that each persons footprint does make a difference in the overall health of the planet.

      Guy is trying to open all your doors and she doesn't call 911?  Far too trusting in my opinion- Knocking on doors is one thing-trying to gain entry???

    As for your PD response, I think I would be in the chief's office in the morning given their response.

      As for cameras, good post-I'm wondering the same thing.  I have a hard wired system and my alarm monitoring co. charges 300 a year.  Plus I have some circuits that are out-  One of my kids just bought two cameras for 200 bucks-tied to their phones.  I had to go over his house the other day to pick up a set Deere forks he had borrowed and my phone rings-the d-in law.  She says "Hi that you that just drove in?-she is at work and it dinged her cell!

    she didn't do very good the first time he showed up the second time he showed up she did a much better job. we really have not had any issues in the past here. i worked with her a bit on drills today and will be doing more in the future. we have not really had any problems here in the past. ill be home on some week days next week i will definitely be paying the chief a visit.

    If you do it yourself don't get wireless,  I used wireless at my shop due to the cable runs would be 150' but the cameras lose contact with the base monitor constantly, useless.

    im glad you guys have brought up the issues with wireless wireless probably would have been my preference if you guys had not mentioned the issues. 

  5. so yesterday i was on my way home but still a few hours out. my other half was at home alone. and some guy showed up at the house frantically banging on the doors and then going around and trying to push on the doors going from door to door of the house including the back door threw the gate. and rattle the door handles. when she tried to peer out to get a look he was trying to look inside the windows so she quickly ducked back around the corner and waited it out with my smith and Wesson model 19, loaded with hollow point 357 rounds. waiting to blow the guy away if he made entry into the house. after several mins the guy left. didn't get a description but called the non emergency police number to report the suspicious activity with out a description of the guy or anything else mostly just in case there was a developing pattern in the area. 

    then about 45 mins later the same guy showed back up again. she was able to get a better description of the guy his vehicle and a partial plate. and a call to 911 as it was happening. the guy didn't stay as long the second time and was gone by the time the police arrived. of course the cops were pretty rude and acted like she was wasting there time, asking her questions like are you drinking and how do you know it wasn't just a salesman or something. they did agree that trying to open the doors and look in the windows was suspicious activity though. they made a report although i don't expect there to be any follow up on it based off there attitude. i was still a couple hours out from home old mack running on the rev limiter. 

    although we live in a pretty nice neighborhood and not really had any problems in the past i think some home security camera's would probably be a wise investment, would gather far more information in a situation like that than a person could possibly remember. i was wondering if any of you guys might have any recommendations on a good home security camera system say 5 camera's and good enough quality of picture to be able to read a licence plate at 50 feet away. if nothing else would help explain to the cops why there is a bullet riddled corpse in my house should someone gain entry.

    True. The bottom line is too many people that want too much stuff.

    And regulating the population isn't going to happen. No country wants to be weak by having too few people.

    Population control won't/shouldn't happen. It goes against human nature.

  7. the human race is a invasive species that has taken over the planet and over populated. at some point the earth will balance itself out by wiping the majority if not all of us off the planet. the simple fact is no mater what you do the earth cannot support the population of the human race.

    HAHAHAHAHHA............

    LMAO Lucas is a big part of the reason why i put a Chevy engine in my jag. i bet that big block jag is a blast. i probably would have gone big block if i didn't already have a rebuildable small block laying around when i decided to chevy swap it.

    Let me know how much the Judge sets your bail at, that’s what I’ll offer your wife for the Gray Rocket. 

    it might need a new set of rear tires by then just so you know....lol along with the smoke it seems to have some kind of issue that makes the back tires wear faster than normal.
