Volkswagen’s Chattanooga Workers Vote for Second Time Not to Join UAW
GA_Dave replied to kscarbel2's topic in Odds and Ends
I have talked with several employees of that VW plant and they are happy with the working conditions, pay and benefits that VW is providing. They do not want the union! The UAW has been trying to force their way in since right after the plant opened. -

I would never use it if we did have it. It would not be practical for me. My chosen destinations are too specific to not have a car to get me there. Besides, I enjoy the sightseeing while I travel.

That Duster is Sublime!

Rest in peace, Sir, and Thank you! -
Another advantage to being retired, I no longer have to pee in a cup to keep my job! I've never touched the stuff, but was tested more times than I can remember during my 28 years on the job. Even my Chief knew it was unnecessary for me to get "randomly" picked as often as I was. He told me one time to just consider myself as part of the "control group"!

Feds move to consider cars with no steering wheels, brakes

Every time I go on a road trip, I swear that people already have these cars! -
Most of the time, I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize, but when I do, and I suspect them, I answer "Clayton County Sheriff's Department"! All I hear is "CLICK"!

I call my Jeep "Elizabeth Warren". It's white, but says it's a Cherokee!

Y'all should have seen Atlanta this past Tuesday. The early morning brought light rain and mid-30's temps. Atlanta shut down with a "severe weather warning". Schools were closed, people didn't go to work. By noon, the sky was blue, the roads were dry and the temp was 45......

That's some pretty damn good flying right there! "While on patrol, the pilot sees a blip coming in on his six. He executes a 180 degree turn to his left and flies directly at the enemy. As he makes his first attack run, he fires and quickly banks to his left, then his right, then a left loop around to make his second pass on the target. He gets more hits on the second pass and flies straight ahead, then loops around to his right and makes a third pass to ensure the enemy is destroyed." That's his story, and he's sticking to it!

This is a 4-Guys build.

I am a firm believer in Capitol Punishment..... ALL those B@$+ards at the Capitol should be punished!

First off, you state that it is a telesquirt. That is a term often applied to several different brands of the same device, but the most common was the Telesqurt, built by the Snorkel Company. If this is an actual Telesqurt, they company no longer exists in it's original form, but is under ownership of Smeal Fire Apparatus of Snyder, NE and is part of their LTC (Ladder Tower Company) Division. They may be able to supply you with the needed part or point you in the right direction. http://www.smeal.com
