I guess it's just my old work ethic and living the old days when I could experiment with new toys, like satillte systems etc. We would come up with ideas and have the budget and means to test the theory. Those were fun days. Imagine, an idea, design it, with your own design "guru's" to turn your...

I would like to see our current Secretary of Defense as VP, no chance in hell. Jerry Curry would be could but he is as old as McCain,too bad, he is VERY experianced in defense, intell , started life as a private and worked his way up to general. Not a easy feat for a man of mixed race in the...

No Greg, not in the intell business, you had to get up to 15 or higher to be a big time boss. In the old days you could advance all the way to 18 without a degree. The best "higher ups" I EVER worked for in my 20 years in the business were the old timers that started at the bottom and worked...

It is but it is normal paint. I was wondering if the added thermal properties of this stuff would help. They claim it makes a big difference on the busses. I sure see it every where. Wish there was a way to get things like this tested by an indepentdent lab. It is very expensive to try things on...

I am not sure about getting rid of the electrorial college. That would insure that if 8-10 big cities vote one way, which they always do, the same party or idea would win. Always. What we need to do is the following: A candidate must win 26 states to win the presidency. To win a state that...

If you can call what he has experiance. After all, he is ONLY a Senator and we all know what a waste of air they are. Remember the old saying, "IF you can't do teach and if you can't teach go into politics." or something like that. Layoutshooter

Ever wonder why there are SOOO may intelligence failures these days? Now you know. That policy of only promoting and hiring people with degress was instituted turning the Clinton administration. No one could be promoted past GS12 without a degree. It could be in basketweaving or what ever, just...

Has anyone in here ever used any of the products by a company called HY-Tech? They make ceramic paints. You see thier stuff on school busses every where. The white paint on the roofs. It is designed to keep the interiors of the busses cooler. I was thinking of paint the top of my cargo box and...

We are going to start looking at that, this is not good here. layoutshooter

I was taught is was due to the possibilty of losing control, sliding on the tracks themselfs. Don't know if that is correct. Layoutshooter

And besides, the last time I checked it was NOT illegal to invest in real estate in this country. Or is this one of the things that will be outlawed in Osama Obama's Brave New World? Think that would apply to the Kennedy's multiple propertys? Or the Kerry's? Need I go on? Layoutshooter

Did McCain buy his legally? It seems that Osama Obama might not have bought his multi-million dollar mansion in a legal manor. His 2% BELOW market price interest rate, secured with the help of a convicted felon. No down payment. No credit check. No closing costs. No loan origination fees. I can...

You are so right talcal, much better to be a REAL man like Osama Obama and let newborn babies die on the table without ANY medical care. After all, a baby to him is a punishment or inconvience. Don't nuke murders or the enemies of this country who attack heavily defended buildings in New York...

Hey OVM here is a list of suggestions for .22 caliber rifles. They are ONLY suggestions and HEAVELY based on my personal bias. LOL. You might even see if there is an instructor at the club you were talking about and see if they have a rifle to try during a first lesson to see if you even like...

LOL, my english teacher is turning over in her grave when I write in here. I agree somewhat about the degree and capitolism. BUT, don't apply it as the ONLY thing. Let's say I go up against a 25 year old for a job. I have 42 years in the work force and he has a degree in basket weaving (a...

I am glad to see the new macro, that will help. I understand the reason for the new dispatch system. I don't care for it much, from my way of thinking, not FedEx's. I prefere to speak with people. BUT, FedEx has a business to run, so do I. My business and FedEx's are some what tied together...

Tell ya one thing, for as much money as I am spending on fuel trying to keep this truck cool enough to breathe we could have stayed at a Ritz/Carlton and come out ahead!!! Had a clean shower, a real bed ................. Layoutshooter

Sounds like fun, a NW convention. Much like here in Phoenix this weekend. There are 5 FedEx trucks in the "J" lot, only 4 are checked in. Guess the other guy just likes sitting in 110 heat in a urine soaked parking lot. I know we do!!!! GEEZ. Layouthsooter

Got it!! I am a bit slow on the up take at times. You know, part-timers disease!!! What little brain I have left only works part of the time!!!! layoutshooter

Gee LDB, I can remember when job promotions were based on performance and ability much as you described. When being able to do a job was worth more than pieces of paper. When experance was worth more than book learning. Ever wonder why things are soooo screwed up any more? Not me. That is how we...
