Many studies were done on those of us who worked shifts at the agency. For the most part we worked a 6-2 rotating shift. 6 days on, two off, changing shifts every week. All studies, including the one by John's Hopkins said the same thing. Shift work kills. It shortens lives by years. Our shifts...

Interesting article on the history of farm subsidies in the US. http://www.fee.org/pdf/the-freeman/0604Folsom.pdf

I had a drug dog "alert" on my truck in Canada. The Mounties made my wife and I stand out in the cold wind (sub zero temps and 30MPH winds) for 40 minutes while they tore my truck apart looking for drugs. Of course the found none. The dog was a lab pup, no more than a year old. It was wrong...

This administration is doing my business in and fast. We are working more and earning less. Costs are going up and we are being regulated to death. Don't look like they are "looking out" for the "little guy" either. I AM "Joe the truck driver" and I can prove it! I own a truck, I have a CDL and...

The main reason I don't sell mine is because I can't. NOTHING has sold around us for YEARS. The house next door has been for sale for 4.5 years now. It would also be VERY hard to find suitable storage for my toys. It is other wise a wast of money to keep.

I bought my wife a Kindle for her birthday. It's okay, better than this screen for sure. I have to try it for a while to see if I can keep my eye open when reading it. It is not print size that is the issue. The eye keeps closing. Had surgery on it once, did not work. I had an appointment with...

Something is going on, the training has already started. From what I am gathering it would seem that the prep is for open country armor fighting. Funny, not desert training.

Went by there late last night. Campgrounds were full of people. Don't know how many were sober though. :p

Yep, I was just looking at that. Interesting to be sure. I can read a bit better on line. It is hard to read and keep a train of thought when you have to close your eyes every minute or two. I am looking into the audio stuff. I can still sorta hear. Getting old sucks.

I have never even been to the library in Monroe. The township I live in does not have a library. Not enough people to support one. I am going to check out Monroe's. I don't borrow books these days, even if I could sit and read one. We are gone 300+ days a year. Makes it hard to get them...

Just Delorme on my computer and it sucks. I am never home to use the library. I have never tried looking it up on line, never thought about it.

Sorry, I don't do Cabela's, not since they "stuck it in my ear" when I worked there. I do Gander Mountain, REI and Bass Pro. I found some other places that sell that gauge, Thanks again.

Mine no longer works at all. Not a matter of how accurate.

Thanks for the input.

I want that job! I will even build my own "tower". I pick the border with Canada. I will build MY tower on the "Banana Dike". Lost of drug/human smugglers come in through those marshes down there. I will even supply my own ammo! :p

My tire gauge has given up the ghost. Are there any out there that are better than others? I looked at the Petro today, they want almost $26 for the heavier one. Looking for hints.

I thought, could be wrong, they could not be used for law enforcement against US citizens. Border security is a Federal responsibility. That is why I suggested the Army handle it. Either way, we had better do something soon, or people are going to take care of it themselves.

I moved this here. Seemed like it fit better. Hope you don't mind. That job is a job for the regular army. The Border Patrol should be disbanded. Customs can handle the rest.

"Learn the history first before you make that claim. It has been going on for decades, not just starting out. It has formed to include us when we became a part of the UN and made decisions that forced one country into accepting another's needs or demands. " It HAS been going on for decades...
