    Hello from Las Vegas

    FWIW, here is a picture of our very own expedite stars TeamCaffee standing in front of their namesake Petro Stopping Center in North Las Vegas. :D

    Well, they got 2 of them out. That's awesome. Apparently, if it rains much more, and it looks like it's going to, they won't be able to pump faster than the water is rushing in. So now is the best option. They may end up being forced to pause and reassess, regardless. They say it could take 4...

    It's a 5-6 hour trip, with about a 1-mile underwater swim. I'm an excellent swimmer (or rather, used to be), former lifeguard, and have SCUBA certification Level 2 (autonomous, open water diving), I'm nowhere near qualified to make such a trip, even back when I was diving frequently. And these...

    I'm not comfortable in the crawl space under the house. A cave? I live practically right next to Mammoth Cave. I've never been in there. My hat's off to these kids for not losing their [crap] by day 3. I hope they can get these kids out of there soon, and not have to wait months.

    The Trump Card...

    I dunno. The Kingston fossil fuel plant in TN was scheduled to close down in 2017, but directly because of the regulation rollbacks it remains open. I delivered there a few days after the decision to close had been made it, and everyone was sad. I then delivered there a couple of weeks before it...

    The Trump Card...

    The CNN White House reporter who reported on Pruitt could barely contain her glee over Pruitt's resignation. A big smile from ear to ear during the entire report. It was hilarious. I agree that Ajit Pai at the FCC needs to go. He spent too many years working as a lobby lawyer for Verizon...

    A graceful exit with a Michelob Ultra bottle stuck on your toe? I don't think do. :D

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

    Of course they are. Often, you'll see the Five Founding Ideals listed as... Democracy - a government when the power is in the hands of the people. Rights - powers given to people under the law. Liberty - being independent and free. Opportunity - the chance for success. Equality - the state...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

    The founding ideals of the United States remain to this day unique in the world. The rest of the world would strongly disagree that world has the same ideals as goals. Those same goals arguably should be for the world, but they are not.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

    Ideals as lofty and unique in the world as those upon which the United States of America was founded can never be fully achieved. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be the goal to work towards.

    Plant Based Diets

    But what? Corn is a plant, with or without the quotes. If you want a discussion on whether or not corn, soy, and other energy-dense grains should fed to cattle just prior to sale and slaughtering to fatten them up and increase carcass size, that's probably best for another thread. I will...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

    Full quote... "True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on earth, universal brotherhood and good will, and a constant and earnest striving toward the principles and ideals on which this country was...

    Cows eat plants, so they're plant based. And fries are plants to begin with. :D

    ac nightmare in sprinter van

    It's either low coolant, or insufficient airflow over the condenser. For low coolant, that's easy - just have it recharged and checked for leaks. For insufficient air flow, It's probably the aux fan right in front of the condenser. They've been known to go bad, or a fuse might be blown. Any...
