    Yesterday was a gender reveal for my first grandbaby....Robert Patrick McCants will be making his appearance in early November.  Lots of family and friends over to help put away hotdogs and hamburgers as well.
    Today is just for chillin.  Might go for a ride this afternoon after the kids head for home.  less

    I'm thinking this same think would work well for the larger branches on the trees.  May have to give it a try.
    WARNING. Yes it works but it will grab and yank it away from you at times. BE VERY CAREFUL, I speak from experience (no blood, just a cut water tank)
     
    Use a finer toothed blade (plywood blade) or run the blade in reverse.  That'll fix the yankinbut will also cut slower.

    The navy hosp would be an active duty facility and, to my understanding, only avail to active and retired.  And this is why TriCare Prime exists, so those of us who don't live near a facility can get our care.  Only with the advent of "Affordable Care" this option was taken away from me because I live too far from a facility.  Go Figure!  less

    A diamond after being mined is "rough cut" before final cutting and polishing.  In the rough cut, you can see what the final product will be, but it is just not there yet.  My wife for nearly 37 years has called me her diamond in the rough hence RufCut.  And, no, she hasn't yet managed to get me polished.  I continue to strive to present her with new facets to work on.

They are the toughest little $#@&$#(*&$(@*#&$ you can try and cut...Until I got creative...Definitely not OSHA approved though I'm thinking this same think would work well for the larger branches on the trees.  May have to give it a try. WARNING. Yes it works but it will grab and yank it away from you at times. BE VERY CAREFUL, I speak from experience (no blood, just a cut water tank)   Use a finer toothed blade (plywood blade) or run the blade in reverse.  That'll fix the yankinbut will also cut slower.

    Actually, that 8K doesn't sound too far off the mark to me.  When I retired from the Army in 94, I did my last move myself.  They rented the truck and paid me 4K to move from west TX to East TX.   That was, they said, 80 percent of what it would have cost them.  Good luck in your endeavors.

    Honda tried that a while back on the Goldwing.  Don't know if they still have it where any brake application (foot or hand) actuated both front and rear.

    Nearest VA hosp is 95 miles to Dallas, Active duty facilities are 130 miles to Ft Worth or Barksdale AFB, or 175 miles to Ft Hood.  I think anything beyond 50 miles is considered "out of area".  The Dallas VA is the one I swore never to return to.  I have drivers who still use the Dallas VA and they say it still hasn't improved much.  I actually went off on a coworker who tried to tell a driver he could just get his appt rescheduled becuse it was middle of the week or some such and he wouldn't/couldn't just send him 150-200 miles to get him home on time.  Kid didn't have a clue.  He does now.  His vets don't miss appts.
