  1. I finally finished cleaning up all the edges yesterday. I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I learned a few things I would probably do a little differently next time. Here's a couple shots of the final result.

    And of course the requested shot of the gun out of the holster.

  2. Yeah, I use a safety razor with feather blades to shave and soap and brush and all that, but I don't get the whole collecting or obsessing over this or that shave oil business. To each his own I guess. I'd imagine it is something that is cheap enough if you are just collecting the old razors. The other stuff gets pricey pretty quick though.

  3. Would love something small like a Casita, but there are two and a half of us now and possibly more coming. Been kinda on the lookout for a small popup that is light weight. Would love one with a deck on the front. Do an axle flip so we can take it down rougher forest service and BLM roads, toss a generator and a small water tank on the deck and we could go pretty much anywhere.

    Currently on a camping/hiking road trip. I’ll have good photos later, but here’s a few phone shots.

    Nice. Have you checked out Muley Point at the top of the Moki Dugway? Take a left on the dirt road as soon as you get to the top of the Moki Dugway and drive to the very end. It's one of my favorite scenic points in that area.

    Especially if that law and order is enforced selectively.

    Tresspass is being on the property of another without permission. States have different standards for whether or not the owner or the trespassers have the burden of the knowledge of tresspassing (in Texas there have to be signs posted, purple paint, fences, row crop agriculture, or some sort of verbal or written notification. Some states say the potential trespassers must show proof they are allowed on the property regardless of any notification from the landowner). Every state pretty much says that once a person has been asked to leave and they refuse they are guilty of tresspassing. There was no selective enforcement of this law in this case other than the guys being taken to the station and released instead of being simply escorted off the property (what should have happened). No amount of civil rights law supersedes this. Yes, the shop owner was most likely racist, but that has no bearing on whether these men legally committed tresspass or whether the police were justified in at least escorting them off the premises. The problem is not selective enforcement of the law by the police (other than maybe what I have already mentioned) but selective application of it by the manager.

      It is classic selective enforcement of the law.  You seem to struggling with with this concept despite your bold language above.  I can't tell why.

    I have said all along that this is on Starbucks, or the manager more specifically. It's possible for the police to do their job and the manager of the coffee shop to be the POS in this instance. I will agree that the cops should have done nothing more than escort them outside. They probably went overboard by taking them in. If instead the cops were escorting out Christians who were passing out tracts or just talking to people about their faith I would feel the same way. I don't want cops to make the decision on whether or not anybody is being sufficiently tolerant when enforcing tresspassing law against people who have been asked to leave and refuse. I do want racist store managers/owners/POSes to suffer the consequences for their actions in both civil court and the court of public opinion.

    What part of the white folks not having to buy a drink and not getting kicked out did you miss?

    What does that have to do with law enforcement's duty to enforce tresspass law when requested by the owner or manager of a business? Obviously these folks were discriminated against, but some folks here seem to want the police to serve in place of the courts when it comes to certain things.

    Selective enforcement of laws based on the race of the alleged violator is the problem. That happens way too often in this country.

    Once you are asked to leave and refuse you are tresspassing. How were the cops practicing selective enforcement of the law? Are you saying that this Starbucks asks everyone who doesn't immediately order a drink to leave? Or are you claiming that the cops only walk out colored folks in handcuffs after they've refused to leave when asked? Unless you are claiming the latter, I don't see how the cops are selectively enforcing the law. They seem to be enforcing it to the letter. The shop owner or manager seems to be the one who doesn't understand how the civil rights act works or why it was even necessary in the first place.

  9. It's funny how many people want the cops to interpret the constitution when it comes to stuff like this. The fact is that their job is to enforce the law, not interpret it. If those fellows were (wrongly) asked to leave and they refused to comply they were tresspassing. And the cops enforced that law. How many other rights do ya'll want to leave up to the interpretation of the cops? How about we just let them do their own interpretation of the fourth amendment and search anybody they damn well please? Cant have it both ways. The courts will sort this out and hopefully justice will be served to the racist coffee shop owners.

    We’re at 16months now and right in the middle of this. Kid loves whole milk. We buy organic. It’s obviously more expensive but when compared to formula it’s pennies.

     

     

    We had to do the non dairy formula when ours 1.5 year old was younger, but we were able to switch her to an organic  toddlers formula when she turned one or so. We transitioned her to regular milk a month or two before she was one and a half because she was drinking so much formula. We still buy organic milk, but the savings is significant compared to the formula. We had to cut her off cold Turkey because she refused to drink any mix at first. It only took a day or two for her to adjust to the new stuff.

    Our 5 yo son is in the “Why?” stage with everything we say. This can be taxing when he surpasses the record for consecutive questions set by McCauley Culkin in Uncle Buck.

    "To make little boys ask questions" was always my grandad's  stock answer.

  12. Was just in Guanajuato in January with my wife and toddler. Didn't see any signs of anything shady while I was there. Closest thing was a bunch of well armed federales who came to eat at the restaurant we were eating menudo at in Doctor Mora, Guanajuato because of the livestock auction where there was large amounts of cash.
