  1. I have been with my employer for almost 34 years. And, like you, in various capacities including engineering. Today we had a group of engineers together of about 10 of us with about half of us there with 25 plus years with the company. We were reviewing and editing a spreadsheet that I had put together. I was doing one of the repeating steps rather clumsily and one of the young engineers spoke up on an easier way to do it. I thanked him for his contribution and told him that is why we have youngsters in the organization. He admittedly said that he had just Googled on how to do the shortcut.
  2. I have run Coopers in the past but not ATs and had good success. Certainly something to consider. Thanks for the advice.
  3. I have a 3-1/2 year old granddaughter. I was recently at my daughter's house and we were all outside watching my granddaughter showing off on her T-handle scooter (skateboard looking thing). My SIL pulls out his skateboard and is skating around while my granddaughter is on her scooter. My granddaughter asks me to ride the skateboard. I haven't been on a skateboard in YEARS!! But who am I to tell my granddaughter "no"? How hard could it be as I still consider myself athletic for my age? Found my way onto the board and managed to do some Figure-8's for a few minutes without wiping out or falling off. But let me tell you, it was nothing like it used to be. As I was rolling around all I could think of was all of the things that could go wrong. Just another moment of feeling mortal.
  4. Looking for tire recommendations. I have a 2020 Chevy Crew-cab 1500 LT Z71 4WD. I do a lot of highway driving with the occasional dirt or gravel roads when camping or hiking. Presently running Bridgestone Dueler A/T 275/60R20 115S M+S. They have around 62,000 miles on them and I have been happy with them. Have driven them through rain, sleet and snow. Not opposed to going back with them but just checking on any alternatives with either performance or cost differences.
  5. Now he says that the face mask should have been called.
  6. Color commentator is an idoit.
  7. Hmmm...it is dusty where I am too. What a talent and special person.
  8. All of these. With emphasis on all.
  9. This site prompted me to get my first one just over a month ago. I have had Colonguard kits sent to me twice but never got around to pooping into a box. I do not have to go back for 10 years. I am 56. Just know, at least for me, once I started to take the tablets the flushing of the body began almost immediately. Make sure that you are near a toilet once you begin the process and plan not to stray too far off. Otherwise you will be posting in the Shart 2022 thread.
  10. I still have DirecTV. I am old. I like flipping channels and seeing the "guide". However, FOX and DirecTV are at odds. Haven't had FOX for a couple of months now. Not happy.
  11. That is a hard “no” for me.
  12. I have missed just 3 days of work over a 34 year period due to illness. The first shingles shot kicked my butt. My temp shot up to 103 and I had chills and sweats. I received it on a Friday and was out of commission Friday night and Saturday morning. Once my fever broke I was fine and dandy. The second shingles shot had no adverse effect at all.
  13. Yellowstone has become like a car wreck. You drive by it and try not to look at the carnage but you just cannot help yourself and you look anyway. I still enjoy the show overall but the Beth sequences are getting a bit tiresome but it is "the way" now with her. Just as Al Capone was taken down for tax evasion is Beth going to be taken down for committing an assault and for not all of the other nefarious things? Is she the new "Scarface"?
  14. At home for a change in the 75650 TEXAS!
  15. Saving Private Ryan Watched it for the upteenth time. Still get emotional every time I see it. I still remember the first time I saw it at it’s release in the theater. The crowd was in complete silence as we left. With each viewing I see something or hear something new each time. Such a great movie.
  16. At the end I believe that Jamie becomes the hero and saves the ranch and puts Beth in her place but finds pity for John Dutton.
  17. From the 75650 and heading to Austin for the game! FIGHT!!!!
  18. This drives me crazy too. I hate a dirty windshield. I do a lot of road trips. My solution:
  19. I wish! Been on a business trip to the mines in Kalumbila, Zambia FIGHT!!!
  20. Already had one flight today from Kulambila to Lusaka.
  21. Sitting at the Lusaka, Zambia International Airport awaiting my flight to Johannesburg, then ATL, then SHV, then drive home to Texas. Will be home by noon Saturday to catch the game on TV! TEXAS !!!
  22. I am an avid collector of WW2 memoralia. I have a collection of well over 100 US uniforms (Ike jackets and 4-pocket dress tunics) from the ETO and MTO. Many of them have multiple names or other forms of IDs written inside the uniforms. So yes, uniforms were recycled for one reason or another. It was also common to pilfer for gear particularly in the colder climates.
  23. A college buddy of mine had the expectation that walking is a right and driving is a privilege. Therefore in his mind he had the right-away. He was hit crossing 21st Street between Gregory Gym and Jester and was hit by a motocyclist. It only broke his wrist and skinned him up a bit.
  24. There are some lazy mofos in this world. Just look at all of the people that ride scooters around grocery stores, etc. that magically get up and walk to their cars in the lot. Or people that cannot walk an extra 50 feet to put their carts in the cart corral.
