    Breaking News: Armed protester in Louisville shoots self and two others.

    He wasn't alone, he had some buddies for back up, but they were definitely outnumbered. The protesters seem to lose their desire for confrontation rapidly after one of them got floored, except for one very loudmouth 20 something girl, she was banking on him not hitting a female. But I loved...

    PayPal makes me want to pull my hair out!

    Let me start by saying I'm some dumb not plum dump. While trying to pay one of our members for the awesome, and very much appreciated work he performed on my radio, I ran into this aggravating problem.

    grounding rod question

    That's really good money for 1976. The money's still pretty good, it's taken a little bit of a hit but still pays better than anything around home. If I ever quit I'll miss the money and the time off.

    grounding rod question

    Welcome to the forum. This is the G Golly Wally train of thought, to piss me off or offend me I first have to value your opinion, that being said the only opinion I for sure value is God's and my own opinion of myself, the rest I can pick and choose. :)

    Breaking News: Armed protester in Louisville shoots self and two others.

    I find it a joke that the mayor of Chicago is basically anti police, but she wanted more police officers to protect her. Seems hypocritical.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I'm up here in West Virginia, working Slowmover but glad you thought of me. LC sent me a text, he's finishing up on my mic, then it's just a matter of paying him and getting my equipment back. My Maddison looks amazing, can't wait to see it in person.:)
