lol, my mom used to make my older sisters fetch something to beat me with. 🤣
my sisters were sympathetic (well, one of them was), but if what they brought to my mom broke before seeming to elicit the proper response before breaking, they could also be in trouble. :oops:

I think the real punishment was the psychological impact of cutting the branch you were about to be disciplined with, knowing that discipline involved instant pain and often pain that would be felt for a few more days. If I went to school with "stripes", my friends would all laugh and the teachers would ask if I had learned anything.
I always lied and said, "yes".
Fast forward to the days I was a school teacher. If I saw a kid with "stripes" I was supposed to report it to the child agencies. Thing is, I did see stripes a few times, but only on the most polite and productive kids. They are the kids who had parents actually show up at the conferences. The shit head kids had shit head parent(s) and even when they did show up, it was to blame the teachers for their inadequate parenting skills.

Mike, Mike, Mike....when I was saying "you", it wasn't directed at YOU. You are too self absorbed.

Nope, I understand how you can be used as a general term but I’m part of the conversation. You’re saying belts aren’t shit…switches(pretty much go the sake of the argument). We also experienced the same treatment as millennials. I’m pointing out it wasn’t a just “you” punishment.

You(singular) decided to read into it however you wanted.

ah, you had it a lot "worse" than me. my mom could never really whoop me proper, but i learned to "behave" pretty quick from my dad.
the only thing i ever got beaten more than once for was fighting, and even then it wasn't for fighting as much as getting my mom upset because somebody else's mom came to our door to tell on me. :p

Well, look back there...YOU said "you have no clue you just keep assuming"...those "you"'s were not a generalization. I took it as YOU posted it. If YOU want to atone, go cut a switch for some self flagellation. :LOL::LOL:

Yes I was talking to you the singular about me and the age GROUP I’m in, that isn’t me being self absorbed that’s addressing you. You seem to be the one confused I can read your post and know “you” is the plural group version while also responding to you alone…since you alone typed it. This isn’t rocket science.

Self absorbed would be acting as though I’m the only one experiencing something…which I am doing the opposite of.

What are we switching to next?

Yeah...my mom could put on a whooping. She had to. I had 3 little brothers and my dad was KIA Vietnam when I was 8. But the absolute worst was when we were with some extended family. 8 boys within 3 years of each other. Some were actually a generation older. My great uncles could put on a whooping and then make you sit against a wall or a tree until your legs gave out. We usually didn't make that mistake again.
As far as fighting went, my mother never got on to me for fighting. She even defended me at school many times. I never threw the first punch (at school) and was "only defending myself", even when my 6th grade buddy had to be taken to the hospital via ambulance after he punched me for "tackling" him during flag football in PE. Of course, I was still not allowed to go back to that school for the rest of the year and she had to drive me to another school for about a month. That guy and I were close friends for the next 15 or so years before he was killed logging. His mom always hated me but his dad was always real good to me. He had a Freedom Arms 454 Casull I lusted for.

See...in my original post that we are still discussing, even there, the "you" is not even directed at any generation. Come on man...get with the program.

It was a response to my post, so I replied back that we also had the same treatment

You quoted me, I didn’t come in third party guns blazing lol. I quoted lbc because he said belt broke, there was no reason for me to bring up switches…then you come in saying what boils down to “you think that’s bad….”, and I replied about a whole group.


But that’s somehow self absorbed

yeah, my mom didn't care about the fighting either, but she didn't like some random neighbor lady giving her shit.
she might defend me to the neighbor, but she'd still get worked up and angry that she had to "deal with it".

Even if all pumps didn’t have corrosion resistant coatings are we really going to let the city burn to save a few pumps?

I may have mentioned it in another thread. I’m not familiar with the shore access in the Palisades area, but the average Wildland Fire Engine has a maximum height from inlet to tank for Drafting operations and only carry’s about 20’ of suction hose. I would imagine that locations that an engine can get close enough to draft are few and far between in an area that has such extensive beaches. Even when drafting from a river, we had to get very close to the water to get our pump to work.

If it was that long ago you’d have been a pedophile more than likely for that to take place. My near 100 grandpa makes those jokes.

That joke didn’t work out lol

You can only suck water 32’ up IIRC but the city could fill tankers all day long down at the harbor

You can put pumps and dump tanks with more trucks between….also you can pump water to the top of 100+ foot ladders, and buildings, water towers, etc not using suction. You can feed the truck (that’s how hydrants fill them) without suction and have it push water farther up hill. I’ve definitely pumped water 112 feet in the air with enough pressure to shoot water pretty damn far.

It’s 33.9’ technically, bitch

I agree with that. Every pier and wharf should have drafting set ups with a manifold, pump, and IC engine for filling tankers. Another problem with this is weight limits on the piers and wharfs. Unfortunately some of these thoughts/ideas don’t gain traction until AFTER the fact.

There are these things called boost pumps that you just put right at the edge of the pond, creek, river, ocean that pushes water to where you want it.
Our Engine carried 2 gasoline powered portable pumps and we carried 50 gallons of gasoline. They could push water many feet of head but, of course, all pumps push better than pull so they needed to be fairly close to the source. They were heavy bitches and needed 2-3 guys to carry very far. 2" discharge lines and IFIRC, 3" hard suction lines. I do not recall ever using them other than to test on schedule but they were there to supply water or remove water if needed.

What? I mean you were in school. She must have been old enough.

EDIT: If your grandpa is actually still alive at 100, that is amazing. My family is long lived except for war and "accidents" such as when a bulldozer with nothing but a seat rolled down a hill or when a tree fell on a great great uncle while squirrel hunting when he was like 15. I knew all of my great grandparents. Cherish that old man.
