Another situational ethics question.
Do you have something to support the parking lot comment? In TX the PO has specific "NO Guns" sign posted on all the entrance doors, not the parking lot entrance. You are saying I can't drive through the parking lot with a weapon and drop a letter in an outside box?- jrhtx

The Company Store - 2023
We had company housing (6-8/location) at compressor stations for 50+ years. It was like $30-$50/month, all utilities and most maintenance paid (AC, hot water heater, paint, etc). People lived in them for their 40 year career and then complained they didn't have any money to buy a house when...- jrhtx

Relocation - "Retirement" homestead, what state?
This x 1000. I am older than you by at least 10+ years. As you age, Dr's and medical facilities will become more important. 1 slip, 1 fall, one F'up with a chain saw.... I also am looking at moving. Tired of the heat and worrying about hurricanes on the coast. Big question is do I want to...- jrhtx

Age does not always bring wisdom
There was a news report about the “Lonesome Dove” ranch house. They had a 2 story on the plains with a sleeping porch on the 2nd floor for summers. Open on 3 sides for the breeze and covered.- jrhtx

Age does not always bring wisdom
10 Fire Houses in Houston don't have AC. The city won't let 3rd party contractors repair them (that have offered) because they have a "contract" with a nameless and I assume one that pays kickbacks to city hall. They were informed it would be the end of August before parts were available.- jrhtx

Melanoma :(
I would be afraid she would get the knife out! She is pretty fast with it. Was there for my annual and asked he to look at a spot on my knee that wouldn't heal. Was it a bite or something in it. I had been digging at it and couldn't find anything. I blinked and she had the lidocaine and a...- jrhtx

Melanoma :(
Had one removed 15 years ago. My mother had been complaining about the spot on the back of my head for several years. Finally went to the dermatologist. After biopsy and another specialist removed a "chunk" from the back of my head, it was Melanoma in-situ. Wait and see what the biopsy...- jrhtx

Colt Monitor BAR. "The most prominent part on the Monitors is the large compensator present on most of the rifles; the compensator is a Cutts-type compensator produced by Lyman Products Corporation[6] and is said to reduce the kick of the rifle, although it appears that the concussion from the...- jrhtx

HVAC advice
Check to see if either are offering rebates. Trane was but I don't know if still open. Look at an extended warranty. I had to have 2 units installed same week in October. 2 different locations 2 contractors, 1 Trane, 1 Carrier. Both said quality had gone to hell and parts were short supply...- jrhtx

I hope I'm doing this well at 83
In his 80's my grandfather could outwork any HS kid in his small town. The Dr's put a pacemaker in about 82/83 and he complained he could feel it moving in his chest when he ran to the barn (about 1/4 mile). He had a piece of pipe hung under the pole shed at his shop to do pull-up. When he was...- jrhtx

Tommy gun?
People working on old machine guns/parts are getting harder and harder to find. Some are retiring, some are passing, some don't want to deal with the BS anymore. This was 8 years ago, Merle may not be with us any more, or may not be taking any new work. Look here ...- jrhtx

These are probably Lend Lease guns so that is an issue. LL guns, as I understand, can't be brought back to the US. But CMP brought back all those M1 Garand's from S Korea a few years ago. Not sure how they were classified. I thought congress made some provision for them to be imported. Then...- jrhtx

Hospital overcrowding and testing backup
I called my PCP (who happens to be the wife of my cardiologist) because I had gotten into poison sumac. I told them I had tried all the OTC treatments and they didn’t help, could she call in a prescription for something stronger. Nope, it would be 6 weeks for the first appointment. WTF! All I...- jrhtx
