    When I was 16, I played in the Metropolitan Ice Hockey Association for the West NY Vics Juniors. Kevin Flynn and I were the youngest (and smallest) members of the team. Most of the team members were from Hell's Kitchen and a pretty tough bunch. We had the opportunity to play a game in the...

    I'm retired and on Medicare so I'll just leave this here...

    Still working and took SS when I reached full retirement age. You are automatically enrolled in Part A once you start receiving SS. The company I work for has a very good benefits and covered by BC/BS but will need to enroll in other plans within 8 months following retirement. The thing that...

    Rejoice Americans! RFK confirmed.

    The psychotropic drugs are the elephant in the room. They dispense this stuff like candy when kids are having emotional issues and instead of working though it they prescribe these medicines. They are incredibly dangerous and once prescribed are extremely difficult to stop taking. Nearly...

    They need to go after these NGO's under RICO and claw back the money.

    Physical Fitness Getting old sucks

    Take care of it ASAP. Complete tear of mine a couple of years ago and waited too long to have it attached. Per the Ortho there is about a two week window for reattachment after which scar tissue builds up.

    Every individual including judges, DOJ and prison officials involved in the political persecution and denial of rights of these individuals need to be held accountable. An absolute stain on our judicial system.

    If you ever get a chance to see Allison in concert ( sans Robert Plant) with Union Station go. Saw her several years ago when they were playing music from the O Brother, How Art Tho movie. Incredible musicianship.

    Sartorius Entris 64-1S Drifting

    Changes in room temperature will cause it to drift even on conditioned line. No big deal and just re-tare when it gets out of range, I do check to see if kernels wound up where they weren't supposed to be on occasion. Use a Harrell to throw the powder into pan then trickle up.

    Decent quality stick welder

    Thanks for the reply. 210's are good little machines and had one years ago. Main mig I use in the shop is Millermatic 255 and especially like the pulse function on thick material downside is it's heavy and not really practical to use outside the shop. Little mig for use outside the shop or...

    2018 4Runner TRD Pro just turned 215K and running great. Other than routine maintenance never been in the shop for repairs. Crawled over many a shelf road in the San Juans.
