Random Thoughts.....

During those hot Summer days when I'm in a t-shirt and shorts and want to carry but not print the S&W Bodyguard .380 works great. My iPhone is more noticeable in my pocket.
 
Why do all my m12 and m18 tools have lights besides my damn chainsaw…. Case of beer down and I wanna cut the neighbors tree and I gotta hold a flashlight with my beer hand
The result is a lot more entertaining if you don't

You look when you cut?
 
This is probably the best answer l've ever heard to the question, "Why did God create evil?"
READ THIS...

Why did God create evil? The answer struck me to the core of my soul!

A professor at the university asked his students the following question:

- Everything that exists was created by God?
One student bravely answered:
- Yes, created by God.
- Did God create everything? - a professor asked.
"Yes, sir," replied the student.

The professor asked :

- If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.

The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said:

- Can I ask you a question, professor?
"Of course," replied the professor.
A student got up and asked:
- Professor, is cold a thing?
- What kind of question? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?
Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered:

- Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist.
According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees
Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature.

Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.

A student continued:
- Professor, does darkness exist?
— Of course it exists.
- You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness.
We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.

In the end, the young man asked the professor:
- Sir. does evil exist?
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
- Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.

To this, the student answered:
- Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It's the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there's no light.

The student's name was Albert Einstein.



I haven't fact checked any of the source but the thinking has always been clear to me.
 
I’m getting daffy as I get older. I’ve always sworn I would never buy one of those expensive cans of premixed two stroke fuel. I found one in my garage yesterday on a shelf. It was half empty. I have no recollection of buying it or using it, but there is zero chance it was anyone but me. It scares me a little. I wish I could advance that process to something much larger. It would be awesome to walk out into my garage one day and find my Jeep finished and have no recollection of how it got to that state.

Those cans save me lol 😂 but I never buy “mower” gas anyways. Always use the West Virginia credit card and siphon it out of a jeep or hot rod.
 
My trimmer has never had anything but the premix can fuel. It starts on the third pull even after sitting all winter. That stuff is the only reason I still use 2 stroke stuff. Another benefit I love about them is I can leave a can in the truck and there's ZERO fumes.
 
Agreed. I was a grumpy old man about the stuff until i saw the light. my big chainsaws that only come out once or twice a year pop right off when they have been sitting with VP 50:1 in the tank. i don't know what type of stabilizer or something is in there, but my 2 cycle engines will never get anything else from now on.
 
More of why schools are over budget :shaking:

and this.

Is it lazy and expensive? yes.

Is fucking with an extra can and the smell and getting an extra stabilizer at the right concentration worth the few dollars a year saved? Hell no.
 
so are we just making up fun catastrophic sounding weather terms now?

The prank will be amazing if someone is smart enough to put a giant "F" before the A.
Back in the day, you know this would happen.
These days people are too much of pansies for such shenanigans

I work across the street from the NC School of the arts, and their sign routinely gets this treatment
