So do you think You Are Smart Enough To Be An NFL Prospect? Based on the 12 sample questions in the article, you gotta be pretty dumb not to ace the Wonderlic test. Hell, you shouldn't have graduated from high school if you can't ace this test.
Speaking of testing. Do We Need IQ Tests For Juries?
On Tuesday, the jurors had presented him with a list of ten questions which revealed that they simply did not have a clue about what they had heard as evidence, what they had been told by himself or indeed what they were supposed to be doing there at all.For example, they asked for a definition of reaching a verdict ‘beyond reasonable doubt’. This was despite the fact that the judge had already given them guidance on this in writing.

UAV Pilot
Get yer college degree in Drone Studies.
Amid a worldwide boom in unmanned aerial vehicles, a handful of U.S. colleges have begun offering classes and even four-year degrees for students looking for jobs in the fast-growing field where even newcomers can earn six-figure salaries.Jeb Bailey, 28, who has taken every drone-related course at Northwestern Michigan College, said one of his fellow students at the Traverse City, Mich., school recently landed a job operating unmanned aerial vehicles for a private military contractor overseas. “He got like $200,000 per year,” Bailey said. “And he didn’t even finish his associate’s degree.”
Al Queda is already offering up classes related to drone warfare. Here are their Tips For Dodging Drone Attacks.

Camp on a golf course
Stay in the no-drone zones
Outsource drone wiring to Lucas Electric
Use Helen Thomas as a shield. So ugly drones change direction
Wave a white flag, the drones will think you're the French
Fundamentalist muslims don't drink. Put a neon Budweiser sign on your hideout to fool the drones
Drones can detect body heat. Reptiles have no body heat so dressing up in a lizard suit will fool a drone
Set up a Sharia Barbie playset to fool the drones

I loved watching Zoe the Border Collie. What great dogs they are. I had one in Italy that we found abandoned. He was so awesome but I couldn't bring him back to the states with me when it was time to go. I found a great home for him but it truly broke my heart to leave him.

Great. I just got back from a trip to Utica. A once prosperous, bustling city now a dead hopeless hellhole like most of the rest of Upstate NY, as the liberals and greenies forced its manufacturing base out decades ago. I commented to my co-workers that what we should be doing is getting our frack on if that area is ever to be revitalized, but we're more likely to be spending time shutting down our region's Indian Point nuclear plant.
This should give Cuomo the pretext he needs to pull it's permit and fuck the NYC metro region. I've said for the past year that he'd never do it, but lately I've been less sure of that. Interesting times indeed.

Interesting article on juries...... unfortunately, like all journalists, she won't ever come to the realization that our public schools ( and England's as well)are dumbing down our children on purpose. Creating socialist government loving drones is the public education establishments one and only goal at this point in history.
FORWARD!..... to 1917 or something........ you guys.

Yes, the name Chesty is the tradition. They even give the dog a uniform and (earned) ribbons. He's often seen at events in and around the 8th and I Barracks. I met Chesty VIII a few years ago, dressed in his uniform and relaxing on the sidewalk, allowing people to pet him and take pictures.

As I previously mentioned, today, my new water heater was installed. This was not accomplished without much wailing and gnashing of teeth, mind you. It all started last night. When I got home from work, I smelled something funky. And my expensive laminate floor in the kitchen of my 68 year old home was squishy, water coming up from between the seams. Himself & I went to the big Orange Box and purchased the only 30 gallon water heater in stock, and miscellaneous flexible hoses and knuckles and Lord knows what all.
Once we got home, Himself took a sawzall to the kitchen cabinet wherein the rusted hulk was kept.Himself shut off the water valve, and drained the tank. This took at least an hour. After verifying that the time was getting late, we decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and we went to bed.
This morning, I got to be a plumber's helper. This involved an additional two trips to the Orange Box with Himself, and listening to lots and lots of whining using salty language about my "raggedy ass" old house.
By 11:30, it became apparent that Himself was in over his head, and an agreement was reached to call in a plumber. Being an old house owner, I have the plumber on speed dial. Bless him, he was there in a couple of hours after finishing up another job.
The water heater was installed and indoor plumbing restored to the little house by 3:45 pm.
All is well in my little corner of the world tonight, I am happy to report.

My dearly departed neighbor (RIP Rick) who sold me my autoloading shotty, used to reload his own 12ga, had a pretty nifty shot-maker in his garage. Don't know what happened to it, I was too slow to get any of his stuff from the widder woman. I treasure that Franchi, though, it's a nice shotgun and I'm the only one who's ever put rounds through it (he won it in some contest and never even took it out of the box).

It would be pretty easy to build a modern counterpart on a one-ton or 1.5 ton 4X4 dually chassis. Diesel preferred. Even non-armor steel plate in 3/8 or 1/2" thickness ought to stop most small-arms fire. The skate rail to support the .50 cal has to be very sturdy.
Look at the replica Vietnam gun trucks that some collectors have built on the M135 chassis. Those trucks, as surplus, are readily available, and not very expensive.
If the intended use would be to break mobs of FSA marauders, a Gatling-style 12 ga. shotgun would be an awesome main gun. As far as shooting it out with modern armor operated by the military, I don't think that would be life-enhancing.

I've gone on at length over the years...Jesus when I'm around i am a 700-2600 post per week idiot that I want to make an interlocking set of businesses when wife and i get back control of our destiny...but it has been SO long since I've been part of a win on any scale since 2010....
so anyway there are underserviced niches of Magazine demand in the C+R and foreign pistol and rifle markets Backwards Boy, Diogenes lamp and some others have machining skills and Backwards Boy is wobbly on work in the field...
I just think it would be a prudent investment and a worthy action to try to get a kickstarter going building magazines so long as there was ANY margin of profit because if we can generate a business model that works and teaches a set of skills that can be applied later to those of us in need of a new start if the thing grows it is a public service and a force multiplier.
The media is acting as sword and shield for evil right now more overtly than ever before and in still relatively unassailable because our leaders are either weak or in on the gag.....
the donks in the late 60s and early 70s were engaged in overt trial fixing and show trials and political protection of domestic terrorists, our side won't return fire on that set of lanes whether ever or yet....
so we need to outwork the bastards which ain't hard....FreeShit Army ain't driven.

the United States was born in two phases, and phase one in my eyes is the closest to divine wisdom man has generated that was arguably not whispered in man's soul directly by god but a recognition of our state before and because of Him.
The Constitution was a tune up.
That Barry Soetoro deigns to think that a document that "sadly is mostly a statement of negative liberty saying what government cannot do" shows that like the conservation on the "retard genius" who did not get a morons' use of Dante at some point this week Barry doesn't get the American condition.....or maybe he does.
Like I said common men unfettered move mountains....
the welfare state and hyperregulatory state as practiced right now are not allowing the unfettered man to breathe.
Sorry to be "lyrical", but those documents and the ideas our founding were trying to assert were the fuel that got me out of poverty.

Hey - It's not impossible. I went back for a BS at age 35, stuck it out and finished with an MS at age 40.
The very hardest part really was at the beginning, and going for tutorial sessions while swallowing my pride, to get remedial algebra. I'd aced it in high school, but that had been a lifetime ago, and didn't remember a damn thing.
Once I'd conquered that, I blasted through the required Physics, Calculus(1, 2, 3) Differential Equations, Linear Equations, Adjustment Theory, and then on to the actual major specific hard stuff.
So, it can be done. What helped me the most was having life experience, and applying all those equations in a way that helped answer situations I had been through, but never been able to understand formally, before.
Good luck, guy. I'm Serious.

Whether it benefits a particular person is dependent on the understanding and articulation of the court, the person's lawyer, and the corresponding apprehension/comprehension of a juror.
As a practical matter, it often comes down to the jury's instinctive sense: are we going to let this person get away with it, or are we going to place our selves in the defendant's shoes?
It takes years and a lot of experience to understand reasonable doubt.

Because they're the generic equivelant, I understand they have parts that are not domestically made although they are assembled in the US. Most of the parts are interchangeble with the Mossys. If you want to change the foregrip you're going to have to get Mossberg parts, the action bars are pinned into the Maverick foregrip rather than having a foregrip that is removable from the action tube. I like my Maverick a lot.

I've looked at making magazines ... it's mostly getting existing dimensions off of an existing (preferably good) design and then executing some sheetmetal work. If you're skilled at origami, this isn't too tough, as the sheetmetal in question is 22 gauge or so. The spring is the tough part. Good quality music wire, properly formed then heat treated might work. Detailed inspection of existing items (magazines, springs) helps when doing any reverse-engineering exercise.
Fortunately, 2014 will be here soon, and I think a lot of these problems will disappear.

Unless you're going for the "purist" angle, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just buy springs -- http://www.asbg.com/en/springs/compression-springs (one of the first stocks I ever bought for myself was Barnes Group....'cause their ticker symbol is "B").

They are assembled in mexico, and have "arguably" lesser material but not outside the margin of safety for some components.....
The joy of that is that they are ~80-95% product compatible with the Mossy 500s so you want a product improved trigger?
Pop it in or have a smith do so....
want that security receiver to work for a nice slug bore?
Go buy the mossy bore.
Want 8 shot capacity?
It fits, and if you hire the right guys it is easy to make Native part compliant and customize....
Basically the target market are practical shooters on a budget who are not using it for say three gun....
I'd own one if I hadn't already had a remmy 870 that was too good to pass up, and my Ithaca 37 hunger pangs....
Wal_Marts that sell guns may have them so if inspired take a field trip and comparison shop...

You need to do what makes you happy brother, and it is hard to be happy without trust.
You know my past w/the love of my life...life gets messy at times and if a person has trust issues when you are in "my heart can't beat without you" phase of the relationship it will be hard to salvage when the itches hit cyclically.
My Dad has serious trust issues, and it has destroyed his life with women to a degree....it is just as ugly coming the other way.

Putting all factors together, not a design that that is used for anything else. So, if you bought one ... THEY WOULD KNOW!!!!!!11!!
Effectively, springs are the weak link in the magazine production sequence: they are a specialized form, they must be heat-treated, nothing else will substitute. If you cannot make your own magazine spring, effectively you cannot make a high capacity magazine.
Posted by: Arbalest at February 23, 2013 12:25 AM (OX/Ud)
Arb, does the design of the spring vary, other than in size, between small and large capacity magazines? I thought some magazines used a ribbon spring, folded zig-zag fashion? Possibly clockspring stock, or recoil starter spring stock could be so folded?

Bad times happen in every relationship so you have to have some solid foundation of trust so that you both don't crumble when the shit goes down.
You'll be fine. Tell her the truth and move on with your life.
I only know these things as I have been the Queen of putting up with bad relationships - I have been loyal to a fault and it ends up hurting worse.
Posted by: Cheri at February 22, 2013 08:33 PM (EAgmr)
and all relationships tend to have ideally alternating phases of the drain and the battery....
and though I never got my military career I wanted for as long as I had hoped by some "someone left on the irony" or God hears your plans you'll hear laughter twist of fate for 15 years I have been her battery and she has been my anchor.
Not putting you down either on "goddamnit suck it up" b/c that is not my point I apologize if I am not too clear I really am about to log I'm zoning and I respect you enough I don't ant to be a dick by accident or design...
If her angst is beyond bearing she cannot be the one, now you may need to look hard at what your load limits are and make an educated analysis of your calculated risk potential on the issue but at the end of the day you have to have a mutual and interlocking set of traits that renders the sum more than the parts to have the best order of probability for success.
When I strayed and wife and I damn near flew apart the ONLY thing that saved us was the dual action of:
1) I am sorry, but I did love her and we were not communicating on kids the most vital issue discussed at length in our courtship...I am sorry and it will not happen again I am ashamed.....
and
2) we are unarguably a better team than solo act on both our parts if there is any hope of trust and realigning our dreams we should try.
It's a full contact sport bud...and an exercise in complete trust and the unity of soul and life that can beget life.....
no more serious issue on Earth for our species....
listen to your heart but talk to your mind too.
Posted by: sven10077 at February 22, 2013 08:33 PM (LRFds)
I do want to be honest but I don't want to hurt her because I know she is going to take it the wrong way.

how much can you give and how vital is the get?

From the ABC piece on sequestration:
29. Untended Nukes
Sequestration means less security at U.S. nuclear facilities, Energy Secretary Steven Chu wrote to the committee: "Our security posture at sites and facilities would be eroded due to project deferrals and workforce reassignments." Sequestration would also "degrade the internal oversight function of DOE nuclear facilities and reduce the depth and frequency of audits and evaluations needed to ensure ongoing robust security operations," Chu wrote.

I'd go through all sorts of articles -- figuring that even if I didn't have a faint clue then, just surface knowledge of something so different might come in handy later. And I gave it all up when they started that shit. They still send letters saying I could come back as "alumni".

IIRC, Rum had IRL stuff come up, got crosswise with some regulars, and got shat on by a troll at around the same time -- and took some time away....which stretched, and stretched, and stretched, 'cause she's not the type to mope and is "going places". She's popped in a couple of times since -- it's not that she's anti-Horde -- but her dance card rapidly got filled-to-overflowing by other dancers.
Last time I saw her (at Disney, natch), she was healthy, happy, and busier than hell.

Seamus Muldoon,
I was living in St. Paul, MN in 1983, and my best friend had a sweet dog named Beauty. She was part lab, and left large piles in the yard over winter. I loaned my snow shovel to my friend to clean up his yard in the spring, and the next day we had a blizzard.
I had to shovel my car out with my dust pan, because I was parked on the side of the street the snow plows would go through first, and could not afford the ticket and storage for the city to move my car.
I moved to El Paso Texas the next fall.
Now I live in New Mexico and clean the dog poo every other day, so I don't have so much to pick up.
It's been hard to keep a snow shovel handy, tho, but my BH has built me a pooper-scooper out of PVC pipe and some leftover materials from another project.

Oh, and Seamus, I bought your book and really enjoyed all the different scenarios you set up for the possibilites of what happened to your FIL.
I really hope justice finds your family one day, hopefully soon.
If not, hopefully He will take care of it.

My dog does the same. I can only bring so many plastic bags with me. When I'm all out and he inevitable craps again in someone's yard, I look around nervously and get the hell out of there. Don't want the shame of being caught by a homeowner with no way of cleaning up my little crapmasters crap.

Seamus,
Yeah, his name should be Goldberg. He has a talent for making others' junk work or run, or just build something by hand.
That's part of why I married him - he is a Handy Man.

Cheri- you need to learn the stoop and scoop fake move. Take your plastic bag, bend down as if picking up the offending matter, but leave it on the grass. That way, the bag is good for the entire walk.
Oh come on, you guys have all done this move.

That's what I'd like to think, but who am I kidding? I'm just an insurance agent cutting wood. The chainsaw was fun and so was the splitter. My dad grew up in the hardscrabble south and put himself through medical school. I'm jazzed about using a machine properly. " Lesser sons of greater fathers" indeed. Strike that. My dad worked his ass off to make a better life for me. I am the undeserving beneficiary of that effort, but by cutting and splitting my own wood, rather than just buying it, I am honoring his effort. That's all true, but still...never mind. If I got much further down this path I'll start to whine, and I don't whine. Dad taught me that much.
The wood is nice, though, I'm sitting in front of a great roaring fire enjoying it. Enjoying it burn.

Seamus,
Sorry I was distracted by my doggies going out and leaving more "presents" for me on the lawn.
My favorite chapters in you book are the more happy endings type, where Seamus went on an adventure, and wasn't just missing, since I knew going in that your father-in-law had disappeared.
I kept hoping he found a happy adventure, instead of just being gone.
I don't know how else to explain the real enjoyment I got from most of the book.
I read a lot, and will go back and re-read to pick an exact chapter, K?
Because I really enjoyed your writing style, and have read probably five books since I read yours.
I was an unfortunate (in a way) experiment of speed-reading in grade school, and read so many things in a month, I sometimes lose track.
But it is one of the books on my Kindle that I click on to keep it up where I can find it to re-read on the 300+ list I have .
I really should find a better way to organize my Kindle!

Anybody who thinks that jury instructions on reasonable doubt are at all clear is very confused. This is one of the most nonsensical parts of American law. Technically it means "beyond ALL rational doubt." If you have ANY doubt that is not actually irrational to entertain, you are instructed to acquit. But that is insane, so the instructions try to hide the actual meaning.
I'm sure there is plenty of evidence that you wouldn't want to put your fate in the hands of 12 random people who failed to get out of jury duty, but confusion over jury instructions (written or not) is not one of them.

I thought that was what was being discussed but saw the 2000 number and figured i screwed up again. Annealing will take place for a lot of steel in the range of 1400 deg F or less. The hardening/quenching for most steel is in the 1800 range.
This is from memory on the stuff I've worked with so specifics may vary some. But for Hardening you juut have to get it above a temp and quench, which can for this purpose be done by color. Annealing is where you want to be more exact.

Weirddave,
My hubby and I just had my niece (who is like a daughter) and her fiance over last weekend, and he is from east coast, and in the military, and we had such a good weekend.
The fiance's favorite part (I think,except for dinner) was when we sat out on the deck watching the sunset, and the stars come up, and he was allowed to keep stoking the fire, and watch the stars above.
He has live out on the east coast, and told me they didn't have a chance to see many stars, and he hasn't been camping nearly enough to have a good fire.
He really enjoyed stoking the fire and we even gave him a "pokin stick" to rearrange to his satisfaction.
Having a good wood pile is a blessing in life. And good for you for building one!

The grill tanks are 20 pound tanks and the ones of similar diameter but ~4 feet tall are 100 pound tanks. The one that sits in my yard that is the size of a VW bug made into a pill capsule is a 500 Gallon tank.

I wasn't taking it as an imposition, as such, but rather in the sense of "bringing third parties into two-party jokes is likely to completely scramble them because of a random eyebrow-lift in the wrong place for the joke". Which, of course, can easily lead to the "shared private experience seeming lewd when referenced by someone else" or "shared embarrassment becomes mortal shame with third party" predicates -- neither of which are very fun for the third party.
As Ace himself has said, at 23214 words IIRC, humor is sometimes best left to the professionals.
That said, I'm kinda getting an odd subtext (which could be largely caused by the egregious typos) that there is something more between you two -- which, again, is a place where I'm reluctant to go. If I might be a help to you both, you'll have to be a bit clearer. I'm willing to be a facilitator to the advantage of both here.....but I won't be a tool.

Weirddave,
My family used to camp a lot, and the first chore for my brothers was to go find Mom a good pokin stick.
When my Uncle and other relatives rebuilt a log cabin that the FSA burned down, he put in pokin stick holders all around the camp fire area with PVC pipe put in the ground. An NO-ONE was allowed to use the designated pokin sticks for the fire.
Oh good times.

Actually an easier explanation is any tank they put on the scale in that little shed is filled by the pound. Any tank that a truck comes out to fill is in gallons.

yankeefifth,
It takes a lot to "abscond with my goat" as you so chivalry phrased it.
I grew up in different times, and so appreciate people with wit who aren't afraid to use it.
I have had a lot of people tell me that I look too much to the bright side, and always find the silver lining when there are dark clouds overhead, but I think in the long term it has helped me to not be too stressed out.
Hecks, even in the middle of a biker war, I could find appreciation in the food we had and the fact there was a lot of ammo handy and the sheriff wasn't too worried.
I guess I am even crazier than some I know.

Posted by: Buzzsaw at February 23, 2013 02:59 AM (qo244)
Private -- and it was really overstating things, but there's a story with that. I first did 6 years in public accounting trying to convince the dipshit Board of Accounting that I had two years of experience (at one point, my file was lost for 17 months because some bureaucrat went on maternity leave). Once I got my CPA certificate, I was officially not a slave, so I went to where the money was.
I ended up as "Controller" of a company whose previous "Office Manager" had a brain tumor that killed her within 12 months. In theory, a Controller would continue the auditing thing because his accounting staff would give him stuff and he'd evaluate its validity......in practice, not only did I have to fend-off a cash flow crisis (there was $40K in cash, $20K in bi-weekly payroll, $200K in receivables, and $1.2M in payables when I walked in the door), but I had to overhaul production as well (the $1.2M in payables was due to there being unshipped inventory in every room in the building.....including the men's bathroom). In my 7-1/2 years there, I ran the production floor -- building work schedules, manually working up MRP, assessing and creating a strategy for critical parts, streamlining workflow -- no less than 7 distinct times. In my "off-time", I also managed to complete the construction of an HQ building where the GC had folded midway into the project.
So.....it was a stretch to say that was still "auditing".
I've been the Controller of two other places, which were more of a "review and manage subordinates" gig.....and done Sarbanes-Oxley consulting for a few years (which, by contrast, is more classical auditing than even my original years in public accounting were). So I'm not all that far off. But the auditing mindset has a way of sticking with you even through all the other things you do.

I do audit work and tax prep and whatever else, you know, fighting IRS etc.
Not much into working in other areas these days. I do OK with being a go-to for people that need me to straighten out their books.
I worked for a while for companies, but mostly just small potatoes.
It has worked for me, I am impressed that you have been out there turning companies around.
Life and what happens has pretty much kept me in the public accounting arena.

cthulhu,
Let's not get TOO technical here.
I advocate for some kind of flat tax, not the thousands and thousands of pages of the tax code, which NO-ONE reads except tax preparers.
Did anyone here know that there are different depreciation rates for trees in orchards, depending upon which types of trees you have? Of course not. But some senator's son or BIL had a certain type, so it's different.
It IS crazy, and it should be much more simple, even if I don't have enough work to keep me personally busy, there would be more efficiency in the whole system.
But who am I to opine?
Why, I am the person that can charge you to prepare your tax return, because there is no way you can understand it, unless you take a bunch of continuing education classes every year for 30 years, which is how long I have been working in this field.
So THERE!

I'm in Silicon Valley, CA, and have been most of my adult career. Looking to GTFO. If you stripped all the governments off the world and only left people and resources, this area could be hugely more successful -- as in more than 10x. Instead, all the resources are locked behind government intervention (you can't even buy paint thinner, much less drill for oil -- and 5/12 of the top US hydrocarbon sites are here); all the wages are locked behind illegal immigrants; all the working conditions are locked behind the black market; all the land uses are locked behind a dysfunctional legal system....

It was a picture of a cabin or something. House. Wood and stuff. Looked a little run down, but like some work is being done on it. Snow. Green metal roof. Carport on the left, station wagon or SUV mostly out of shot on the right. Conifers in the background, bare deciduous trees around the house. Dead grass under the snow. Log sides facing, further back shingles, maybe a separate building. Brick chimney.
Flickr doesn't work on my phone and sometimes some browsers.
Well, thank you for that lovely description of a get-away place.
It sounds lovely to me.I love having a get-away place.
As a matter of fact, my husband and I right now are what up North, when I lived in Minnesota, we called snow birds.
The fun part is, we live about 20 miles from our "summer home".
We stay in the Tularosa basin in the winter, and in the summer, we drive the 20 miles up into the Sacramento Mountains, where the temperature is 20 degrees cooler than the 100+ temps down here.
I don't know why He blessed us to have both places, but I thank Him every day, and the fact that we both have jobs in this economy.

Sorry, guys, quick post -- that's what I'd say if they were talking about "a great idea for a company and I'd like to incorporate" if they were California residents already. There are 34 perfectly-good states available to move to if you aren't a pansy-assed Californian. But too many snow-days and I'd likely piss myself.

cthulhu,
When BH and I were in Hawaii when he was TDY they were trying to tell me where I could find the orchids on the trees, but I could never find them.
I do love seeing them, tho, they are beautiful.
One thing I do want to point out about moving to Texas, is the property taxes because they don't have a state income tax. Before you move there, check out the area, because the taxes might be very high.
In New Mexico, we have a state income tax, but the highest rate is 5%.
I think TN has only state income tax on investment income, interest and dividends, but I haven't prepared a return there for a while.
Anyway, it's something to check into if you are serious about a big move.

So, CT -- suggest you allow the move decision to be a little less stressful. You seem to be trying to get it perfect the first time (which is an honorable goal), but what if you don't?
There is nothing wrong with be a tumbleweed for a little while before you sprout roots again. You may discover a sense of freedom you never appreciated before.

The Invaders -
Was that where they had to wear the special glasses to see the alien invaders?
I remember watching and thinking I really needed to get a pair of those glasses, because I thought my teacher was one of the invaders!

No, you're thinking of They Live.[i/] That's late '80's, if I'm not mistaken.

Merovign,
I had the same kind of discussion with NRA reps about New Mexico a while back (about 10 years or so) and could not believe they weren't concerned about the CA and type of people moving into my state.
They seemed to think they could "hold it" because back then they had enough supporters.
Thank Him we have a good governor today, because there are way too many of the crazy types, but I will keep up my end of the good fight.
The NRA seemed to think we had enough of the ranchers and live and let live types living here that they did't need to worry, but too many outsiders have moved here now.

One acre!
Not as exciting as I thought it'd be.
Yawn.

That's not to mention the Marceline family farm's auction, the failure of his father's farm, his breakups with distributors. The narration in the elevator between the first 1/4 and the second 1/4 is something like (in Walt's voice) "one thing you need in your 20s is a good solid FAIL".

The funny thing is a lot of the cast was from PBS series', it was hilarious watching kid show regulars fighting aliens.

Seriously? Do I understand you right? He did that and said "your argument is invalid" to an alien when he killed it? Sounds like between this and Predator, Chaves accumulates some great scenes.

1. Get replacement bulb from Ford for Shelby. Ford only part. Mutter grumble.
2. Visit gun show in Jackson, MS. See how insane it is this time.
3. Write some more.
4. Win the $80 million Powerball tonight.

Yes it would be super spiffy to have that at the local airport. Does FAA accept comm chatter via Bluetooth?

I loved that show. It was The Fugitive with aliens instead of a one armed man. I had a model of the Invaders flying saucer--you could take the top off of it and see the ship's control room and interior bulkheads. I had a model of the Spindrift from Land of the Giants too, and I would dog fight 'em.
The Invaders is out on disc now season 1 is rather better than season 2 on average, although I have to say the coolest thing about watching them now is checking out the cars. Well, that and the stable of guest stars that were staples on TV when I was a kid--Commodore Dekker, Cloud William, and Dr. Crater from Star Trek show up, there's an early appearance from Gene Hackman, and Suzanne Pleshette.

ah yeah no...
No she is just an interesting "friend on the box" I've never met her and my admiration of her was just her sense of humor and my gratitude is based on her making me smile which at times is not an easy trick....
She was a godsend in her cheerfulness once when wife was on 72 hours of communications lockdown because her unit took casualties about every two hours over three days.
Peaches was a blessing too....
happy blinky box is a lot like Loki doer of good doer of evil..it's all in how we use it and I'd never try to use it to hurt any moron here on purpose.
Anyway I just miss her and when I found out tollololos were part of her moving on it bothered me.
Thanks though for looking out for her.
Auditor eh? Professional levels of wariness I did about 5 years of tax prep and understand the mindset if not the methods and tricks of the trade we'll have to share redacted war stories sometime.
Man 5 hours of sleep is an awesome thing.
