I did forget to mention the main thing I'm excited about on this trip (aside from spending time in the woods with my kids, of course), which is that I get to drive the tractor  . It's a 40s-vintage Ford tractor and I've seen it before, but I didn't get to drive it because it was loving 6*F last time I was out there and there was no way in hell the tractor would start in that weather. I've never driven a tractor before, so I'm giddy about finally getting to drive one. This is all assuming we can get it running, since it really isn't used much anymore. Supposedly it will usually start pretty easily after farting around with the carb and the points. bandman fucked around with this message at 05:10 on May 24, 2014 |

Lightbulb Out posted:Certainly sounds like southern Iowa and northern Missouri. Too true. I live in Des Moines, but I've got family down in Trenton, MO I spend time with every summer. It's crazy down there. Only thing to recommend it is that the hills are insane, and doing 70 down 'em in the middle of the night is considered normal behavior.

It's nuts how much the terrain changes south of the state line. My wife's family lives 15 minutes north of Missouri and I've ventured south a few times when visiting them just to cruise around. It goes from typical Iowa rolling hills to big steep hills and trees really quickly. On another note I sincerely loving regret volunteering to work on Memorial Day. The weather is supposed to be perfect all weekend and all my friends went to a lake in Wisconsin for the weekend. I also have to work a half day today. ...and I'm hungover because I like cheap tequila.

Anyone know how to deal with egg stealing crows? Ive got a couple that are stealing my chicken eggs every morning and have started to pinch the wiper blades off the cars. They've worked out that anything long and straight is bad juju after I blew up a few of their mates with rifles/shotguns so now they just fly behind things to valuable to shoot whenever they see you (Cars, water tanks, the house...) so Im kinda out of ideas that dont involve nasty poisons.

Don't gently caress with crows, because they recognize your face and tell other crows to gently caress with you. Seriously, crows are way to smart and evil.

I love memorial weekend on the beach, I must have had nine or ten people threaten to kill me/kick my rear end today, and two of them were punk rear end teenagers! I'm to the point now where people get in my face and it doesn't even phase me anymore because I've heard and seen it all, when it comes down to it people are full of poo poo and the more they talk the more I know they won't do a god drat thing because they're loving cowards.

Today we had a guy escorted out of the store when he threatened to kick my rear end for not replacing his battery for free after he admitted that he got drunk and dropped it in a urinal and he was two years out of any sort of warranty or AppleCare+. I had no idea my job could be this exciting sometimes!

Haha, you couldn't pay me enough to be a bouncer, these days you can't touch anyone or you'll get sued to the poorhouse. Or you choke someone out and they die (has really happened) and you're proper hosed.

So the Dell I found in the alley? I fought with it a bit. Kept trying to get XP on it. Along with 7. Along with various versions of Linux. Turns out the optical drive on it is hosed. XP is still bitchy as hell and refuses to install even from USB, seeing as the main HDD in it is SATA (and XP didn't usually ship with SATA drivers). Even using an OEM Dell ISO, I still couldn't get it to play nice - it'd either refuse to boot, or BSOD once it got past the text mode installer. Some Linux distros worked fine, some got bitchy and threw a kernel panic when they tried to load SATA drivers. I actually managed to fist 7 into it, somehow. It's.... I won't lie, it's not fast. It's kind of like watching an 80 year old in decent shape climb 20 flights of stairs. But it works. And seeing as the main users will be some people in their mid 60s, familiar is better than pure speed.  It started installing 106 updates about an hour ago; it's up to #10. Glad I have a portable A/C to offset Mr. P4 Prescott's heat for the next day or two. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 12:28 on May 25, 2014 |

I find it hilarious when internet tough guys tell me they are going to kick my rear end. My normal response is "ok, here's my address, phone before you show up so I can make sure I will be home." Then if they keep running their mouths I say I am ignoring them till they make good on their threats. I'm like 10-0 here. Not one has shown up.

I'm guessing you don't have any birds of prey, otherwise the crows wouldn't be hanging around and your coop/run wouldn't be vulnerable to them getting in. I've got a pair of hawks that started hunting my area a couple years ago - if you leave chickens out for too long they have a tendency to disappear. There were a few chicken massacres in the area, and then everyone started putting tops on their chicken runs.

A cop I worked with once had to put a guy down who was on PCP (we assumed). He choked the dude out, he kept getting back up. When we initially pulled him outside it took four of us to hold him down and we could barely do that. It ended with him being tazed and of course he went into convulsions and almost died. gently caress bouncing man, I'm too little for that poo poo.

Yeah you wanna be at least 250 lbs to be a bouncer, 300 is probably ideal, just to discourage (most) dudes from trying to test you. I'm 160 and 6' tall, so people aren't intimated by my size and want to test me all the time. But like I said I'm used to it and seeing people's reaction when I'm indifferent to their threats is pretty funny. A local bouncer here recently got charged with manslaughter after he choked a dude out and he died in the hospital. And I've heard stories of others getting the poo poo sued out of them for injuries. gently caress that. Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 17:03 on May 25, 2014 |

I quit 3 years ago and have never looked back. Recently a bouncer at another local bar was hanging out on his night off when a patron he didn't like came in. They got into a fight and he shot the dude and ran. He still hasn't been caught and the dude died.

She was friends with a bouncer, who hit him unprovoked (story from everyone around the scene) and when the guy tried to defend himself, the other three bouncers jumped in. Guy died on the bar floor, because some girl didn't like him. I don't gently caress with bouncers, but they're generally speaking loving assholes. Not you guys, of course. Just the rest of them.

Guy died on the bar floor, because some girl didn't like him. This is a pretty common thing. A dude I know was out with his wife and some friends. One of the long term bouncers at the club had been into his wife for years and cornered her while 4 other bouncers beat the poo poo out of her husband out in the alley. They took his wallet and phone and threw them in a dumpster and left him lying with a shattered jaw and busted orbital socket. His wife spent the night calling friends and family and she and an officer hit the various ERs and didn't find him for 6 hours. None of the bouncers lost their jobs. The ringleader is now the manager of the upscale club here in town where I'm sure he still runs his game on girls he can't have.
