I am gonna jinx it. But my R-12 Rheem central AC has been kicking for 23 years. Lots of love, contactors, etc... But only recharged once, in 2011... Because of the hippy freon phase out. It's a closed system, shouldn't need to be recharged.

Never had one in BFLo growing up. Left 30 years. Heck, first three cars didntr have AC. But gotta have it now. Can you even get a car without AC?

Nice war paint! Poor kid!

When the bosses aren't here... The hi-viz gets lost. We work 70-75% of all available hours with out middle managers. Dumb, hair brained idea. No way I am wearing hi-viz in Chicago! Like the natives fighting the Red Coats. Safety Office can be really dumb. They don't live in the real world! They push pencils all day! Now... Some guys choose to not break the protocol. I am not being a walking target practice!

Anybody post: Double Live Gonzo! Full Album set! ^^^^^^

If I had a $1,000,000 I'd buy you a nice reliant automobile!

No. I was off @ 0600 yesterday. That's a co-worker. Hi-viz wear is all the rage now! /smh...

I heard this crazy tale! Somebody was telling me they always thought, when they were a child, Gordon Lightfoot was singing: "...Sundown you better take care If I find you been drinkin' my Labatt's beer Sundown ya better take care If I find you been drinkin' my back Labatt's beer..." Now, how would have a 6 year old (1974) gotten a silly idea like that into their head??!! I guess the same way a 51 year old gets silly ideas in his noggin, oh so brilliant melon today!! LMAO... ? Just don't tell @Cripple Creek & @BringBackFergy , "That Guy" (who shall remain nameless) will NEVER hear the end of it... They're, them two, are real rocket surgeons... Almost like pit bull terriers! Better Chick YouTube version: Superman is a cover version, FWIW. If anybody didn't know.

From the annals of the "Lock & Dam Whitetail Deer Cam"... Look closely, zoom in. This ain't no @Cripple Creek or @mead107 FakeNews®! A co-worker sent this to me yesterday. They were locking boats to The Lake when a whitetail deer swam in with the boats... Made it all the way up chamber, 1,000 feet to where the upper lock gates recesses were. If he would have filled it, would have drowned the poor confused deer. They had a jetskier chase them back out and to shore. No deer allowed! USC 33 CFR 207.300. LoL... /smh Hard to get compression to fit in under site rules!

Too bad those Hessians celebrating Christmas were Lutherans. It would have saddened your idol Martin. ?

Now... If you wanna see the real deal. Bookmark this page. This is the USACE-RI "Eagle Cam" among other cams for your perusing and viewing enjoyment! Enjoy! https://www.mvr.usace.army.mil/Media/Web-Cameras/ Eagles are best viewed in winter. Sorry, gotta wait this is live. But there is lock action @ Lock #15 (Rock Island) and Government Bridge excitement. The Government Bridge in R.Island is one of the hand full of bridges in this country that enable a plane, train, car, and boat to all travel over one another: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Bridge And it's a swing/turntable span: That's some serious, heavy duty .gif action there. Lock, towboat, barge tow, swing bridge... The whole nine yards can be watched live in my link I posted above!

You in cahoots with @Cripple Creek ? I am not falling for it! That was shot on a Hollywood Sound Set. Once @BringBackFergy gets here... He'll prove that is Theodore or Alvin from "The Chipmunks!" We don't tolerate bringing in Hollywood "ringers" here!

Bad humor my friend. Extremely bad humor. LoL... You should be jailed. And NO, I am NOT trying the veal!

I am so close to violating my personal ethos of never reporting anyone... Oh so close! Don't push me! ?

Wow! Was your son wearing a seatbelt?

Huh? The 13th star is Rhode Island. LoL... Coastal Elites lost the 2016 election. What a bunch of losers.

Missed nekkid swimming by one year @ West Seneca West Jr. High. I was born 1968. Jr. High was 7th grade... We were the first year of coed swim, 1980... And all girls and boys had to take both I.A. (shop) AND HomeEc. Nope missed it by one year @ West. They went right up to 1979 with nekkid swim. 1980 was coed in West Seneca Schools.

WOW! ^^^^^^^^ Looks like Mead has made glorious patriotic explosion! Way too bougie... I thought we were rebels, not Coastal Elites!

Why are some people fascinated with Chicago shootings? It has always been: "Bang bang Chicago, Al Capone, bang bang!" Chicago shares borders with so many jurisdictions that make it easy for guns. There is no buffer zone with like non-like minded areas. It's a victim of geography. You have a gun desert/void surrounded by a free-for all. Of course the free-for all will spill into the worst parts of the void. It is what it is. (I) Don't quite get the fascination, but I have always been an outsider. Where do you think the fascination about Chicago gun violence comes from? People aren't getting shot up on the MagMile as they shop. Just like the gangster era, when it does spill into the MagMile THAT'S when real change will be made. You think legalization will make it all go away... It will be a bigger zoo, IMO. Right now, the lack of legalization is the only thing keeping it from being a true Bosnia. Exploding violence all over.

What do you think of this: https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/1641433001 Do they have a goose cam, so we can watch?

Thanks for asking for advice, but you don't need any advice. ?

Oh... I have to make sure I get prior authorization. I know @mead107 @Mike in Horseheads are the master of their phones and destiny! Not sure about you other guys, they might have to check their phones in w/the wife, sig other @ bedtime. I don't want that on my hands! Oh, Mike how you doing? Eating solid food again? LoL

Hey! I just got a warning point for transiting the bad word filter. It's on my permanent record. I can't have it expunged. No. I am not sure he may be worthy. But the pics are out there. And video. @BringBackFergy You may need an emergency eye wash station to get the vinegar out of your eyes. I am sure she has all her shots (got tats). LoL...

"Joe Dirt Car", BoDeans,(1995): Better band live, than studio. (No full album out there. 2-Disc set)

Yet, he beats the Bills in SuperBowl! HOW low does it have to get! Why don't you just kick me in the nuts now!
