Non-Typical Solutions

Built in 79, bought it in 86 for 4000, I put a new engine in it 15 years ago. I can change the oil, u-joints, carburetor, brake fluid, fan clutch, water pump, hubs, brakes and I hate mechaninican, don't really know what I am doing. Was seriously considering a Toyota Tundra, but after looking at the price and now knowing that the soft brakes on my old Ford are still better than the new ones on the Tundra, guess I will try and squeeze a few more years out of the old Ford.

I have been watching the several claims on TV about the one guy who was driving down the road and all the sudden his car accelerated to 94 mph. He is even talking on the phone to 911 declaring he doesn't know how to get his car to stop, the brakes aren't working. Is there something about these new cars that I don't understand, I mean can't you just reach down and turn the ignition off and slow roll to a stop??? I realize that my 79 Ford truck is way behind the technology zone, but honestly...........

You gotta admit that cat has got some skill, I would have never dreamt he could have battled it out liked that with the rattler........I wonder if he got bit in that last exchange and went off somewhere to die????

I have a better chance of pissing into the wind and not getting any on me than I do of drawing a tag this year. Thats how I calculate it

Nice mounts Josh....

Makes me puke and wanna punch somebody in the face every morning for voting for that imposter.........

Sure good to see your mug on here again Outdoor Writer, interested in giving your take on this?

Somebody gonna let us know who was standing when the dust settles

Go find those bad boys antlers on the ground......cool video

You just jinxed yourself with all that time off....

Man.....I better keep my mouth shut!! Went to church yesterday and was reminded of this little bit of scripture from the bible: "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." The sky is falling, the sky is falling.......................

I saw this yesterday and my wheels, as small as they may be got me to thinking that I might beat Al Gore to the punch if I was fast enough here. New global warming indicator due to the shortage of the day. This caused by the 8.8 Earthquake in Chile. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/03/...uake/index.html (CNN) -- The massive earthquake that struck Chile on Saturday may have shifted Earth's axis and created shorter days, scientists at NASA say. The change is negligible, but permanent: Each day should be 1.26 microseconds shorter, according to preliminary calculations. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second. A large quake shifts massive amounts of rock and alters the distribution of mass on the planet. When that distribution changes, it changes the rate at which the planet rotates. And the rotation rate determines the length of a day. "Any worldly event that involves the movement of mass affects the Earth's rotation," Benjamin Fong Chao, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said while explaining the phenomenon in 2005. Scientists use the analogy of a skater. When he pulls in his arms, he spins faster. That's because pulling in his arms changes the distribution of the skater's mass and therefore the speed of his rotation. Richard Gross, a geophysicist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, used a computer model to determine how the magnitude 8.8 quake that struck Chile on February 27 may have affected Earth. See scenes of devastation from the quake He determined that the quake should have moved Earth's figure axis about 3 inches (8 centimeters). The figure axis is one around which Earth's mass is balanced. That shift in axis is what may have shortened days. Such changes aren't unheard of. The magnitude 9.1 earthquake in 2004 that generated a killer tsunami in the Indian Ocean shortened the length of days by 6.8 microseconds. On the other hand, the length of a day also can increase. For example, if the Three Gorges reservoir in China were filled, it would hold 10 trillion gallons (40 cubic kilometers) of water. The shift of mass would lengthen days by 0.06 microsecond, scientists said.

That bear pic makes me think twice about getting a cold drink from one of those tanks NIce pics thanks.

Got to thinking the last couple of days what I would do if I was in his place. What if we as a group developed a health care plan we could present to our leaders. I am no politician, and don't know all the ins and outs of the game, but I bet we as a group could come up with a pretty sound plan. A couple of questions I have for the health care people: Why does it cost less for a proceedure if I pay cash than if my insurance pays? Why if I am paying my premiums does my insurance go up if I have to use my insurance? If the people of New Orleans choose to live below sea level and the lose their homes does my insurance premiums go up? I know, not medical related but you get the idea, insurance companies gouging those who have for those who aren't smart enough to live above sea level!!! Why do we subsidize instead of letting the free market take care of pricing? So, as a newly self appointed politician here are two parts of the New health care bill I wold like to see implimented: 1: Serious measures to eliminate fraud by insurance companies and insured individuals. 2: Let the free market control pricing. So I am trying to get the ball rolling here. Anybody care to chime in on what needs to be done with health care? Maybe you disagree with my starter proposals? What would you do instead?

1: Serious measures to eliminate fraud by insurance companies and insured individuals. 2: Let the free market control pricing. 3: Preventive care instead of proactive 4: Lower and cap the amount of liability to the doctors under malpractice. 5: Instead of paying out the butt for malpractice you should lose your liscence. 6: Heath care that limits torts on medical malpractice 7: Let consumers buy across state lines (provides more competition) 8: Secure the border and each US citizen be responsible for their own health care.(Edited on behalf of Lark) 9: No Lobbyist 10: Terms for elected officials 11: Bring troops home and protect our nation. 12: No government campaign funds. 13: Balanced budget no money don't spend it. 14: Commit a crime, go to jail and don't collect any pay. 15: Repeal the patriot act. 16: Terrorist beware!!! We brought the troops home and waterboarding is legal!! 17: Pass drug test for any government assistance!!!! 18: Is your current occupation "career public money moocher"?. Starting monday, you'll get on the bus and work on America's infra-structure just like they did in the CCC. You will get your check for the week when you get off the bus on friday. I like the CCC plan!!!

Just undocumented is all, lets at least keep it politically correct

Unless you want to freeze your tail off better stick to the low lands. Roosevelt Lake would get my vote. Roosevelt Lake is where I started taking my boys when they were little. Easter weekend. We woke up Sunday morning with water running under our sleeping bags. My 4 year olds bag was wet but he was still sleeping. That was the year it dropped like 20 inches of snow in Payson and that little kid got lost about 100 yards from home or something like that. We drove home in my beater truck all the way back to Flagstaff, no heater, my wife was not happy. Stay where it is warm this trip

What excatly do you think he'll score???

1: Serious measures to eliminate fraud by insurance companies and insured individuals. 2: Let the free market control pricing. 3: Preventive care instead of proactive 4: Lower and cap the amount of liability to the doctors under malpractice. 5: Instead of paying out the butt for malpractice you should lose your liscence. 6: Heath care that limits torts on medical malpractice 7: Let consumers buy across state lines (provides more compition) 8: Secure the border and provide services for citizens of the US. OK, now we are getting somewhere, let me know if there is something above that you really don't like and if we need to get rid of it.

Good point and I guess part of my solution then would be to secure the borders better and send people home who don't belong in this country or maybe better said, are here illegally. Then I don't have a problem helping take care of citizens of this country. I would beg to differ on the quality of care in a social setting. I mean, in theory I think it would be great to let everybody have everything. New car every ten years, house provided for everybody so nobody was on the streets. A plan where everybody had food. I just don't believe that is the answer but could be very wrong. Interesting post though, thanks......

Another dog gone....nice job

Looks like the steer has your camera pegged. Welcome to the site have fun with the cam...
