Gene Hackman: RIP
Just read that they found him, his wife and dog dead in their house. I am not going to speculate as to what happened, just a sincere 'Thank you' for all of the entertainment that you brought to me thru out my life! RIP -
Scale Modeling
It's been 24 years since I seriously built and competed in Scale Modeling. My last foray into it was the internationals in Chicago, 2021. Had some good models built but got smoked...which is OK because it's the 'fun' of it. But I got to a point to where I was to competitive...and divorce... -
Pearl Harbor and Midway
WE all know what today is. I watched Midway on Netflix last night, and I have to say, it was pretty damn good. I have been to the Arizona Memorial 3 times....something that gets engraved into your head and soul. God Bless them all and never forget. -
RIP Lou and Bob
I don't know much about their politics, but I do know that I always found Lou Dobbs very pleasant, thoughtful and professional whenever I watched him on Fox News. As for Bob Newhart, I would never be able to count the times that he really made me laugh! Rest in Peace and God Bless you both. -
Memorial Day......Always remember.
I read about this and the ending really got me. 80 years later, and STILL protecting Old Glory. I will always remember..... https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/when-frat-bros-defended-flag-guadalcanal -
Show us your Fur Buddy!
This is Skye. We adopted her as I have always adopted dogs. I use to do volunteer work for the SPCA in Fredericksburg VA, and enjoyed it immensely, though at times you have to wonder who really are the animals: dogs or humans. Anyways, Skye is about 3 years old, 75 pounds give or take, and... -
Replacing Water Heater Tank in Attic
Yesterday was quite the experience for me. Tuesday night, after just spending $400 on groceries, my daughter tells us that there is no more hot water. Damn. Go up in the attic (yes my gas water heater tank is in the attic) and sure as shit, cold as my ex-wife's and leaking) Fantastic. My... -
Happy New Year....New Year, New Hopes
I hope all had a very safe New Year's last night. I am hoping that this year brings a change to our acidic environment in the US....to bring hope back to the Republic. This is a great country...but there are many here that will stop at nothing to destroy her from the inside out....just because... -

Mr. John Holland
"That man he died in poverty, but he did realize his dream/He was John Philip Holland who invented the submarine." Good read. I am into all things submarine and I owe most it to Jules Verne and a very imaginative young mind. But the world owes the Modern Submarine to Mr. Holland... -
Home Window Tinting and UV Screens
Here where I live in San Antonio, the sun is brutal on the front and sides of my home, most of the day. I DO have double pane windows (why the original owner did not install them..idk) so I am looking for a way to cut the heat coming into our house down somewhat. I know UV Screens work...some... -
Working on Truck
Been having some overheating issues with my 2014 RAM 1500 3.6 LS which just went over the 100K point. Decided to take today and tomorrow off to swap some fluids and parts. After today, I can honestly say that whoever the engineer was that designed this engine and/or the various parts on it... -

Things Boomers did...
I had never really paid any attention to the word 'Boomer' until this millennial POS at work used it one day towards me. Yeap, POS is 35 and still living at home. Regardless, since then, I laugh when young turds use it in a derogatory manner towards me. So I saw this ad talking about 'Crazy... -
Drug Overdose Deaths...
I have always hated illegal drugs. I really don't care what grown people do to themselves....smoke crack until your brains drip out of your ears...thinning the herd in a way I suppose. BUT my beef with it is that it always in one form or another, rears its ugly head to the children. THAT is... -
MV-22B Osprey Crash
They were starting to bring them into the service when I retired. I am very thankful I never had to ride in one, as I never liked them. They seemed to me, far to small for the foot print they give off. Just everything about them screamed 'You will build me because our politicians WANT IT in... -
President Reagan's assassin to be freed...
I can't believe they are going to let this POS out under unconditional conditions! Absolutely absurd! I wonder how safe he will feel? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/attempted-reagan-assassin-john-hinckley-unconditional-release -
Memorial Day
Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and thoughtful Memorial Day! No matter how many pictures I post, my heart still hurts. God Bless them all. Semper Fi! -
Losing Weight
As the topic suggests, I have been on a road to lose weight for about a year now. I quit smoking 3 years ago, and at about the same time my back and hip went out (being treated by the military for it) then COVID hit. So it was like a perfect storm for weight gain. Yes, I know, excuses are... -
Bruce Willis acting
I have always liked him and have enjoyed all of the movies that I have watched that he starred in. Lots of good memories, and I thank him for that. I believe, if the reports are true, his acting time is about over. I wish him nothing but the best and a safe and peaceful journey, no matter... -
New Puppy
When we finally moved into our 'forever' home, we promised the girls a dog. That was 6.5 years ago, and they are now over (mostly) their allergies. So we adopted a little lab/shepard/blue healer mix puppy, by the name of Skye. OMG...I had forgotten how much work puppies can be! But my girls... -
Texas State Voting
Today is the final day for early voting. Myself and my wife will be at Encino Park Library today to do so. If you are a Texan, please remember to vote. It is critical to do so, IMO. -
The Good Guys Won!
I am extremely happy that none of the hostages were harmed and the POS hostage taker is dead. IMO, this is a huge win for the good guys. But I have to admit, I am a bit uncomfortable seeing LE in complete military dress. Something inside me squirms on this, probably just me. Regardless, WELL... -
School Thread: Lets stay educated and aware!
There have been a lot of posts about the crap that is going on with our schools. I am trying to consolidate them, as it is EXTREMELY important that we stay aware of what is going on. So I will start it with this UNBELIEVABLE MESS. How does one even obtain information like this? Is it not... -
Let us not forget...December 7th, 1941
I have no words for this humble remembrance of such a tragic event. But I do remember the times I went to the Arizona Memorial, read the names and watched the movie. I was in tears each time. The last time I went, I heard a man and woman crying behind me, when I turned around it was a very... -
iRobot and Roomba's
About 11 years ago I started getting into buying busted Roomba's on Fleabay and repairing them. I kept two of them, both 600 series 'frakenstein' builds, and they have been running off and on since then. All I have done was replace the batteries recently. My wife is OCD when it comes to our...
