    With no ID required to vote.... how can you be so sure?

     

    With all the tech we have these days... it is a joke that we still vote with scantrons and no ID requirement.  You need an ID card to get a damn library card. 

    This time around they asked a bunch of questions at least.  Years previous, you just gave your name and they found you and handed you a ballot.

    They have put it on the ballot twice so you get use to the idea. Next time it will pass the same way Newsom beat Cox and the recall and Biden won the election. 

    The reality is if we actually owned our homes and land we would have to pay to keep the government from taking it. We are all just renters in this country. 

    I'm sure it'll have some super confusing/rainbows and fairytales description involving roads, schools and fire departments.

    It’s a slippery slope working out of town. I primarily work out of town as a stunt performer(SAG),but if I want to work as a grip(local 80) it’s much more difficult,as there is almost always a local union that has the job. 

    Ive done quite a bit of work in Atlanta as a stunt performer,but if I wanted to grip I’d have to be in Atlanta’s grip union. Which they are also IATSE,not sure how the whole process is to transfer unions.

    Wait, you do your own stunts? :biggrin:

  3. Saw this gem of an article today:

    https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/california-recall-election-results-show-gavin-newsom-winning-donald-trump-ncna1279258 

    What?  Idiots.  Way to be a parotting mouthpiece...  Raww! DONALD TRUMP! Raaaaw!

    He was recalled because:

    • COVID murder of everything business wise
    • Stupid income taxes that are getting worse
    • Stupid fuel taxes yet worst roads in the union (https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2020-12-04/these-states-have-the-worst-roads-in-america)
    • Stupid registration taxes (I pay $140/year to register a 24 year old Jeep...)
    • Exploding homeless population

    Not because people like Trump here.  Morons.

    Anything more than 3" is a waste...........................that is what I tell the wife

     

     

    I hate tall lifts, looks like you are compensating for something, make sure you add scrotum sack to the bumpers, they are super cool🤣

    Guys, I’ve had my truck since the end of 2018. I have just over 8k miles on it! I would never take my truck to a car wash so not an issue. As for carrying heavy loads, same or higher rated tires so what changes? As for loading and unloading, I have a fifth wheel so no room in the back for stuff anyways! I towed my fifth wheel now with a 7.3 superduty cc srw 4x4 9” lift on 37’s so 35’s on my dually won’t mean squat. Keep the ideas coming!

    Just harder on everything overall, including the guy putting shtuff in it. Larger tires means more load on the entire drivetrain to turn them/push the brick down the road.  As my buddy found out, the stupid "bed volume" stat has made bedsides on new trucks taller, which reduces clearance for your 5th wheel.  Just things to keep in mind.

    Your truck, do as you please. :biggrin:

    Took me about two weeks of my ears seeing what I should be playing and my hands and eyes not understanding WTF was going on.  I just went back to some basics and stuck with it.  Came back better in some ways and lacking in others.  

     

    Pretty much, except my high E broke and I put it back in the corner for the last 2 years... LOL

    This last summer driving to Vermont and back my wife an I made a game of trying to spot rv's going the opposite direction with the BIG bubble in the roof membrane. Amazing to me, new units with this huge bubble in the roof. If they can leak air I would think they will leak water as well.

    I’ve seen a couple like that… Didn’t realize it was a new coach thing…

    The urinals at my EOS Fitness gym can be pretty sloppy even though there's a floor mat.  I have to assume a wide stance to avoid the puddles.

    But what really pisses me off at that same gym (similar to Bobalos "some pretty disrespectful POS's" comment), which is actually in a very upscale part of town, is the FRESH GUM ALL OVER THE PARKING LOT.  I've stepped in it twice lately, and now I have to look for it every time, and I've complained to management about it, suggesting a sign be posted.  I'm shocked that there's so many disrespectful adult gum chewers at that gym.

     

    I avoid the gym due to all the gum on display in the locker rooms. Seriously fellers, put your clothes on and stop hanging out in there all day.

    rears may have to sit on the wells during transport, depending on what trailer I end up with....shopping for an enclosed right now, limited selection out there, but need to keep the overall length of the trailer as short as possible due to storage location (so 18' to 20' max length) 

    I have to double check, but I was also thinking the tires will be like 3/4 or more on the wood support and 1/4 on the fender well. So I could make the wood support just slightly higher to reduce load on fender wells

     

    Just stagger/miter cut a bunch of 2x6s, then bridge the two cribbing piles with one 2x6 across the top. If everything is screwed/glued, probably plenty.

    Carvana buys cars too.

    My gf is thinking about selling her car and just drive my POS '00 Civic for a bit to save some money.  Carfax offered her more that KBB, and is has some body "blemishes"...bullet hole in the roof..lol

    This requires a story, feel free to embellish and lie profusely during its telling... :biggrin:
