In all their infinite wisdom in the creation of this country the founders and framers also sowed the seeds of it's demise in the process.

Now for something totally different.
Guys, next time your wife complains about a gun purchase, show her these photos.
Just pulled the motor off of one of our RC soaring tow planes to go back to the factory for tuning and software upgrades. Miniature turboprop, and yes, it runs on JP. Youre looking at a tiny little bit under $9000 new when purchased around 2001. That bag of snakes next to it is just the fuel metering, RPM and TI temperature modules.

Not much of one. But, you're right, it's a pot full of money.

Breaking News: A new flag has been chosen to replace the Confederate Battle Flag
It has been reported that members of ISIS will see the flag and give the owner a lovely view of multi-story building.

Apparently, since Amazon had my debit card on file they took it upon themselves to enroll me in Amazon Prime. Got a guy on the phone, pulled up my account and said it appeared that when I bought an ebook on there last month it automatically enrolled me in AP for a 30 day free trial. The notification went to my old email address (they have both on file) and I didn't see it. I told them I didn't want to enroll in AP, they said no problem and the money is back in my account. So, no harm, no fowl, no me getting nasty. Guess they're a decent company to deal with.
Navy federal did somethig similar to me 8 years ago. Except they never gave me my money back.
Jokes on them though, I waited till the ass end if a recession to buy a house and they ended up paying my closing cost for me. I defiantly came out on top

SPREAD THIS: NRA Drops Bombshell About Dems’ New Gun Control Plan… We’re Under Attack
A report issued by the National Rifle Association revealed that last week, the House launched a new legislative proposal, the “Handgun Purchaser Licensing Act,” that would force aspiring gun owners to obtain a license before buying certain firearms, namely handguns.
The bill, if passed, would also expand background checks to all handgun sales and prohibit men and women under the age of 21 from buying handguns. It would also punish states that refused to implement the regulation by cutting off some of their federal funding.
“They cannot ban guns because of the Constitution, so they want to make it so difficult for law-abiding citizens to exercise their constitutional right to self-protection,” NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker told reporters.
According to research from the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, which was used to back the bill, firearm homicide rates in Missouri allegedly went up by 25 percent after it repealed its handgun-licensing laws, while rates in Connecticut dropped 40 percent after it adopted a handgun-purchaser licensing law.
The NRA disputed these findings on the basis that data was cherry-picked to fit a certain narrative. Plus, the firearms homicide rate in Connecticut was reportedly already falling — and rather quickly too — before the licensing law was put into place.
The NRA also suspected that Democrats were pursuing this bill in a bid to “create firearm registries” and “suppress firearm ownership.”

I felt like crap yesterday, so I spent the entire day either in bed or on the couch. Yesterday afternoon my shoulders started hurting and this morning it feels like someone has a c-clamp cranked down on both of them. My wife bought me a gift certificate for a massage for Valentine's day, and I think it may be time to redeem it.

Sorry to hear you felt like crap and are still in pain. I didn't do crap yesterday either, sat on my recliner and watched the race drinking some cold ones and took in a couple of movies and random TV. Felt good just relaxing for a day.
