Mast or no mask aside. China unleashed this shit on the world and look at the destruction it caused. Now with Biden and his crew allowing hundreds of thousands to flood across the border, many reportedly Covid positive and being actively scattered throughout America, how is this any different than what China did? Knowing how badly our country and its citizens have suffered from this pandemic, how is our "leadership" deliberately allowing Covid infected people from other countries to enter and spread this virus seen as anything short of repeated recklessness and/or aggression against America and its people? I don't give a damn who you voted for or what party you belong to, all should be outraged over this! Those who are not outraged are either so blindly, pathologically loyal to a party that they put party over their own family's well being, or have their heads so far up their ass they refuse or just can't see the light!

620,000 dead Americans from Covid 19. Dead is dead! Those who suffered slow, painful, frightening, lonely Covid 19 deaths, as well as the health care workers caring for them, and those showing up every day to keep the health care system going since day one of this pandemic can tell you this is a war. I believe China has corrupted and owns our politicians of both parties and our system as whole, including the media. The sooner people wake up and realize it's not just a "Democrat thing" the sooner they can come together as one to try and save our country.

Appears to be one of the few times I disagree with something you said. China IS currently at war with us, and winning!

Happy Birthday!

One, in the same!

I think there are a couple reasons actually. Neither good!

Lights on...but nobody home!

At the risk of sounding redundant; don't forget to take every opportunity to thank your fellow board members here who vote these assholes into office. Green New Deal means lots of green out of your families budgets and straight into their (politicians and their friends) pockets!

Just remember to thank each of the board members here who so aggressively argued for this predictable shit show! Much more to come, I'm sure.

450K?

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I very much appreciate it. As a mental health provider doing face to face patient care throughout Covid 19, it would be hard to convince me I'm only one year older today. I think from here on out I'll start counting the years going backward! That way I'll retire at 40! lol

This is exactly what the corrupt political Elite are hoping for, and why future generations in America will only be as "Alive and Free" as they will allow.

Ever hear Harris laugh?

Holy crap! Time for me to sell! I'll be calling a realtor first thing Monday! : )

Agree!

Good catch! Thank you! The message remains the same however,

We are very close to being on the same page. The exception is; I see no left or right when it comes to what is going on. That is basically ignoring the obvious and giving a free pass to the likes of Mitch, Cheney, Romney, et al, who I do not believe are too "weak" or "polite", rather they are complicit. If they are what it is to be a "Republican" let them have the brand. Their values in my opinion do not represent the ideology or spirit of the 75 million of Trump voters. If they, the Entitled/Entrenched are what Republican is, the 75 million need to recognize the term RHINO as a good thing, and embrace they are the true RHINO's. It is a huge, diverse group who only signed on as Republican because it is the Party Trump chose to run in, and then with their votes win.

Finally, somebody gets it!

I wish it was that simple. Until Americans wake up and see it is not a "left" thing, it is a top layer of entrenched, entitled Republicans/Democrats who cling to power thing, who buy pitting our citizens against each other protect their interests and not our country's. This is why they so badly hated and feared Trump! He was the average American's chance to give a big middle finger to them! I pray (yes pray) Americans come together as citizens, not remain blindly loyal to any party, and for once see who is zooming who! If the Mike Lindell video is a farce, why is there so much effort to bury it? And, if it is true, why are our officials of all party affiliations and all levels not sounding the alarm that we were attacked , and guiding us on how we are to respond?

Here is the first of the crew to chime in. That didn't take long did it?

Now Biden proudly states his intent to destroy the NRA. Again folks, don't forget those on this board who so fiercely campaigned for this awesome pair of public servants. So when you start seeing your rights slip away, don't let them forget either.

When it come to heating systems I think it best to call an expert to take a look when in doubt. It has been decades since I worked on anyone else's HVAC so I do not hold myself out as an expert anymore to anyone. That said though this is basically how this goes, and I'm not sure what you think you saw sparking other than the igniter lighting the pilot. I can't see how a wire against anything metal can spark if the insulation on the wire is intact. Remember....Safety always first! So if you have more issues calling an active professional would be best. 1. Thermostat calls for heat. 2. Gas valve lest gas enough for pilot open and igniter lights pilot. 3. If pilot lights, it then heats up the thermocouple and generates small amount of current that then tells gas valve open for main flame. 4. If pilot does not light after set time (seconds) the main valve does not open and furnace goes off for safety. 5. If pilot does light but then shuts down, it can be thermocouple is either failing/failed, or sometimes if not in proper position with pilot flame to heat it up to generate the voltage required to tell main valve to open and shuts off on safety.

Sorry folks to ask what I know has been asked here before, but I can't find it. I am on my way to my daughters in Webster tomorrow for my grand baby's birthday party is I don't have time to cut my own deer up this time. Who have you folks used out that way that you have had good luck with? I generally do my own because of bad past experiences. All the typical horror stories like hair and bone fragments, mixing my deer in with other people's deer, getting shorted, etc. I know I have passed signs out that way when I drive back and forth to work in Canandaigua, but have no experience with any of them.

I know full well why I missed clean on a buck this year. I rarely shoot long range, typically hunting with my firearms like bow hunting, up close. But I have shot and killed deer with one shot in the past, with my longest 267 yards (30.06 Remington, and checked with my rangefinder the next day) so I am pretty effective at killing deer with my firearms historically. What happened to me was eye surgery mistake when I was in Alaska. They did cataract surgery on my telling me it was how you fix the severe astigmatisms I had (found out after the fact they were wrong) and my one eye hemorrhaged, while the other one developed bad floaters. After what happened to me this year, I won't try shooting any distance from now on unless I have a rangefinder with me.

It's been a strange season for sure. I passed a number of small bucks and does with fawns, had a clean miss on a nice buck that was farther than I thought. And, played cat and mouse for days with a BIG bodied, wide rack 6 point. I got within 50- 60 yards of him several times but he always busted me. lol. The big buck I missed, the next day I accidentally bumped him into my neighbors after legal shooting time on my way back to the house and I believe they shot him. I won't get into that now because it still makes me mad and nothing I can do about it anyway. Today I saw nothing in the morning, and had decided I would take whatever buck came my way or a mature doe if she was alone. Then in the afternoon I got a later start than I wanted because longtime friend/neighbor who I have not seen in years saw me in the yard and pulled in to talk. Because I was not going to get on stand until 2pm after our talk, I figured I would finish my season in comfort, deer or not. I settled into the middle of the same brushy island I shot my buck over last year. Rather than finish the season perched in the ladder stand, I plunked myself down in an old fold up lawn chair I had stashed in the island years ago. It made for the most comfortable seat I had all season. At 3:45 I caught her coming from the apple orchard bedding area to cross my brushy field, headed for the cut over cornfield on my neighbors property several hundred acres away. The wind was in my favor but she sensed something was off and picked up her pace as she passed me broadside about 50 yards out. I had to practically turn myself around to keep up with her walking but thankfully it was my natural swing direction. When I got my red dot on her and shot I knew I hit her hard, because her whole body recoiled and her rear half of her body went so high in the air I thought she was going to somersault. When her feet hit the ground she exploded out of sight into the brush. I gave her 20 minutes just in case before getting up to look for sign I hit her. There was no hair, no blood that I could see, so I picked one of the several trails that parallel each other going in the same direction she ran and walked slowly. Thankfully, about 60-70 yards was all she covered after the shot so it was an easy recovery, a perfect outcome. I even had my "blue" four wheeler parked in the same Island within eye sight of me and her. The hardest part of the hunt was getting her hung up by myself. So, unless I get out for one day with muzzle loader I guess my season is over for the year. My freezer may not be as full as most years, but my hunting season and memories are plentiful.
