One of the Best I've seen ! Not that it is affecting anyone much ? But the Guy with the camera may need his head examined. !

Gender Neutrality Out of Control!!!

Not sure if this qualifies as "douchy" but I'll throw it out there:
https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.cnn....ral/index.html

Just another news item worthy of no better reaction, other than a major head shaking, eye rolling sentiment. What's next? Are we going to have a "gender neutral" Santa Claus at some point, just to appease certain "groups" and I use that term very loosely.

Batman will have to be Bat Person, Super Person, Wonder Self and The Bachelor will have to be unmarried persons & so forth ! The English Language may become "The Technique of eraser of Words ! " We may thank our Founding Fathers for making the Constitution so avoidably coherent and also adjustable. Woman in the Military has certain attributes and frailties, so do Men. May the Lord see us as a good thing ! Remember J probably did comment that they would not run out of spirits at the Party !

Enlarged it to 200 and am guessing the owner had a Log Chain with Master padlocks on it. No way a hitch could of held that unless it was a Miracle. In the mountains one smart owner is my thoughts !

My guy is dealing with this. Owners lived in home for over 40 years. Didn’t fix anything. This is a $40,000 mess ! Hope we can do it for less than $20,000 ! Is gonna take a bit of engineering !

Thas mice nest under master bath Vanity that was ruined. This is just the bathroom of this beautiful rural home on an acre ! The risk is worth a reward is our thought !
I've always despised plumbing that comes through the cabinet floor and not the back. It takes away cabinet (floor) space and leads to things like this. I just finished repairing a kitchen cabinet that looked worse, but at least the plumbing was through the wall.

I first saw that on the news and thought "there's no way my rig would be hanging on the side of a bridge". But I don't pull anything in the mountains so it's not likely that I'd be in that position. That was "moving weight" until the truck stabilized. I don't see any practical way that the stress load was less than 10,000 pounds before the truck settled down.

If I had cell service I'd call local delivery and be well into that first bottle before even leaving the scene!
