I'm watching Meteor with Sean Connery and Natalie Wood this morning. It's a 5.1 on IMDB so it just barely qualifies as a good movie to watch. I'm flashing back when I see some of the scenes. It's probably been 20 years since I watched it, maybe 30.

Wow. I did not know Pepper Plant made a seasoning rub. Pepper Plant is my favorite hot sauce; not especially hot, but outstanding flavor.
I do like the Montreal Steak seasoning too. Another of my favorites are several from Weber. The ones I've tried (and liked) are Chicago Steak, Flavor Bomb Burger, Classic BBQ, and Cowboy.

I had some quality time with the truck today. At some point I had @Duckfan install some nicer than stock outside mirrors as part of a larger project, but one more or less exploded after "slapping mirrors" with another truck on a narrow bridge. Today I put new ones on, as well as a set on my dad's truck. The body shop had installed cheap, no electric adjustment mirrors on his truck after it got stolen and mostly stripped. It's nice to do two trucks back to back with all the tools laying there. Also did the oil and filters in both.

, Oregon has an open carry policy, I pack mine everywhere I go , the state police when pulled over asked me if I had a permit , I politely told him don’t need one and schooled him on the policy, he was actually purdy good cop after that

It sure is nice to have the right tools for the job. Every job becomes easy with the right tools. Which is how I have justified my lifelong habit of buying tools. A very bad habit to have with Black Friday sales. I find myself buying tools which I have never even thought about using.

I have a CCW so I can legally carry. Thankfully I never had to shoot anyone but watch out

In my daily life, I have never had to reach for a weapon. Nobody I know, has ever needed to defend his/her life with deadly force.
I have lived with caution. I minimize the chances of being a victim. Everything from good locks on doors, to avoiding bad neighborhoods, and not wearing expensive jewelry.
But I get it. You don't want to be the guy who needed a gun, and didn't have one. Hopefully you will never have to need it.
That being said, I like to have a gun. And a knife. Even an expandable baton. Canisters of Mace are also handy. If need be, my keys are a defensive tool. Don't forget the old fashioned MagLite or a wrench, could do wonders.
I no longer go for walks in the park, alone, after dark. I try to do business in safer neighborhoods. My home has deadbolts and security bars. I only go for drinks with people I know and trust. I avoid strangers at the grocery store. I like to believe that my faith has protected me from being a victim.
