  1. I could see that interpretation. For me though, I rarely ever get sick. I've never had the flu, that I'm aware of. If I catch a cold it's just congestion for a day or two. I've never experienced the body aches that people talk about. Never had strep throat or many of the things that many contract. Hell, I've never even had a headache, not that that has anything to do with immunity. I have a hard time equating that to anything other than being hit in the head. I did have measels and chicken pox as a youngster, but don't remember them being too bad. I've only had any kind of food sickness maybe twice. The same goes for my Mother and my Brother and Maternal Grandfather. Not the same for my Father or my two siblings that have passed. They would be bedridden with the flu and other issues, and it was obvious they were really sick. Their symptoms were always bad. Luck of the draw I guess. As an example I'm feeling pretty good today. Congestion is much less and scratchy throat is almost completely gone. My Mother is experiencing poor health these days, but that has much more to do with smoking for decades, heart issues and macular degeneration. I'm not of the opinion that my immune system will be much help in the aging process though. Getting old can't be helped.
  2. That makes me feel bad. Not only have I never had a reaction to a vaccine, even when doubling up as you did, I don't even feel that bad with actual Covid. I've had it twice now, and just like when I get a cold it's just congestion mostly. This time I have a mild cough as well, but I never get achey or feverish. My Maternal Grandfather gifted me with my immune system, as well as the 'TICE'. Not a bad inheritance.
  3. They will probably honor it. C4 is an explosive clay. Jeff uses it on most of his projects. 😝
  4. My Mother's favorite song of all time. A favorite of mine as well.
  5. RIP Andre. I think his big break came in Glory.
  6. No help here. Jeff will suggest C4 again.
  7. Many say it's the greatest Country song of all time. It's certainly up there for me. They don't talk about how it took the 'Possum' 18 months to record it due to not being able to stay sober long enough.
  8. It should fit fine. The Metabo is the new name for Hitachi, and I know that the older Hitachi grinders used the standard wheels. I believe that you can even use the newer Xlock wheels, but can't use regular wheels on a Xlock grinder. I have both kinds, and love the quick change of the Xlock system.
  9. The cinnamon force is strong in both of these revolutionist.
  10. I approve of this message! And of her creamy, Irish heritage.

    Kind of mini Nagra-ish.
  12. I remember watching a few episodes of MH, MH. Also, I think that it's easy to forget just how cutting edge All in the Family was when it aired.
  13. Lettuce eat more bacon!
  14. Oh, bummer. RIP Norman You were a huge part of my childhood.
  15. She's Putin one over on him!
  16. Have a phenomenal day Todd!
  17. I still can't watch this music video without tears coming to my eyes.
  18. Orchard has really hit my radar lately. They have some products that really fit into my "Future-Fi" next system parameters.
  19. Happy Birthday! Now when is your Dad going to grow up?
  20. Keep it down you hooligan!
  21. Yeah. The nines confuse people for a while. Not sure why, seems simple enough to me. I try to rarely move forward.
  22. I have seen that one before. The individual boards make more sense to me, as you can adjust for the number of players. And it's easier to store. I had a custom leather bag made to hold my set. And my Mom's old set fits in there perfect, as all my boards are the exact same size. Al's Sister wants my own previous set. She probably wants to practice to be able to beat me!
  23. After I redesigned the boards, one of my Winter Texan buddies had a nice template set made for me from 3/8" aluminum. So I now can cut my boards close to size, then use the router template to finish them up, so they're all exactly the same. Then the template for drilling the holes the same. The set in the pic is White Oak with a Purple Heart inlay. I just buy cribbage pegs online, in different colors.
  24. I visited my Mother for Thanksgiving and she's offloading. She gave me a decent Nikon digital camera that she gifted her Husband. But both of them are legally blind now, so photography is out, as well as game playing. My family has always enjoyed playing games together. In Texas my Mom, her Husband and I had several Winter Texan couples as friends. They all lived in motorhomes/fifth wheel trailers in RV parks. There was a game popularized in RV parks called Pegs and Jokers. It's kind of like Sorry, but played with cards on homemade game boards. I thought the original boards were quite fugly, so I designed my own version. The boards join together, so you can accommodate different sized groups. These are the original style boards, that are usually made by retired RVers. Anyway, she gave me the board set that I made for her, which is the first set I ever made. I've made dozens since then, but still like that set a lot.
