AH, the TV test patterns. Broadcasting stopped at midnight and didn't resume again until around 6 a.m.
I remember them playing the Star Spangled Banner when the stations shut down at night.

Blame the Kardashians for all of this.
Listening to the radio one morning heading to a job and I had on "The Walton & Johnson Radio Show" and that was when Ricky Williams was with the Saints and dating Kim Kardashian.
It was the off-season and they jokingly referred to Ricky's workout routine saying that he got in his daily mileage just jogging around Kardashians huge arse.
My ex-mother-in-law lives in Dallas and would sometimes shop there and her pet name for that store was "Needless Markups".
That's all I've got since I never set foot inside any of their stores.

The wife and I went many years ago and had a good time. It was definitely easier getting into the prison than it was leaving to head back home. Th traffic was pretty heavy.
The food offered was good and the inmates did a fair job with the actual rodeo, considering none of them were actually professional cowboys who were on a rodeo circuit.
I don't recall one rider making the time limit on the bull riding event with most being bucked off not long after the chute opened.

Sanded with 180 and now am now ready to stain. Still not sure about wood conditioner. What’s the worst that could happen if I applied it?
The stain will not be absorbed as readily if you use a conditioner. That is the reason it is used on softer woods like pine and cypress with definite grain patterns in the wood. Darker areas will become more pronounced if a conditioner is not used and leave a more blotchy appearance in the wood surface.
You likely won't have that issue with cedar since the grain pattern is pretty even.
re: Why don’t more people have tattoos on their palm?

That's a tattoo that Jesse James, the custom motorcycle builder got years ago. He got it and made sure to let his viewers see it in one of his episodes.
Hard to believe Sandra Bullock hooked up with that idiot.

There are a LOT of nerve endings in the hand.
Earlier this year I had a Nerve Conductivity Test done to determine just how bad my Carpal Tunnel was in both hands. The last poke with the needle wired up to a computer screen to take readings was not nice.
I was poked in the muscular part of the palm just below the thumb where the flesh is the thickest. Out of the dozen or so needle sticks, that one really hit home.

You can then tell her that most companies change their paint code every year or so so a paint color from 5+ years ago won't match the new color. A wall sample will always be your best bet.
Hell, once the color is on the wall/ceiling/trim, the color likely won't match after about one year anyway since it changes slightly once applied and ages a bit.

My go-to for conditioning wood prior to staining is to mix 1 part clear shellac with 2 parts denatured alcohol and brush on a coat.
It dries real fast and can be sanded smooth to remove any raised grain in the wood. This allows the stain to go on more evenly on softer woods like pine and cypress.
Not sure how it would work on cedar since it is pretty uniform in color to begin with. If you go this route, do like already stated and use it on scrap pieces to test first.

Well, I've heard some of those "Ancient Astronaut" theorists claim that Noah's Ark was an alien inspired DNA bank that actually could have DNA from the animals of the world stored on board.
That instead of actually having 2 of every species to continue the population when the flood ceded.
To me, that is about as feasible as the story out of the Bible. :cheers:

Enlisted were treated like cannon fodder.
This pretty much explains it. Full frontal attacks with soldiers heading into heavy machine gun fire that had the entire area in front of them covered with overlapping crossfire.
So many young men's lives lost to antiquated battlefield tactics.
The deadliest single day loss of life and wounded was on July 1,1916 with the onset of the Battle of the Somme when Britian had 19,240 killed and over 57,000 wounded.
re: Whole Pork Bellies on sale at Rouses

I've been to 2 Rouses in the Lafayette area, and neither had whole bellies, only frozen pre-cut slabs that looked like utter shite. Going to try one more time before the sale ends as I need to make some more bacon, but not holding my breath they'll have anything decent.
When I went to get one, all they had were smaller pieces probably no more than 2 lbs. each. I got hold of one of the guys in the meat market and asked to get a whole pork belly if they had them and he came out with a 16 lb. slab that I bought.
It had skin on, which is OK with me since I process it and make fried pork skins with it and I cut up the belly into 4 equal parts. seasoned them, vacuum sealed them and have them marinating in my fridge for a week to smoke and make bacon next weekend.
re: In-ground Pool Owners: do you regret it?
Posted by gumbo2176 on 9/26/26 at 9:06 am to PenguinNinja
Never had one and likely never will, especially at my age.
I have several friends that have had in-ground pools over the years and it seems to be a pretty even split between love it or wish they'd never done it.
The ones that regret it cite cost of maintenance and lack of use with kids grown and out the house.

Local store here in N.O. called Robert's has them priced at $1.59 lb. for the twin pack.
I guess gone are the days of $.99 a lb. pork butts that once was a regular thing in the local markets.

Yep, me too. I'm old enough to remember all the places people smoked like it was nothing but a normal thing.
Hospitals, Drs. offices, airplanes, restaurants, bars, casinos, any and all stores.
The only place I can recall with no smokers was when attending church for any reason----mass, funerals, baptisms, weddings, etc.
And the stench was real.

I could only stand about 2 minutes of that video. How cops don't lose their shite more often when dealing with this low intellect lowlifes is beyond me.
Seems to me the dog learned bad behavior from watching his bitch of an owner go through life.
Yes, the fatigue is real and palpable.
