Dr. Niel Nortoroberto. Took care of cataracts and installed lens. Just had my annual check up in October. Both eyes are still at 20/20 after 8 years and 5 years. Highly recommend. Sure he can help or recommend another MD

I guess the last one was India 4 You. Was really goodat first, then it went down. The last few times we ordered it was really hot to the point of not being palatable.

I got this as a joke gift for Christmas 2019, plus three additional roles. Best purchase my wife ever made. Easily made it through the TP crisis.

Tense watch. Really worth the watch.
Would have liked in the theaters.

Golf course starter. Outside and free golf.

My dad did this over in Destin. Was looking to join a club and saw an advert in the locker room at one of the clubs. Never paid for a round in 15 years. He liked to be a marshal and drive around the course and tell people to pick the pace. He would shag balls in the water hazard and sell on ebay. Did really well. When he passed he had a small storage unit we found out about with about 50 5 gallon buckets of golf balls labeled with condition. :bow:

Was NOPD even remotely still in existence in the weeks after the storm? I’m assuming fire and EMS were also probably nonexistent?

I worked for Delta Queen Steamboat Co. as Director of Marine Ops. I arrived to Robin St Wharf on 9/8/25 (by tug boat) and found Nevada National Guard in formation on the dock. Had NOPD Traffic and Tactical in the warehouse and Third district in our call center. NOPD was exhausted but functional. Next 3 months was crazy. To many stories to tell.

re: Has anyone here ever started an engine using a Shotgun (Coffman) starter?

Posted by Beachtiger on 8/4/25 at 1:39 pm to Lonnie Utah

About 35 years ago I worked on an old ship that had this set up on the emergency generator. It was the final starting redundancy after electric(battery) and hydraulic failed. was a pain in the arse. Had to bar the engine over multiple times before you fired it. Worked and the inspector were amused and happy. I figured if I was using that method we were fricked.
