Thanks, guys. Appreciate the advice.
Pensacola recommendations?
Posted by Roscoe14 on 5/13/26 at 6:01 pm
Going to Pensacola (birthplace of naval aviation) for the squadron reunion. Any good places for dinner?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
With the population ageing, I would look at something in elder medical care. For example, physical therapy. They can't outsource that to India and it can't be done by AI. And, eventually, you can open your own shop.

Here are a couple:
Movie star Dina Merrill (Operation Petticoat, among others) was the daughter of stockbroker E.F. Hutton. Back then being an actress was considered low-class, so she took the stage name "Merrill" after her father's business rival, Charles Merrill (of Merrill Lynch).
Before becoming an actor Chuck Connors (Rifleman) played major league baseball, and also in the NBA. He used to have his sports buddies play cameo roles on the Rifleman. For example, pitcher Duke Snider was one of a gang of bad guys on horseback.

Not sure if it is underrated or not but I love this quote:
“You see, in this world, there’s two kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns, and those who dig.”

Whenever a recipe calls for green peppers I substitute anaheims or poblanos. Green peppers are boring.

The Future of Security Technology apparently involves being groped by a fat man.
Posted by Roscoe14 on 4/10/26 at 10:16 am
Flying out of Las Vegas this morning. Going through security, a bunch of passengers (including me) was bumped to go through a new system.
A sign said we would be experiencing "The Future of Security Technology."
They had new scanners, we got to leave the electronics in the bag and the shoes on. But when I went through the body scanner (a new type) the TSA guy, a very fat man, called me over to look at the image. There was a yellow circle over my groin area. He said he was going to have to pat me down, and asked if we could do it here. He then did a very through inspection of my nether regions. Then, finding nothing, he said I had to take off my shoes to be scanned.
Thinking on it, I really should have asked for someone female and better looking (a low bar) to do the pat down.

The Village in Boise is a great mall. And there is a Popeye's there that is pretty good (efficiently run, if you can believe it).
re: Onion Rings
Posted by Roscoe14 on 4/2/26 at 11:54 am to KemoSabe65
Paper thin is the way to go. Use a mandolin to slice the onions. Soak in milk for about 20 minutes. Dredge the rings in salted flour.
Add some extra flour to the pile of onion rings while waiting for the oil to come up to temperature to keep them from sticking.
Fry at 370 until golden brown, about four minutes.

Just replace the solenoid, you think, if tightening up the wiring doesn't work? I see I can get one on Amazon for 13 bucks.
Thanks. That makes sense when I think about it. Why should a valve suddenly have two problems at the same time? Maybe it's because I pulled the wiring lose when I took off the top to clean out the valve.
Help with a sprinkler valve
Posted by Roscoe14 on 3/26/26 at 9:48 am
I turned on the water for my lawn sprinklers, and one of the valves would not shut off. I opened it up and removed some debris, which fixed that problem. But now it won't turn on when I try to operate it from the controller.
I know the valve works, as it opens when I turn the bleed screw. I have tried twisting the solenoid all sorts of ways, but that doesn't help. And I doubt it is a controller issue, as there are two other valves wired with the difficult one and they work fine.
Anybody have any ideas what to try? A new solenoid?
The brand is Hunter. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This is a commonly held belief, but it just isn't true. According to the Idaho Secretary of State, the people coming in from California, Oregon, and Washington (they call us COWS) are registering Republican at a greater percentage than the existing population. As he put it: "Idaho is a red state, and it's getting redder."

People are scrupulously honest when they tell stories about opposing team fan bases.
Just as they are about hot women they have slept with, the size of fish that they have caught, and cool things they did with an aircraft.
