I didn't mean to threadjack. I just want to say mental performance is bettered by stress and being uncomfortable.

Sleep, take a shower in the morning, get dressed.


Sleep, drink breakfast blend coffee (more caffeine), smoke a couple of cigarettes, take a dump while doing crossword puzzles, shower, shave, get dressed. I rarely eat breakfast, usually just a banana, an apple or a tangerine.

I will say, when I had to give a presentation to 10-200 people, xanax is my drug of choice. I was usually amped, had some stage fright, but I knew content inside and out. It calmed me down, along with walking around on a stage, (I can't stand behind a podium), asking questions, looking at a particular person, instead of the crowd, clicking the remote to distract to the next subject.

One of the things that I emphasized as a Boy Scout leader was public speaking. (Minus the xanax). Every one of my Eagle Scouts have no problem speaking in any public situation. From skits to leadership roles in the troop, to addressing a merit badge ceremony, to delivering a sermon at church. They have done well.
Awesome in a dedicated fashion.

Weird.
This is kinda funny. A pro wrestler and his father.

New York Central’s jet-powered ex Pride of the New York Central/ RDC kicks up dust and pelts onlookers with flying ballast on its way to a 183.85-mph railroad speed record in July 1966. The General Electric J-47 jet engines accelerated the 139,000-pound car from a standing start to peak speed in four minutes. The standard Budd disc brakes needed only a mile to stop the railcar.

Dangerous, yes. Hump yards used gravity to sort an reattach cars.
Where I grew up, there were many old abandoned farms.

We would eat those (hard as a rock) horse pears, figs, plums, muscadine and pecans.

I have played this golf course. It is a muni. The 17th hole is a long par 5 and I can see how the third shot over a hill can be blind. The 18th par 3 tee box is 20 yards to the left of the 17th green. Assault and battery is not justified. Period.

Minnesota settled on this one because the state seal on the other flag was offensive to "Native Americans".



The original seal shows a farmer with a hewn tree tilling soil, with a native American riding a horse bareback?

Travelling with our granddaughters, my wife has had me stop a few times at Marriott or affiliated hotels. She presents her Bonvoy card at the check-in counter.

I don't know how many points that cost.

When they were little, my son had a plastic potty in their Pacifica van. He only had a limited time for vacation. :lol:

Probably the Chevy but maybe the Ford. I really want a 2002 tundra with the 4.7. Hard to find a good one


I have one. How much is it worth to sell, IDK.

I paid $28,000 for it in 2002. Paid it off after 36 months. Lets round it to 48 months.

For 22 years, I have not had a truck payment. At lets say, $400/month x 12 x 22...that's $105,600 and it runs fine.

Why would I sell it? My granddaughter wants it.
