pneumatic is great for reputative work, battery guns are really heavy. A small air compressor with 50 ft is not hard to deal with.

I have a 10x16 woodshop I built in 2016 for about 5k. I checked out a shed the other day at HD about the size you wanted and it was 9k to have it completely installed.

I saw a couple of minor league hockey games in Baton Rouge in person and they were really fun to watch live. In many ways better than football. I would love to see two NHL teams live that are really good.

:lol: Watching Canadian fans cope with this loss is like watching gumps cope with a loss during the Saban years. It is amazing how the excuse machine gets into full gear.

Nothing in your quoted sections mention Strange New Worlds. Did the article just decide to skip over it? SNW is legit some of the best Star Trek, period, and have two seasons left to finish it out.

Strange new worlds is much better than people like nerdrotic say, i found it pretty close to TNG in many ways. People complaining about the fairy tale story and musical stuff forget Worf in tights.

Seems like this was a random break-in and likely Ms. Guthrie expired during the event. They took her to hid her remains. Sad to say, but that is probably what is going on here.

re: Any Catholic guilt, Lent for you all? Friday no meat? What you got?

Posted by FreddieMac on 2/18/26 at 8:40 am to Thewingnut323

Life long catholic, once I realized what Lent was, I stopped worry about "giving" something up. Nothing I can give up will be sacrifice when we have so much variety in available foods. So, when i think of it and realize its Ash Wed or Good Friday, I will not eat meat, but for the most part throughout lent I just try to do something good an pay it forward.

Bro, everyone else is way behind LSU in baseball. The box was opened in 2009, be serious here. Improvements needed, sure, but that stadium looks incredible, especially with that intimidator needing frequent updating.
