Why are (most) gym rats pretty much useless outside the gym? I only say most because I haven't met them all.
Gym rats work their butts off to get in shape, get strong, get buff, whatever... But ask for their help outside the gym & they have as many excuses for not helping as I have for not going to the gym to begin with - if they bother with excuses at all.
I am old & fat, not in good shape (unless you need to trace out a circle) but if I am able, I will help people move their belongings, move scrap metal (been doing that all week), even help pull an elk down out of the mountains if at all possible.
I have asked several gym rats for help in these sorts of things & other things but none would help. WTF are they working so hard for if they aren't going to actually apply it to something useful? :skep:

I think it is gym dependant. The last gym I joined, I became a gym rat. I helped people all the time, but then again that was the "culture" at that family run, 3 location business. I've also gone to some of the bigger ones like Golds... they were often filled with muscle-heads who more more interested in posing in front of the mirror.

Also had to love the women who showed up in full war paint and high fashion. Try one that has a full schedule of group fitness classes, I have found those have a better learning atmosphere than the gyms that focus solely on pumping iron.

Just my $0.02...

As always, YMMV. :)

A small peek into something I have dedicated my life too and one of it's most influential teachers who recently passed away.

Need some ideas...
I am installing lights into my utility trailer, I'm also installing a small battery so that I don't have to hook up my truck. The lights and switches are done but I need something to hold the battery. The battery is 2.25in thick x 3in wide x 4in high and weighs less than 4lbs. I want to use the trailer as a hunting camper so the container needs to handle a bit of bouncing around. Don't want plastic, was thinking a wire basket of some sort.
I checked electrical boxes (1gang, 22 cu. in.) but the crap inside makes them too small & larger sizes are too big. I thought about a shower caddy but they aren't high enough, office trays are too small, bicycle baskets too big, & so on.
Anyone have other ideas? I keep looking but nothing I see really works.
The width can be 3in or 6in.
Appreciate any help, thanks.

So my mom just tried to set me up for identity theft...
She sent me a text the other day saying her friend said his company is hiring engineers and that I should apply now so that I can be that much farther along once I graduate.
I looked up the company, they're a general engineering company out of Portland, OR, but they don't do anything related to my degree (nuclear). There is typically some overlap in the disciplines so I send the guy a message & ask for more information; that's when the red flags started. The person wouldn't answer any questions about the job, they would only send messages through facebook (which you need a court order to get an IP from), I HAD to have a gmail account to email them, and they wanted me to email my application to a gmail address instead of a company email.
All this is setting off every spidey sense I have so I ask my mom how well she knows this guy, aaaaaannnddd queue the epic facepalm....

She's a facebookaholic, always online & playing their online games. She gets friends through those but apparently she also accepts friend invites from random strangers (I can't get it through her fossilized cerebrum that this is asking for trouble). It turns out that her 'friend' with the job is one of these random people who just started messaging her on facebook. Um, what? That's not a friend mom... :facepalm:
And this 'friend' wants me to send my application, replete with all kinds of personal information, to a generic email account?

I respectfully chewed her out but I still don't think she quite gets it.
Anyway, I called the company & warned them about this scammer. They did check their records, no one by that name even works there. They did say they are taking applications but not for nukes. :?:

Blade's already a bit bent but I just went for it anyway. It worked fine, chewed through sheet metal like butter; but for any real steel application, I'll need to change the blade.

Colorado theater shooter, James Holmes, got sentenced to the maximum possible 3,318 years in prison. In other words, life with no parole.

Question though, why?
If there is no chance (for a criminal) of rehabilitation & someone becoming a useful member of society, why keep them alive? Just kill him/her & be done with it.
I can understand life without parole if it is part of a plea agreement but a straight up conviction?
I know the death penalty was on the table for this but it was a split jury & so they couldn't pursue it as per state law but this still seems like a waste of time/resources to me.

Finally got back out SCUBA diving today. I stopped diving more than a decade ago because I got transferred inland; no where to play but no time either. Moved to a small town with a reservoir & asked about a search & rescue dive team. Got on the team & since they were already training new divers, I went with them for a few refresher dives. Good news, all of my gear still fit & passed inspections and all of my tanks passed the hydro tests. Bad news, my computers needed new batteries & a mask fell apart when I tried to clean it. Batteries & 1 piece of faulty gear after 10+ years in storage, I can handle that. :thumb:

Yeah cave diving hell fucking no.

Even worse are the Sump divers. Basically you go into a regular cave that has water flowing through it, you get to the back/end of the cave where the water is coming from.
Guys then dive it.

Sump diving and it's so deadly it makes normal cave diving seem like diving in a swimming pool. Every sump diver my dad has known over the years has died doing it.

Re: Completely unrelated

Re: Completely unrelated

Cave diving is demanding enough! I certified years ago in Florida. Lots of training and even more equipment is required. As one of my instructors used to say, buy the best equipment you can find because you don't want your tombstone to read "Here lies (insert your name here). Too cheap to buy the best". It was an experience that I don't regret but probably would not bother with again if I could roll back the hands of time. By nature, cavers are explorers. Pushing the limits is the excitement of the discipline. Sadly, far too many find that limit.

Glad to see you getting wet again! Be safe.

Never seen or tried them before so I grabbed a few. Made tater pancakes & am currently making something else (roasted garlic something something).
They taste & cook like regular taters but there is virtually no shelf life to these things. Straight from farm & a few were starting to go bad within 24hrs.
Someone said they were hybrids & another person said the taters were originally imported from South America but yes, they are actually supposed to be purple; I don't really care, I just wanted to try them. Apparently there are other colored ones out there too so I'm curious about also trying those out.

$300.00 but it must be done with the accurizing package since entire gun break down is needed and the coating changes how the internals engage. Also I have found with the NP3+ that the slide when the pistol is fired moves much faster and smoother. Our HD magazine springs and HD recoil springs are needed to ensure proper feeding.

Learned something new (to me) today, Idaho has scorpions & they're fast, sneaky little buggers. Out shooting in the boonies today I found one near the targets, scooped it up in cup someone had left & carried it back to the truck. The whole time it played dead & didn't move. Dumped it out on my hood, went to grab my phone to take a pic, turned around & it was gone.
I had heard & read numerous times that they are here but hadn't seen one before today.

Never read that they were that tricky though, the scorpion played opossum :D

Mostly yellow, kinda small. Not including the claws or the tail, I bet the body could have fit on a 50cent piece.

Looking at pics for this region, it kinda looked like the yellow ground scorpion but with a little more black to it. The pics for the northern scorpion show one with a little too much black coloring. Maybe a half-breed? :D

According to the interwebs, none of the common species in Idaho are all that poisonous to humans - sure it hurts but they're not deadly. Of course, that is just the common species & doesn't include any scorpions someone brought in & released either by intention or accident (i.e. hitch hiker on the undercarriage).

It was the only one I've seen in Idaho so far and I have no intentions of handling one by hand in any case so I'm not too concerned. I was using a stick just to pick up the board I found it under but my fear was of finding rattlesnakes. So, now I have another reason to be leery of lifting boards to use as targets :D Still won't stop me from doing it though :twisted:

Scammers are getting lazy, they're using robocallers to sucker people now. One left a voicemail for me today, here's as much as I got: "And once it get expired after that you will be taken under custody by the local cops as there are four serious allegations pressed on your name at this moment. Get back to us so that we can discuss about this case before taking any legal action against you. The number to reach us is 8887266443, I repeat 8887266443. Thank you"
I googled the number, it's an IRS tax scam. Yes, I reported it. The computer generated voice was too much, I was LMAO.

I posted about this on my FB & that seems to be common. I usually get the "problem with your credit card" robocalls but it's a person on the recording. This is the first time I've gotten the computer speaking the script.
They can make a computer talk but they can't use a grammar check function? Still wouldn't have worked mind you but I wouldn't have laughed as much :D

Learnt a new aviation phrase today, "lithobraking maneuver". From lithos meaning stone, and braking meaning to slow or stop.
It means to stop because it hit the ground.

It's going to be one of those days...
Just had someone plow a stolen car through my fence while trying to elude the cops. He got stuck about halfway though it, now I'm getting a new fence. In the meantime, anyone know where I can get a large inflatable Kool-Aid Man?
