It's funny how a guy gets accustomed to dressing a certain way, and everything else feels odd. We are truly creatures of habit.

Little League is the pinnacle of baseball for me. I know a guy who has two sons that played in the Little League World Series (Goodlettsville). That has to be awesome. As for the cost of the bats, the ones they currently use are about $400 a piece. Wood bats would be a financial blessimg for the parents. My younger son had a custom wood bat made for him by Louisville Slugger. It was only about $60.

I live in a very different world from you guys. Everyone in my circle is leery of a fella in a suit.

I guess I am a slob. Seriously, If you judge folks by their appearance, you'll miss out on getting to know some fine folks. Most of the greatest men I've ever met sported overalls daily.

I figure you could fit all the sho nuff white supremacists in the U.S. on a short bus. For some reason, it now seems ANTIFA wants to lump all white people into this group.

One side hates black people while the other side hates white people. The common denominator I find is hate.

I've never lapped a ring and have never had a problem. I've also never put locktite on ring or base screws. Again, never a problem.

With the hurricane in the gulf, I look for a run on gasoline this weekend. How high do you guess prices will climb?

Yes. ANTIFA=communists White Supremacists=facists I see a very fine line between the two. I keep reading a lot of places where people from both these groups say "If you aren't with us, then you're with them." I'd like to see the entire lot of them gone, as I'm on neither side and don't intend to be.

Stiff is what you want. Strap it on and wear it, and it'll break in.

We just talk about guns here. No one actually owns one of those devious devices.

Anyone who's married would know the money in the husband's wallet is really hers. He's just holding it for her. Don't believe me? Ask a judge.

She wasn't amused.

My wife wouldn't shut up about the paper glasses, so I also fashioned myself a tinfoil hat for the festivities. Bullfrogs began croaking in the pond off in the hollow beside my house, and we saw a couple of bats fly over. This was very different from anything I've seen. I'm glad I got to see it.

Yes it was!

Hang onto your hats; it has begun!

If you can put a spare tire on your car, you can mount a scope.

Anybody seen traffic problems yet?

Can we talk about football, guns, or some other manly stuff, instead of one ball passing in front of another?

Debt free is something my wife and I have always agreed on. You're gonna like it!

Do you think the 230 volt model would be worth the extra hundred or so dollars?

Well, I've about decided the gas regulator is screwed up on dad's welder. Last night, I evidently had the wire speed way too high on my neighbor's welder. It isn't on gas; just using flux core wire. After a bit of research, I turned the wire speed way back, and now I'm running a respectable bead (at least for me). Thanks for all the help! You guys have about talked me into a wire welder instead of a stick.

I've tried two different mug welders, and can't get the penetration I need for what I'm trying to weld. I know very little about welding, and am probably doing something wrong.

That Miller 215 is pretty cool! I notice the Hobart Stickmate XL Tractor Supply sells gets really good reviews, and I think it'll do everything I'll need. Anybody have an opinion on it?

I would like to purchase a quality, general purpose welder. It would be used for working on trailers, farm equipment, vehicles, etc. I know next to nothing about welding, but I do know I have an occasional need to make two pieces of steel stick together. Any advice, help, instruction, or even general ribbing would be greatly appreciated.
