There's supposedly a document floating around online that's Bob Barr's gun control proposals that he's shopping around on Capitol Hill. From what I understand, there's supposedly a thinly veiled attempt at creating a registry on it.

So, been eyeballing a new Dewalt sliding miter saw. It's on sale for $350 new. I really don't wanna spend the money but I really want it at the same time. Now I see a used? one on Craigslist 30 miles away at a pawn shop for $250. Might have to drive out and "look" at it.

Depending on how long they've had it, you may even be able to beat them up on price a little.

Yea, thats what I was thinking. It's only been listed for 3 days and they only left a phone number, no address. If I call they will know I'm really interested. I think I found the address online. And the area is a bit rough at night. I worked near there for a little while, we used to have guys come to the shop with tools they just liberated from Lowes. One guy even would take requests. :lol:

Point is I really doubt they paid much for it in that area, may have some wiggle room on price.

Was at a conference we put on for clients today. An actuary was making a point and said "Who here in this room considers themselves in the bottom 50% of drivers." Guy in the back near me was the only one to put up his hand.... It's one of our brokers who's blind (awesome dude, had a big grin on his face). My coworker and I were stifling our laughter for a few minutes after.

I have never worried about dying. Doesn't bother bother me. Then I got married. Now I worry about dying.

(Before you ask, no. I didn't worry about dying in the first marriage. I wanted to die then.)

[DemonGeminiX]

You have someone you would leave behind now. I have no one, but I was never much for the family thing anyway. I just wanted to leave my name attached to something good before I departed, even if that good thing only lasted for a short time (in other words, something that somebody improved upon later). However, that thing hasn't come to pass and I don't really know where else I could focus my efforts. Something will pop up. Maybe I've already done it and just haven't realized it yet. Anyway...

I'm not scared to die. No one lives forever. Everyone dies. We'll each have our own moment in time to face it. I suppose we could look at it like the ancients did: with weight scales of deeds. If your good deeds outweighed your bad deeds, then your soul passed on to the afterlife. If not, then you descended into hell. I think that's more of a metaphor for the weight on your mind in your final hours. Unless you have an unexpected sudden death, or you descend into Dementia or Alzheimer's or some other similar disease that ravages your mind, then you're gonna have time to reflect on your life before you pass on. If one's past weighs heavy on his or her mind in his or her final hours, then that person might be wishing they had more time or a second chance. It's a terrible way to go, feeling unfulfilled.

If you really worry that much, then maybe you should do more. Live more. Experience more. Give more of yourself to the community and/or to the world. Or do more for yourself. I don't know how you feel about this, but maybe you should go to church. Or not. Find some kind of spiritual outlet or whatever. Your mind and your heart yearn for things, but your soul's somewhere in there in between too.

This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspective...

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

I use to love going to the races. Back when Oaklawn had like a 65 day race window, the basic bets were win/place/show plus the daily double. Exotic betting was years down the road.
When I was a senior in high school I had watched a horse through her training and on into the season. Derby week was approaching and she was entered into the second race. I wanted to be there for the race so my dad sent a note with me for school. The vice principal being use to such shenanigans told me he would have to verify the legitimacy of my note. I gave him the number to the track security booth and told him if he called within the next half hour he should get my dad, past that was questionable. After reluctant confirmation he told me my absence would not be excused to which I informed him with my grades and track record that was a mute point.

I forget where I was going with this story unless it was to say I hope you have better luck at the track than I did.

I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see? Can I believe
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy?
Just what I saw, in my old dreams,
Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?
Cause in my dreams, it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair

Why does EVERYTHING at a car dealership have to take forever? I had to go yesterday to buy out my lease. I'm just buying the truck because I'm way over the mileage and it still has hail damage that I haven't gotten fixed yet. So it should be something easy-peasy. It STILL took almost 2 hours to get it done.

Hmm the big shot might work. From what I've read, since I dont really use any other pedals, I need a true bypass, isolating output and phase reversal switch.
When I want a tone with effects, I usually use the katana amp. When I just want to play, clean or dirty, I use the fender. My plan, such as it is, is to run the 2 amps wet/dry, not stereo.

I can't live without pedals. They're kind of an addiction. :lol: There are some sounds you just can't get without pedals. Just saying.

So your wet set up is the Boss Katana, and your dry is the Fender (which one?). You can't really get a better naturally clean tone than Fender's, depending on the amp. Boss released a MK 2 for the Katana. There might be a firmware upgrade for the one you have. Don't quote me on that. It doesn't hurt to check.

Technically speaking, I could do a wet/dry set up with a stereo set up on one of the sides. I've got 3 amps. 2 of which suck really hard. Well, 1 that sucks really hard, I just have a low opinion of digital amps, so I say my Flextone 2 sucks, when in actuality, it's amp modeling section is pretty impressive. I just prefer tube amps. I haven't played through an Axe FX yet, so my opinion could change.

You should talk to Jay about minimal set ups. I think he's got a pretty impressive set up that doesn't take up too much space.

The katana is my 2x12 100 watt combo. It has enough built in effects for me. I'm sure theres better out there, but for my limited needs it's fine. My Fender is a bassbreaker 15 combo. Not true fender cleans, but close enough for me, and I really like the 2 gain stages. I dont have the setup wet/dry yet. Just thinking about trying it. I like both amps for different reasons, and I think they'd sound great together. My kat is the mk1 with the latest (and supposedly last) update. Not sure I see any real advantage to the mk2 for me. I do think I'll probably sell the BB15 at some point and buy a used bb30 once they've been out a bit.

I absolutely shit you not - doorbell rings 30 minutes later. It's the competition canvasing our condo building as they're installing new fiber-optic lines and have all sorts of promos. It was honestly baffling. Signed up with them for about 15% less plus a $400 bill credit and more channels on the spot. But they definitely bugged my house...
