It is hard to say without seeing it but at least twice I have fixed a leak with an approriate size hose clamp with rubber? gasket under the clamp. It was so easy I never went back and did a "permanent repair. One was on the hot water discharge line of a large water heater. So what if it only lasted about 5 years. I am sure on yours it will depend on where it is located and may not work at all but if it doesn't you sure haven't lost a lot of time and money.

What is the "mess"? construction? I went NM to Memphis last March and had the fewest issues in years. I do like going through OKC in less busy hours. Granted that was a little over a year ago. I returned from Memphis via I40 to Little Rock, I30 to New Boston a little east of Texarkana then picked up Hwy 82 to Hwy 287 just south of Wichita Falls then NW on 287 back to I40 at Amarillo. Most of Hwy 82 is 2 lane but not to busy most of the way. I usually take the loop around the N. side of Paris, TX. Again that was just over a year ago. Most of 287 is diveded 4 lane but not Interstate. BTW at Little Rock I usually take the southern bypass around Little Rock a little before you get to Little Rock. Not unusual to have road construction in some parts of Ark. Last year they were working on multiple mostly small bridges on the interstate in eastern Arkansas

I am aware of it. I am aware of a low level shipment headed there that fell off a truck on an unpaved mountain rd and rolled and slide about 20yards down hill. I know it was never reported in public and it disappeared over night. I know we evidently can't maintain and contain that resevoir in Fla and more hazardous materiels than I will ever know about. I would expect that anyone that thinks there is no danger from the chemicals and radioactivity should build right next to it and use it for a swimming pool and their drinking water. If we can't or won't maintain or process something so low level then why should anyone trust that we will do any better with anything more dangerous. I have no issue with nuclear if we can and will solve the issues but until I can believe anyone that that will happen I guess I will have to be an evil greeny or lefty in that regard. It would just tickle the hell out of me if it could be worked out. BTW greenies and leftys are all citizens and get a voice and a vote. Where have I heard this before, Trust me, I know what I'm doing. And I'm from the government and I am here to help you.

you should only use reviews as a rough guideline IMO. A park I stayed at a lot had never had a bad review and had put in a tornado shelter had to evict someone when he stopped them from doing something he thought was a risk to the park and and other people in the park. The guy and wife had stayed there year round for several years on a month to month and the guy walked away cursing the owner loudly. He was immediately informed he had to leave when that months rent was up. Then Bingo a bad review was posted.

Respectfully disagree. Have you heard today about the radio active water and other contaminents they are currently worried about in Fla. in some kind of containment resevoir. The company made their money and left the clean up to the taxpayers and the 'government" Of course this is all considered fake news by many. Often elected people.

That has been related to me by people that were told this by their Dr's. One person said that it can cause flare ups of herpes they were told by their Dr.

I could not find where it flat out said but to have that low consumption rate on 12V it would almost have to be a 12V compressor. I think I am correct that a lot of household compressor now have 12V compressors but I am not sure and do a soft-start up of the compressor.

Jim and john I read the power consumption is .74 amps per hour on 12Volt. Didn't see what it was on 120v. On their site it showed reg price for the 63qt was normally over $1700. but out of stock they are less than $500. In fact I believe it was the same price as the 42qt. After double checking the 42qt shows $429.99 and the out of stock 63 qt shows $474.99.

I have not followed the changes in the GI bill. My son used the Montgomery GI bill for four years of college and I am thankful for that. The version I had had a 10 year expiration and due to life circumstances I was only able to utilize it in a very limited way. Even that bit was very useful but I wish it didn't have the expiration or the possibility of transfer a portion or all of it to one of my children. I blew one semester out of an unnatural fear. I went to register and the whole process was so intimidating that I almost ran from the building. At that time I would have been more composed in a firefight. Stupid and embarrasing right. (like my spelling) At my age who the heck cares if it is embarrasing. Thank goodness I got over it.

I was surprised to hear it so I was asking if he had the shingles shot which he had a long time ago. I think he mentioned having a fever but I didn't think to ask about high and I don't think he mentioned it. Initially they were a little worried about get into his eye as it manifested on his head. I had vaguely heard of that but none confirmed. He has good medical care and his is not Uber painful. He is still glad he got the vaccine.

This just in, almost. about an hour ago I got a call from my buddy near San Jose, CA. He has had both Maderna shots and came down with Shingles. Not a really bad case and it is responding to treatment.

I have an in person VA visit next week. I guess I will find out if they will want to see it. Of course it is the same VA that gave me that gave me the shots so it should be in my records. Your thinking makes sense.

Can I get a big AMEN

What credible source says it doesn't work? I see/hear a certain element say that but I don't see them as legitimate and without an agenda to make that prouncation. Almost all information I read/see/hear says it is very legitimate but not without some issues. I guess Trump thought it works since him, his wife and I most if not all his children got vaccinated. IMHO

As much as I can see your point I also recognize how we still don't know for sure all the the ins and outs of this disease so I don't take for granted that it can't be passed. Plus the sucker keeps mutating which could change the possibility of infecting others. Is it worth the risk if we are starting to beat it down to let it up again. Besides what I was taught as a Marine I learned on the street not to give up the upper hand without a fight. When I was about 15 a guy with an iron bar attacked me and a buddy. He disabled my buddy by surprised and hurt me pretty good but I got the best of him and had him down and I didn't let him up until the help arrived. He was really lucky I didn't do more damage as in my mind he did not deserve any breaks but I did make sure he couldn't hurt anyone else. I had to hold him in a headlock for at least 20 minutes until help arrived.

Kirk, is that picture of your grandson. Whether it is or not I will think about him and anyone else there and surely pray for their safety.

If you don't mind and we have your permission some of the others may decided to comment among ourselves about the subject if we wish. Thank you and have a great day.

Don't try to mess with their food source either, even if is just a pile of acorns and more so something they may have killed or a carcus they have found.

100% Agree and as a memory test I believe in some of the olden days you used to have show that you had been vaccinated for some other diseases to travel to certain areas. Hope the old memory is correct.

I did see something about it elsewhere but don't remember exactly where. At this point I consider it informational only which is OK.

If you are interested, Hoss Cartwirght (Dan Blocker) from Bonanza tv show is buried at Dekalb (Decab) Tx. just a mile or so east of 259.

True at one location in Albuquerque for sure. They took my word for it so I did not have to dig it out. Tragically their coffee machine was down so it was a critical situation. How do you enjoy a donut without coffee and they didn't actually make money off me. I think they are going to make a ton of money off extra donuts and coffee and other drinks doing this. BTW today Jersey Mikes is donating all proceeds to charity for sales today. I never ate at one until about a month ago but was convinced to try it by a friend/volunteer that moved here from NJ when he retired.

as long as the got the vaccine right I can live with the card screw up

I have had two close calls with getting blasted and in some ways that caused more fear than dealing with that bear in my face. One was in the mountains at about 10:30pm. Nothing around but ice cold water other than the 6 gal in my water heater and supposed to get to freezing that night. I wouldn't have wanted to even go in my trailer but probably no choice. It would be a nightmare scenario.

With my pea brain I can't think of his real name at the moment but we lost an escapee with the handle of DevilishJim a few months back. This sucker is so unpredictable that it can affect anyone at anytime. We still don't know all there is to know about it. BTW if anyone has heard give us an update on how his DW is.
