Absolutely useless facts about you nobody cares about
Bloodhound and I shared a smoking patio with a couple aged bikers the other night. Perfect gentlemen. It reminded me of a time we were camping near Yellowstone with my daughter and her family. We ran out of flour for pancakes so my son-in-law and I got up early and hit up some local convenience stores and gas stations, as if any shop in rural Idaho is going to stock gluten free 'flour'. There was a large group (>20) of Hell's Angels in one place and one held the door for us as we entered. I said 'thank', he said 'you're welcome'. Back in the truck, my SIL was surprised. I said 'They're adults, it's not like they go 'round looking for a fight at 7 in the morning. Besides, respect and politeness is a pretty big deal in their world. It also helps that I'm 20 or 30 years older than all of them.'

That's a good one. I have a few H.A. stories also, from our days in S. Carolina. One that's similar to yours is when my wife and kids and I were entering a local pizza place, and a small group of H.A.s were coming out. We waited for them to exit the doorway, and the last guy out said "well, I got the old lady fed", and then held the door for us. "Thanks", I said, and he replied yw, as well as a few other pleasantries. I'd seen the bikes in the lot when we drove up and hesitated at first, but the kids wanted pizza, and everything looked peaceful.FredS wrote: ↑02 May 2024, 11:30 Bloodhound and I shared a smoking patio with a couple aged bikers the other night.

Absolutely useless facts about you nobody cares about
My Stihl leaf blower was/has been running real rough. So tonight after weed whacking I needed it.
I looked at the air cleaner, fuel filter, and cleaned and re-gapped the spark plug but it still ran like crap.
For a last chance, I pulled the spark arrestor and it was fouled. I ran a Brass brush over it several times until I could see light thru it and then blew some compressed air into it and reinstalled it.
That was the issue, It now runs strong again but it’s too late to fire up at this hour, maybe I’ll finish up tomorrow.

Know what I like more than seeing kids fishing?
Nothing.
Not one damn thing.
This is Grandson II. We call him Soy Sauce. He lives at a lake and his mom has promised that once he can remove a hook from his fish, he can go alone. Still needed Dad's help with this one.
When he's not fishing, playing soccer or video games, he buys gear and reorganizes his box. He just does. It's a slippery slope buddy.

There are ants in my truck. I guess I'll clean it out completely and then fumigate it.

I got in my truck recently after a few days in the parking garage. Something smelled dead. I found a half-eaten burger rolled up in a sack. No ants, but there was something squiggling in the bag.sweetandsour wrote: ↑08 May 2024, 06:09 There are ants in my truck. I guess I'll clean it out completely and then fumigate it.

Fishing lures are purposefully manufactured to catch fishermen.
