OSA Chit Chat Thread

I posted in another thread that today is my wife’s birthday, and I took off this afternoon to take her out to eat and run some errands with her so she wouldn’t have to go by herself. I’m sitting in the truck while she shops and watching people walk by, and I’m shocked at how many adults can’t walk from the vehicle to the store without having their faces buried in their phones. These people have no idea what going on around them and evidently no concept of situational awareness.

Are your doors locked ? lol

Nope, but if they were, it would be for the benefit of whoever might try to get in with me. I actually park way out away from other cars, so if someone were coming up on me, I’d know well in advance.

My wife wanted mexican food, so we went to place we’ve been a few times. The food was decent as always, but I can honestly say it was the most apathetic restaurant staff I’ve seen anywhere.

Tell her Happy Birthday from us!

Hopefully a few are doing that walking into the store because they didn't bury their nose in it while driving.

That is something that was a wake-up call to me. A few years ago I was coming out of the McDonald’s on the turnpike and not paying attention. My new truck was blue but I went to a red F-150 (the color of my old one) and opened the driver’s door to find an elderly gentleman sitting behind the steering wheel in “my” truck. Thank God he wasn’t armed and ready. Said “excuse me” shut the door and went to my new truck.

This image comes from an area near Highway 12 in Utah. That highway starts over near Bryce Canyon and goes eastward. Along that road is a site that one can hike to called Mossy Cave, and there is also a waterfall that is part of what they call "the Tropic Ditch." I'll let the second image explain that.

The most significant issue related to the upcoming presidential election is its potential effect on the future of the Supreme Court.

Work has deemed fit that we need outfitted with more tools, so off to Amazon I went a few days ago. This 4-32" inside mic kit was amongst the purchases, I'm sure there are better brands but this one should suffice for what we do...(nevermind the boss, he was just wondering if it was edible )

I have a ton of precision tools. Starrett, Brown and Sharpe, and others when working Maintenance in a couple of machine shops. If one bought china and used it within sight of anybody or submitted it to the calibration group, you got laughed out of the room.

This is correct. There are a couple of Justices wanting to resign and enjoy the rest of their lives. They are hanging on so libs don't have the chance to appoint a successor like Merrick Garland that Mitch McConnel squashed. Love Mitch for that, but he needs to go. His brain is like bidens.
