So my son comes up to me a little while ago and asks me if he can get a handful of nuts and bolts out of shop. I say, sure what are they for? Something broken?
He says, No, I want to take them to Six Flags next week and when we get on the roller coaster I'm going to tap the person in the seat in front of me on the shoulder and say "Here these came out of your seat." :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I am so proud!! He really is mine!! :D

I’m just a redneck debutante. Dressing up means clean jeans and a fresh fishing shirt. One of the things I love about New Orleans (except Uptown, which is a tiny kingdom unto itself), is people are judged by who they are, not by what they do for a living,have or don’t have,or what they wear, and not for their race/religion/orientation.

Nobody could get in or out of my apartment complex, while I was parked across the street I saw they got the gate open somehow and scrambled inside. My apartment was not in complete darkness and I have not needed any flashlights since I have a Hue Go -- which just ran out of juice...

Guess you should've bought a light up box mod instead of the Dicodes.......

What's really fun in New Orleans is when talking to strangers begin every sentence with "I'm not racist but......." and then end with nothing remotely about race.
Something like "I'm not racist but have you been to the new restaurant on 10th street? My family really loved it."

Also, on some of the transportation I was on they wouldn't allow me to take liquid with me unless it was in new factory sealed and labelled bottles.
That's why I want to be able to print my own professional looking labels.

But replacing those dang CR123 batteries is expensive, don't want to waste them.....
I have a big stockpile from before they switched over to LED, at this point I think I have a lifetime supply for my 6P LED, my C3 Xeon/ halogen burned through them like there was no tomorrow... I think battery time for 200 lumens was 20 minutes! :lol:

I hear “I’m not racist but” in much of the rest of the south, but rarely here. We’re a widely mixed race/ nationality city. People that were enslaved in other parts of the South for years, instead here owned businesses, sent their sons and daughters to schools, and lived the lives they carved out for themselves during the late 1800’s. The first girls school to open in the US in 1727 was open to all girls regardless of color or social status. They never had segregation, because everyone had always been welcome. And still are. That’s our gumbo pot way of life

I knew there was a reason for vape lasers!!! But, I still have a few Surefire tac lights from my 911 days...
Wish you were closer, I have a closet full of lanterns (battery) from hurricane seasons past. 3 small girls = must have entire house lit like Vegas to ward off the storm

A sure fire tac light is a very quick way to turn a dark room into day time! :thumb:

It's just fun. I do it everywhere.
Sometimes I switch it up to "No pun intended" and end it with something that isn't a pun. :pervy:
