Goldy - I was holding a camera, not a drink.

And come on, get it right. It would be a Tina Fey-Scarlet gyro given that we're both Greek.

No, but I have had to take antibiotics in the past, and if I didn't take them I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be healthy.

Maybe so but that doesn't mean you always have to take them. Some critters are fed them every day, its in their feed. I'd rather not eat antibiotics every day although I certainly have no aversion to them if I need them. I thinks thats the point of antibiotic free beef.

As an aside, I have a customer looking to see how much fuel a diesel power tub grinder is using in the course of a day. Multiple pieces of equipment are running out a large fuel tank and they want to see how much this one piece is using. You know of anything off the shelf that would do this? Its a Cat engine, don't hold that against me

Ewe said you sent your regards. I don't know...I mean just because you were 3000 miles away and hobnobbing with celebs seems like a pretty thin excuse to me At least Legal had a legit excuse.

The animals shouldn't be fed antibiotics every day, that is asinine, and definitely not something we do. But I get the impression that people have the impression that giving animals antibiotics is bad, when really, if a steer, hog, lamb, whatever has some kind of an infection you should definitely medicate it. We'd have 2x as many animals die if antibiotics aren't used. Besides, it is prohibited by the USDA to sell a market animal within a certain time period of that animal receiving an an antibiotic, but there isn't a problem with giving a calf something.

You can get fuel flow meters that you can put in the fuel line that should be able to get the job done, or if you can have an evil CAT technician out, and the engine is electronically controlled, you can get fuel consumption information off of the ECM.

Huh, didn't think of that. I think this baby is pretty old, maybe 15, 20 years old?

If it is 15-20 years old then you probably wouldn't be able to get this from the engine ECM. Diesel engines started switching over to electronic control systems in about '98-'02. I would just get inline flow meters (you'll need 2). Measure the flow to the engine, it will give you a number in gal/hour or lb/hour depending on the meter, and then use another one to measure the return flow from the engine back to the tank. Subtract B from A and multiply by the hours run per day and you'll have your daily fuel consumption.

Hello, Lodge. Checking in from the nannying location. Busy day, got myself registered for my last post-bacc. class (an online class for 3 credits on Medical Transcription...only required for one school... ) and spent some time in the scorching heat with the kiddies.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 120: How do you want to die?

It already is; got another loaf of bread rising right now and I think I'm making red beans and rice for dinner tonight, either that, or lentil soup.

We have red beans and rice quite often. Half of my wife's family [her mom's side]was born and raised in Louisiana and many of them still live there. Consequently, we have our fair share of Cajun delicacies.

Decided to have that on Wednesday; went with whole grain pizza tonight.

Tomorrow is going to be a rough one. Have to work for 5 hours and then get paid to go to the State Fair and eat free food and drink free beer on the company dime (not unlimited sadly).

Yeah, thats the people that really shouldn't be in business there, those corperate factory farms where they feed antibotics to their animals every day. Thats how we're ending up with all of these nasty antibotic resistant bacteria out there now. When the animal needs it, for a legit reason, yeah, give it the medicine, but um yeah, they shouldn't be giving it to them like its freaking candy.


Glad Mom's home now. Got somebody to pawn the dog off on. Its been wanting to sit up in my lap all night here and its been having a Fart Storm. One right after another.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 120: How do you want to die?

So...
The girl who wanted to sublease the sorority room from me needed to move her stuff in a week before my lease was to end, so I agreed, as long as I could keep my things in the room a week after my lease was up because I wasn't able to move until then. Well, I got a text this evening saying if my belongings needed to be out by midnight tomorrow or else they will be thrown away.

W... T... F...
Thanks "sisters".
Yes, I now expect the I told you so's. Ready, go.

if its not in writing it isn't going to happen... that being said, if that's what you agreed to that's bull. If they are subleasing from YOU why is this even an issue?
