wedding video final b.m4v

Brought home a gunsafe, opened, but didn't have the combination. Did everything wrong, took the dial off the spindle, turned the wheels by hand, & spilled the bolt, springs & detents all over the carpet. Threw the lock back together until I got home. Over a cup of coffee I examined the lock, figured out it was a three # combination that opened on the last rh turn. Moved the safe into a spare laundry room, re-hung the door, & re-installed the lock, after I guessed where the dial should be (looked at the splines). Opened the bolt, turned the wheels with the backplate off (another no-no) by using the change combination key. Bound the dial a couple of times, but centered things with the change key, and it accepted a new combination. Took between 10-12 unlocking with the new combo before I had the guts to close the door & throw the bolt. Viola! Another working safe. No, OSHA would not have approved how I removed this safe from the house. Nor how I moved it into mine, sans door, bare footed.

The entertainment people have forgotten what put them in business in the first place. To amuse & distract folks from their daily trials. Do they really expect you to PAY for a torturous sermon while getting a root canal? Woke can crash, burn, and die.

CONGRATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go woke !!! Go broke !!!

The only way to transport these things is mated, and shorting bars across the back of the poles. They went in the travel case specifically built for them, to keep them separated. I wouldn't carry them in a vehicle otherwise, might screw up the operating computer. A new technique was developed, and we attached pure nickel strips to piping, then used an alnico mag to introduce a field. Wrapped our coils around that array & we had a useful signal. Much more portable, much safer, and we pushed the beasts off to a corner.

Looking forward to playing during this event. I may need to check on my COD2 settings Just wanted to let everyone know that since this is the same weekend as our usual monthly XI Happy Hour on Zoom, we are going to open the Zoom room throughout both days of the memorial event. Please take a few minutes during that weekend to jump on and meet some of your fellow clan members outside of the games, and reminisce about the great memories you have of our fallen members.

Very sad to see all these names but also some lifelong memories of such characters,its not hard to still hear their voices in your head and remember the great moments we had together. RIP to you all Rockape
