  1. Anything that claims to work indoors and get that many Digital channels is complete bull shit unless you live somewhere that's surrounded with digital TV towers. The Walls of a house will block most of your usable TV signals let alone any hills or mountains in your area. Read some reviews and it seems to be good for up to 50 miles. Not very impressive when you can get a cheap $30 outdoor HDTV antenna that will have a 150+ mile range. You can get the same indoor antenna shipped directly from CHINA on Ebay for $1.99 + shipping and the booster for another $1.99 + shipping. lol Here check this one out. It's $32 shipped and they sold a butt load of them. I <3 Ebay lol. https://www.ebay.com/itm/150MILES-OUTDOOR-TV-ANTENNA-MOTORIZED-AMPLIFIED-HDTV-HIGH-GAIN-36dB-UHF-VHF/110940583801?epid=580023363&hash=item19d492f779:g:GvQAAOSwxxdZaw8r
  2. I take it you have never ridden in or driven in a long nosed square grill truck like that big Peterbilt. Looks like a Peterbilt 389. I have with my uncle and my buddy all over the east coast. Sun hits the hood and glares back at ya and you get hit rite in the face from the top of the big windshield. Just the brightness from snow can cause problems. Inexperience had a role in it to but it wasn't the cause. Here have a watch. The sun is not bright at all in this video but look at the glare you get on the windshield. And what little sun that was hitting this truck was hitting the passenger side door. And this truck has a large visor on the top of the cab that hangs over the windshield. It gets alot worse in direct sunlight. At times the whole road disappears.
  3. That really sucks. But they should not blame the truck driver. It wasn't either drivers fault. If you look at where it happened and where the sun was at the time and everything it's easy to see why it happened. If the Sun was in the truck drivers eyes he HAD to be going west and it happened Friday evening so the sun would of been in the W/SW. And a bunch of thick trees to the left of the truck and right of the bus coming up to the intersection so neither one of them could possibly know there was traffic coming the other way untill it was to late. google maps link to the crash site https://www.google.com/maps/@53.1031634,-104.0265512,3a,75y,358.49h,76.07t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4IjsSsjKDZNR69GawsWfTQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en Made a generic map overlay. It explains alot. Just a really bad spot at that time of the day and with the blinding light of the sun hitting the snow it would be impossible for for anyone to see a little stop sign in time. And with those trees well you get the picture.
  4. Update: We just got back from picking him up. He's back home. Very sore and grumpy. They installed his pace maker yesterday morning. He has a crap pile of doctors appointments that he has to go to over the next 4-6 weeks for therapy and checkups but he's walking around ok. Understandably Slow but ok.
  5. Praying for her buddy. Keep your chin up and Stay strong for her.
  6. Thank you all very very much. I mean it. BTW did I mention how much I HATE Hospitals? Dads new Doctor up there is a no Bull Shit type of person. No beating around the bush, tell it how it is type. That is Exactly what he needs. Someone that will tell him what to do and what will happen if he doesn't do exactly that. The Doc that he had when he had his bypass did not speak English very well (I think he was Indian? like from India) and he was very hard to understand. But he did do great work. Doc said that if we didn't catch it so soon he would of passed out from lack of oxygen and probably wouldn't have woken back up. This shit fucking sucks man it really really fucking sucks.
  7. My dad had what they call a Silent heart attack Thursday evening. He thought it was just heartburn from the BBQ chips he ate but he was really weak and pale Friday morning. Barely enough strength to stand up. I knew something wasn't rite so I called 911 because he had double bypass surgery almost 15 years ago and he is type 2 diabetic. They put him on there monitor and confirmed what I thought was going on. (clogged up again with lower than normal heart rate) They gave him Nitro and he stabilized and they called for a Life Flight up to the hospitals Cardiac facility which is about 1 1/2 hours away with all of the stop lights and crap and up over the mountain to Johnstown by car. Or a quick 10-15 minute ride in a chopper. He had 1 badly clogged artery so they ballooned him open and it worked but his heart rhythm was off slightly. They want to install a pace maker just to be sure. He had a fever yesterday and doc didn't want to take the chance. His fever let up last night and they were supposed to install his "upgrade" today. I just got off of the phone with them and they are adjusting some of his meds and setting up physical therapy and a strict diet plan and having a little "talk" with dads regular local doctor. His regular doctor had prescribed Lopressor to him for some reason. Lopressor lowers your blood pressure which is not something that you want to give to a person that had problems with clogged arteries. It actually might have contributed to his heart attack but the Doc said that it would of happened anyway and it might have actually been alot worse. So if everything goes ok over the next day or 2 he should be home soon. We're expecting a call from them this evening with an update. I won't be on much until we hopefully get him back home. And even then it's going to be a while untill I'm back on any normal gaming schedule. I can't sleep but I'm to tired to do anything other than a bunch of crap around the house that needs done and lots of cleaning. Sleep schedule is when ever I can get some. I'm only getting 2-3 hours of sleep at night after I lay there tossing around till 3am or later and waking back up at 6-6:30am.
  8. It finally happened. @BigPapaDean is Pregnant. lol They legalized online Gambling in Pennsylvania in 2017. Hell we have slot machines and video poker machines at all of the larger truck stops,air ports and small mom & pop grocery stores.
  9. The fall of the Roman Empire : disease, invasion, civil war, social unrest, inflation, economic collapse. In fact all were contributory factors, although key to the collapse of Roman authority was the prolonged period of imperial in-fighting during the 3rd and 4th century. They must of had Facebook.

  21. Hello no. There is very very little strength in a board that's turned sideways. That bottom board is the Seal plate. A seal plate is usually Pined or bolted to the foundation and the Joists are nailed to the seal plate. There needs to be some sort of Header installed since it is definitely load bearing. And a Reinforced Concrete Lintel will not be enough to hold that kind of load. 3 2x10s glued and screwed or glued and nailed together and 6" to 8" (or more if you want) wider than the opening. Use 3 2x10s minimal. Use 3x12s if you have room to get them in. That's ALOT of weight up there. An average sized fireplace and chimney can easily weigh 5 ton+ and that's just for the Brick work. Here this will help you Alot. Skip down to where it says Step 1. It's a bit of work but it will save your fireplace and chimney from crashing through the floor. Looks like you have some water staining on the joists. I would call someone in and have them inspect the brickwork after you jack up the floor and install the header. Brickwork can be resealed if they are not to bad. https://www.oneprojectcloser.com/how-to-replace-a-load-bearing-door-header/ I was a licensed and insured contractor before I got hurt. Me and my 5 man crew did the Framing, roofing, plumbing, electric and kitchen installs. My boss and his small 3 man group were the Masons. They did the foundations and concrete and stone work and driveways and sidewalks. Then we had a 6 man Finishing crew that did all of the pretty stuff like insulation, drywall, flooring, paint, trim and siding. We contracted out the HVAC stuff for insurance purposes.
  22. The Licensed Guided Double Decker Tour is absolutely epic. We were on the top floor which has no roof. Just make 100% sure that it is not going to rain and bring plenty of Sun Block. Save up a few bucks and do it. It will be the most memorable thing you do for a long time. http://www.gettysburgbattlefieldtours.com/gettysburg-tours/gettysburg-tours/licensed-guided-double-decker-tour/ Last time I did the tour I was 14 years old and went with the whole family including my Grandpa and Grandma. I still remember most of that trip like it was yesterday and that was 32 years ago. It takes 3-4 days to see everything so plan on staying for the week. You will not regret it. There are wooded camp grounds all over the place about 5 miles south of Gettysburg. Perfect for a motor home or travel trailer or even a large tent. If I go again I'll be camping out in a tent and I'll be bringing my scooter. A bit to much to walk everywhere and traffic can be ridicules especially around the 4th of July up untill Oktoberfest. lol THIS might be fun if ya have a place to pass out. Hmmmmm Possible XI Fest Location? Gettysburg Brew Fest 2018 Aug 18 Held on Seminary Ridge Battleground https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gettysburg-brew-fest-2018-tickets-40855740620?aff=es2
  23. We were supposed to go Out West with my grandpa on one of his big hunting trips that summer. Never did make it out there. Grandpa passed away in 84. We did make it up to Canada in time for Salmon that year though. It was an awesome experience.
