So can any of you old farts suggest a few songs for me??? Similar to tom pettys, you dont know, or last dance???? Not the message but the sound....I dont like anything hard, heavy metal, music that sounds like screaming, or death worshiping....

Smooth sounding good old tunes on the other hand i like, but i was young during those times so i dont know many songs from that era. I like some tom petty, journey, and steve miller band too....

So any suggestions from you old farts that were still old back then lmao..........

Im getting so disappointed in new music.... I like a little of most genres of music, but lately none of the genres are near as good as they use to be. Rap use to have meaning, but now its all about how much money you got, diamonds in your mouth and big rims.... I dont give a $hit about none of that. What happened to rapping about the girl you wanted, the fight you were getting into, and chilling and smoking... those things i could relate to but this BS about chains hanging low and 28 inch rims is fockin stupid!

Dire Straits and Eric Clapton. Thank me later.
 
wow. $265 and climbing for a certain Becker pack... hah.
 
Also: Bon Jovi, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Men Without Hats, Men at Work, Aha, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, The Scorpions(Metal, but even I like them), Simon and Garfunkel, The Police... and many, many others, I just read through my mp3 player for these.
 
Shouldnt be so delicious but i just ate 4 and want 4 more...So i got to thinking.... whats inside them that makes them so good.... And low and behold there is an article named whats inside a slim jim....

Beef
It's real meat, all right. But it ain't Kobe. The US Department of Agriculture categorizes beef into eight grades of quality. The bottom three—utility, cutter, and canner—are typically used in processed foods and come from older steers with partially ossified vertebrae, tougher tissue, and generally less reason to live. ConAgra wasn't exactly forthcoming on what's inside Slim Jim.

Mechanically separated chicken
Did you imagine a conveyor belt carrying live chickens into a giant machine, set to the classic cartoon theme "Powerhouse"? You're right! Well, maybe not about the music. Poultry scraps are pressed mechanically through a sieve that extrudes the meat as a bright pink paste and leaves the bones behind (most of the time).

Corn and wheat proteins
Slim Jim is made by ConAgra, and if there are two things ConAgra has a lot of, it's corn and wheat.

Lactic acid starter culture
Although ConAgra refers to Slim Jim as a meat stick (yum), it has a lot in common with old-fashioned fermented sausages like salami and pepperoni. They all use bacteria and sugar to produce lactic acid, which lowers the pH of the sausage to around 5.0, firming up the meat and hopefully killing all harmful bacteria.

Dextrose
Serves as food for the lactic acid starter culture. Slim Jim: It's alive!

Salt
Salt binds the water molecules in meat, leaving little H2O available for microbial activity—and thereby preventing spoilage. One Slim Jim gives you more than one-sixth of the sodium your body needs in a day.

Sodium nitrite
Cosmetically, this is added to sausage because it combines with myoglobin in animal muscle to keep it from turning gray. Antibiotically, it inhibits botulism. Toxicologically, 6 grams of the stuff—roughly the equivalent of 1,400 Slim Jims—can kill you. So go easy there, champ.

Hydrolyzed soy
Hydrolysis, in this instance, breaks larger soy protein molecules into their constituent amino acids, such as glutamic acid. Typically, the process also results in glutamic acid salt—also known as monosodium glutamate, a familiar flavor enhancer.

Oh and starting in 2013 Slim jim products now contain pork.... so we have beef, chicken, pork, corn, wheat... Its a complete meal tied up in 1 stick lmao!

Did somebody say delicious?
 
Sooo holy crap. The big Four Zero today. Never thought I would live this long. Maybe a new blade and a bottle of scotch are in order.
 
Happy Birthday Thorny! Maybe this year you'll grow a little!

We have a TE 70 at work that we use for going through fire walls to run cable in our buildings. I had a guy up there with me that was all excited to use it, got half-way through, hit a hard spot (maybe rebar) and it torqued out of his hands and broke his jaw!
 
Kay and I were playing with the dog this morning and she told Penny to "go get your squeaky toy". Penny ran down to the pond and brought back a nice fresh raccoon leg.
