Tom,

When I was on a vacation in the Bahamas with my wife we'd go to this little pub at the hotel for happy hour before supper time.

Well every day there was this guy setting there at the same seat at the bar every day. One day we struck up a conversation and I asked him what he did for a living since he seemed to have a lot of free time.

Turns out he was the caretaker on a luxury yatch for the Bata family who have shoe factories all over the world.

They'd only visit with family or friends a couple of times a year. So he was paid a salary for taking care of the boat and actually lived on the boat.

He also did some repairs on other boats, motorcycles, etc.....to supplement his income. This was many years ago I'm wondering if his liver is still working from all the abuse he's given it over the years.... :laughing7:

Folks,

I had posted a picture earlier of Windsor Station where I worked. Here's another picture of the concourse area I was told when it was built in the early part of the 1900's it was the largest glass roofed structure in the British Commonwealth at that time.

Regards + HH

Well, I hope he cools down and keeps posting. I really liked talking to him. After I wandered away from the RPT, I ran into some unpleasantness. I was going to quit myself. Promised someone I would stick it out till my membership ended before I made my final decision. Then Bosnmate posting his hospital pic reeled me back in. (I miss his posts!!) That, and you and jeff-gordon wondering where I was. I realized I can't stay away. I like all of the people I have met on here. I was also told to suck it up, it's the internet. And frankly, that's what I have to do. So slowly, I got back into it. I was going slow until I got a creepy post on my music thread. It was obvious someone was trying to scare me. That wasn't the first time either. I've had another one that I have ignored. ( Ignored but not forgotten.) Now I have this attitude that living in a bubble isn't living. I think I might be going through my midlife crisis. With my mom and all her health issues and my son battling addiction, I am under a lot of stress. This site and talking to everyone has been a great help to me.

I have had to do some self examination. What it boils down to for me is realizing I have no control over what happens, just control what I post. And obviously, as I just demonstrated in my pic post, I'm going to screw up.

Hope I don´t offend someone with my reaction on that photo but this happen for REASON!
Since I was 13 years old "such" guys was after me and many of them in a real bad and disturbing way (wish I had such an attraction on woman in those days...!).
So I react a little bit different on them as the lefties and liberals demand from us...

Anyway, nowadays I have buddies which are gay (and DON´t try to touch me !!!) and also them would make some jokes about that photo

Only happened to me once, but GEEZ was it a bad time!! Was my 3rd (and final) trip to Finland. Went with a group of business school students over into Russia. Seems like we stayed 2 nights, but I can only remember the one. ...Actually, I can't forget it!

That night, the class split up into two groups. About 2/3 went to a bar, and the other 1/3 went knocking door-to-door to "spread the Word". All of the talking was gonna be in Russian, and I didn't even speak Finnish...so I reluctantly chose to go to the bar. By the way, I don't drink. While there, this large drunk dude comes up to me and starts talking. Of course I have no idea what he's saying. Eventually he makes his intentions clear. Having trained in martial arts, I was getting ready to kill this guy. BUT.....I'M IN RUSSIA!! I CAN'T DO THAT!!

Fortunately he didn't want to fight and went on his way.

WHEW!!

Hey all, here's a great little video I found on Youtube. It's not even 11 minutes long, so easy to watch. I found it entertaining - hope ya'll enjoy!

Tom_Restorer · May 26, 2018

Gold Boy,

think this will be my next "toy" after our Tenpoint crossbows get´s broken JUST after 600 shoots!

On the Warrior one bow is spliced down to the cam and on the Invader the black layer on the bows cracks open and white glass fiber comes out... Now THAT is what I call quality... :BangHead:

But may they comes just from productions for the european market, who knows :dontknow:

...

The name sub-1 means that this beauty shoots groups under 1" at 100 years! Perfect for prone precision shooting.

WD,

Sorry about the rough time you're going through on a personal level. Unfortunately life throws us some pretty tough curves along the way and a lot of it we can't control as you've decifered yourself.

Insofar as the internet or life in general we'll all come across a few bad apples along the way, but for the vast majority they are all well intentioned.

Spending most of my career in sales taught me to have a tough skin or I wouldn't have survived but only maybe 5% or so were outright jerks. That figure pretty much holds true with most of my dealings.

I do admin on another forum and very few members actually have to be banned. So keep the faith and don't let the negative ones take you down.

End of speech...lol.

Regards + HH
