Several years back I had a bright red Chevy HHR as a loaner while my car was in the shop. I took it on a Boy Scout camping trip just outside of Mineral Wells, Texas. I sat there for hours watching a male Cardinal land on the wing mirror and attack his own reflection.
The story that I heard from a History Channel special on the Knights Templar (and confirmed here in Wikipedia, the source of all truth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar) is that on Friday the 13th, 1307, the French King arrested the leaders of the Knights Templar, leading to a number of them being burned…
I am the father of two Boy Scouts. My son is very close to his Eagle award. My daughter was initially in Girl Scouts but didn’t particularly enjoy it. She joined a Boy Scout Venturing Crew. Females in Boy Scout programs are not new at all. She loved the Crew, had great experiences, and participated in several…
You aren’t talking about the Awana program, are you?
Former Cubmaster, and Assistant Scoutmaster, current Venturing Crew Advisor. Father of two Scouts, a son who is almost Eagle and a daughter who was in Crew and did Philmont.
As a nurse with 10 years of pediatric critical care experience, it’s not just patients who are dying. I have read a number of research articles about patients who are heavily sedated/medically paralyzed while critically ill or ventilated. The patients I have read about talk about coming up from the medications just…
You should do a series on trading. Start with this car, trade it for something nicer, and keep going until you have Lamborghini.
That’s right, let’s put the youngest and least experienced drivers in the most dangerous vehicles out there. Must have been someone in government that came up with that idea.
My two favorites are from Central Texas. The Hutto Hippos and the Taylor Ducks.
I am a nurse with 10 years of ICU experience. We would administer activated charcoal to overdose/poisoning victims. Insert a big tube down their nose into their stomach. Load up whatever the dose was. Hope the tube doesn’t get clogged because that stuff is thick. Pray they don’t puke.

My secret for just about any form of cooking is brining. It really helps the white meat hold it’s juices. I have found that when I barbeque chicken it gives me an extra 10 degrees of temperature before it dries out. This assures I get the entire chicken up to safe temperature.
I remember when this happened in 1998. A USMC Prowler cut a ski lift cable. 20 people died when the car fell:

Ford SVO Mustang. This pushes the ‘early 80's’ reference but the first model came out in 1984, so I am going with it.
You can actually make your own smoked salts, if you have a smoker. Basically you put the salt (I used kosher) in a pan in the smoker with the meats. It helps if you have a very thin layer so it all gets smoked. Otherwise you have to periodically stir it. I made some hickory smoked salt a few weeks back and was pretty…
Yeah, I said similar things when I had kids. No Dad-mobile for me, no way. I am too cool for that.
I learned to drive a standard on a diesel Rabbit of the same vintage. Awesome car. Very well built and handled well. It was also really easy to drive, because you didn’t have to deal with deciding how much throttle to use. You just mashed it to the floor and went up through the gears until you ran out of forward speed.
