    1987,I was 10 pulling my great grandfathers Threshermen’s machine in a parade. I was hunting by myself with a 12 gauge. I was driving my grandfathers truck (thats sitting in my garage now) and riding dirt bikes. I was working on go cart and motorcycle engines. Tearing them apart and putting them back together. Some of us are smart but not meant to sit and take test. Mothers always freaked out when I was a kid, Dads were amazed other kids were jealous. Moral of the story don’t be upset if your kid blazes their own path in life. Some times their path will be more exciting then most. Some times they are more advanced then you. And sometimes they will build a great life. Have a great week everyone ✌️✌️✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Looks like the Farmall I was driving about the same age all over the farm.

    but I laughed. I'm going to the Nad place.
    Or the bad place. I guess they're one in the same.

    A Walgreens in San Francisco, which reportedly gets hit by thieves 15 to 20 times a day, recently started using chains to keep everyday items in its freezers locked away. Shoppers must tap a button to request an employee when they want to get something from the freezers.

    Yet we don’t prosecute, just let them run wild in the streets.

    All of the Home Depots near me have most "good" items are behind bars.

    Speaking of behind bars, people who are speeding at 100+ MPH on the roads should be. Last weekend just north of Atlanta, Hall County Sheriff's deputy's wife and two young children killed by Corvette traveling 150 mph, sheriff says.

    The wreck occurred at this dangerous intersection on divided Hwy 365. They want to make these intersections safer, but not much said about slowing cars down. I noticed the driver of the Corvette lives lived less than a mile from my house.

    My brother is a mgr. at a local HD. They've been locking up power tool cartons in cages for a couple of years. He said the thieves knew where the Li-Ion batteries were placed inside each product box. They would simply slice the box open and steal the expensive battery and leave the box untouched on the shelf. He said he's already seen one person with wire cutters trying to cut open the cage fencing. He said the cages have definitely limited losses for the stores.

    His store is in a safe suburban area. Nowhere is safe anymore it seems. He has hundreds of theft stories.

    He gets so very upset that he can't do much. Each store has a few specialized personnel that are the only ones allowed to apprehend a suspected thief. They must know they have taken something and they must be stopped within the building. So very much is still lost, it's just sad!
