HOW TO INSTALL A SOUTHERN HOME SECURITY SYSTEM 1. Go to Goodwill and buy a pair of size 14-16 men's work boots. 2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo Magazine. 3. Put four giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines. 4. Leave a note on your door that reads ...... Bubba, Bertha, Duke, Slim, & I went for more ammo and beer. Be back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls. They got the mailman this morning and messed him up bad. I don't think Killer took part, but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside. Be right back. Cooter

Specifically Houston Texans?? I'm only asking because Mario Williams (#90) is from Richlands... I was 4 years ahead of him in school, but my BIL and him grew up together... His father lives not even 1/2 mile down the dirt road I live on, his Grandmother is across the street, and his cousins... Well, they're the ones that raise pit bulls for fighting, and had the Pit Bull that killed my dog a few months ago. (For those of you wondering, the Pit Bull and I had a run in a few weeks later and the Pit Bull didn't fair so well.) I've met them all, and his father seems rather nice... His grandmother is FUNNY (in an old-crotchety-paranoid-kinda-way) and I'll just bite my toungue about the cousins... I just find it amazing the money some NFL players make, and his family lives in borderline poverty! A few years ago he bought his Grandmother a new washer and dryer, bought his Dad a Dodge Ram, and that was it. He hasn't been back to visit, and doesn't do anything else for them... Maybe I'm just a bird of a different feather, but if I was pulling anywhere even CLOSE to even $90k a year, I'd take care of the people who raised me... Okay, I'm done ranting.

I haven't been here in a while to see how eveyone's doing... Last week a pit bull that belongs to the neighbors was let off-leash and killed our youngest dog, Taffy. She was a funny-lookin' breed, a mix between a Shih-Tzu and a Miniature Pinscher. She wasn't even 2 years old yet, and was the ABSOLUTE sweetest animal you could imagine, and would fall asleep if anyone rubbed her little belly. Weighing in at 5lbs, she was no match for the 90lb Pit that crushed her body, broke her back, 2 legs, cracked her skull open, and mauled her torso in a matter of 15 seconds. She was still barely alive (Bleeding out and unable to breathe) when I ran back outside (after getting my gun) but the pit bull was nowhere to be seen. I had to put her down myself, and it's the hardest thing I've had to do in a LONG time. I included some pictures of her as a puppy, and a recent one with her boyfriend, Murphy. (who is VERY sad about the loss of his best friend.) As if I needed another reason to hate Pit Bulls, or the stereotypes that own them. Anyhow, we already took it up with Animal control, and they went as far as 'labeling the pit bull as dangerous.' That's it, simply because my dog wasn't on a leash (in my own dang yard) I'm working on a way to ensure the pit ceases to live as a result of high-velocity lead poisoning in the cranial region... No success yet. We are going to put up a simple wood post & wire-fence (since chain link was more than we could afford to have installed) and hope that will suffice in protecting our December-Due-Baby, 2 young girls, our Mini-Dachshund, and whatever dog we adopt next. If I'm not mistaken, I thought a VR Member owned a pet-shop, or a shelter of sorts in NC... I don't remember who it was, but we're soon to be looking for a new family member, and would love to keep it in the VR family too.

For the 'nam and Persian Gulf vets: · H.R.2926 which would require the VA to provide medical care to Vietnam era and Persian Gulf War veterans who were exposed to herbicides BURN PIT TOXIC EMISSIONS Update 10: When epidemiologist Shira Kramer first saw data about some 400 service members who say they were sickened by open-air burn pits in Afghanistan and Iraq, she said she was shocked to see how well their symptoms matched up with symptoms associated with toxic exposure. "I was appalled but not surprised to learn that there were so many serious adverse health effects," she said. "We know open pit burning is very dangerous." Kramer, who has a doctorate in epidemiology and co-authored a textbook about it, was invited by lawyer Elizabeth Burke to research the burn pits to compile evidence for several class-action lawsuits against military contractor KBR. The military typically disposes of waste in burn pits during contingency operations, but KBR took over burn-pit operations for the largest of the pits at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. In a memo dated 20 DEC 06, Air Force Lt. Col. Darrin Curtis, former bioenvironmental flight commander at Balad, said the chemicals to which troops there may have been exposed include: dioxin, the same chemical that made Agent Orange so toxic; benzene, an aircraft fuel known to cause leukemia; arsenic; dichlorofluoromethane, or Freon; carbon monoxide; ethyl benzene; formaldehyde; hydrogen cyanide; nitrogen dioxide; sulfuric acid; and xylene. Kramer said the mix of chemicals, and their combination with particulates such as ash and sand, may have made the problem worse. "You have a toxic brew that is … much more dangerous than individual chemicals alone," she said. "The absorption onto particulate matter then allows these chemicals not only to deeply penetrate into the lungs, but also to have a dwell time in the lungs." Air Force officials say the burn pit at Balad has been cleaned up - the 90,000 water bottles a day that were being burned are now recycled, and hazardous materials are no longer making their way to the pit. But even if the pit burned only wood and paper, the troops would still be at risk, Kramer said, noting that burning wood produces dioxin. "Uncontrolled, open burning of any of these materials represents a hazard. The symptoms can be signs of acute respiratory problems and blood cancers… Troops stationed near burn pits who began coughing and spitting up black stuff - 'plume crud,' they call it - should have served as a warning to military officials. The acute effects are a tip-off that something quite troubling is going on… Military data showing that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease cases have risen by 12,000 a year since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began are especially troubling. ..You would not expect to see COPD in a young, healthy population … in this age range," she said. "It's extremely unusual and unexpected."

NASCAR NEWS...Jeff Gordon fires his entire pit crew This announcement followed Gordon's decision to take advantage of the government's scheme to employ Harlem youngsters. The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Gordon's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of dollars worth of high tech equipment. It was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Gordon's management team as most races are won or lost in the pits. However-Gordon got more than he bargained for! At the crew's first practice session, not only was the inexperienced crew able to change all 4 wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had changed the paint scheme, altered the Vin number, and sold the car to Dale Jr. for 10 cases of Bud, a bag of weed, and some photos of Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower. :stickinouttounge:GOT YOU!!

As I promised earlier here are some pictures of the Pit Bull lift. This is the air operated and I feel it was worth the extra money spent. You can use just the jack if you wish. The boxes. The lift ships at 110 pounds. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/002.jpg http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/005-1.jpg Next we opened her up. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/006-3.jpg Here are the Venture adapters. $39.00 for these. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/007-1.jpg Next install the front wheels making sure the locking nuts are started correctly. Really only one way to mount. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/012-4.jpg Next mount the jack to the lift. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/013-4.jpg Install the lift locks. These prevent the lift from moving. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/015-3.jpg Swing the saddle over the bottle jack as shown here. You can adjust the top part of the bottle jack for more height. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/016.jpg Install the air chuck assembley. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/019.jpg Here are the Venture adapters. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/021.jpg And the finished assembly. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/022-1.jpg I can not post pictures of lifting the bike at this time. Just a little warm in Arizona so it's ready to be trailered to cooler areas. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/runeight/009-1.jpg I was considering a table style of lift but just don't have the room. This should work with the Hayabusa after fairing removal. Pit Bull had $50.00 off when I purchased this model. Shipping was $80.00 at that time. Not cheap but a very well made motorcycle lift. hh
