Over: Forrest Gump. I get a lot of hate for this one but man that movie just doesn’t do it for me.

Under: Collateral. Tom Cruise has a lot of great movies, and I feel like this one is rarely mentioned among them. It’s a masterpiece.

Collateral moves at a pace that makes it seem a lot shorter than its 2 hour run time. It's not one of my go-tos if I'm just looking for something to watch, but it's definitely a good movie.

We just got one somewhat local. I have to agree. Not bad but not sure what the hype or wait was for

WB and In out have opened up here in Colorado last few years. Tried them both because of the Cali hype.

They are bland for my Midwest taistbuds.

Best burger around us is Latigo home grown

It all depends on what you are going for. If you have to have a gourmet burger here in Cali, you are going to pay big bucks. For quick , cheap and edible it's tough to beat In-n-out. I wouldn't eat at McDonalds if a burger came with a blow job.

Maybe I exaggerated just a bit there. I'll have a BJ hold the burger.

I like both in-n-out and 5 guys.

in-n-out has mastered consistency. It’s the same every time.

5 guys makes a better burger but sometimes it’s hit or miss and some places the service sucks. The Cajun fries at 5 guys best fries anywhere.

Ah that has to be a frustrating bitch. I was a working job site foreman on the hhg rig. In 96 wotc changed everything. I ended up being a 1 man crew & got injured a lot. Trucking is super flustrating also. Slow lazy warehouse people. That don’t care if we sit forever trying to ld or unld. Not allowed to use there restroom, no food. 6.30 am til now the rejects hv us hostage. That screws up the next 2 -3 days. Then I hv to run 29 hrs straight to get back on schedule. To make less than I did in 1989 making 9.00.  I looked into getting back into the laborers union. It’s not quite enough money. 4k hrs operating cranes,etc but the operator union is only for x military. So I,m stuck in this world. I just keep myself in a good mood& keep rolling.

I don’t know what the pay is like for you, but in our city they are constantly looking for school bus drivers. 25-30 dollars an hour. No experience required. Guaranteed 6hrs pay a day. Plus benefits and pension.

Your association with the Ukrainian mob might rule you out.

I hate it. I laugh every time I hear a second or, third year apprentice say, “ I can’t wait until I start running jobs”. Buddy, you have no idea what you’re in for. I dream of dropping a pipe wrench on you each time you walk by under my lift.
 

Better yet, material gets ordered and, for a specific task, laid out a certain way. You explain it exactly how you want it plumbed and, they decide to do it their way and, now you’re short material because they pulled a couple 45s or, whatever because, “ I WAS JUST THINKING”... This way was easier. No you dumb mother fucker. You needed to run it flat along that beam  and, so the line has supports because there’s going to be a duct there that I just explained to you. Where’s the fucking supports. How do you support a line horizontally that was piped using a rolling offset??!! YOU DON’T!!! MR I WAS JUST THINKING. Now I’m  short material for that other area because YOU WERE JUST FUCKING THINKING GOD DAMN IT!! 
 

I’d gladly take a pay cut to not deal with this BS and, just be an installer. 
 

Whatcha want me to do boss??  I could be that guy. No prints to stare at. No zoom meetings. No 
stress. 
 

The juice isn’t worth the squeeze most of the time.

Over: F16 

Under: F18 E/F

The F16 doesn’t suck and it’s not some POS; and, from Bloc 50 & up it is an absolute fucking Hot Rod…but, it’s a lot like an old Big Block…it’s awesome and fast...but, it requires too much damn maint hours/TLC for each hour in the air. This A/c has let me down and taken a few too many people that I really miss and are…were…true fucking heroes. Some of my angst truly belongs in the laps of people more-so than the bird itself. So, quite likely…I digress. Also, the upcoming Bloc 70/72 is FUCKING AWESOME. 

The Hornet DOES NOT have it all “head & shoulders” above the 16; but, when the shit hits the fan…you’re a helluva lot better off in the Super Hornet. The Super Hornet with its two fans is a bit better equipped for “The Shit”. The Super can fight its way into an extremely hostile theater, then blow shit up, and fight its way out…too. This is where “Top Gun Maverick” actually nails with a bit of realism in the scope of mission capability. 

I hate no aircraft; but, I do have some angst over the claimed mission capability estimates made by those that are pitching them to the Pentagon.

Yes, I’m a bag of fucking hot air.

You know I usta build 16's, but you also know Dad was a Marine pilot, so yeah, 18 makes more sense. 

It's the mission that defines the A/C, not the other way around.

That's obviously true. These are independently operated neighborhood hardware stores.

The other day I needed a 2 prong, polarized cord cap for a project I was working on. Home depot did not have it. Lowes did not have it. These stores average 100,000 sq/ft. I found it at an Ace hardware. Maybe 6000 sq/ft. Granted, they don't have lumber and garden but it's amazing what I can get there that HD and Lowes does not have. It happens all the time now. I could go on a real rant about how fucked up HD is where I live but my guess is I would be singing to the choir. They have gone down the tubes in the last 10 years.

I agree. Lord of War is one of my favorite movies. 

There is a sequel in the works, and production will begin later this year. It has the same writer and director as the first one. Assuming there are no setbacks, the release date could be at the end of next year or the beginning of 2025.

Nicolas Cage is reprising his role as Yuri Orlov, and Bill Skarsgård will play his son. 

"Lords of War” finds Orlov (Cage), the world’s most notorious gunrunner, as he discovers that he has a son, Anton (Skarsgård), who is trying to top his dad. Anton is amassing a mercenary army to fight America’s Middle East conflicts. This triggers an intergenerational bitter rivalry, one that pits father and son against each other."

Yeah that would b fun. Throw my boom box on the dash just like in my beater van. And blast the Ramones Labatomy or now I want to sniff some glue or VH. The little brats get on the bus . And I tell them sit down Waldo. A stripper that’s crashing at my pad for the week , wants to ride along chain smoken while painting her toe nails. Maybe hand out some Meds buisness cards to the milfs. Hey kid give this to your momma . If she’s interested in some after hrs entertainment. Haha
