I sure don't see it as racist, but living near Baltimore where the Freddie Gray death took place while he was in a police vehicle, I am aware that it is thought to be so by some people.
It would be easier to turn a blind eye to everything, but both of my shitlings decided to give me even more gray hair. . . . they're both cops.Yet another step in villainizing law enforcement. I best leave it at that. I am so glad I retired from it.
Thanks!It was a chore to limit my rant. Try as I might, everything that kept coming out was inflammatory, and slightly political, so. . . .
Every one has bad apples, but very few organizations are as aggressive about weeding them out as law enforcement is. I know, because of the position I was in, I participated in gathering evidence to get rid of them, and if it was a criminal act, put them in jail.I am biased towards LE. (duh) And, there are bad apples. But, to label all LE for our bad apples, is just as bad as labeling everybody else for their bad apples.
People are different. Even all of us. We ride the same bike(s), but we're from all corners of the globe. But, we're intelligent enough, for the most part, to respect each others opinions. If a person is too "different". . . . well, that's their business.. . . ."People. They are all so different. Hmmm". . . .
I feel your pain. After 14 years, the original AC system had to replaced. Since I decided to change brands, the heating portion needed to be replaced/matched to the AC. They came out, did the install, and everything was good. The following summer, I woke up to a small flood around the HVAC closet. (mine's not in the attic) I tracked the flooding cause to a clogged AC drain. There's another PVC pipe beside the drain. There's a float switch in it, that supposed to shut off the compressor when the water gets too high, and prevent the flooding issue. I had noticed that they had installed a "P-trap" into the drain. (the previous system was a straight shot outside; never had a flood or had to add anything to the pan or drain) As you already know, the p-trap allows the water to sit in there and make algae/sludge. Worse still, they had glued a cap on the vent; yours is open at the top.
HATE TO HEAR YOU RUFFIN IT SO BAD.First world problem rant:
My buddy has a hookup with a restaurant meat supply guy.....been getting all kinds of good stuff in this crazy time in the world since the restaurants aren't using quite as much. I got a giant frozen pack of tri-tip, 12 pounds in total. Since they were frozen together in a large pack, I had to defrost them to get them apart and didn't think refreezing them was a good idea. What a difficult time it was seasoning, smoking and attempting to eat all of that tri-tip over these last several days.
But, that's the struggle I had to deal with. Rant off.
ARGHHHH.First world problem rant:

Yes, likely same or similar guy. I got a bunch of those giant tomahawk steaks for an amazing deal. I'm trying to get some prime rib before the restaurants open up again.ARGHHHH.
The guy doing this (or another doing the same), is a reserve for the place I worked at before I retired. He has been offering the meat at cost for all the retirees, but will not send it to Tennessee from California. The restaurants he supplies are the like of Ruth Chris steakhouse...etc
