Great stuff!

no dont think i read the taser one
How NOT to test a taser.
Last weekend at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Toni. What I came across was a
100,000-volt pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on an assailant. The idea is to allow my wife -- who would never consider a gun --adequate time to retreat to safety. WAY TOO COOL!!
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded in two triple-a batteries and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. But then I read (yes, 'read') that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs and I'd know it was working.
Awesome!!! (Actually, I have yet to explain to Toni what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave). Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-a batteries, right?!! There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh and blood moving target. I must admit
I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my! reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.
So, I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION @!@$$!%!@*!!!
I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, and body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs.
You should know, if you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser,that there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself. You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor.
SON-OF-A-... that hurt like hell!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected what little wits I had left, sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they up get there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I'm still looking for my testicles!! I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return.

FJ45 Pickup - Craigslist
After talking about D'Animal's rig in Sicily it has me looking (dreaming). I stumbled across this, I hope one day I can own a pickup like this (- the GM + Toy Diesel)... They remind me of a mini Deuce and a Half!

I was wondering if there was a large album from that trip... Thanks for the link!
I'd like to build up a pick-up and wheel the hell out of it... Don't know if it will ever happen, but it gives me something to shoot for. Heck, I'm not even done with the one I have now!
Have you heard the one about the guy that electrofied his central air unit?

YAY FOR SLEEP DEPRIVATION!
We just had a well recompleted and it doesnt want to flow for crap. friday was up till 11pm helping with a quarterly maintenance on the compressor.
saturday didnt stop working till 9 AGAIN on the compressor because one of our crack mechanics mis-adjusted the valves on half of the cylinders (who knew you had to roll an engine to get each piston to TDC before setting the valves? Not this guy.
Sunday at 2 am they decide to try and flow our new well.... Started with 3500 pounds of tubing pressure. Got it down to 40 pounds and just layed over and died. it is now 9am)
wireline worked on the well some more and at 2 pm monday lets rock and roll! Flowed till midnight 30.
Today there is no plan for me to even see my bed. There is a man on the platform(the well is on a satilite structure), I am in the control room watching the monitor seeing what it is doing. and we have no reliefs. Lead operator has got 6 hours of sleep in the last two days and is currently in bed claims to have problems getting his eyes to focus on the screen any more.
Cabelas called me on friday to tell me my Mossin Nagant I got a raincheck on has arrived and they are holding it for 5 days, after that it will be sold. Tomorrow is the 5th day and I will have to drive to Gonzalas to Cabelas on 4 hours sleep from two nights ago to pick up my gun.
I love my job. Like the overtime even better though. My overtime from this week should pay for atleast 1/4 of the fuel to tow the 4runner to moab.... Talk to yall later. Looks like we have an iceplug forming again...

Rig up a pump in sub on slick lines lubricator, tighten down on the Bowen pack off, inject glycol call it a night. Yea

Thats a service hand for you plug it, go to sleep, and charge the overtime.
Sounds almost like a state worker
Don't know if anyone is interested but some guys from the LA4X4 forum are hosting a M&G of sorts next weekend in Hammond. Any and all clubs are invited to set up a table / tent at this event to promote their club and sell club merchandise. It will also be a swap meet so you are invited to bring all the spare parts you want to get rid of to sell / buy / barter / trade. I will probably be going as the Northshore 4X4 group will be there. Thought it might be a good place to promote the BSLCA also. Any body else want to join me out there to represent?
Thanks Deryl.
Here's a link to LA4X4: April 2 Multi-Club Meet & Greet
It would be
if we could have some Yota's out there to represent the BSLCA.
