Vents: Random Acts of Venting!

[The Troll]

  Last night the girl news reader said that they had found the woman that hit and killed the  cop.

  She when on to say the these  three Greenfield Cops were out on night bicycle training mission.

  Now one one has explained to me what three dumbass hicktown  Greenfield cops  are doing out riding on a state highway riding three abreast at midnight.  Training mission, my ass.  Trying to cover their asses.  I would like to have gave those cops a Breathalyzer  test.  They had to be drunk out of their minds. 

  You ought to see the bar the  cops own or did owned in Greenfield.  What a bar.  I for one couldn't believe it.  How do I know, I was a member of a club and we rented a room and had a meeting there and we had access to the bar.  We all remarked about the one cop who was sitting at the bar, drinking when we walked in and left at the same time we left and went to our cars, what would happen if they gave him a breathalyzer test.  I don't think he could have passed one.

I thought of you today, PH. I saw a truck w/a window sticker that said "There are no bad Pit Bulls just bad owners". It was from a "Save the American Pitt Bull" organization.

On a multi-lane highway, if you are driving in the left lane you are obligated to go faster than the vehicles in the right lane. You don't have to leave them behind in your jet stream -- but you do have to go faster than they do. If you can't do that, get your butt into the right lane and quit leading the frickin' parade!!

[Sandy Eggo]

yes, Yes, YES! Someone who gets it. Why won't people pass, then merge right?

  These over paid Teabagger candidates who want to do away with the minimum wage. Hell you can't live on $7.25 per hour now.  Clearing around $13,000 a year and these assholes slave masters want to cut your wages.  Let's get out our bibles and see what it says, what does Jesus says.  Screw thy brother and sister.  Somebody say Amen.

Face it troll, this country is on the skids and extremists will do whatever it takes to grab the reins of power and shove us over the edge of the cliff we are perched upon.

Guys like you and I are antiquated remnants of days gone by, once useful but now only serving as a point of embarrassment to the "new national order" they are trying to initiate. . .

Kill me, burn me, and cast my ashes to the four winds, and may the embers of my funeral pyre catch the breezes leading directly to your eyes, and blind you as you are trying to blind others. . .

         IS THERE NO END TO WALMART GREED.

  Walmart is ending its profit sharing with it's employees.  Replacing it with a "Retirement fund"   Where the minimum wage workers who have lasted 13 months with Walmart.  A company with a turn over of employees of over 52%.  That's 52 out of 100 of the people who Walmart hires are fired or quit.  The first year.

  Has to contribute 4% of their pay for Walmart to contribute 4%.  You don't put anything in the pot you don't get any retirement.  And Walmart get to keep all of the profit sharing they use to give to their poorly paid workers. 

  There seem to be no justice for the poor workers from the greedy capitalists Walmart.  I do not shop Walmart and have not so for many years for this reason and all of the shitty Chinese crap they sell.

  The advocacy group of WakeUpWalmart calls it cut in compensation for the Walmart workers.

Uh Troll, hate to tell you this but Wally World sells some of the same merchandise as the other stores and it all comes from the same place.  I don't do Wally World either simply because I don't like the store.

You probably don't know this Troll, but I once worked in the hydraulics field. Talking about cheap Chinese products reminded me of their hydraulic jacks. In America, hydraulics jacks are required to have what we know as a "safety factor" where a jack rated for say 2 tons can actually lift twice that amount of weight, or 4 tons, before failure. The Chinese jacks are not held to this standard and if one is rated two tons, it rarely will lift a few pounds more before the seals blow. Of course the price of a hydraulic jack is directly proportional to its rated capacity, giving the Chinese a huge advantage. Is it no wonder that the Chinese now dominate the hydraulic lift market, driving the American manufacturers out of business? Another thing, American jacks were made to take apart and be repaired, the Chinese models are all welded together so when a seal fails, the only option is throwing it away and buying a new one.

I am telling this because it gets me angry to think how our government so highly regulates the American hydraulic lifting manufacturing yet allows China to import products with no safety factor at all. At least level the playing field so the American worker has a chance to provide a well made product at competitive prices.

  Lester I got one of Chinese jacks.  What a beauty.  First time I tried it to raise one of the wheels on my 32 foot camping trailer.  Blew the seals, like you said, I can fix about anything, but I can't fix this piece of shit.

  Oh yeah, you can't say anything about Walmart without "ME" coming in and defending them.  On anything they do or sell.  What a pathetic shame.

Troll, if you run across an American made hydraulic jack at a yard sale or somewhere and it won't jack up, you can usually fix it really easy without even taking it apart. The biggest reason for failure of a old jack is someone put motor oil in it and it separated into grease. The grease won't let the check ball seat. So dump out what fluid you can, put some kerosene in it, let it soak overnight, open the valve all the way and pull the ram up and shove it down a few times. If it is real stubborn you can take out the plug on the base where the spring and ball bearing check valve is located and cycle the ram again while it sets in a pan of kerosene. Most of the time that grease will eventually come out and it will start working. There was a place in Northern Indiana that I used to get parts from, they carried parts for even the real old ones. I cannot remember their name now. I try to tell folks that there is a reason they make hydraulic jack oil and that motor oil is not the same but you can't tel a know-it-all anything.
