Yep. It looks like I need to get HVAC EPA Certification. Does anyone here do this for a living? Is the testing hard?

How come killers in movies never use keyhole saws? It seems it'd be the most practical thing for the assorted purposes they like to do with sharp objects... and, why are they always confusing the bread knife for a butcher knife? The bread knife looks bigger than the butcher knife, but it's pretty flimsy.

Ya ever hear of the Greek Lawman Draco?
Apparently, he was the first politician to start writing down laws, whereas previously, the laws would be spoken, & it'd be assumed that everybody'd hear about it.

This got me thinking...
What if the government started passing laws that they didn't want the public to know about?
Not in the sense of making up & changing the law as it suited them, but rather, drawing up & passing a legitimate law, then keeping it secret from the public, so that certain political undesirables could go about their business unaware they were getting into trouble until well after it was too late.......... In a way, drawing dissidents into the open so as to more easily dispose of them, & anyone who may be innocently associated with them.
Feels more like a TV movie than a b movie...........

Jack is going to be 50 in a year.   Technically he could have been my father  :buggedout: :bouncegiggle:

I'm kind of liking this old age thing - I can gripe and complain about everything and it's just considered normal behavior for people in my age group  :teddyr:

They already do this. They are called "administrative regulations" and although they are published, there are so many of them that there's no practical way for a layman to discover them (do you read the 80,000 new pages per year of the Federal Register to make sure you're not breaking any of them?)

Lately, I've been thinking that the Peace Symbol is some sort of "screw you" to Diego Rivera.
Rivera had this thing about two roads. The Peace Symbol seems to offer a third road that gives the finger to the other two, yet somehow offering the option to go back up the original road that lead to the fork in the road in the first place......................

I never should've quit drinking & smoking.

So I'm babysitting my girlfriend's daughter's rabbit...

Well - this city boy had no idea that rabbits could bite.

I was thinking the whole time The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog from Monty Python was fake...

Now I have band-aids all over my hand. (MAN, THEY CAN BITE!)

Yeah, I learned in high school they bite. A fried of mine used to raise them and he asked me to hold one once. I still like rabbits but in a new way.

I was an edited for tv version of Sucker Punch.
It requires a level of brain deactivation I'm incapable of...

The Crow is a dead guy that's brought back to life to seek vengeance.  He usually does some acrobatic stuff and looks like a really tough mime. Once he avenges himself, he becomes dead again. 

Ghost Rider is a man who's has been bonded with a demon.  He seeks vengeance against everyone that's ever done wrong.  He's covered in fire, uses chains, and rides a motorcycle.  When he's not being Ghost Rider, he turns back into a normal guy.

Yeah, but they both have motorcycles, & have the power to make people suffer by making them re-experience all the bad things they ever did through the eyes of their victims, or something like that....

Why I hate the Pacific Northwest. . . it's August, and it's raining.

I miss California at times like this.
