@Dirty D - where was that pic taken?

Cool shot.
" A 45-foot Response Boat-Medium from Coast Guard Station Seattle and an MH-65 dolphin helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Port Angeles conduct hoisting training on Jan. 25, 2016, near Elliott Bay, Wash. Crews from both units conduct weekly training to ensure they remain proficient at hoisting and medical evacuations. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Logan Kellogg."

I snaked it from the USCG Photography FB page.
 
I got to deny a few for an intentional act.
I have also denied a few for intentional acts. It's always fun to have those conversations when they are in the county lock up for what they did. It goes something like, "We are denying your claim due to policy language that excludes coverage for intentional acts. We have determined based on physical evidence, witness statements, and police reports your acts were willful and deliberate. We will not be extending coverage for legal defense or liability coverage for personal injury or property damage. Expect the damaged party(ies) to pursue legal action both criminal and civil against you. BTW what flavor personal lube do you prefer?"
 
I did the same thing when I was invited to my wifes first OBGYN appointment while pregnant with our first child 31 years ago. No digital scale then only the balance beam kind. She almost started to cry when they had to move the 25 pound weight to the next higher notch. I was never invited back for another appointment, except for the cool ultrasound screenings.

I plainly remember my FIRST visit to the wifes OBGYN.
I was fresh out of the Corp and was parking the car so I ended up coming in while the Doctor was looking at her whohaw.

The very first thing the doctor said to me was "Are We Cool" I said wtf would you say that?
Dude buzzed out scared shitless of me, now we go shooting and tell jokes about stupid shit

Damn I don't miss that job!
 
I used to replace my ring compressor every couple of years. After most cars became fuel injected I didn't need to do that again.
Professional mech here. Old days, build an engine. Start it, set the time, set the dwell, fart with the carb for a half an hour. Shut it down, wait a day, set the choke. Fuel injection days, build an engine. Start it, drive it around the block a few times, ship it.
 
Damn I don't miss that job!
I don't miss most of it, however working SIU was fun, when working litigation it was fun to fuck with plaintiff attorneys, and working on the internal audit team was fun. The people I worked with were the best but the management sucked moose cock by the herd. Now I am on the other side of the fence fucking with them.
 
Friends have a cabin at Lake Tahoe. He installed a cattle electric fence around deck, doors and window frames after the 3rd bear break in.

neighbors called the cops on him. Cops accused him of setting a booby trap
Fire department then said they would not respond.
It took him a while to educate them about electric fences.
evidently they are now common around Tahoe. Electric door knobs and frames.

The bears love the food in the homes
 
True story. We were at a stop light where there were two left turn lanes to get on the highway.
We pulled up and theu Guy next to us was in a Porsche and thought he was hot shit, revving the fuck out it.
Light turns green, he hammers down, loses control of the car and into the ditch, which happens to be an embankment similar to what's in the picture.
Best thing I've ever seen!

So is the time of Covid we’ve seen a bunch of people driving like maniacs around here because typically there’s so much traffic you can’t get from point a to point B without literally being in stop and go traffic.

I never realized it was just so much having all that traffic afforded a certain amount of safety and that people couldn’t do high speeds that would cause almost certain crashes.

so being essential worker I have to go to work and I usually leave around 4AM in the morning to get to work by 5 AM. On the way home,for about the first two weeks, I kept seeing police officers at this one offramp to the highway. specifically, they would be hanging out near this one turn to get onto another highway and they will always be a tow truck there but I would never see anything else.

it turns out they were going so fast around this corner that they would lose control and jerk the steering wheel back in the other direction, which would then put them down and embankment into the woods which is completely covered by vines and trees so you couldn’t see their cars. Poof, they were just vanish…

It happened about five times that I’m aware of and they were probably more because they were all racing down the highway and they had never hit that offramp without any traffic to stop them from being crazy
