At a remembrance service at the hospice where my mother in law passed away this was read out, which I feel in important to remember (I have even told my wife I want this read at my funereal, hopefully many many years from now):

The Dash Poem (By Linda Ellis)

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on the tombstone
From the beginning...to the end

He noted that first came the date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years

For that dash represents all the time
That they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them
Know what that little line is worth

For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars...the house...the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.

So, think about this long and hard.
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering this special dash
Might only last a little while

So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life's actions to rehash...
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent YOUR dash?

Good will and best wishes to all (even the arseholes on this forum :) ).
 
Oh great Hive mind. I seek an answer to a question. Dost though know what yon photographed car is called?
My Google Foo is lacking the answer.

I'll start. I am never getting blackout drunk and falling asleep on the couch at @Dirty D 's dubba wide again. I woke up feeling like 30 miles of bad road, sammiched between two of his three hundys, covered in Crisco and feathers. Strangers still walk up to me at the grocery store saying that video was epic.

I gave the donkey his half of the royalties from the video, do you want payment in dollars this time or Bud Light (again)?
 
@168BTHPM, please tell me that is your kitchen center work counter. If I show that to the Mrs. I will have to take out our new kitchen that took 2 years to complete and re do it again!

That's not mine, a friend sent me that picture. If you want to do one of those it's about $10K, or you could buy the massive 3D printer and start making them for other people. I think one of Mt. Rushmore or a western saloon would be cool for a bar.
 
35-10 became 36-2903.
Who the fuck thought that shit up?

Dude, I still remember a lot of part numbers NSNs TO, figure and index, specific tasks within job guides and pretty much all of my system, sub-system, Subject numbers.
Don't get me started on CITS maintenance codes and fault codes.


However, I'll forget three out of five items at the grocery store....😆
Please stop...
Giving me PTSD flashbacks reading that shit.
