I have a hiatal hernia so its just a no go with spice. A touch here and there is enough. Among the many reasons I dont drink more than a couple beers at a time, almost always.
I got off the PPIs years ago due to the issues associated with them.

Dreaming up more ideas for the bacon yummy goodness. What do yall think of partially baking the bacon on a cookie sheet, then wrapping said frozen (great idea!) cheese and finishing baking? Just could do more at once for say a big birthday party or something.

Add serrano peppers or chile’ pequins.

Hi,

Well, you don't see many of these around anymore. Hats off to the pioneers ?.

A great friend of mine and fellow airport bum flew for them in Viet Nam (and, ahem, elsewhere). He flew everything from Twin Beeches, to C-123s, to Pilatus Turbo Porters, to Lord only knows what else. He had some great tales to tell. We loved to refer to him as "the Spook." RIP Captain Jack.

Hi,

YES those guys were the pioneers for sure. Without them the world would be a different place right now. They paved the way on how "things" operate.

Are you referring to Jack Shirley??

Too much trailer, to little truck and too little brains. The air flow around a semi is not friendly when you are pulling a big empty box behind a little truck.

I wouldnt call a 3/4 ton Ford Excursion(likely diesel) "to little truck" for that trailer. I bet that trailer dont weigh 10k lbs... likely less than 8k. This was likely aft loaded plus, as you say, wind from passing the semi, plus to fast going downhill(3 strikes against the poor guy), but the truck being to little, nah, I dont buy that one. One big way to correct this if it happens is to mash into the trailer brake controller... its a dirty way, but typically it will work. If you use the truck brakes it will usually cause it to worsen.

I saw a lawn equipment trailer that was loaded aft heavy do this, but luckily the guy got slowed down and only consequence was 4 tires broke the beads and went flat from the side loading.

No, Jack Thompson. He later went on to be a pilot for the State of Alabama, used to fly Gov George Wallace around, and his wife Lurleen when she was Gov. Some others too, as I recall.

I agree the Excursion is/was fully rated to tow that trailer. The trailer brakes and giving the engine throttle are the only way out of this. The trailer is trying to pass (go faster ) than the truck, you either need to speed the truck up or slow the trailer down. Even though they are connected they are not a single unit.
Every time I see gun laws trying to be passed, I think of a situation like this. There are just some things in life that work counter to the way you would expect them to.

Russia is “not a shithole” yeah right

I am very lucky to be American

The term kot(Russian: кот, cat) was used for a male pimp, while a female pimp was referred to as a bandersha (Russian: бандерша).

According to secret research carried out in the late 1920s, almost 60% of urban Soviet men were using the services of prostitutes.


There was also a separate category of prostitutes, the ‘intergirls’ who worked in hotels for foreign tourists and accepted payment only in foreign currencies. Women who worked in ordinary hotels and at stations often had protection from the local police, but those in the luxury hotels were under the wing of the KGB.[12]


Russia is a major source of women trafficked globally for the purpose of sexual exploitation.[18][19] Russia is also a significant destination and transit country for persons trafficked for sexual and labor exploitation from regional and neighboring countries into Russia, and on to Europe, Asia and North America. In Tel Aviv the number of brothels skyrocketed from 30 to 150 between 1996 and 2001—largely because of an influx of Russian prostitutes into Israel.[20]

Sexually active young people aren’t engaging in safe sex and antibiotic resistant gonorrhea is spreading, although how far is obscured by the failure of the government to keep records (ura.news/articles/1036271800 and ng.ru//2017-08-16/8_7052_gonorea.html).

Well so much for that mail order bride I just paid for. I hope Red Tube will give me a refund.
