It's not the same boy scouts we grew up with. Now they are the everyone's included scouts....and by everyone, I understand it is EVERYONE.

Money stays within our Troop, not the organization... Our charter organization, which is my church does not allow the Scouts to sell the products from BSA like popcorn, jerky etc, very conservative church and they don’t want us to fund/contribute to the BSA liberal agendas.

In that case, I'm ok with it.

...I still think Sean sucks at negotiating. :asz:

To keep with the home improvement aspect of this thread, I completed a built in entertainment center this past weekend. I can't find my ups, so just have everything running through a cheap surge protector until I find it.

There are channels to allow more airflow to the TV and enough holes that routing cables should never be an issue. The top pieces are removable, and I kind of like it better without them. It looks better now with pictures and stuff on it... pretty generic in the picture.

It is not a war crime the first time.

If I did not already have my Ego trimmer I would get the Milwaukee. Only issue is my Ego trimmer runs longer than my f-in-law's Milwaukee trimmer. It is not a big difference; just 10-15 mins.

about how long do they run? I have about 400 linear feet that require normal weed wacking then about 100' lnft of sidewalk edging

I should stop asking before I have 3k worth of "red fuel" tools in my shed and an empty rainy day bank account

I just got done downloading a weeks worth of work pics and looking at them. By far the worst looking job of the week goes to my past employer who hired me to remodel the glass in their conference room. We put the metal up a year ago and they finally made the glass and had us install it today.

The stuff they picked makes me want to either have a flash back or seizure. I have a feeling we will get paid to swap it out sooner than later. Happens all the time, but not after a years worth of debate choosing it lol They made some sort of Frankenstein from dichroic film laminated between 1/4" low iron glass but it's super hazy

in hindsight they should of used anti reflective glass
