Was an almost perfect day here among the oaktrees. Mid 60's

Fixed a lawn tractor, generator for one neighbor. Then a honda powered power washer for another. Love honda's easy fix, carb clean, oil change. One pull start.

Smoked short ribs turned out great.

Just got a call that one of the steers where out. Sore enough sirloin was on the road going to visit the 3 bulls the neighbor just put in the field west of us. Going to let my 2 with them in the morning. Cows like friends and we ate sirloin's and he doesn't like spoiled Ribeye lol.

Today, Hoover is a division of the Techtronic Industries Company, which is based in Hong Kong.

Much of the production for Hoover vacuums has moved to countries like China, with only a few high-end models being manufactured in the United States.

This shift mirrors a broader trend in many industries, with companies outsourcing production to remain competitive.

Apparently no venue has been secured for the memorial as yet - so I'm not booking a flight till I know that it's definitely on - but will most certainly convey - what you say 🙂

The British Royal Navy up until 1812 kidnapped any and all American sailors, as often as it could, and put them into service on Navy ships. It was called Impressment and was a main cause of the war of 1812

That happened also - in Britain 🇬🇧 amongst the British public - Press-Gangs - groups of military thugs - would go out and about thru towns - villages and cities - grabbing any able/fit looking men - then pressing the King's shilling into their hands ✋️ - and then basically kidnapping them - taking them to a ship or barracks by force - for a life on the ocean waves - of forced service in the military -

I heard it said that in Europe there are 4 things to never debate, especially amongst family and close friends, to maintain good relations. My friend in Italy confirmed that the below list is true. They avoid and never discuss:

1) Politics
2) Religion
3) Football (soccer)
4) Income

I told my Italian friend that here in the US we also have things we should never debate, to maintain good relations, but the important points to avoid on our list was shorter. I told him we believe we should avoid and never discuss:

1) Politics
2) Income
3) Football (not very much)
3) Religion (not really at all)

It was interesting to see the difference between both lists, and why. I suspect, and discussed this same topic, with a member on this forum, that we both believed that Politics had replace Region as something that binds people together in society nowadays, in contrast to the times when I was growing up, and most certainly the times in my older brother's generation. Religion was much more important, and much more of a focus, in our every day life then.

It seems the worst relationship buster & offender is Politics. I try & stay clear of any part of it. But that's just me.:cautious:
