Art of the deal. You want the moon, so you ask for the stars. When the other side says "The moon or nothing", you get what you wanted and they feel like they got over on you.
Vernon, I have seen a couple of people ask, without reply. Is ATL still around, or did something happen to him? He always was a good poster (if a little long winded). Hope he is ok.
Serious answer. I come here every day to read what Gunny posts to find out what is happening in our government. He does the research that I don't want to do. I really appreciate everything he does for this board.
I used to work in a factory that made speedometer cables. I can tell you that there are no more "analog" gauges. They all use an electronic pick-up wire from the transmission. So the analog gauges are all an illusion.
Retire when you can. I retired a little early. Wasn't sure about it because I enjoyed my job. Took about a year to get used to having very few places to be at a certain time, but I'm all into it now. Also, it's a lot easier to day drink. LOL
