Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

“The rider was struck while heading eastbound on the 91 Freeway near the 15 Freeway.”

Wow! I read this like: “The rider was STUCK...”

I thought stuck between motorcycle and the mini van and getting dragged....

 

What could possibly go wrong?

How much? I may consider

 

Tundra BEAST Mode!

 

Not railroad track compatible.

 

Bet this guy had a rough time in middle school...

 

Drills would have had a blast with that name at basic.

 

Definitely not my kind of look -- Waste of a nice white tundra, plus bet it would not haul much firewood out of the woods! But if some like it -- so be it. Different strokes-different folks!

 

This belongs here. My snow blower.....

 

I’d say that blows...

... but it don’t blow no mo..

 

It at least started on that one rope breaking pull. Got to clear the 8 inches of snow off. But now I'll have to put that crap back together. I was pissed off and happy at the same time.

 

Hell of a feeling.

 

Kinda like getting overcharged for that Happy Ending?

 

When I was in high school I made money doing lawns with a Briggs and Stratton mower I bought at a yard sale. I learned how to take 550 cord and make a new cable because I’d end up ripping that thing off about twice a summer. It was a pain in the ass keeping that spring coiled until I could get the starter pulley back on.

I hope your effort goes better than my first attempts! I still remember the scraped knuckles...

 

My grandpa taught me how to do that. Hammer a couple of nails into a 2x4 the right distance apart, wind the spring around them, then flip it over and slide the coiled spring into place in the pull starter frame. It made the job almost easy.

 

A very important recovery gear!

 

Yup, it's still 2020...

Sea snakes may be lurking in foam covering storm-lashed Australian beaches

People are being warned to stay out of sea foam that has appeared on the beaches of northern New South Wales and Queensland in the wake of severe storms this week, with sea snakes and hazardous material hidden in it.

Storms have lashed the two states, bringing heavy rain, flooding and coastal erosion. The foam is formed by the churning of seawater with algae, salts, fats and other pollutants.

Footage has emerged this week of a dog who became lost in the foam at Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast, with people walking in the knee-deep foam searching for the animal.

hildren have also been pictured playing in the foam, while tourists have been walking along the beaches affected.

But people are being warned to stay away until it subsides.

Nathan Fife, Gold Coast Lifesaving services supervisor at Surf Lifesaving Australia, told Guardian Australia the foam was not good for people’s health.

“Health-wise it’s probably not great to let your kids play in it,” he said. “Also the marine creatures that might get in it, like sea snakes.”

According to the Marine Education Society of Australasia, there are 32 species of sea snakes found around Australia. While they are venomous, the risk of death is low.

There has been only one recorded death from sea snakes in Australian waters. But people who are bitten will need antivenom, and bites may not be apparent for up to 30 minutes.

Fife said people should also be concerned about surges of water underneath the foam which wouldn’t be visible, and could cause them to fall over or be dragged out to sea.

The foam was likely to settle down in the next few days, he said, but until then he urged people to take caution around beaches, rivers and creeks.

“There’s a lot of debris coming out – there’s been trees and things like that have washed up. I think there was half a cow that washed up at the beach yesterday, so make sure what’s in front of you – there are trees and logs floating around, so please be careful.”
