Keystone State Thread

I wonder if the officers knew just who they were going up against .

Brings back Memories of another life it seems.

 

I imagine they had to keep that part a secret haha.
"So, we are doing a simulation. You're going to approach this shady individual as you would if you saw something suspicious on the street. Oh, and by the way, this individual is a living martial arts legend!"

 

Guru Dan!

I went food shopping today for us and my folks. I went to 4 different stores.

Wal Mart: a disaster area. I was there a week ago and it seemed fairly well stocked, but today it was a wasteland. Nevertheless the parking lot and the store itself was pretty full. What really got me though was the number of ENTIRE FAMILIES I saw in the place, all wandering around and yammering on their phones and handling stuff and generally being pretty amazingly stupid. Mark my words -- Reading PA is going to become a COVID-19 hot spot.

Redner's: fairly well stocked, civilized, not too many people, not one multi-member family in sight. Plenty of couples though. The meat section was pretty sparse.

King's (Weis): also fairly well stocked, and the only one of the 3 that had any ground meats. I have no idea why that is. They even had yeast which apparently has become a hot item. Serious social distancing, almost all single individuals. They have someone at the entrance wiping down carts for the customers.

All 3 had toilet paper, although none had much of it.

The 4th store was a little mom/pop bakery that had just reopened. They were limiting the number of people in the place at one time and there was a line waiting to get in. It was great to see them reopened and doing a good business. It can be done!

 

Hopefully you’re good and everything turns out good!

 

Then you have people getting all bent out of shape .

When a knife wielding suspect is shot "Well they only had a knife "

 

Yeah, especially if race is involved. Sorry cop... just get stabbed, its just easier than all the paperwork and bad publicity. Besides, guns are evil and the cause of all problems. If there weren't guns then there'd be no violence in our society, right? What's a knife?

Oh wait, then we'd need knife control laws.

But wait, with no knives... then we'd need blunt object control laws.

Oh gosh... where does it end. I know where it ends, but am not going to open up a religious conversation and get banned.

 

Finally getting around to doing something with my Mobtown skids. They came raw steel and pretty oily/greasy from fabrication. Any recommendations on what to use to clean them up with before I rattlecan them?

 

acetone or Brakleen

 

@TwistedTLM4 @TinyTech626 check your PM

 

Heres a chance of topics. This is the second time this week I've seen it. Today I caught it on camera.

 

Cooper's Hawk, or a Sharp Shinned Hawk. Hard to tell without a point of reference. I'm guessing the 1st.

 

Based on size I'm going with Cooper's, I've got a message out to someone who can confirm, just waiting for a reply.

 

I'm hoping I see him/her a few more times to get a better quality photograph instead of through my windshield. I think it's sticking around possibly, three days in a row soo...

 

I asked a friend of mine who is a birder

Update: she basically quoted @testelle

 

Thank you!
