No one here uses ropes to fasten loads anymore.

New resume has been created. Rideshare stuff has been hammed up. Case manager stuff sounds very clinical as though I were writing a note for it.
I also sure I need to put in $30 more into bitcoins so I can squeak out even without a significant surge in price.
And I need to make some money for my ticket. And insurance. And bills.
I was VERY wrong that this being an election year was sure to mean we'd get another stimulus package.

I think I may have a fever tonight and I don't feel sick, so not sure what's up with that. Perhaps I had too much junk food today.

I am gambling on the Lord's Day/Christian Sabbath. And loving that I live in sin.
I lost two dollars to a miracle river that completed the other's flush that beat my A-trips (we both went all in on the river).
Tied a 6 dollar pot because some other wanker was also dealt KJ and had the same full house with the same kicker. JJ77 and whatever else on the board. I knew that bunghole had a full house, but could hold the 7, or even if a J the kicker odds are in my favor. Nope.
And I do need to perhaps see if fearlessly standing against what I am very certain is a failed flush draw is as good of an idea as I think it is. Odds are in my favor, and there's been plenty of times I've drained someone's chips as they chase their flushed pony, but there's also been a lot a times doing that has bit me on the ***. Because when I say fearlessly, I put 8% of my bankroll on the line it wasn't going to happen. But it did.

That douche bag who used my mom's email for his Hulu account finally got his card to quit accepting the charge for it. And before I got through with Venture Brothers.
Ropes & knots won't get the force needed to secure
multi-ton loads on Mr Trailer. Also, cops expect to see
rated straps or chains meeting certain standards.
If one does something unexpected, this gets their
attention....not in a good way.
Tis always good to keep Johnny Law happy.
Btw, I still use fisherman's, square, & bowline knots
for things other than load fastening.
Lazy, thats all i can say, lazy
I am indeed lazy.
But ratchet straps are simply much much better.
See post # 62749.'
Btw, I do have difficulty remembering seldom used knots.

Who?
I think dollies seem so much quicker. Watching truckers fasten their loads, a dollie is done in seconds, a ratchet strap considerably longer. Same with removing the ropes. One tug and they are loose.

Set yourself up for disappointment and you usually won't be disappointed with the results.
Don Knotts in the role of the heroic Barney Fife.
I'm paranoid about insecure loads.
Ratchet straps apply more force.
I take my time using them...taking hours to properly
secure my scrap iron treasures.....proper routing to
avoid damaging parts....padding to avoid cutting straps
....attaching anchors for optimum routing....securing
potentially loose parts....inspecting & re-inspecting.
Otherwise it would be dangerous to the loads & to my
fellow travelers on the open road.

Last night I learned to video edit pretty well. They make the programs so easy now, I swear there's nothing to it anymore.
I'm a caring sensitive new age kinda guy.
