Grow a pair. The only reason this would be on the table is if Iran is close to Nuclear capability with bombs.

Trump is great for land drilling and production. Good for offshore oil & gas for about a year or two.. after that, not so much.

We manufacturer valves for deepwater oil & gas drilling and production. Most of our industry knows the long term negative effect on oil prices with Trump. He still carried the oil & gas vote in excess of 80%. What’s best for the US doesn’t necessarily mean it is best for our industry 2, 3, or 4 years down the road.

In the grand scheme of things most of us get what he is doing and fully support him. If Oil & Gas feels a bit of the sting down the road… so be it. Kids and grandkids will benefit.

I’ll see your javelin and raise you with a Tomahawk.

Cannot imagine the pain you and your family have been going through.
She’s amazing for sure. Can’t tell if I am watching her or Michael Jordan most of the time.
Speed cans are readily available all over. Just order some online. Have 8 of them. No safety cap bullshite. 16” or so of flex tubing through the large cap fitting and a vent to open on handle.

I was playing Golf at Cruden Bay not far from Aberdeen with my cousin on a windy rainy day. One of the holes tees off onto a fairway below and I hit a good shot to the left side of the fairway but wind took it to the right into an area they were doing some kind of drainage work in. Went down and there was a straight sided ditch they had just cut with an excavator about 2 feet deep and it angled along the fairway. I figure it went into the little ditch. Something caught my eye about halfway down the side wall and it looked like a ball embedded in the dirt/mud. Just walked on by but decided to go back and make sure it wasn't mine. Dropped down and pulled it out. Knew immediately it wasn't mine because it had a few rings and a mesh pattern around it.. Long story short it was one of the original first rubber golf balls ever made. It was clearly marked Ocobo 27. Did some research and apparently they were made around 1890.

I still have it.
dstone12. Request to move this to the Poli board. Flathead mouth breathers like first poster to reply don't understand what you are talking about... thus fein to be somehow offended as if they were forced to click on your thread. :cheers:
Agree. He has stepped up big time. My expectations for him were pretty low and he has really surprised me.
Could have done this 15+ years ago... not today. No longer a viable option.
UK just loaned $2.6 billion Euros... That ought to do it. They gonna win now. :lol:


That won't last until next Friday.
I really don't see the point anymore. Why do we have 30,000+ military personnel and spend on all that money in Germany? They don't need our protection and we don't need to be there. I get the forward deployment side of this but we can manage without it. Especially if we aren't taking the lead role in every global conflict.

Take it all out along with our considerable spending in Germany. Pointless and costly. IF they have money to support Ukraine, then they have money to defend themselves and help other countries in Europe.

It's long past time. The events of the past few weeks, the comments from Germany, the comments from NATO, etc... all add up to lets get the frick out and let all of the EU/NATO free loaders take the lead in Europe both financially and militarily.

At least that's that what it says to me.
