I had to take a PE class in college. I picked bowling because it was at a local bowling alley, I got pretty good. I used to bowl in the 190s after a semester, but the main reason I took it was because it was across town and I could stop at the likker store on the way and down a pint of Crown in the car and smoke a doobie on the way, lol.

Funny - my buddy in college took bowling just to fill credits. After his class we'd hitchhike over the Mississippi to IL where there was a beer bar just on the other side. Waiting for us Missouri 19 year olds.
(IL was legal at 19, MO at 21)

Happy Birthday Gary.

Finally got the blower motor replaced in the explorer. Got up to 30 degrees so I thought I'd give it a shot. Wasn't too bad. So excited to not have to open the hood and whack the darn thing with my snow brush.

what becomes of peoples stuff when they die ? ..an old friend of mine died a year and a half ago and his house still sits empty .. his car still sits in the drive .. his porch lite and kitchen lite are still always on ..i know he had a daughter .. another lady friend of mine passed away around christmas last year .. her house sits empty .. her car in the drive as well .. her porch lite always on .. she had two adult kids ..is it because maybe they did`nt have a will ? .. i dont have one either ..

Perhaps the Estate has been processed (assets transferred to descendants) but they are too busy in their lives to deal with it just yet. Maybe they live out of State.

A Will goes through Probate which can take some time. Especially if there are debt$. Plus have to pay for attorney'$ and Judges. If there is no Will, then it goes through a long process with the State (each State is different). Attorney'$ and Judges.

A Revocable Living Trust is much better than a Will. Only a bit more complex, some fees up front, but so much easier for any descendants after death. Attorney's are minimal (if at all), no Probate or Judges are needed.

Even without descendants, why not direct it goes to charity rather than allow the State to have it (confiscate it)? IMO

Cool! They just announced today that Sentry Eagle Training Excercise will return to the OANG Base near me this summer after it was skipped for a few years.

.

.

The training exercise part of Sentry Eagle will involve other jet fighter wings visiting the area and conducting training flights with Kingsley’s 173rd Fighter Wing and their F-15Cs.

Kingsley Field remains the only U.S. training base for F-15Cs, both at home and abroad.

Shirar said some F-16s out of Tuscon, Arizona, are on the docket, and attendance by more units is still being worked out. The visiting planes should arrive the week before the Saturday of the open house, with major training flights kicking off that Wednesday.

“The exercise itself is an excellent opportunity for our pilots and students to train against different types of aircraft,” Shirar noted.

New to the event this year are the numerous active duty U.S. Air Force personnel that joined Kingsley Field’s operations and training mission. Shirar said the active duty personnel will great the same training benefits from Sentry Eagle as the Air National Guard members.

“This will give them a chance to see how we in the Guard do it,” she added.

>>
The 173rd Fighter Wing will be conducting night flying operations out of Kingsley Field this Monday and Tuesday.
According to a release, the night flights should start at approximately 7 p.m. and conclude by 10 p.m. Most of the actual training will take place in military operating airspace east of Lakeview.
The biggest impact on the community is expected to be the sound of F-15 fighter jets taking off and landing at Kingsley.
“With that in mind, we want to ensure the community understands why we have to perform F-15 training operations outside of our normal flying window. As the sole F-15 training unit for the United States Air Force, it is imperative that our student pilots leave Kingsley Field prepared to effectively employ the F-15, day or night.”

Who needs a will? Anyone who has anything and who has anyone to leave it to. It is also important to have a valid Power of Attorney in place, as well as a health care directive and/or a Living Will. If you give half a tinker's d**n about how your affairs (bequests, debts, funeral arrangements) are handled after you've died or become incapacitated, it behooves you to get these things worked out while you are able to make the calls. Otherwise, it's a major SNAFU for your heirs/descendants, and a windfall for lawyers and the government, who will be standing ready to get a big slab of the pie.

I'm guessing here, but it might be the longer sunlight hours as we approach vernal equinox. For example, the longer days trigger mares into their cycle.
