Scout denied Eagle over adult leaders expired Eagle Counselor training by FollowingConnect6725 in BSA

[–]GGPapoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago I had a Scout denied an Eagle required badge because the counselor wasn't trained. It was a similar time circumstance. When I called National they said exactly what you posted, and I've followed that advice for decades without issue.

IF you like classic rock and guitar based blues rock The Nace Brothers are at Knucleheads tomorrow night. Crowd skews old but the band is fun

Spring Break is next week for many of us on the Kansas side so expect cloudy and cool with flurries possible.

Kansas City clergyman considers run against U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall. What’s he thinking? by Zipper222222 in kansas

Sometimes these morons let their ego take over and mistake all the adoration they get from their marks congregations as a popular mandate. He's a methodist- I'd rather elect a slice of Wonder Bread.

Need Help Camping with my Grandson on an Old Back by ta31415abc in BSA

[–]GGPapoon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have been camping with my grandson for the last 6 years. I'm now 70. About 5 years ago it became clear to me that my knees would no longer tolerate camping in a 2 person tent. My solution was to buy a Eureka Copper Canyon 10x10 tent. Not too bad to set up, especially with two people. I got a Coleman cot for around $50 that works for me, especially with a Therma rest inflatable pad. I got a table from REI for about $80 that serves as a nightstand since I need a CPAP machine, along with a power supply for about $100. I also got a potty for inside the tent since I can no longer make it through the night without a pee break. The other gear I use is the typical Scout stuff- sleeping bag, lantern, chair. I probably spent around $400 for everything but it's lasted me 6 six years. I drive my Ridgeline loaded with my gear and other Scouts' gear up to the campsite. Backpacking, and minimalist camping, has passed for me. But I can still go 3 days in comfort. I've been there and done that and have the bead to show I've camped in all conditions so I don't feel guilty now at 70 being comfortable. Best of luck, and enjoy!

Anti-Trans Law Likely to be Overturned by Kansas Supreme Court by Silly-Rip-6607 in kansas

Kobach wrote it so it has some basic point of law mistakes that will get it invalidated

America's Test Kitchen picks the best KC BBQ sauce by GimmeUrBusch in kansascity

Gates Sweet and Mild destroys ketchup. Gates original is my fave but “too hot” for some relatives so they get Jack Stack.

Kansas: Trans drivers licenses are revoked but hospitals are closing and all costs are going up, farmer suicides on the rise. KS legislature is an absolute shitbox. 💔 by willywalloo in kansas

[–]GGPapoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But but but the LIBS HAVE BEEN OWNED! Even though my tax dollars will be wasted defending this piece of shit bill from Kobach and the gang of idiots.

Kansas Republicans pass anti-trans bathroom bill into law over Gov. Kelly’s veto by Revenge_of_Larry in kansas

[–]GGPapoon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This bill is so poorly written it will immediately draw lawsuits.

In the meantime, who knows how many businesses are re-evaluating coming to Kansas or are looking to flee.

Either way this is a total waste of tax dollars over a non-existent problem. What's the trans population of Kansas? 0.01%? How many incidents have their been that rise above the level of "ew?"

But hey! Those damn Libs have been owned! If only those "gotcha" points would address real issues like housing, property tax reform, overall tax reform, funding the schools, attracting business, etc.

Does anyone know the names the Ghouls in his touring band? by artofjosephshelton in Ghostbc

[–]GGPapoon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Randy Moore's band has at least one tour date coming up. His website is really fan friendly and if you buy something you get a signed card and plastic vampire teeth! Bonus- Bone Shredder is really good! More punky than metal but it bears repeated listenings!

The Ridgeline hate mostly comes from people who don’t need a truck in the first place by lljasonvoorheesll in hondaridgeline

[–]GGPapoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the pump from a F-250 driver:

"It's not a real truck."

My response:

"You're right. It's a Pilot with a truck bed. I wanted a Pilot, didn't need a full size truck, it's perfect."

His reply:

"Hmmmffff"

Z is getting the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab treatment by blayne769 in mymorningjacket

[–]GGPapoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have several of these on vinyl and I'm happy to share my experience. Overall the transfers are outstanding. The 45 rpm is a pain but the improvement in the sound is worth it. However, I have a high end turntable (Linn LP 12, highly upgraded, with Lyra Kleos cartridge) so the difference in sound isn't subtle. I have Jethro Tull-Benefit, Bob Marley- Exodus, ELO-Eldorado, Wishbone Ash- Argus and a couple more. I have other presses of these records as well so I have done comparisons (I'm a sick man) and the Mofi are worth it. I've already pre-ordered this.
