What to know about Homeland Security shutdown starting this weekend
Another shutdown for parts of the federal government is expected this weekend. Funding for the Department of Homeland Security is set to expire Saturday as lawmakers debate new restrictions on President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda. The White House has been negotiating with the Democrats, but the two sides failed to reach a deal by the deadline. Unlike the record 43-day shutdown last fall, the closures will be narrowly confined, as only agencies that are part of Homeland Secu…

The RetroTINK is now hooked up into the SCART switch along with the capture card on the computer.

"No ice is safe ice" is the mantra of those who work and engage in recreational activities on lake ice. This event overwhelmed the news of many other ice rescues that had to be done on the weekend across the Great Lakes basin. After a week period of *extremely warm temperatures where everything was clearly melting, it doesn't matter if you drive 2 hrs to get there. Many first responders had to risk themselves to save these people. Stay off the ice!

Sadly couldn't join myself (wife wasn't feeling good and wanted me to stay home and help parent while she napped) but my SAR team participated in a great inter-agency training this past weekend.
