Tim Allen was back in Michigan last week
Long watch and listen, but worth the time IMO. No politics.

I've always thought he was a pretty good dude. If you listen to any in depth interview, he has some life experience and opinions some will not agree with. But, he's his own dude, and I respect that in his profession.

I think he's drunk or something on the A&E show... Doesn't sound as clearheaded as this...

How is your cousin doing? It's been a while since I've seen your cousin. I've been meaning to call.

At least one of you is aware you're a dipshit.

Nothing you're saying right now makes sense, but I am happy that it is amusing you and bringing joy to your life.

If you apologize for not giving a damn about a guy with a former TV series on hallmark who was in Michigan a while back, we’ll let you off with time served. Put your kid gloves on next time please.

As a general rule, I’d rather pull out a small piece of brain through my nose than watch a graduation speech. Feel free to summarize why you think people should take the time m but asking people to waste 20 minutes on a graduation speech isn’t realistic pantry

I’d decided to waste my time and read the mlive article on it.
Apparently he quoted Buzz light year.

Where else was this posted? I’d really like to know so we can all make fun of a Kingston. Not that we need a reason.

At least we found a Tim Allen story that’s less funny than any of his sitcoms.

Re: Tim Allen was back in Michigan last week
Nice try, kingston.
NORTHPORT, MI – A diesel spill from a Michigan celebrity’s yacht closed a NOT UP NORTH marina and adjacent beach during the recent holiday weekend.
Authorities confirmed between 30 and 50 gallons of diesel fuel spilled into the water in Northport’s marina because of a faulty fuel filter seal on a yacht owned by Tim Allen. The famous Michigander is known for voicing the Buzz Lightyear character in the Disney-Pixar Toy Story film franchise and lending his celebrity voice to the Pure Michigan advertising campaign.
Northport’s marina was closed for about 12 hours after the diesel spill Sunday afternoon, while a nearby beach was closed for a day. Both are now re-opened.
Officials said the spill was reported around 5 p.m. Sunday when Allen’s boat entered the marina.
“He didn’t know what was happening until he pulled into the marina,” said Hugh Cook, Leelanau Township fire chief.
“He himself pulled the fuse on the bilge pump so it wouldn’t eject any more fuel. So, he did a lot of things right himself.”
Officials confirmed the faulty fuel filter seal on the yacht allowed the engine compartment to fill with diesel until the bilge pump kicked on. That’s when diesel began to gush out into Lake Michigan.
Allen told reporters on Sunday that the fuel filter gasket popped out when he rounded the corner of Omena Bay – which is between Suttons Bay and Northport along the Grand Traverse Bay shoreline of the Leelanau Peninsula – and he did not know fuel was leaking until it was pointed out to him.
“I felt very uncomfortable closing the harbor down for everybody,” Allen said.
Northport Harbormaster Bill Rosemurgy said dockhands at the marina were quick to act: They notified those onboard of the leaking fuel and surrounded the vessel with an oil-absorbing boom.
“It was it was fairly well-contained within the marina,” Rosemurgy said. “The wind was helpful. It was blowing into the mouth of the marina, so that helped to contain it. But there was a heavy sheen throughout the entire harbor.”
Emergency responders used about 1,000 absorbent pads to soak up as much of the petrochemicals as possible, and a Mackinaw City-based environmental cleanup crew spent Monday and Tuesday morning on site.
Officials with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy said Allen will be financially responsible for the costs of the cleanup and confirmed he had hired the environmental response crew. Both state and federal officials said no fines are going to be issued because the spill was small, accidental, and caused by a mechanical problem; Coast Guard officials issued a letter of warning.
The fire chief said some ducklings and a few fish died in the marina because of the diesel spill, but wider negative impacts on wildlife are not expected. Any remaining fuel should dissipate under sunlight, he said.
“There’s going to be probably a slight sheen on the water for the next few days yet, but nothing damaging or anything,” Cook said.

Pinochle reneging gets far more intense than Eucher or Up North reneging.
