I'll have a cup of Bailey's with a splash of Coffee to warm it up. ;D
My dad started working at LaBarron foundry when he was 16. For a brief time in the 80's he worked for a different company, but came back to LaBarron after only 5 years or so. The business was strong and sold man hole covers and catch basins all over the US of A. Enter the son. He did not want to run the business as his dad did. He chose to run it into the ground. My father was informed yesterday that what is left of the company has been sold and LaBarron Foundry will no longer exist on Oct. 31st. This info come to him on the same day that my parents put their house up for sale. They've been planning for months to move to TN. So now my prayer is that God will provide a buyer in the next 30 days and my folks can move before $$ gets tight. It's gonna be sad seeing the old homestead go, but it fiscally impossible for me to buy it at this time. Oh yeah, me wife don't want it and I've grown kind of attached to her so living in seperate homes is not an option. ;D
Thanks fer the Coffee
50 here this fine morning, just starting to get light, Dale, my cousin is over in the woods watching for that first deer to come wandering along. guess we'll see here in a coupla hours if we're gonna have meat with our taters tonight. ;D
Stoney, even if you don't ever own the old home place, I'm sure you got some good memories of it that will stay with you the rest of your life. over where I grew up, is nothing but sod farms now, nothing looks like it used to, but when I sit back and think I can always remember the way it was when I was a kid and out running all the fields and woods.
it's a whole lot better sometimes just to be able to remember how it was.
TLD, hope ya have a good trip and get to enjoy all the company & food your gonna have ;D
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Tom. I'll be needing it today. Up too late and too early.

I'm gonna stay over an extra day to visit the Fort Western Store in Lincoln. This is my vacation and I'm not on a schedule anymore. I'm gonna have fun and enjoy myself, I think I've earned it.
Congrats, pard. Have fun and be safe. I sure wish I was going also.

Rainin in Downtown Norfolk right now Cuzzin.
How's 'bout givin' it directions ta duh beach? Straight east down I264'd be fine.
Security and perimeter checks have been done here, MSgt Killer reports, all is well!
The past few weeks are warin' on me. I need to get some time to get a roof put over the "Cave" and hit the range.
The Coffee is mighty good.....Thank you LIT....Y'll be safe today.
Tex, I would like to know what you think of the Rock Island.....When you meet up with Del's Roach coach cook wagon decline on drinking from his bottle. ;D
Mornin' Fellas,
Thanks for the Coffee LIT.
Have fun TLD!
Today my other half and I celebrate our 20th Anniversary. ;D

Miss Scarlett, congratulations to you and your other half,
63 now, a little north breeze, keeps the humidity down, feels good
guess we'll go down and see if we can set up another house of rings.
Mornin' thanks for the coffee, Tom.
Mornin' pards. Sunny this morning. I have to do a few errands later. I'll probably do it on my bike.
Well, It's retiremnt Day 1 and I'm gettin' ready to leave for Neb. I'm takin' my LapTop with and I plan on checkin' in tonight at the motel. LR, I've shot a 1911 a lot, not lately. It seems to be well made and I'm gonna shoot Wild Bunch with it. I'll let you know how it shoots.

Middle sister and BIL moved there 2 years ago. Big sister and my parents fell in love with it when they visited and both had plans to relocate. Mom and Dad have been gettin' the house ready for sale for the last several weeks. I'm convinced it will only be a matter of time before baby sister joins them.
I'm looking at Ringold GA in approx 10 or 12 years, but lets face it, plans that go much beyond this weekend are subject to change without notice.
Hey All.
First off, congrats Scarlet! The Man would be a fool ta let ya go an apparently he knows it.
Tex, I wish I was goin too. Del's food looks somethin good. I hope your recent affliction won't set ya back any on yer vacation. If ya get close ta him, have him give me a call, it'd be nice ta hear yer voice :D
Stoney, Tenn is a beautiful state. I can see the draw ta move on there. When I was a kid, we moved every two years or so cause of my Dad's job so I couldn't know how it must feel to see "the homestead" be sold. We'll pray that a buyer comes along.
I'm on the Major's plan taday ;D Prolly just go an wrench on ma buddy's old truck (in other words BS and drink beer ;) )
well we got the rings made so we're ready to start letting the equipment down to the ground, you can usually finish up in a day from this point or if ya got time just take a coupla hours fer a coupla days.
Tex, sounds like yer ready to have a good time. ;D

I;m here, at work, trailer is packed except the groceries. Headin' out about 9 am in the mornin'.
TLD, I forgot about a hat I had that might be just up yer alley, and in the price range. I have a Rand, 8X (80% Beaver) 7 5/8 black open crown, marked down to $199, but I'm gonna see what I can do on a bit more. Got a couple more already shaped one's yer size, 'bout what you want. See ya tommorow sometime.

Happy ta hear, Angel. Wishin' y'all much happiness 'n many more.
Pete, it'll all werk out.
Hope Tex has a good time. Guess he's already gone. Del, you too.
Chicken fried rice 'n a cold one fer supper. Blood pressure pill fer desert.

Cool Digs, Del. I like that place.
Great recipe, OT, Thanks. I'll see about conning someone into making some. ;D
Thanks for the Congrats Fellas,
Wicked Wayze took me out for an early supper...steak, potato, green beans...desert to go.
OT that recipe looks good, gonna have to try it (since I am the only one round here that is conned bakes stuff other than chocolate chip cookies.
Del that looks like good sleepin' arrangements. Specially if there is any chance of rain on your trips.

How far are you from here? ;D
Actually, I do most of the cooking around here. It seems that I like to eat more than anyone else except for the dogs. Food is their favorite dish. I'm a little more discerning than that. ;)
My wife, however makes some killer evil sweet things that she gleaned from her scandanavian upbringing. Unpronouncable things but the names don't matter since it all involves sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, butter, etc.
Good "real early mornin' ". 0010hrs here. Night shift checkin' in.
Best wishes to you and your other half, Miz Scarlet. It's a true milestone. We'll be going double that plus four in bit over a week.
TLD, have a good trip. I was thinkin' that we'll have to callyou something else, other than "Lawdog" now; "Tex", or "Dog", :o ; oh, I know, "once a Lawdog, always a Lawdog". Just pokin' at ya'. TLD works well.
Around here, these days, I am the chief cook and bottle washer, even though we are both retired. I figure that the "Boss" held the fort for over thirty years, so I can take some of the heat off her now. We actually share pretty well.
Well, my eyes are feeling a bit heavy and bleary, so I think I'll wander off to the sack.
Later.
CAWFEE IS UP. GIT UP! YER BURNING DAYLIGHT.
Congrats on the anniversary Scarlet.
What are we gonna do with the place now that dell is gone? ;D
Last night we had some pork chops. I decided I needed to make me a rub and pulled some stuff that looked good outta the cupboard and went to werk. I only put the rub on mine cuz I didn't want to ruin one of the ladies meals if'n I screwed it up. Well there ain't no pictures cuz I couldn't eat it fast enough. DELICIOUS. :o ;D Family was glad I did not do theirs as I like pepper more than most.
Mornin' girls! ;D

Gotta run, ya all have a good 'un.

Happy B'day, bro. Love ya. Many healthy 'n happy more!
Eatin' late. Already cut me up 'maters, cucumber, banana peppers, pepperconi (whatever), 'n a couple slices jalapeno. All drownin' in Ranch 'n keepin' cold in the ice box.
Cookin' a pizza I picked up while I was out. Pepperoni, sausage, green 'n yellow pepper, black olives 'n onion.
Didn't want her in the kitchen after she got home late. All she'll have to do is pick the olives off 'n me the onions then throw them at one 'nother.

Tensleep, sounds like ya had a good birthday, doing what ya like. ;D
Mornin', y'all.
51/86%. It's real prudy 'n not a cloud in the sky. Hope it holds thru tomorry. Wanna play rootin', tootin' cowboy. Make BOOM, fire, smoke 'n STINK with gen-U-wine powder.
Pizza was darned good yesterevenin'. Was expectin' onion rings. Out the wrapper I saw they was chopped 'n all over the thing. Thought I'd really screwed up. But like any other o'erbearin', obnoxious bully they melted away in a l'il heat. N'er smelt or tasted 'em.
Glad ta hear things went well, Leo. I knew they would.
Time fer more coffee 'n ta get ta werk. Things ta do.

I was thinking of taking this one in, but I need to see how much $$ is in the play budget. I'm going to a car shoot tomorrow and 7.62 Nato, 5.56 Nato and .30-06 is getting expensive. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
I received some sad news yesterday. My coworker and friend Mike Downing voluteered to rejoin the Army with overseas deployment in mind. On Thursday 9/25, in Afganistan, he and his partner were hit by an IED. His partner was killed and Mike lost both legs and possibly an arm. He is at Mercy Hospital stateside and they're attempting to save the dammaged arm. Today I hope HR will release contact info as I've not spoken to Mike since he deployed.
I read about the sacrifice made by out boys, but this on hits close to home.
prayers up for your friend Stoney, and for all the Soliders away from home and in harms way.
as for the Ammo, it is high and the calibers yer talking about seem to have got in shorter supply too. since I bought my M1A, I've started to notice the 7.62 prices. I did luck into some ammo, my cousin, that comes to visit from Oklahoma had a pawn shop for a few years and when I asked him about 7.62, he said he had about a thousand rounds and no gun that caliber, so all them shells are sitting in my ammo pile now. ;D
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Tensleep.
I'll be praying for your co-worker and his family, Stoney.
A few year ago, my co-worker's son was killed by a IED in Iraq. An Army chaplain came to work.
BTW, my paster is an Army Reserve chaplain. He has volunteered for a year's duty in Iraq.
Del called last night to say Texas Lawdog and he had made it to Ord, NE. They had chicken fried steak fer supper.
'Tis 25 and sunny. First frost of the season. High of 57.
Slim
good ta hear both of em made it safe and sound, bet they enjoyed that CFS
Awwwwww. man. I'm awful sorry ta hear that, Pete. Prayers for the family of the fallen. As well as the injured 'n his family.
As I don't hunt 'n I roll my own, I'll stick to the .223 for the 'assault' rifle. 9mm for street carry, .357 Magnum for CAS. None of 'em are as cheap as they used to be but in today's market they're still reasonably inexpensive as opposed to factory costs.
Mornin' Fellas,
Thanks for the Coffee Tensleep, and very happy belated Happy Birthday. I know yer having a good one cuz yer at a big shoot. ;D
Marshal Will I am about 5 miles from Travis AFB. Couple hrs from you. Just enough time for something to be warm outta the oven when ya get here should you give me proper notification.

Hope Del and TLD are having a great time, I bet the CFS was good!
Late as usual Lately.........Happy 29th Tensleeps...Hope your having a great time in The Not so Free State.
SP a prayer out to the soldiers and their families........... all of them. LIT just said it best.
Been up doing errands this morning.....Last week my truck was in the shop so it didn't get inspected for it annual, this morning I run it in. Then back to the shop where they did the work to ad a piece they had to order. Then found out he finally got his State Inspectors permit...sure would have saved me some time if I knew first. It's done for another year.
Weather been nice and cool in the mornings warming into the 70's in afternoon. Starting to feel like squirrel season. ;D Got some 405 gr bullets on order need to start rolling some ammo for 'em ;D ;D ;D

Last weekend, had a War of Northern Aggression re-enactment in a county me 'n Tom have to pass thru on our way ta the shoots in Wakefield. Ole boy got hisownself shot in the shoulder. Air lifted 'im ta the horsepistol. Walked out the next day. Sounds like he was really hurt, don't it?
Good ole boy Sheriff gonna get ta the bottom of it. So far, he cain't hardly find anybody what'll fess up ta even bein' there much less 'bout somebody gettin' shot. Speculated maybe it was a stray shot from a squirrel hunter.
The paper reported the doc dug the 'ball' out 'n give it to ole boy what got shot. He's still got it. Say it's a .45. Why he has possession of it I dunno. Ole city cop like me wouldah sent sumbody ta the horsepistol ta recover the evidence, take names, record times 'n such. But we kinda dumb when it comes ta shootin's. Only handle two er three a week.
Sheriff's prolly right. Stray shot from a hunter while the show was goin' on. Must not ah been NRA safety trained.

You can eat them things? I was trying to keep 'em from multipling and driving Arcey crazy
Arcey truth be known the victim already knew who dun it. I think CSI did a scenario like that
Aw, hell, Rooster. Most e'erbody there knows who the idiot was what loaded a live round(s) 'n dropped the hammer. Sumbody prolly has it on video. Bet ya a beer straight up it was a pure accident. They'll take care of it themselves. But they ain't tellin' ole Barney.
Either way, if the rag's right, Ole Deputy Dawg's done blown the chain of custody on the evidence.

Your right about the evidence, you'd had someone sitting at the ER waitin' for the ball
Didn't have much choice. I'd ah done sumthin' that stupid I'd ah been out the bureau so fast it'd make yer head spin.
Gee, I'll have ta keep an eye out fer them squirel hunters. Specialy the ones packin Spencers, though I doubt there's too many a them around these parts.
Got locked outta here fer most a the day, not sure what happened but everything else on this stupid machine worked fine. Well OK mebbe it aint the machine that's stupid but ya know what I mean. Got "this page cannot be displayed" but only fer this site.
Rain finnaly came taday, little sprinkles, but still genuine water fallin out a the sky. Sposed ta get more tamarra an I'm sposed ta go shootin. Mebbe Sunday'll be dry. I hope so, cause I sure could use some range time.

I can remember back 20 or 30 years ago, they'd shoot a car up like that over to Redbird, Oklahoma, course when they got done somebody'd set it on fire :o
been up to about 68 fer a high today, little humidity and south wind starting up this afternoon

Boy, you guys are hard on yer trucks back there. ;D
That'll need a ton of bondo before you can paint it, now.
That truck looks like it just drove through a neighborhood in LA!
That isn't Del's truck is it? :o ::)
Been a nasty couple days here. Took Sandy to Wade Park, supposed to be a consult. Turns out they did a biopsy. Bad news, looks like the BIG "C". About 3cm by 5cm and kinda deep in. Sandy fell apart and Susie ain't much better, need a bunch of prayers for this bunk house about now. Have to take her back up probably next Thursday for another ultra sound and a bigger biopsy. then they'll discuss options for treatment, probly radiation of some sort. Ain't life grand........Buck ::) :-\ 8)
Buck, tell Sandy she has our prayers and you and Susie do too.
Buck,
My wife and I wish Sandy and you all the best. Lil prays alot more than me, but I will join her tonight.
Your wife has the love of a good man behind her, and that goes a long day when dealing with these things.

Have a good time at Pungo, Tom.
Have fun shootin', Arcey, LR.
My wife took a camera along while we played frisbee with the dogs the other day. Got some good photos. Those little suckers sure like to get some air when they catch. Here's a link to her web album on it for those interested.

Finished shooting today.
Only misses were them popsickle sticks that I left up yestiddy when tha Stoeger broke.
Young Will Brigand stopped by to see us and visit for a while.
He is a freshman at Mt St Mary's here in MD.
The boy looks good and has really grown.
Look for him here before long, he is changing his alias to "Will B Independent." ;)
Afternoon y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Tensleep.
Del called last night. They are having a good time. Talked ta Texas Lawdog until his phone rang and he gave me back ta Del.
That truck shooting looks like fun, Stoney. ;D
I'll be praying fer y'all, Buck.
Feeling like squirrel season here too. Had frost this morning again.
Nice pictures of the dogs, Marshal Will.
Been cutting more brush and burning junk wood. Got the branding iron out while I had hot cools and branded a board ta send ta Mustang Gregg.
That's great ya got ta see Will, Tensleep. I love his new Alias. ;D
I'z out in the yard by the fire taking a break. Had brats and baked beans fer lunch.

Thanks for the prayers and messages, Guys, we need a lot right now. ::) :-\ Sandy's a HUGE worrier, coupled with PTSD and some minor Bipolar, she can be real mess at times.
I changed the oil on Susie's hoss this morning, and she put out some of those new LED combo lights on our front bushes. They can change colors, orange for Halloween, multi-color for Christmas, or a combination of both. About 70 per bush( 2 bushes). Coupled with her Halloween inflatable, she's about set for it. We also put a couple mum plants in the ground by the picket fence, one was a 10" potted one that was white. It was sitting on the office desk after Monday morning's run with a card saying "Happy Anniversary", no signer, just our names on it :o :D Was quite a surprise for us. The other, Susie picked up last night at Wally's, an 8" potted in a deep burgandy or purple( depends on the light source). We took our bikes over to our oldest son's for storage this afternoon. Both trips, we took Sandy with us to get her out of the house, and her mind off things for awhile.
Susie's doing real well on the job, she's coupled with one of our trainer/driver's and is getting a good raport with the client's on that bus. Her's are all Workshop people( adults). Fuel crunch( prices) are affecting the MRDD here. They've taken to parking some of the buses at the workshop locations and one of the schools and shuttling the crews back to the garage between runs. Susie's bus is one of the shuttles and the women are going to keep an eye on her during this sick period as she's taken Sandy's problem pretty hard. A couple of them have had cancer and are survivors..........Buck 8) ::) ;)

Jackie's in the kitchen now seeing if she can cook one of them Apple cakes. don't hardlly know why, we're sa full now we couldn't eat it. course that ain't ta say we might not be hungry later. :o
Evenin Y'all, just got in from replacing the rear brakes on my Dakota, had to go to 3 places to get all the parts, still have to get the drums, nobody had those in stock. Got half way through the job and found a leaking wheel cylinder, That will get replaced when I put the drums on.It's always something. ::) will have to rebuild the ball joints next, Have to get those done before the evil white stuff starts to come down.weather was a bit chilly mid 50's this afternoon, dropped lower when the sun set. Guess I'll kick back and relax for the rest of the night, Y'all be good ;)

Sorry pard. Prayers up.
I went to my local toy store/gunsmith to drop off two carbines that need some tlc and saw a gent trading in a S&W Mod 60, what's even better is I knew EXACTLY what the trade in value was. He said "Since you know what I paid for it, make me an offer." As you can see he accepted my offer.

If yours are anything like mine, you have to wear them out so you can relax. ;D The dark one moves like a high-ball express and launches himself up to about 20 feet for the catch. The other one just runs out and leaps up to meet the thing on the way down. Post some pics of yours one of these days.

Buck, Prayers up for your family.
Nice Piece Pete ;D
Thanks for sharing the pics of the pups Marshal Will, looks like a good time.
Went for a horseback ride yesterday at Point Reyes. We just beat the down pour back. I rode my friends big horse as mine was on the trail with my b-I-L and sister. I don't mind riding Charley at all. I just forget how much ground he can cover with the long legs. I really need to get a pic of him and me togeather.
Today we went to Alcatraz, they had civil war days there and the group that was doing it did a very good job. They had one of the 24 lb Howitzers set up and the two fellas talking about it were very knowlegable, gave a real interesting talk. We also took a tour with one of the rangers that talked about how the place was built and the different layers of history you can see. Part of the orginal brick wall is there and he showed where it stopped at the end of the civil war and they started using different materials to build.
Nice gun, Stoney.
Slim
That cake does look good, OT 8) ;D
;D well I was able to eat a little of it, I wasn't too full for that.
Oh, yeah, Stoney. I forgot earler to mention that I like your new toy. Cool pistola.
OT, ma Mom used ta make that cake. I haven't thought about it in years, but thinkin back, it was dang good. Don't suppose Jackie would send the recipe, would she ::)
Will, I'll get a picture of both dogs tagether an post it. You'll see the resemblance.
Woulda loved ta see the Alcatraz thing, sounds perty cool. As usual I can say, "mebbe next year".
Leo
Howdy, all. Midnight shift stoppin'by.
We'll hold you and yours in our thoughts and prayers, Buck.
Couldn't get to the pics, Marshal, but I know just about what I'd see there. We had a couple of mutts that competed with each other for the frisbees; one was a sawed off Sheltie-Corgi mix, and the other was an Australian Blue Cattle Dog. The shorty was the high jumper of the two, though they both were passable good at it; they seldom missed.
Nice aquisition, there, Stoney.
Have had a weather front passing through here the last couple of days; it's really cooled off, comaratively. Only got to 83 here today, and it started raining about 2200, just stuck around long enough to wet the pavement real good; had a pretty good blow earlier, gusts to almost 70 in a few areas of the valley, here being one - it sounded as if the house was going to get pushed off the slab a couple of times. 65 out front right now - Brrrr!! ;D
Well, ben fightin' to keep my eyes open all day; think I'll hit the hay and see if I can get a bit of a nap; sleeps been a bit on the scarce side lately.
Later.
Mornin' ladies ;) ;D
Gonna go and watch tha shootoff this mornin', got lots of friends in it again this year.
Suppose I'll take my guns,, never know when they might get down to tha hunnert an' twenty fifth alternate. ;)
Y'all have ah cup o' HOT CAWFEE! ;D
Nice S&W Stoney...
Thanks for the Coffee Tensleeps........
time for some sleep here
Thanks fer the Coffee
60 out this morning, supposed to get up near 80 fer a high with a chance of some rain later today and tomorrow, sayin some may be heavy.
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Tensleep.
'Tis 28 and sunny.
Time for breakfast then got ready fer church.
Slim
Hey, y'all.
Been a long time since yestiddy mornin'. They've gone bargain shoppin'. It'll be quiet fer awhile.
Great time at the shoot. I just kept score figgerin' I'd have ta go early. Crowd size was just right ta get out a l'il after two. Wildcat Will wrote a good'n. Lottsa laffs. No one got shot.
Nice find, SP. Back in the day ya couldn't get a 2" 60. They were snatched up before they hit the case. If ya could find one ya couldn't touch it for anywhere near list. Wound up with a 3" 36, heavy barrel 'n wide sights. The l'il revolver is a shooter but blue 'n daily carry can be a rusty mess if ya ain't real careful.
Funny how things change. Back then I didn't cotton ta self-shuckers 'n plastic. Now I don't wanna carry anything else...
used to have several double action revolvers, Colts and S&W, that's all we could carry, no auto's back then, had a friend got a Colt Goldcup for target shooting and I got to shooting with him, liked it real good and had to have one, been all downhill for my revolvers since then, traded and sold most of em through the years, still got a S&W 66 2 1/2" barrel and a S&W 29 4", ain't nothing wrong with double action revolvers, I guess time changes everything.
Still have most of mine. Separate safe from what I keep the active stuff in. Pull 'em out once in a while ta check 'em over. Three stainless the rest are blue. They'll get rid of 'em cheap when I pass on. Just don't wanna let 'em go. One is my issued service revolver I bought when we phased 'em out. She's been worked on a l'il since then.
Just that taday I'm convinced what I'm totin' – for me – is a much better choice than what the city required me to carry back then. And what does the city do AFTER I retire? Issue the same thing I'm carryin' now....
Phooey...
We had a great time yesterday! Arcey kept us shooters on our toes. I had a "P" on the second shot of the first stage and it went downhill from there, at least I made Arcey do a bunch of cypherin! Made plenty of fire, smoke, boom, and stink though.
Howdy, pards. Thanks for the cup, Sleep. Nice and sunny out this morning.
Sounds like a good day shootin, Tom. Great fun, there.
I get to stack the wood that's still in my truck from yesterday. One more load to go get but that'll happen another day. We went over to my cousin's for skirt steaks, red potatoes, acorn squash, stuffed zuchini, salad and raspberry cobbler last night. Lots of other stuff, too but those were the main items. My wife made some deviled eggs to take along. I don't need any breakfast or lunch today. ;D
Buck,
Prayers up from here too.

Aint a big fan of the snubbies, but that one Stoney got looks nice. Lil's lookin fer a pistol all her own now (I spoilt her with the .357 rifle) and she's wantin it real bad. Lookin around fer just the right one. It's fun havin a wife that shoots ;D

Thanks for caring on in my place..... ;D
Have a few self shuckers myself, caring one to and from, Montana carrys one too. I still love a nice revolver, Single or double action. Smith or Colt. Like to give 'em all a home.
evenin Y'all, I have more round guns than square,I used to carry either my Colt 1911 or my Browning Hi-Power when I worked the Armored car company. Now a days I'll usually have my S&W 342 PD airlite Ti in my waistband. It's so light that I don't even feel it there. Come winter I may go back to the 1911, But for now that 11 ounce .38 +P will do the job. ;D
I only have one self-shucker; a P90 Ruger. The only DA revolver I have is a H&R pocket pistol.
Been raining since 2:30 pm.
Slim
we got done settin up everything in the houses today, all we got to do now is light the fires tomorrow, be ready on Tuesday for the birds.
still 67 outside, made it almost up to 80 for a high today, south wind was bringing in the humidity, supposed to be a chance of some rain tomorrow.

Well the National GAF Muster is over. I 'm spending the night in Lincoln. TomorrowI'm going to the FORT to see Del again. I'm lookin at buyin a Black Hat and a frock coat .He says he's got em to fit me. Stayin in that barracks reminded me of being in the Army. I didn'tn get to to talk to Slim very long. I hope everyone is doing okay and I hope the Shooters did good in their matches this weekend. I enjoyed my first week of retirement and I hope I have many more. LIT I will make sure we get a picture taken of Del and I together. We were too busy this weekend to do it.
glad to hear ya had a good time, hope ya find just what yer looking for down at the fort. ;D
I almost forgot, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRO. SLEEP! I get mine on the 13th, then we will both be 61. I'm on the road on the way back to TEXAS. I took a side trip to Lincoln to see Del again and to visit the FORT. I've already made some weak hotel room coffee. Del brewed up some good COWBOY CAWFEE at the MUSTER.
Glad yer havin' ah good time Bro TLD.
MDS is history for 2008. Another really good match, Chuckaroo and his crowd do a great job.
Gonna hit tha road here in ah bit, y'all be good.

That's a right fine job done there. I'd need to watch it a few times to see eveything as so much was going on at the same time.
Tensleeps ....I'd tell ya to stop for coffee, but I'll probably pass you on the Highway. Yon have a safe day travlin'
Tex... you do the same also
Thanks for the coffee.
Thanks fer the Coffee
still callin for some rain here later today, 64 right now, lots of humidity, I guess we can use a little rain, been almost 3 weeks since the last good one.
y'alll be careful on your way home and on the way to work, lots of crazies out there. :o
I am having a ball just takin' my time gettin' back. This is the first real vacation that I've had seen 95. Retirement is great. I still wake up at 0430, but now I don't have to get up if I don't want to. Bro. Sleep did tell MM that I had mailed him a MO for the loadin' blocks? If not, The money should have gotten there by now. I'm gonna drive to Wichita, Kansas today and spend the night. That will leave me about 320 mile left. This last stretch I can drive in my sleep.
I told MM 'bout tha MO TLD.
I'd stop LR but I really need to get home ;)
Glad y'all had a good match Arcey.
OT, we sold a lil bit... I'll tell ya more when we get home.
Thanks Bro. Sleep. How does it feel to be 61? Does it feel any different than 60? Inquiring MINDS wanna know!
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Tensleep.
Have a safe trip Texas Lawdog and Tensleep.
'Tis 48 and overcast. "Rain showers this morning with isolated thunderstorms developing during the afternoon hours. High 66F. Winds ESE at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 40%."

Man, This Hotel coffee is weak. I'm accustomed to Bro. Sleep's CAWFEE!
61 is tha new 49 TLD ;)
I always carry my own Cawfee when we travel, most motels/hotels have cheap crappy coffee.
Mornin', y'all.
57/96% 'n clear.
Carry my own. Found the motels' passable but inferior 'n not 'nuff of it. Ask for more it the desk 'n they wanna give ta one. Always got me 'n a thermos ta fill. Small can ah Folgers 'n filters don't take up much room in the saddle bags.
Drive careful folks.
Mornin' pards. Thanks for the cup, Sleep.
Great vid on the war, Majer. Thanks for that.
Oh, yeah. I went to see Appaloosa last night. It was good. On a scale of 10, I'd give it an 8 or 9. Ed Harris did a fine job of acting and Viggo Mortensen was really good in his part, in fact, I thought he took the lead better at times.
Mornin' Fellas,
Thanks for the coffee Tensleep.
Y'all be safe in your travels and have a great day!
Mornin' all. 53 here, we had some light sprinkles this morning. It's kinda breezy out at the moment.
Safe travels all................Buck 8) ::) ;)
Hey All.
Motlel coffee is usualy no treat. There is one brand called Chok Full O Nuts that is perty good. Lil just goes out and looks fer the maids cart in the mornin ta get more an the gal usualy hands it over, bypassing the front desk all tagether. She knows how ta get things done.
Glad ya had a good trip Tex. Hope ya get many more of those.

Wife drug me to Homarama today, it's a shame to see what builders can do to a good shooting range. The home are going up within 100yds of the old Pungo range, I asked a couple of the builders what they did for lead reclamation and cleanup and they looked at me like I had nine heads.

been raining here the last 3 hours, looks like an inch and a half or so. nothing like riding back and forth to the barns on yer 4 wheeler , after the first trip, there's no difference in weather your wearing a rain coat or not. so I just put on my short pants and flip flops and make believe I'm at a water park. just riding the rides. :o :o ;D
hope I don't get sa old that a good soaking ride can't always be fun. ;D

Just shaved beef, onion, salt and pepper plus Cheddar cheese.
Kinda like a PhillyCheese Steak but on a bisquit and with "GOOD" cheese, a real Philly one uses some sort of fake cheese. :P
Didn't take any starter, but on a sourdough biscuit I guess it's a Cowboy Cheese Steak. ;D

Forgot, they got the guys, about 45 minutes later.
TLD, they went down the alley right behind the OWS window where we were sittin' talkin'. Duped the first car the other side of the building and took off in another one.
well just let yer hosses rest the night fill em up and lett em run, should be able to make it through the Indian Territory without a hitch, cross that old Red River, they won't follow ya further than that. ;D
and that's good ya give that fella out there in the alley enough money fer it to thow em off yer trail.
OT< I might just stay in the Nations. I got a lot of hideouts in the Nations, due to my many years there. I feel like my Cherokee kin folks will hide me out. I'M GONNA GIVE THAT RECEIPE TO MOOSE TO MAKE. I can hardly wait. I like apples and I like that kind of bread. It's always good in the mornin' with a cup of cawfee.
Quote from: Delmonico on October 06, 2008, 07:40:06 PMJust shaved beef, onion, salt and pepper plus Cheddar cheese.
Kinda like a PhillyCheese Steak but on a bisquit and with "GOOD" cheese, a real Philly one uses some sort of fake cheese. :P
Didn't take any starter, but on a sourdough biscuit I guess it's a Cowboy Cheese Steak. ;D
Thanks. It sounds lkike I'm going to have to follow you around closely. :D
Del fed us real good at the Muster. Thursday night we had CFS, Friday night we made pan pizza, Sat. night we had Pot roast, potatoes, and onions. We had bisquits and gravy on Fri, Eggs and bacon on Sat, and Pot Roast hash on Sun. It was all delicious. Del and Oscar did a terrific job cooking our meals.
UP AN' GOIN' ALL YOU WADDIES!
HOT CAWFEE THEN RIDE LIKE HELL FOR THA HERD ! ;D
Thanks fer the Coffee

You ought to be able to just send the barrels as a part, and by pass the Red tape of shipping a gun? Without digging mine out of the safe I believe that piece is welded on
As much abuse as mine has been thru it's a wonder it ain't broke 'fore now..
I'm sure they'll make it right.

I might try Robbnin' Trains next. I'm hidin' out in the Nations till the HEAT dies down. I might even head to Ft Smith and get me a Marshal job for the "Hangin' Judge".
Sorry ta hear it, bro.
How was the wild bunch shootin' Tex? That '11 clone do ya proper?

Hey All.
I'm still short a scatter gun :( Lil had one that was 12 gauge on top and 4-10 on the bottom but it got sold long ago, and it wouldn't have been legal fer CAS anyway.
Tex, yer adventure sounds like it was a blast. THAT'S the way ta start off yer retirement! Well I guess bein a marshall that robs trains might add a little excitment ta yer life too ;D

well we got all the birds on the ground about 11, they'd had a long trip, North Carolina, first time we've got em from this company. Prestage Farms Clinton, NC, we finally found their right temperature after a little searching, looks like they are settling down now. they liked a little hotter temps than the average bird does, got it up to 105 degrees right under the stove, but they started getting up and moving around, eating and drinking and that's the name of the game the first day, they got to have a drink and a little food to get em going.
rain finally quit and the fog lifted, the bird truck got lost coming up here this morning, I tell everybody, ya got ta turn left at all them T's ya come to. ;D
Del, that picture must be real, looks just like TLD, me and Jackie had supper with him one time over to Fort Smith. glad to hear y'all had a good time out to the Fort.
Thinkin' Del is the ugly one on the right. Do that be Terry Lane on the left? Reckon Tex is in the middle.
Terry is ah right nice feller, met him over in Oklahoma this spring.
Can't say much fer them other two, they look mighty suspicious. ;)

Arcey, That's what happens to you after 38 years of being a COP. I told you I was an Ol' Cop. That light colored shirt and Light colored hat makes me look pale. I try and the Moose to take my picture in my dark shirt and black hat. LR, I may have to get one of those new fangled horseless carriages. Leo, I don't plan on pursuing both careers at the same time. The Bank Robbery was a spare of the moment thing. My Marshal job in the Nations will keep me busy and out of trouble. I just needed a nest egg.
Howdy. I got up a little later than usual and had to hit the trail early today. I just got back. Now I can take it a little easier.

I had a nice 18th cent. weekend camp down in Kings Mountain NMP. It was a mite chilly Friday night, but it got warmer as the weekend progressed. I would have rather it stayed on the cooler side, although I realized that the blankets I had were fine for that temp, but need more for colder. I think I need to hit the stores before the next event Veterans Day.

Hope they didn't empty yer pockets too bad, TLD, or maybe they did since you had to stick up an express to get home ::) :o ;D 8)
Trinity, looks like ya had a good camping area, plenty of straw and plenty of covers and Coffee. couldn't ask but fer a couple of more extras fer comfort. ;)
well the birds are all put to bed, they settled down real good and got em a belly full of feed, they should sleep fine till morning. glad today's over, usually gets easier the second day.
Can't ya jist see OT an' Jackie singin' lullebys to tha lil terkees?
;D
ah, tain't no big deal, we just change up the words to cattle call and sing it as Turkey call. ;)

The turkeys cattle are prowlin',
The coyotes are howlin'
Way out where the doggies roam
Where spurs are a jinglin'
And the cowboy is singing
His lonesome turkey cattle call
(yodeling)
There ya go! ;D
Buck, I was needing a nest egg. I'm branchin' out into robbin' trains. I figger if the Reno Brothers did it I can do it too. I'm gone over to the dark side. OT, Too bad that Eddy Arnold has died. We might have had him a new hit.
Nice picture, Del.
I'z in the garage loading ammo fer Mississippi Fandango this weekend. It's 10 stages.
Slim
yep, he could a made a hit out of it.
we used to go up in the student union over in Stillwater and that'd be playin, over and over and over, lots of Cowboys in there. ;D
OT, A Buddy of mine got into a bar fight in the French Quarter for playin' it 15 times in a row. This was in the 60's.
Raining purty good. Put the chicks ta bed. Water was dripping from my hat by the time I got back in.

BEEF! It's for Dinner!

53 out this morning, supposed to be sunny and near 72 for a high, ended up with 2 1/2 inches of rain, sure had plenty of rain this year, 55 inches so far and we still got a few months of the year left.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh.... Yes!
46/93%. Nice!
Thanks for the Coffee Tensleeps.

Mornin' pards. Thanks for the coffee, sleep.
It's clear again this morning. Yesterday was toasty and it'll be more of the same today, cooling slowly up to the weekend.
Sam Elliott, eh? I wish I had his popularity in the movie industry. He's one of the better character actors in westerns.

Howdy back, PR. Good to see ya.
LOL!!!!!
The village idiot, the mornin', local show host, just told us Russia has battleships. No one has battleships anymore. They're obsolete. Same clown what said the Japs sunk our aircraft carriers at Pearl.
ad lib... :o
Sounds like the idiot shoots from tha lip an' doan hit much!
::)
I would like to know where this squirrel gets his info on Russian battleships and the sinking of our carriers at Pearl Harbor. I would like to quiz him on the Pearl Harbor info. I've probably read more about the Pearl Harbor attack and the naval activities in the Pacific during WWII. I don't like news media people for the most and would dearly enjoy ripping him a new A$$HOLE on his inaccurate info.
Mebbe he watched Tora Tora Tora a few too many times.
Will, you are Sam. I can't let ma wife see yer new avitar without worryin 'bout her packin up an headin yer way ;D
Thanks fer the joe, it's goin down just fine this morning.
Have a fresh copy of TORA! TORA! TORA! here on the desk unopened. B'day gift from my girls. Maybe I should loan it to him so he can pay attention.
Hate not to listen to the fool. He pulls in some seriously interestin' guests includin' a few historians. If ya want a real thrill the station streams. wnis.com.
When he gets in his zone I shut 'im off 'n go to the Bortz show on line. The computer in the den has a hell of an amp on it for games 'n the thing'll rattle the windows. Easy ta hear in the kitchen durin' KP.
Whadja think of the recent one with Cuba Jr? I think they tried ta be accurate.
When I went ta Hawaii years ago all the men who gave the presentation at the memorial were Pearl vets. I doubt it's that way now, what with time movin along. Soldier who gave us the tour had done it several times a day fer years, and the guy still cried durring the slide show. I can only imagine, an I don't want to.
Leo
well another day on the way out, birds are actin just like you want em to. couldn't be much better if they understood and minded me. ;D
up to almost 70 for a high today, light North wind with hardlly any humidity, bright sunshine all day.
been out in the shop working, always helps to take yer mind off anything else,
WE had wonderful weather today. The Dish went out while I was gone to Nebraska. They sent out a repairman this afternoon. Miss T did not him in her house or her yard. I told her it was okay and she left him alone. He had replace some underground cable and we are back in business.
OT, kin ya start 'bout 3-4 o' them terkees this way?
We need to fill tha freezer an' they oughta be 'bout 15-16# when they get here. ;)
;D
Don't know who Cuba Junior is/was, Leo.
Was just outside seein' the youngest off. She stopped by after class. Think it's warmer out now than it was this afternoon.
Hehehehehehe.. That kid is singin' the blues over the gas she's burnin'. They wanted a place at the ocean front. They got it.
;D Arcey did you remind her that the gas prices are droppin now?
These big turkeys we got will go out in a coupla weeks, they are lettin em get a little bigger and will be sent out for some of the Thanksgiving Turkeys, takes a lot of turkeys to feed everybody. ;D I think they are putting aroiund 40,000 a night in the freezer, 5 nights a weeks, toward the end of this month they'll go to 7 days a week for about a month to get all they can ready to go out.
OT, That's a lot of white meat.
your right about that, we've got a coupla hundred over 32,000 that will be going in a week or two, they should weigh about 15 pounds each, so just our farm this one flock will weigh around 480,000 pounds of birds. should feed a couple of family's ;)

I was in Richmond again today for another meeting and saw that our VA pards are paying about $.50 less than we are. OK, it's still expensive, but I'd like half a buck less. :(
Last year my mother made a turkey breast instead of a whole turkey and it was soooooo good! She denied marinating or doing anything different, so I really don't know what was different. I'm looking forward to another one.
Trinity, it probably got tumbled, they put these turkeys in a big drum, looks like a big clothes dryer and tumble them for 6 hours, to tenderrize them, at least that's the way they do it here and I know Honeysuckle White does the same thing, so I'm asuming most do the same.
our turkeys here go to Springdale, Ar. for further processing, that's where they do turkey breasts and several other items. they just do whole turkeys at Ozark.
Quote from: Arcey on October 08, 2008, 06:43:45 PM
Don't know who Cuba Junior is/was, Leo.
He's an actor name a Cuba Gooding Junior that played a ships cook. In the movie (Pearl Harbor), he manned the guns when no one was left ta do it. Kinda like the chaplain in the old song " Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition". If ya like war movies, it's a perty good one.
HEY! somebody stole my hay. They put it back but it's all wet. Need ta keep a closer eye out 'round here.
Gas prices aint nothin nice around here. "Wow, I can take this here 5 spot an get me a gallon. Can't wait ta get the change! The gumball machine looks soooo inviting."

I'z in the garage loading .44 WCF.

OT, I can smell the Turkeyand Dressing already.
you know we were just talking about the dressing just makes a turkey. ;D
well Jackie has decided that she needs a period correct handle so she's come up with Lazy Dasiy, so I told her I tell everyone, I don't know if she'll ever post any but we'll set her up on her computer and see.
I'z in tha shop loadin' .38spl ;D
Last Butterball terkee breast we had was fantastic!
Tender, juicy an' good flavor.
We have plans to get a couple an' put 'em in tha freezer.
Had a report this mornin' of gas at $3.159 'bout 10 miles from here.
I bought some Sunday up near Litl Rooster for $3.339
Cute alias OT, shore ain't true, Jackie ain't got ah lazy bone in her body. ;D

I had a station owner tell me today that he had wholesale gas offered to him yesterday for $2.875,
1200 gal min, 2000 gal max.
He took the 2000, it was supposed to be delivered today.
Colonial pipeline and Dominion pipeline (Va's supply lines) still are not fully operational.
We still have stations with no gas signs up.
I paid $3.659 for Plus when I filled up the Intrepid, Super was $3.759 for the Dakota :( Reg is $3.399
why ya know I got to give her a boot in the seat of her pants in the mornings to get her moving, :o ::) don't tell her I said that. I'm libal to get one too. ;D
they were saying on the local news at 5 that gas had gone below $3 here in Arkansas. it can sure come on down , it'd be fine with me.
got this in an e-mail, haven't tried it but I thought I'd post it in case somebody somewhere is hungry. ;D
most dangerous recipe in the world!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1 000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous). And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
Quote from: Trinity on October 08, 2008, 07:56:30 PMIt was a fine weekend, but I wore myself out. Why does fun have to be so tirin'?
OK. Let's put it this way. When was the last time you were 18 years old? ;D ;)
Tensleeps it dropped in price here since , Yesterday it was 3.30.9 today it was 3.25.9 and 3.23.9 up on RT28 about 6 miles.
I thought I'd go a extra day and see what it is tomorrow before I fill up again. Paid 3.45.9 last fill.
I talked to a friend in south eastern Ohio today said he paid 3.05 yesterday. I have yet to see a station say they had no gas.
OT I am sitting here debating weather we have all the ingrediants for the cake here.
I haven't checked any gas prices around here. I need to put gas in Miss Victoria's truck
60 and becomin' overcast, chance of showers today.
HOT CAWFEE!
Thanks for the coffee Sleep!
Gas at the WaWa up the street is $3.09 this morning. Dang if this keeps up it might even be affordable.
Paid $3.69/gal for mid-grade last night here in "occupied" Northern Virginia.
Thanks for the cawfee, TenZ.
Thanks for the cawfee Bro. Sleep.
Thanks fer the Coffee
51 out this morning not a cloud in the sky, supposed to be up to the mid 70's for a high today and warmer through the weekend.
They were saying on the News this morning that last year at this time the Gas was $ 2,66 saying we may see it again fore long.
Dang coyotes were sounding like they were out playing in the front yard this morning, got me up about 5, took the 22 mag out on the front porch and put 5 or 6 bullets the general direction of the howling, least they ain't howling now. gonna hafta get one of them night scopes.
SB - we are you buying Gas. :o
The going rate in Manassas is 3.20 - 3.29 for regular. ;D
Costco is the place to go for Gas - if all you do is buy Gas there - you pay for your basic yearly fee after about 4-5 months.

It's cool outside and no wind. Miss T is enjoying her patio. She was glad when the Dish network guy left yesterday. She doesn't like strangers in her yard. I still don't know price the gas is.
Happy Birthday Leo and may ya have many more.
Thank ya All :)
Lil made me two blueberry pies, and we busted inta one of em last night. Just enough left fer breakfast this mornin outta that one. The crockpot is fired up fer pulled pork sammiches tanight :D 'Tween the mornin pie an the evenin grub I'm gonna go put holes in water jugs by way of .357 mag.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEO, I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!
OH, AND I WANA SHOOT TOO !!!!!! ;) :D
Hippo Birdies to you, Leo, ya' pup. Hope yer day is as fun as it sounds.
Thanks for the cuppa(s), an' makin' me hongree, all this talk of pie and such. ;D
Reading about the gas prices - here in "Lost Wages", it's $3.36 for regular 87 - got my mind to wanderin' back over the years and the prices I've seen come and go. When I was in high school and puttin' in time at several different stations around the little town I lived in, 100 octane premium was around 19 0r 20 cents/gallon, and I'd pump it for ya' and check your oil and clean your windows, and blow up your tires, all included. 8) Some ten years later, I was commuting to work in my race car, a '68 Chevelle SS 396 with a cammed up and Holley 800 fed Rrumbler motor, and I pitched a blue fit when Richfield went to 35 cents for super premium. Another ten years along, I did the same thing again when I was on vacation, and had to pay 77 cents for premium in the remote High Sierra region. Guess I must'a got numb after that; I still stew about it some, but there ain't nothin' to be done about it. :-\
Arcey, that business about history and calling thing by their right (to us) names, is a lost cause, I think. I got on my grandson one day about calling a carrier a battleship, and he told me that it was a ship, and it went into battle, hence any ship that did that could be called a battleship and it was a waste of time to try to make the distinction; didn't mean anything to him, he's not going to go into the service, anyhow. And, he also made a comment to me about history and the lack of interest in it; I was "lecturing" him about those who do not learn the lessons of history being doomed to repeat the errors. He said that his is a new generation, and they will get their education from their own experience, that they don't see the world the same way as I do. Many young folks today seem to have an entirely unattached view of life. I asked him if he has been folowing the presidential race, and if he could vote, who he'd vote for. He said no, he had not "really" been paying any attention to it, why should he if he couldn't vote?, but he guessed he'd probably vote for Obama. I asked why, and he said a couple of his teachers had told all their students to do that, because McCain, and later on "that lady" (Palin), were crooks and liars. Joe is 17, a senior, and an honors student. I am afraid to imagine what the less motivated kids think. Arrrghh!!!!
That's enough ranting and raving; I'll stew the rest of the day, now. Got's to go do something productive; Joe wants me to (help him) install the new spoiler on th trunk of his car, if it gets here today.
Later.
Went over to Costco, they don't have gas pumps at this one, but, I did buy gas on Midlothian Tnpk for 2.989 regular unleaded.
I'm with you EP. I pumped gas fer $0.179 when I was a kid in Dallas. Got yer tires checked, oil checked an' winders warshed.
Goin' to college I paid 'bout 20-25 cents/gal.
Happy Birthday Leo!
I can remember stations having gas wars and the price getting down to 15 to 20 cents a gallon, oil, windshield washed, air in the tires and a free car wash ticket.
Hear what yer sayin', EP. Jist that this one, the village idiot, is older than I am 'n styles himself an expert. Thing is, Amy Airhead listens to the crap 'n don't know no better. I say anymore'n that I'd go onna rant.
April, '71. Bought me a brand new car for $2,900.00. Werkin' full time fer the city for, I think it was $412.00 a month. Was payin' $100.00 a month for a nice one bedroom apartment with central A/C. Never had A/C where I lived before.
May '74. Bought me a house for $20,000.00. Three bedroom 'n a yard big 'nuff ta build a barn in the back, easy. Sold it six years later for $45,000.00.
Least I'm old enough ta have used leaded gas, and had got it fer under a buck. .759 seems ta stand out in ma mind but I'm sure it was lower than that when I first got behind the wheel.
EP, thanks fer the wishes. I have always preached importance of history to the kids. They get all cross eyed and smug that they got it all figgured out. Guess it's all part of the cycle. When it gets completely futile I just say,"I got a much better chance of winning on Jepordy than you." They all think I'm wierd. ;D
Leo
Oh, an thank you Irish. Sent ya PM.

SB - we are you buying Gas. :o
The going rate in Manassas is 3.20 - 3.29 for regular. ;D
Costco is the place to go for Gas - if all you do is buy Gas there - you pay for your basic yearly fee after about 4-5 months.

PR, the price is always higher in Fairfax County than in Prince William County due to road taxes. I has sometimes seen a 10-20 cent price difference just by crossince the Occoquan River. FYI, the Costco near me do not sell gas.
Howdy, pards. I just got back into town.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEO
OK, got some more things to get done.
Later, pards.
The audiance is now deaf ;D :) :D
Thank ya Will.
I didn't get shootin in taday, but the weekend looks promising. Wanna take the neighbors out with us and gotta get the schedules right. Just been loungin around enjoying the smell of the crock pot. It's been 'bout 70 and sunny, good weather.
Leo
Well, Leo you made another birthday. I hope you don't make yourself sick eatin' all that blueberry pie. You can wish me Happy Birthday on Monday(61).
wish I had all the below .50 cent gas I've put through ma cars, wouldn't have to buy none for a while. I think about 16 or 17 cents is the cheapest I ever bought gas, but it used to be a regular thing less than .20. and you know the thing about it, I had a 67 Chevelle SS 396 cam, big 4 barrell and drove it just like you wouldn't want yer kid driving and still got over 20 MPG. :o :o

Trinity, it probably got tumbled, they put these turkeys in a big drum, looks like a big clothes dryer and tumble them for 6 hours, to tenderrize them, at least that's the way they do it here and I know Honeysuckle White does the same thing, so I'm asuming most do the same.
our turkeys here go to Springdale, Ar. for further processing, that's where they do turkey breasts and several other items. they just do whole turkeys at Ozark.
Well now, that explains it all. It sure was tender. I would have asked my mother if she ordered take out, but I didn't want to be slapped. All my life, she has made a mean dry turkey. 8)

you know we were just talking about the dressing just makes a turkey. ;D
well Jackie has decided that she needs a period correct handle so she's come up with Lazy Dasiy, so I told her I tell everyone, I don't know if she'll ever post any but we'll set her up on her computer and see.
Sounds like just the gal for ol' Trinity. He might just start hitting on her if she starts posting.... that is, as long as Sherlene ain't around. ;D

Our Costco is sometimes cheaper by several cents, but usually only by one or two cents. My tank isn't but about 15 gallons, so I won't waste my time for less than a dollar total savings. I call it the price of convenience.

? Is Homemade Apple Pie acceptable as a nutrious breakfast? Warmed or Room temp?
Absolutely it is. Warmed because it makes the calories mushier and therefore, nearly non-existent. You need to remember your dairy, so add ice cream.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEO!!!
Pie is good anytime, warmed or room temperature.
Miz Annie made the "Cup cake" that OT put up, it ain't bad but ya best use ah BIG cup :o
well I'm glad to hear it worked, I'll just have to make a note on that paper BIG CUP ;D
Needed ah big dip of Yarnell or Blue Bell ;D
You kin put that in yer notes too OT ;)
ah well, I just thought that was a given on cake, pie, cobbler or any such thing as that. ;D ;D
Yep,
I'scream makes ennything better.... ;D
Have ya tried gravy on sawdust? I hear tell that Del is ah master o' that dish. ;) Gravy is ah lot like I'scream. ;D
:o I think I've had some of that sawdust gravy at a coupla diners I've eat at. ;D
Evenin' Fellas,
Happy Birthday Leo!
Happy Birthday, Leo!
Pie is always good fer breakfast warmed or not. ;D
Getting packed fer the weekend shoot. Leaving from work at 5 PM tomorrow. 2.5 hour drive to our friend's house outside Bangor, WI.

Only 30 out right now, and there is this funny white stuff fallen' from the sky!! Ain't supposed to snow in October!!!!! If this keeps up, there will be snow on the pasta at the October Fest in down town Reno this weekend. High of only 45 today, but supposed to be back into the mid 70's by Tuesday.
The only kind of snow I want to see this time of year is on my TV set.
Mornin' pards. Good coffee again this morning, Sleep. Thanks.

Leo happy belated B-day!!
SB I did not know that about road taxes but it makes sense.
Dang I can't wait for next Mattiponi or Richmond area shoot - paying less than three dollars a gallon will make me feel happy!!
Who is shooting where 18-19 Oct??
PR
This is just plain wrong for Oct. 10th. And it ain't lettin' up yet!!!
Russ T, your right, that's just wrong :o :o
it's 72 here with bright sunshine, good thing too, I had a tail shaft break on a feed bin line, we had to take it all apart and run and get the part, we got it all back together now, so all's good.
here's a picture of the shaft and the flex auger, it can turn all the corners with no center shaft to get in the way. the flex shaft is 40 feet long, so it can feed both feed lines.
this is the new piece I had to put on, the part inside the auger flights is what broke, it ran up inside the auger and when it came to the top, everything stopped and it burned the belt off
I see that Jackie called in the maintenance man ;)
News showed two stations in Richmond with regular unleaded for $2.839 today.
Happy belated birthday Leo.
Been in the work dept most the day today, got a new kid up their again, lets say he ain't the brightest I ever seen, had to spoon feed him on puttin' boots away, took him for tries to get them in sequencal order, I told him that's how they go, he'd a been better off to tell me he didn't know that word. ::) Boss asked how he was doin' told him Chad was dumb as a rock, Rob said to spoon feed him if needed, told him I'm gonna end up usin' a pitchfork. :(
Del, Thanks again for giving me a wonderful vacation that I truly needed. When my wife would call she said she could tell a difference in me that she hadn't felt in a long time. I know she's right. Next year can't get here fast enough for me. I really enjoyed meeting Terry and the rest of the employees. The food and the fellowship was great. I look forward to next year.
Miz Annie made blackened catfish and marinated lettuceless salad tonight, mighty good!

Bro. Sleep, The catfish sounds good. I've been hungry for some good catfish. I tried POPeyes, NOT. Still lookin'. I may have to drive to e. Texas and get some David Beard's.

Well we got up to Wade Park yesterday, they did another ultra sound and the biopsy. Got enough of it to suit them this time. Surgeries set up for Oct. 29, she's got to report on the 28th. She'll be there for a couple days and then home for about six weeks to heal up. Then she starts radiation therapy for six weeks, five days a week for a half hour a day. that's a 150 mile round trip, folks. :o ::) We're hoping that they'll work something out so she can get it down here. Other wise it's gonna create a real hardship here. I'm starting to get not so popular behind the big desk at work. I've got to run her up there again on Wednesday for a visit/consultation with the staff Oncologist ::)
Started out at 45 here today, but it got to near 70 by tonight. Calling for mid 70's over the weekend, the "Honey-Do" list is getting long again, so it looks like I'm going to be right busy.
Happy belated Birthday, Leo......................Buck 8) :-\ ;)
OOpppss, almost fergot my manners :o
Howdy, Miz Lil. I see you already met the rest of the cast of characters here. Good friends all, though..........Buck 8) ;)
Buck, I can identify with that driving. I drove to Houston everyweek when my Dad was in MD Anderson for about 6 months before he passed away. I wore out a car but it was worth every mile I drove. I wanted to spend as much time as I could. I know everything will be okay, don't lose faith.

Well off to do some more chores, got to pay for playing with the Holy Black and shooting with my pards last weekend.
I'm here.
Speakin' of ladies, I almost forgot with being busy this week, but just so everyone knows, the last of Annie Lee's strwberry preserves was served to many who knew her from Cas-City in the dining hall last Saturday night on some of my fresh homemade bread, after I explained what it was and where it came from. :'(
Hey, y'all.

Mornin' pards. Thanks for the cup. Sleep.
I'm off to haul another load of wood. Just in time, too, from the looks of things. It was in the upper 30"s when I got up yesterday and again today. Tomorrow, we're going to ride our bikes to Gonzales at 7am. It's a good thing we bought those electric gloves and jacket liners. ;D We did that a couple years ago and it was 42 and foggy. We bought the heated stuff after we thawed out.
haven't needed any heaters here this morning, up to 70 right now, looking for 80 for a high, been out in the baby barns hand feeding em, 90 in there. you can work up a good sweat and not even try.
looks like the big birds will be here an extra week, fresh season starts next week so they'll try to get these to around 17 pounds to start out with, by A week before Thanksgiving they weight will drop down to around 12 to 13 pounds and they'll be taking em at 11 weeks. at least that's the way it usuallly works. ;D
Howdy folks. Thanks fer the cawwfeee, 10zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Weather's great here too. I'm hopin' to make a shoot tomorrow, if the Trinity in me doesn't show too strongly (read sleepy/lazy ;D). I'm spending the late afternoon with mother, so I should be back and in bed at a decent time.
Arcey, just remember: A dollar not saved is a dollar not earned. I love the gun shows, but wish there would be more presence of cowboy guns. I'd love to handle some of the newer offerings instead of drooling all over the keyboard while looking at Gunbroker.
Del, I've got a jar of AnnieLee's preserves here that I just hate to open.

I found a Shell station with Regular for $2.99, which is the cheapest I've seen around here. It's still above $3. most places.
Well, here I are for a little bit. It's sunny and 73 here at the moment. Have windows open ;D
Got those bushes trimmed and the hostas cut down. Finally got the PVC pipe I needed to move the spotlight for the flag pole, had to get 1" dia. to fit the stake on the light fixture, and it's actually somewhat small. I replaced the loose pickets on the fence, too . Susie's busy moving furniture around( her passion). Put the drop leaf table back out in the kitchenette so the dining area is now clear for the christmas tree if she decides to put it there. Just waiting for the next thing on the " honey-do" list to come up.........Buck 8) ::)
Almost forgot, gas this morning at a Murphy's by one of our Walmart's is at $2.61 a gallon. It's dropped price four times since yesterday morniing! I believe thr REP said this is the first time it's been down that low since around summer of 2007 in this area..........Buck 8) :o

Our E-10 is gettin' down to $2.85 or so some places, 87 Octane "Coleman Fuel" is around $3, E-85 is gettin' down to about $2.40. Still want my next one to be flex fuel.
Just figgered out what the heck is goin' on, there is rodeo PBR in town today. (PBR ain't rodeo, they forgot the rest of the rodeo. >:()
You can guess what that draws in. :P
Wish those folks would stay downstairs where the Wrangler PBR shirts and the other stuff like that is, or I'm gonna do it when one tries on a real hat.
"Does this hat make me look dorky?"
Where I want to say, nope, the hat ain't got nuthin' to do with it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Don't know what the price is here taday. Aint been out.
Little Guy exercised the "subject ta change" clause and made some real noise fer a while.
I've handled ma share of babies, but this time I couldn't find the trick. 15 year old strolls in ta grab a snack and says, "look it's easy". Kid was asleep in 30 seconds. Go figure. At least now I know what ta do when the Little Guy won't stop fussin after all other needs have been met.

GO Figure!
My thoughts for Lil.
Rode the cheapo gas road on the way to the show. Wawa there $2.99. The one 'round the corner $3.17. BJ's Club $2.87.
Hear ya on the shows, Trin. There were a couple vendors hawkin' Cimarron's. A few Uberti, Marlin 'n '92s of various manfacture fer lever guns. A number of old beat up doubles Prices weren't all that good.
The Glock accessory folks weren't there. Took the 34 apart for nothin'. Did have the chance ta handle some of the plastic stuff the shop I deal with doesn't carry. I'll be stayin' with the Glocks.
Usually there's an ole boy with nice kitchen knives – weren't there.
Don't really know why Georgia Arms bothered to show up. They might have had a third of what they usually have. The folks I usually spend money on for reloadin' stuff was the same way, didn't bring much.
Damned good prices on AR-15 clones. Picked one up just like I like 'em but at $599.99 I don't trust the quaility. Left it there.
A few neat l'il gadgets would have followed me home had the vendors put prices on 'em. Arcey don't buy nothin' without a price displayed. Was lookin' over some old Lyman moulds. Vendor was a l'il too rude so I walked off without seein' 'em all.
Saw one of the NRA Nazis from the club sellin' raffle tickets. Didn't wanna talk much. He don't like me. Wanted ta know if we shot on 'their' range last weekend. Wake up, dummy. We settled that. First Saturdays it ain't 'your' range. It's ours.
All the old WWII stuff ya could want. I didn't want any.
Anyways, left empty handed....

That's been my experience. No prices and rude sales folks. I'm the same way. If they didn't feel the need to mark it, I don't feel the need to buy it. No need to comment on the rude folks. ::)
Sorry you didn't find anything, but glad you got a chance to go anyway.
... what
is the deal with all the WWII (primarily Nazi) memorabilia at gun shows? That's one reason why the anti gun crowd hates us. One visit to a gun show and they have every right to think we are all Nazi sympathizers because of the sheer volume of the stuff.
I always have a chuckle at the tables. There is a ton of the genuine atricle, but also lots of repros. as well as much 1940s era German civil service (read: not military) and other civilian documentation and identifications. I've never engaged any of the sellers to see if they know what they trying to pass off as militaria is indeed not.
My German isn't very good anymore, and I don't remember enough to read German.
Shows around here have too much of the black gun stuff and military surplus. looks like a Militia show instead. Some have some interesting older stuff, but not in the CAS vein mostly.
Del, remember what I said about not killin' too many ::) :o ;D 8)

Where I want to say, nope, the hat ain't got nuthin' to do with it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
LOLOL ;D
Last gun show we went to up at Ft. Smith didn't do much for me, seemed like more hunting stuff than anything, course it was just before hunting season.
been a nice day here, mid 70's good south wind, lots of sun.
a fella I went to high school with came by to visit, hadn't seen him in the last 15 years but we had kept in touch. had a good visit, he's just retired from school teaching this last year. he's just gettin into Cowboy shooting, lives over around Coweta, Oklahoma.
Well they all wern't dorks, sold a hat and shaped it for a guy, he was up here with 3 others of his kind, not any of the dorky type, fine bunch a young fellas, except a bit on the insane side, yep, bull fighters. :o I like those guys, they have a whole different mannerism and outlook on life. :)
Thankya Arcey, we'll know next week.
Lugers look cool, but I just wouldn't feel right holdin one. Just offed the Mouser ta the neighbor a couple weeks ago. I'm happy as a clam with my domestic stuff. What a snob ::)
A bad day at gun show is better than a good day at work ;D
Leo
I wish I had lots of money to spend, really big Parker collection went up for auction in Grand Island today, guess I'll be huntin' birds one more season at least with my damned heathen pump gun. ::) Wanted a light weight double when I bought it 31 years ago. ;D
Quote from: Trinity on October 11, 2008, 03:08:23 PM
glad you got a chance to go anyway.
Yeah, heck. Glad ta go for the entertainment. Thanks.
All I can think of on the memorabilia are morons anxious ta be snookered or serious collectors lookin' for the one in a thousand thing he doesn't have. I really don't know. Do know the folks around the tables ain't gettin' no thinner. I totally agree it looks awful.
The moulds. Ain't interested in anything that doesn't start with 356, 358 or 365. With out of production Lymans, unless ya have a listin' with ya, ya don't know what the profile is without lookin'. Not to mention it's kindah a good idea ta see if some fool had used the things for a pair if pliers. The vendor had the blocks rubber banded together 'n I was takin' a pair of blocks apart when he chimed in. Told 'im I wanted to see what they were. He comes back with 'read the tag'. End of sales opportunity.
One other thing while I'm borin' everyone to tears. Many of them were sellin' stun guns 'n walkin' 'round settin' the things off. Sounded like ya'd walked into the Keno room in a Las Vegas casino....
Good aftermorning, y'awl!
Buck, I'll be thinkin' of ya'. I ran that road a lot over the years, what with my folks and inlaws both being some 150 to 400 miles away, and us being the only source for help in time of need, as well as our own set to's when we lived out in the boonies. Just take real good care of yourself and try not to get too tired. You all are in our prayers, Pard.
Oh!! Afore I ferget again, welcome Miz Lil. Leo tells me we might have been neighbors, some many years ago. Were you familiar with "Digger" O'Dell? He built that little house down on Frontier with the cupolas on top of the three roof peaks. That is the place we bought in November of '93. You might have moved away by that time, though, and we didn't get to know any of the neighbors much, until we took up permanent residence in late '95.
Lesee! What else?? Oh! Gun shows have gotten to be a joke(?) around here, at least in my opinion. Most of the attendees are the local "Vato's" or "bangers" and wannabees, and the whole thing makes me think of a flea market for paramilitaria. There is an occasional seller with some items of interest to me, but for the most part, they're not all that interesting, anymore.
Weather: RussT, I sure do wish you all up in the great white north would shut the south door; we're freezin' down here. Three in the afternoon, and it's only 59. Two days ago at this time, it was near 90. No precip, yet, just wind, and this absolutely unusual cold air. It's supposed to be Fall; warm days, cool nights. ??? ??? 8)
Think I'll go get myself cleaned up; put on a clean shirt and comb my hairs. My Bride is frontin' me to dinner tonight - 44 years ago, I was taking her to our first "US" dinner.
Later.
Are ya tryin ta say it's yer anniversary, Hairy?
Don't wanna jump the gun but 44 years is somethin ta crow about if that be the case.
I'll ask Lil about the house, but let her type it herself now that she's on the board. Don't wanna be overbearing er nothin ::)
Leo
It was a BEAUTIFUL day to shoot today! ;D
Wish y'all could have been there.....
Wish I could of been there too Sleep!
Leo, got Lil in my prayers, hope all the news is good.
44 years is quite an accomplishment EP!
Stoney, glad to hear you passed the domestication test! ;D
Ever go ta sleep an wake up with somethin stuck in yer head?
Took a little nap this afternoon and came out of it with this. Wasn't sure what thread ta put it in but wanted ta share. Now I gotta see the whole movie again (been awhile).

Good Cawfee and Good shootin' Bro. Sleep.
Mornin' pards. Thanks for the cup. It goes good on a cold morning. It was 38° when I looked out at 7:30. No, I didn't go riding. Too many things to catch up on to spend the whole day on a ride. We'll take our bikes out somewhere for lunch.

Sounds like ya did dern fine there Mr. Sleep :)
I gets ta plink taday at the outdoor. 30-30's gonna have ta stay home this trip due ta ammo costs, but we'll have plenny of fun with the .357s. Boy will have his .22 rifles, so we can snag one of those when we run out ;D
It's gettin ta be oatmeal weather 'round here. Tolt the kids I wouldn't light the pilot fer the heater till they started closen' the door behind 'em when they go in and out. They don't seem ta think I'm serious. Guess thier toes er gonna turn blue if they cant figgur it out ::) Such are the lessons of life.
Anyhow, hope all have a good day.

Hey OT, What's a good price for one of those SOCOM 308 rifles?
Day didn't start good. Got real good awhile ago.
Days ago the fat lady was next door talkin' with the widow Glenn. Went in the house 'n the door from the garage to the utility room wouldn't close much less latch. Told 'er it'd been that way for months. Said I'd look at it when I saw 'er.
Anyways I see 'er comin' home from Church 'n went over. Pull the door open 'n I see the door's chewed up 'n the bolt plate's scratched all up. Look at the frame 'n the lower strike plate screwed backed out 'n it's jammed in the frame at an angle so the door couldn't shut.
Went 'n got my small screw driver kit. Pried the screw out 'n screwed it back in right but the wood was so tore up I pulled it out with my thumbnail. Have a pile of 2" dry wall type screws intended for outdoor use. Gold wash on 'em. Grabbed the cordless. Derned screw bit good wood 'n drew up pretty. Almost matched the countersink in the plate.
Door shuts. Lockset engages. She's thrilled 'n I've got a grin what's gonna last the rest of the day.
Thankee, Lord!
Howdy folks. Thanks fer the coffee, 10zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I finished the rest of it, kinda thick, so I put another pot on the fire. Someone watch that it doesn't boil over.
Beautiful day here today, but didn't get to go shooting. I forgot to turn on the alarm clock. :-[ Oh well, got plenty of things that need done here.
TLD, sent ya a pm, also check out Springfields site, mght give ya some ideas.

72 here, clouds rolled in and it feels pretty good, we got all the rings pulled out of the baby turkey houses, the little birds are running all around and finding their comfort zones. seemed like they are enjoying the freedom.
Thanks for the offer OT, but I don't want the hassle. The way I treat my alarm clock some mornings would have the folks at PETA all over me in a heartbeat. :o

Saw in the paper that Chesterfield Co has a "prawn farm."
Seems this place is about 5 miles from the house so we went and "harvested" some prawns.
Old Bay, garlic, lil butter.... DELICIOUS! ;D
Much cheaper than shrimp in tha stores too.

Tonight we have a lemon/lime mousse.... sugar free, no fat, low cal, still very tasty.... I doan know how she does it or where she found it.
Worked on the "cave" some this afternoon...Montana suggested we go to town for supper. She had scallops shrimp and pasta I had a Philly cheese steak with a nice salad. Their desserts looked wonderful, but i ate till I was uncomfortable.. Now I'm reading the Lemon Lime moose and thinkin' I should brought dessert home with me
Want me to save some til I see ya again Roo? ;D
Ellie sure liked it. ;)
I bet it was good, we had grilled some country ribs and Tri-Tips, sure was tasty, course a little ice cream will be good. seems like that's the problem when yer eating out, no room left fer dessert

I can identify with that. We'll go ta a resturaunt and look over the menu. Lil will look at the deserts and get all excited. She likes the one called Terimisu or whatever. By the time we's done with the actual meal, desert aint in the cards. Always feel bad she didn't get her treat, but bringin food home ta this house is futile. It disappears with an extraodinary quickness.
Got ta go out an chuck lead taday :D Lil's new rifle is a sweetheart. Amazing what pistol rounds can do from a lever gun, I'm very glad we got it. I'm afraid ta face the 30-30, as it is still stewing in the closet after being left behind. I'll have ta buy it some flowers an candy er somethin ;D

Sadly, no.... I questioned Miz Annie, seems she got a pack of "stuff" from a girlfriend. Just add skim milk and freeze.
It was from a multipak, she says that she doesn't even know how long she has had it in the pantry.
We are going to ask Sharon so we can look for it.
Thank you kind sir.
TLD, I had a mini 14 for awhile, killed several coyotes with it but I got to craving a 22-250, so it went in the trade, the M1A sure shoots nice, even with just the peep sights, still looking into scopes, hardly any kick to it, you can get back on target real quick.
Jackie's always trying some dessert she's got the reciep to. she gets a coupla food magazines and they've always got something to try, we're waiting on gettin some pecans cracked and picked out for a couple she has.

My kinda lady. ;D You can have a good meal any time but a good dessert is a real treasure.
OT, I'm gonna look into a used one if I can find one. I had to qualify with an M14 in the Army. They let us shoot one Mag out of an M16 and that was it. I like the looks of the Socom 16 instead of the other model. I wanted something that didn't look like something out of Star Wars.

Really wanna talk ta 'im. The violation(s) were discovered last week. On the rental property I sold June 30th. Hehehehehehehe..... Can't wait ta hear it. I should tape the conversation.
It's a Section 8 deal. Nice of the gooberment ta look out fer the folks they compel ya ta rent to when they're the ones who go in 'n tear the place up.
Off ta errands. Ta Ta.

CALMNESS IN OUR LIVES
I am passing this on to you because it definitely works and we could all
use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard
on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr Phil proclaimed,
'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have
started and have never finished.' So, I looked around my house to see
all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house
this morning, I finished a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Zinfandel, a
bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a bottle of Kailua, a package of
Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake,
some Doritos, and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freaking good
I feel right now.
Please pass this on to those whomever you think might be in need of inner
peace.
Sounds like someone is gonna need an Alkaselzer shortly.
;D
Happy Birthday Texs Lawdog!
How do Ah Hate OSHA, Let Me Count The Ways. :-[

Most of my issues dealt with Civil Service and having to jump through the hoops for them.
Had a new job site startin up. They found lead in the dirt, so nothin could happen til the stuff was removed. In the process a backhoe cracked the sidewalk--a section of sidewalk that was ta be removed fer the driveway ta go in. Inspector says, "ya gotta fix that sidewalk before you can proceed". I says, "but part of proceedin is rippin the whole dang thing out anyway".
No soap, this guy was out ta flex his city appointed muscles. So a bunch a guys got paid ta fix it, then watch it get demolished. Makes ya wanna bang yer head 'ginst the wall.

Not gonna stick around very long, I just realized I've been sitting in front of this "infenal machine" for over two hours; how time flies.
Later.
Happy Birthday TLD, got yer message, may try ya later.
TLD, too bad you an the rest of the fella's & gals ain't here, we'd run over to Big Jakes and tie on the feed bag.
been a nice day here today, up to 74 for a high, lots of clouds and south winds, still callin for a chance of showers tomorrow. been out in the shop working on some steel cutouts and running back and forth checking the little birds temps. that sun coming out and going in makes it tough to maintain a constant temperature.
they weighed the big birds today, averaged 14.5 lbs, it'll be at least a week before they go out, should weigh 16 pounds or more easy. ;D
I got a card in the mail for a free dinner at Red, Hot, and Blue BBQ. So we're gonna eat BBQ tonight. I got another card for a free Buffet at a snazzy Mexican place in Ft. Worth tomorrow night. Big Jake's would be good OT, I'm plannin a trip to Branson in the near future.
Cooked some burgers out on tha Aussie charcoaler, mighty good....
baked beans an' some fruit salad later....
can ya say F U L L ? ::)
well now ya know, no matter how full ya are right now,,,,,,,, after while a little ice scream will be a good little nite snack fore ya go ta bed. ;D
Really didn't need that.......
A roast in the crockpot. 'Taters, carrots 'n celery. Took what we wanted then wasn't much left so I took that too. She was heatin' up some that Weight Watchers vegetable soup she made yestiddy. Made the house smell like corned beef 'n cabbage 'n liked at drove me nuts. I ate the good stuff outta it while she weren't in the kitchen. Almost left 'er with squash soup.
First time the pot's been used since last winter. Roast pulled apart with a fork. Damn that was good. I'm stuffed.

It's crock pot season!
You got yer chilli, strogenoff, Irish stew an acourse the roasts. That's how we did the pulled pork on ma birthday. After all these years Lil still asks "don't we have ta put some water in the bottom?" No mamn, cooks up fine just like that.
Leo
Leo, the next time you do a pork roast in a crock pot try pouring a bottle of Root Beer over it first, then put the lid on it and let it rip. It comes out with a wonderful flavor that is complimented by the BBQ sauce of your choice ;) ;)
Major, Cooking with the Root Beer sounds interesting.
I'll try that Maj. It'd be fun ta do that an make a 7-up cake fer desert :D
The root beer idea sounds great. It would go well with ma favorite sauce, KC Masterpiece.
Leo
I need to get a new crock pot.
Get the big oblong one, 6 quart I think. You can fit some big stuff in there and have leftovers fer many lunches ta come.
I love mine.
Leo
I swear you guys just talk about food to make me hungry when I get home from work ;D ;D ;D
Tex I'd agree about the oblong crock pot, I use the old one to store and melt my lube. Sort of like a sour dough starter container.
Quote from: Leo Tanner on October 13, 2008, 08:27:13 PMIt's crock pot season!
Leo, this is California. It's always crackpot season.
;D
I've always cooked pot roast with beer. The flavor is outstanding. I think San Miguel would even work for that but I wouldn't try it with a large piece just in case it turned into dog food.
To the people who make San Miguel, dog is food :o

Cook at 400F for 1 hour then at 225F for 5-6 hours, usually overnite. Comes out tender and tasty ;D
I've used the bourbon an' Coke in the crockpot with roast too, really good on slo cooked beef ribs.
<slurp> Good!
Thanks for the cawfee, Tensleep. It's gonna be another long day.
Thanks for the Coffee
63 this morning, cloudy with a chance of showers today, mid 70's for a high
and besides using it on the Brisket, that Burbon and Coke always can be used fer medicinal purposes if needed.
Mornin', y'all.
54/100% 'n a l'il hazey. Sayin' 79 'fore the day's done.
Off ta the Dent's ta get some old Bondo cut out 'n new stuff smeared in. Look out checkbook!
Good luck at the Dentist office, Arcey.
Thanks for the coffee Tensleeps.
Tex yes, I've been to the Phillipines to and from and was stationed in Calif. where you could buy S.M.
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Tensleep.

Did ya clean the Star with those 2?
I was hoping for a star, but they didn't have one. The only stars I shot with a shotgun were in VA. 'Round here we shot 'em with pistols. I don't do as well as with a shotgun. ::)
'Tis 35 and sunny. Got a little rain overnight. High of 63.

I doan woan ah steady diet o' 35 an' below, but it ain't bad onct in ah while. ;)
35 is way better than 95 with 95% humidity, at least you can dress for a day of 35!
Thanks for the coffee Sleep!

OH YEAH!!
Freeze ya like a Popsicle! :o
Try bein' on a hill top at about 15 degrees, with a stiff breeze, Arcey. Kinda gets yer trigger finger right stiff and numb. :o ::) not to mntion makes the actions kinda tricky to work. Oh yeah, mouse phart loads ain't a good idea then either. That's our January and Feruary shoots. March is a toss-up. ::) :-\
Afternoon all. Was 50+ this morning here and sunny. Callin' for the upper 70's here yet today.
I need a bigger crockpot meownself,as long as the crock part is removeable. This morning's run was interesting, considering that we had a FULL moon out :o Our little Houdini added a new trick to his repertouir( SP?). Little stink er not only tried to get out of his harness, but started to strip too. Shoes and socks I can handle, but when he went for the button on his shorts, that's when I got my arm in the way and told him "Not on this bus, you don't"! >:( And this was while holding on to the back of the wearer's part of the harness to keep him in his seat area. Also, my idea to keep him from releasing the seat part of the setup only lasted bout 30 seconds after he got on board. Had the strap turned so the button was against the seat back. ittle stinker got his finger under anyway and dropped it :o.............Buck 8) ::) :-X
Sounds like you have your hands full, Buck. I commend you for patience.
70 here with a few showers comin and goin, almost got ta have yer raincoat on. supposed to cool off over the next coupla days
when we get the baby birds, they come in boxes with straw padding in the bottom of the box, we have to take the padding out and dispose of it, they recommend burning it to get rid of any disease it might carry so usually when we take out the cardboard rings we just burn the whole mess, it's been a good morning to burn, no wind, plenty of humidity and a little lite rain around to keep it from going anywhere, I love to burn stuff anyway,
got that from my grandma I think. ;D
BON FIRE!!!
Must be OU v OSU weekend! ;)

Gotta say taday aint ma favorite day of the year. Gonna jus try an cruise thru it like usual. You all seem ta do a dang good job of keepin my spirits high :) Enough of that.
I hate the dentist Arcey. Lil's been tryin ta get me ta go fer some time but I always find an excuse ta skip out ::) Got no pain in there as of yet so I figgur leave well enough alone. One of ma rear molars lost a fillin some time ago and by now has been reduced to a fang. It's very usfull fer chewin thru tough meat, so I don't want em messin with it. I'm sure I'll live ta regret it.

Leo
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Looks like yardbird salad fer supper, can't wait. ;D
well Leo, Jackie likes lighting them fires too, says she never got to before out in California :o
we ran down and went to the Mexican Place then by wally world, picked up some more light bulbs. we go through a lot of em. we've got around 140 of em burning every night when we have little and big birds, seems like we always got some going out.
rained a little here while we were gone, less than quarter inch, still hanging at about 70
We still got sanctioned burn days up here, but I think the days er numbered. Spent many a night around a bonfire in this area. Some of em was so big the Hubble sattelite prolly got photos ;D Hopefully I weren't in none of em. ::)

Nice camp fire, OT. :D
I try to hold myself back when campin' with others, but too I love to burn stuff. ;D ;D ;D
They go county by county up here when we have burn bans, it's been such a wet year, we haven't had any but usually in the dead of the summer we can't burn and sometimes if it's a dry winter.
Have a friend down the road, he says his Grandfather used to set the Forrest on fire every earlly spring, said one time it went 8 miles to the Mulberry river before they got it under control, luckily there's nothing between here and there. if It didn't damage anything I'd like to see the underbrush burn out in the forrest, it's gettin awful thick under there.
Also a good way ta get critters on the run in yer sights.
Leo
would be nice if you could see a little ways in there, right now 50 yards is a long shot in the forrest, you can hear stuff running around, but ya can't see anything, lots of hogs out there if you could see em. ;D
OT, Burn, baby, burn ;D
Well, this afternoon's run was somewhat better, he just got out of the harness BEFORE we left the school. One of the handlers brow-beat him back into it. Our other small PITA, noticed the boo-boo on the back of my hand, he pointed it out and I told him yes I had one but didn't know how I got it. He bent over and kissed it, then smiled at me. This one is a Down's kid.
It's sprinkled a little off and on since sometime this afternoon, but I still managed to get the yard mowed/leaves up after dinner ::) :-\
Wade Park again tomorrow afternoon, visit with the Oncologist. Hopefullly we can get some traction to get it done down here(radiatiion)...........Buck 8) ::)
Buck, hope you can get it moved closer, sounds like them kids would me enough to make ya crazy. :o it sure would take a lot of patenice that I just don't have.
have to stick with turkeys ;D
I find it much easier to be patient with troubled kids than stupid adults.
But still, that's got a be a tough job Buck has. God bless him ;)

Yeah, normally, but I was running on about 5 hours sleep so I'll be able to knock down a good night's sleep anyway. ;)
The Buffet at the Mexican Place in Fort Worth was a mad house. Found out it was FREE when we got there. Too much riff raff. Food was good but drinks were pricey. Stayed until about 8:30 and left. Home by 9:00.

Wer're gonna make most of the Christmas preasants this year, all the kids er old enough ta figure out if they're gonna 'preciate em or pout. I aint layin no bets, but we'll see how it goes.
Leo
Well, well. Whutcha know? The Trinman shares his b'day with my grandgirl.
Many more healthy 'n happy ones, Big Dood. May you enjoy many years of sleepin' in the woods 'n scratchin' bug bites.
I had enough of that sleepin' in the woods when I was in the Army, and no tents either.

Nice weather here this morning, so the straw boss and I have been working on the "Cave". Been going slow in progress but I/we've had no major diasters and all mistakes are caught before it's to late. Till today. Ouch Ouch Ouch I was hanging "hurricane straps", for the roof joist this morning. Using the reccommended "Teak" nail. ....OUCH that 23 oz framer with fresh waffels hurts.....not only once but twice on same finger.>moumentem< I Couldn't get my brain to stop the second blow, now it's bleeding!Ouch!
I figger I'm 5 weeks behind now I wanted to be wiring and insulated by now. Work seems to get in the way of my pleasures..then I know I couldn't afford the pleasures without the work....Damn Catch 22.

Gonna be gettin stuff togeather today so I can take of tomorrow for the weekend shootin. ;D
It's cool here this morning and it looks like more rain today.
Miz Annie is thinkin' 'bout this cooler weather.
She's on one of her cookin' frenzies... ;D
We got navy beans on tha stove, ham in tha oven an' ah apple pork roast in tha crock pot.
Talkin' 'bout a big pot of chicken soup too...
Think she's gonna fill tha freezer again. ;D
Had a hot meal last evenin'. Won't tonight. Thinkin' on goin' ta Farm Fresh 'n puttin' a couple salads tagether 'fore the fat lady get's here.
Damned if I ain't longin' for stews, soups, chili 'n such.
Good afternoon folks. It's been a right busy day. Sadly my overtime just disappeared as the boss forgot to tell the guy I was covering for he could have the day off. Since he did not hear the time was granted he cancelled his appointment and will be here in 30. :(
Oh weill. I guess I'll go and fix my mom's computer. ::) Actually it's not a fix. Here Norton is expired today and I'm installing AVG for her. ;D
Mornin' Thanks for the coffee, Sleep.

That's what I did on mine. AVG immediately found two trojan horses that Norton couldn't. No telling how long they were on there, but my computer sure sped up after that. Good move, Stoney.
Oh, yeah. Be sure to delete all Norton files afterward because I kept finding viruses and such in there until I finally got rid of them. I guess some of these things are written specifically to attach to Norton files so they can't be found.

All that sounds good Bro. Sleep.
Hey All.
Boy, them winter foods are great :D Hear's a tip if yer makin chicken soup. Boil the bones fer a full 24 hours ta make yer stock. It works all the marrow out an I'm tellin ya, it's the best yardbird soup you'll ever have. Ya can freeze it an since it's just stock, it can be worked inta other recipes.
My confuser still has it's but hanging out in the wind. I been using Windows Defender (free) and run spybot and registry fix now an then. No problems fer over a year. Machine likes ta tell me I'm unprotected at start up, but I feel secure. I don't open no spam email so that prolly helps too. Do they really think they're foolin anyone when the subject says "you've inherited a million dollars" and the senders name is some barister from South Africa or even just an incoherrant jumble of letters. Even funnier is when the subject is "my full breasts are pouting for you" and the sender is a guy's name. I'm sure there are folks that open this garbage, but I guess they get what they deserve.
Leo
Arcey you need a couple of cool salads, it's 86 out there right now! :o
Yeah, 'tiz. Pulled the widah Glenn's 2 'n my 3 cans in. Hair's damp 'n so's my t-shirt.
Decided ta wait fer her. Turned out she has a hair-do appointment. She's gonna get two shrimp salads on the way back....
My hair do appoinments consist of me settin in a dinin room chair while Lil mans the clippers. Sometimes I'll cut her dead ends er what ever they call that frizzy part at the bottom. We aint given money ta a barber in years.
Arcey, any way ya can make that 3 shrimp salads? I'll share one with ma wife ;D
Leo
I'm here been in WD today, got a new kid up there, good thing he wasn't there today, tolt the boss if I ever get that stupid and lazy I'm gonna stand in front of a coal train. ::) Don't 'spectr him to be here long, bosses ain't happy with him either.
We went with the apple cooked pork roast tonight. Baby limas, carrots an' cooked apples for sides. ;D

Evenin' folks. Thanks fer the wishes. I'll be celebratin' this weekend with my family (mother: 9/30, brother 10/10... and the odd ball, sister: 4/24).
With all these birthdays at this time of year, it seems to me that some parents were working on "keepin' warm" in December and January. ;D
I would like to go campin' next weekend, let's see what the weather does. Definitely planning to go camping with the rev war folks veterans day weekend. There will be an encampment of military through the ages, rev war through today. I heard that in past years it has been very nice. I'll be sure to bring back pictures.
all of it sounds like some mighty good eatin, when we were out this afternoon we stopped by Pizza Hut and got some pizza and a salad, pretty good stuff. Clea, Bear and Marvin sent us out after some Dog food. ;D
supposed to get down low 40's maybe in the high 30's here, coolest we've had so far. I'm ready for it to go back up now. :o
Trinity, glad to hear yer going to celebrate with your folks, hope ya have a good time camping, better take yer Reveloutionary long handles. :o

How? I uninstalled it using the complete uninstall program. Is there more I needed to do? I have not gotten any viruses during scans with AVG yet.
Go inta yer progam files folder Stoney. Make sure there aint nothin with the word Norton left. It's almost as bad as AOL or a vampire. Once it's invited inta the house, it's tough ta shake.

Been packing fer chasing those Chinese Chickens in SD. Gonna leave after verk tomorrow. Drive to the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St Paul) to my brother's house. Get there about 11 pm. Dropping the family off. Jump in his truck and drive another 5+ hours. Good thing chasing doesn't start 'til noon each day. ::) We'll be back Tuesday afternoon. Then I'll work three 10-hour days next week.

I ordered my version online. I still had the install file in my downloads. I don't recall if there were any folders left over after the uninstall but be sure to check. In addition, my backups and temp files had Norton stuff in them. All that kept the things regenerating. Drove me nuts for a few days.
It ought to be gettin' about pheasant season in Texas. Always good huntin' up in the Panhandle of Texas where I'm from.
Mornin' folks ;D cool front supposed to arrive today

Before today is over I will have wiped 71 PC's and reloaded them with XP professional. These are all off lease and are headed back.
In a few short weeks we'll have almost 300 new PC's that all need to be loaded. Job security. At least for the immediate future.
COLD rain set in about 15 minutes ago, dropped them temp 5 degrees in 5 minutes... :o
Mornin' y'll....Thanhks for the coffee Tensleeps, this is the kind of morning it taste good.
54 here slight breeze and light rain, guess I won't mow this morning ;D............May get back to the "Cave' for a couple of hours. or wwatch a western. See what the rain does first
Thanks fer the Hot Coffee, need a little of it
38 this morning, got up let the dogs out and heard the feed line running loud, knew right off it was backed up to the shutoff micro switch in the bin. hated to just get up outa wanm bed, get dressed, jump on the 4 wheeler and go riding down there and get it un plugged. the cold does wake ya up right good, went over checked the little birds after fixin the feed line, they was all warm and toasty, 85 degrees, came on back home for the coffee.
callin for near 70 for highs today, warm up through the weekend and into next week. I'll take as much warm as I can get. ;D
Mmmmmm, coffee sure is good this mornin Sleep.
Tomorrow is supposed to be cool and rainy here, sounds like a perfect day to reload!
Had "Killer" out for her 2nd trip, Nice and cool, drinking my second cup. She jerks me half out of the chair. Seems a Possum was behind the neighbors Propane tanks. Killer, wanted to live up to her name. I made her leave it. Too close to other homes so it's Possums lucky day. Or I'd took care of it.
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Tensleep.

'Tis 25 and clear. "Cloudy skies with a few showers this afternoon. High 57F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 30%."
Here's the forecast for Huron, SD (http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/ski/tenday/USSD0164?from=36hr_topnav_ski).
Del, my back cracker left for the Valetine, NE area on Wednesday for bird hunting.
See y'all later. I might check in before Tuesday.
Slim
Mornin' pards. Thanks for the coffee, Sleep.
It was 91 here yesterday. We're supposed to have similar temps today. It's 58 on the porch right now. That's a far cry from the upper 30's we had last week.
huhuhuhu...we'll be eating Chineese chicken soon....ummmmm
Slim have fun and be safe
Slim, Have fun on the pheasant hunt. Ot, I hope you don't have any feed line problems this morning. Thanks for the cawffee this morning Bro. Sleep. LR, keep a tight rein on "Killer" this morning. Arcey, enjoy your weather today. It's cool outside this morning, the sun is comin' out and it looks like a pretty day today.
no big time feed line problems, when they get this big, they eat about 2 1/2 tons of feed per house per day, the feed has a lot of fat in it and if it sticks a little everything stops, so we kinda have to watch it close the last week or so. one little bang on the tube and it's started again.
today was the last day of hand feeding the baby birds it's all ya can eat Buffett now. sure glad to get done with that, backs pretty stiff from all that bending over the last week and half.
up to about 55 so far, plenty of sunshine, supposed to be near 70 for a high,
got BBQ on the mind this morning, may have to go down to Ozark and tie one on, Kevin and his wife (owners of the BBQ place) have been in New York City all this last week, the people they buy thier supplies from send them on Vacation for a week every year if they use them exclusivly, so they picked NYC this year.
tolt him I didn't know if I'd go if I had the chance. ain't never lost nothing up there.
BBQ sure sounds good....Since PR and I missed our "Uncle Bob's" earlier this week, think I'll stop there for some supper to take to work.....Love some biscuits and eggs and sausage gravy for supper. ;D ;D ;D
Hey!
Boy's, this is my kindah weather. Bank sign sez it's 62, should be a couple degrees either way ah that. High o'vecast. No shadows anywhere 'n a cool breeze. Went on errands in my standard Vice 'n Narcotics summer uniform. Just felt flat nice.
Don't know what's on the menu. Want the steak I got waitin' but that's for tomorrow when the fat lady is in King George. Pizza 'n garlic knots sounds good.
I had a late breakfast this morning, probably will skip lunch. Friday night is Pizza night. Still cool outside, sun is till tryin' to shine, and no rain. T likes this kind of weather, she's lyin' on the patio.
Hey All.
Catfish was good last night. Cooked up some green beans in worshetere and cider vinagar with a little lemmon pepper. Nice meal, but never got ta the rice.
Adult kids is bleedin us dry. Run the truck outta gas this mornin, parked it an left on foot. I had ta walk a gas can down ta the station ta get it goin again. 5 months now an they aint paid a dime ta the cause. Think it's time fer them ta move along. I hate bein harsh, but hate bein used even more.
Leo
Living with you cause times are hard is one thing Leo, but they got to learn to pay their way. If it's too easy on them they got no incentive to ever leave. i went through all that when my SIL enlisted in the Navy and my daughter was pregnant with their first child. She stayed with us then he got out of Boot and A school and figured they would stay awhile. The missus and I finally had to set them straight. While they were living with us they were expected to contribute to groceries and household bills. And we finally had to give them a deadline to get set up with Navy housing.
The economy is tough but they still need to learn that there are no "free" lunches. My SIL asked me once that if I had a chance to move in with my parents and take it easy wouldn't I do it? I told him that my father would have kicked my but all the way to the employment office if I tried something like that. I also to him that when I was in my late teens the goal was to find a job and get out on your own as soon as you could. I don't understand the mentality today that some of the youth have where they seem to think it's our job to take care of them forever!
AH! The things I miss by not havin' kids!
I couldn't agree more Irish. I was outta the parents house an on my feet at 17. When they moved away an offered fer me ta go with em I said thankya no. Never went back other than on visits. I'm proud of that, and a few years later my Dad told me he was proud of me fer it too. Hearin that made all the Top Ramen nights absolutley worth it.
Leo
I stayed at home between semesters and during the summer. After college, went in the Army, then became Cop and never moved back.
Never did have the urge to go back home when I got out for just a little bit. seems like that's what you were working at back then, sure is a different story with the young'ens today.
well that BBQ was sure nuff good, been a coupla weeks since we'd been there , sat next to a fella that was telling the owner how he had been in a little fender bender up at Fort Smith yesterday and while he and the other guy was waiting on the Police, they got to talking about eatin, the guy that had run into him told him about Rivertowne BBQ in Ozark, so he came on down this afternoon to try it out.
he was from out of town and conducting some training out at Fort Chaffee with a Navy Unit. said he was a civilian instructor. Asked him where he was from, said Virginia Beach Va. had got out of the Navy and him and his wife had lived there ever since.
Shore wish we'd been there with y'all OT....
us po' folks had ta git by with Navy bean an' ham soup. ;)
wish ya'all could'a been there too, it sure was some good eatin. although them navy beans and ham are mighty good too. a little cornbread would'a wentt along good too.
Jackie's got a MAWFC in the oven right now, bought some Yandell's ice cream to go along with it, should be ready in bout half an hour.
I hate to ask, but what flavor MAWFC?
sorry, I missed this until now, went to check birds and came back and the cobbler was done and, and, and the rest was just a blurr ice cream and apple cobbler going everywhere. but mostly in my mouth. ;D

Really sorry I wasn't there
Yep it would'a been a good time, Clea and the boys got em a bite of ice cream at the end of the dessert. ;)
worked out in the shop for several hours today, got a lot done. one of the neighbors came by this afternoon, got to do some welding on his truck tomorrow, he's been trying to put a dump end gate in his truck and is having an awful time, he told me what he was trying to do, what he really wanted was an end gate just like on my old Soybean truck, hinged at the top and swing out. so I told him to bring it over and we'd see what we could do about getting it fixed. he's got all the metal in place just needs hinges welded on in the right places.
BBQ is always good. I had it Monday night for my Birthday supper. Cobbler is always good, no matter what flavor. I've never eaten Yarnell's ice cream. I've beeen a Blue Bell man most of my adult life. I found a new Catfish place in GP of all places. The fish was great.

Now if we could just find a good way ta BBQ catfish... heaven I tell ya. it would be heaven :)
Leo
This BBQ place we went to is called Red, Hot and Blue. They specialize in Memphis style BBQ and they have Catfish on the menu, either fried(my favorite), blackened, or grilled.
We'z in Bloomington, MN at my brother's house. Got here at 11:38 pm. We'z staying 'til 6 am. We need ta be at Mellum, SD at 10:30 am. My brother is playing Lord of the Rings online.

Thanks, pard.
Slim
Gud moanin' gerls...............
HOT CAWFEE!!
I'll look after things here Slim :D ::)
Have a wunnerful time.
Mornin'.
A l'il drizzle out. Mid-fifties. Nice. The fat lady'll be on the way ta King George inna while. Be nice if somebody was holdin' a shoot werth goin' to but ya can't have it all.
Speakin' ah which, Black Creek has 'em some new Kook-sees. Taday's menu:
Swedish meatballs with egg noodles
Pulled pork barbecue
Braised cabbage
Sauteed green beans with grape tomatoes
Red-skinned potato salad
Chocolate fudge
Chocolate fudge with nuts
Sweetened and unsweetened tea
They're sayin' six bucks, all ya kin eat.
That braised cabbage might be a little "gasy".
Thanks fer the Coffee
a little warmer this morning 48 degrees, supposed to get into the mid 70's for a high
they offer smoked catfish down here at the BBQ place, never have tried it but have heard some peple braggin on it. just always had ma catfish fried.
Heck, OT. Whudcha got ta lose?
Helped the fat lady get goin'. House ta myself 'til tomorrow evenin'.
A l'il gas ain't a problem. Just get real close ta 'Sleep 'n let go.......
well I guess I could get a sample of it, our little waitress, Amber is always bringing us a taste of the new items on the menu, last time it was the Possum & dumplin's, it was Italian sausage meat balls, reallly tastey. ;D
OT, I'm with you on the catfish. I like fried the best, the blackened isn't bad, the grilled doesn't have any flavor. I guess I'm so used to eatin' them fried that I don't like anything else.
Thanks for the coffee Sleep.
Damp and chilly out, every joint in my body feels like someone beat on it with a baseball bat.
We had fog this mornin' could only see about a 1/2 block when I left, was not just down in my creek bottomarea, was all the way to work and still there. Not common around here.
She made it ta King George without a problem. Just called. Good.
Sorry ta hear, cuzzin' Tom. Ankle, knee ner back is botherin' me. Lovin' this weather. Thinkin' it's gonna be a bullet makin' day.
Eased over to Richmond to tha gunshow...
Saw two Ruger 3 screws, 3 97s, couple o' used Vaqueros an' not much else 'cept autos an' black guns.
Lotta folks carryin' used high power rifles with "fer sale" tags on 'em.
Did see a new Stevens 411 double that kinda caught my eye. No sign of a Stoeger anywhere.
Saw primers from $25/1000 to $35/1000
no doubt about it, colder weather just hurts more than it used to. After 11 or 12 days of hand feeding ya always got a spot in yer lower back that just don't want to bend too fast. picked up the last of the trays today, so not as much bending down now.
up to 52 here with bright sunshine. lite wind switched around outa the south. ought to warm up a little with that.
gotta go out and open up the shop get ready to do a little work.
about deer season, lots of rifles show up for sale around here, papers usually got several ads for em, the local radio station has a "for sale" call in program, I've noticed a lot of rifles being called in on there to.
Mornin Y'all, 48 an sunny here, high of 60, went below freezin last night :o sure aren't ready fer that... >:( >:(
Mornin' pards. Thanks for the cup, Sleep.
That's a fine menu, Arcey. Makes me want to make the run over there. ;)
We had a short rain this morning. Nothing exciting, but it came down fairly steady for a while. The weather guys completely missed that one.
Afternoon, all. Was 47 when I got up, it's 51 now ,partly cloudy. We've got frost and freeze warnings up for tonight. Got the mower out and sucked up the leaves in the yard, and then changed the oil in the snowblower and loosened the hood so's I could get the plug out to check the number( Champ. RJ 19 LM). cleaned it while it was out, was kinda sooty. As usual, got too much oil in it( looked it up, finally. Takes 21 oz., shoulda done that first ::) ). While I was at it , looked up the gap for the plug too ( .030 ). Decided to try the elec. start since the last time I tried it didn't work. First try nothing, wiggled the plug at the switch, wammo! I got electric start again ;D . Coulda used that last year when we had that BIG snow, my back still remembers that shoveling when the dang thing wouldn't start with the pull cord ::) >:(
We hink we got Sandy all set for her radiation after surgery now. She'll take the VA van up on Monday mornings, stay all week at Brecksville VA, and then take the van home on Fridays. Told her to think of it as six one week vacations in a row, she'll get three squares a day while there, plus have access to medical care if she needs it during the week. Have her own room, use of her cell phone, and TV. So it shouldn't be too bad. They'll shuttle her between Brecksville and Wade Park during the week for her treatments. all we have to cover now is getting her to the pick-up point on Mondays, and picking her up on Fridays............Buck 8) :-\ ;)
Buck glad to hear you guys have things worked out to your liking, just another thing you don't have to worry about. I know it's gonna be tough on everybody but at least you got some of working for ya.
and haven't ya always wondered why they make something that holds odd amounts, ??? :o takes just a little over 2 quarts for the 4 wheelers, mower takes just a little over a quart, ???
up to 68 here, get out in the sunshine and it feels hot compared to what we've had the last few days.
got the neighbors truck tailgate put in and all the filler pieces cut and welded in place, all he's got to do now is put a few bolts in his hinges and he'll be ready to haul some gravel.
Those are all great songs and they all have a great story to tell. Thanks, Del.

God bless you and Sandy Buck. The sepparation is no fun when yer used ta havin someone around all the time, but you seem ta have good grip on it. They'll take good care of her. As always, prayers for you guys.

We sorta slept in this morning. Thanks for the Cawfee Bro. Sleep. I hope everyone has fun shootin' at movin' and non-movin targets. Enjoyin' that good Cawffee and wakin' up. We're takin' Miss T to the park for her mornin' run after Cawfee.
Exactly what I did, slept in. Some friggin' drunk called this mornin' 'n woke my ass up. Went back to sleep. I got the number. He'll get a wake up when he doesn't want it.
Mid fifties out. Winds blowin' right stiff. Gusts o'er 30.

Y'all have a good day.

Thanks for tha coffee, was right chilly out at the farm, the wind cut right through you. Home now, waiting for a nicce hot pizza to arrive.
That's one thing I really missed when we moved up here, too far from town to deliver pizza. :( :( gotta drive to go get it.
well ya remember the first of the week we had that auger shaft break and had to replace the tailshaft, son of ***** (gun), if it didn't happen again on another one, been here going on 11 years never happened before, now 2 of em in a week. we had picked up a second one the other day, one of them just in case deals. guess that was a good thing. got that replaced and working again,

Ain't makin no promises on the behavin ::)
Leo
We cooked breakfast on the gas grill on the patio this morning. Nothin' like smellin' eggs and bacon cookin' outside. Good coffee too. T likes it when we spend time with her on the patio. Looks like the Cowboys are really in a funk, letting the Rams beat em this week and the Cardinals last week.
Blame the cheerleaders. Gotta be thier fault ;D

You can have that smell at supper time too....just fry an egg and some bacon on the grill with your burger...then place the fried egg & bacon on top of the burger.
I'll have to try that sometime. I like bacon on my burger once in a while, never tried the egg though.
Ya can throw an egg on just 'bout anything.
A dawg might be tough, but I'm sure it can be done. Don't know if I'd want ta try it though. Don't sound right :-X
But heck yeah on a burger!
Leo
That bacon on burgers is always good. we just got done grillin burgers outside and having them with some Pork & Beans. good eating.
spent the day working down at the barns and out in the shop working, always something to fix around here.
Got home from werk taday an tha Wife had a Turkee dinner made, with smashed taters, green beans, biscuts n gravy...I'm stuffed ;D ;D ;D ;D
Only got 2 birds today. :(
I can have eggs any time of the day. ;D
Slim
Slim, some days is like that, but I'm sure ya had a good time visitin with yer brother. I can go hunting anytime, but a good visit don't just come along every day. ;D
is the weather gonna straighten out and let ya get some more birds tomorrow?
It's always good ta spend time with family. The weather wasn't the problem today. Not sure what the problem was. Here's tomorrow's forecast: "A mainly sunny sky. High near 55F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph." I bit cooler than today which is fine.
BTW, the Pack won. ;D I didn't get ta see it though. :(
Slim
They put it on the Colts.
GOOD MORNIN' CAS CITY!

You're not harsh. It sucks but sometimes love has to be tough. My sister and fiance (they've been engaged 6 or 7 years and have 3 kids) are finding that out now as our family is not helping them with their most recent fiscal disaster of their own makeing. I hope the Lord will grant you wisdom in your situtation.

Had a grand time shooting yesterday. I was a wee bit on the cold side and the wind was blowing, but me and several of my friends all gathered at the Sippican Gun club and saved the world from a few hundred ravenous evil pumpkins. ;D The beasts were killed with eveything from flintlocks to machineguns. ;D I got to fire an MP5 and though it was fun I don't want one. ($17,000 plus you have to feed it.) My friend is a licensed machine gun manufacturer and I got to shoot a full auto HK91 replica in .308. :o BRUTAL! and FUN! Kinda like being married. ;) ;D
Thanks for the Cawfee. We have some communication issues here are werk in the token ring. I gotta go.
I over slept this morning....I should be half way to the Clinic, this morning. Had first appoinment. Now I have to wait here and see if I can get in later today. need my meds refilled. Get some xrays and test on my hands. Now I have to wait till 8 to call them.

Throw in a couple of Mr. Microphones for good measure.
Andi had some boom-box lookin' thing with a microphone wired to it. Played CDs 'n ya could talk (or yell) o'er it. Somehow, it wound up with fresh batteries in it 'n in Laney's possession....
Wonder why I got blamed for it.

Hey Stoney, There's a Full Auto shoot in Westfield Ma. this coming weekend, How far are you from there? I'll be going on Saturday.
Here's the link

Well, in the end I ended up with a hot dawg sammich.
Have ta save the fon-doo fer another day ::) We got a place up here where's they set a pot of boilin oil in front of ya (please waiter don't spill), a plate of raw meat chunks and some skewers with 4 differnt dipping sauces. Ya get another pot with the cheese stuff in it an a pile of bread cubes. To enjoy this meal, ya must take out a second mortgage and sell the children. But dang, sometimes it's just worth it ;D
Leo
Leo, That place sounds a little too high class for me.
Well, beins that I rent, it's DEFINATELY out of my league.
We had our rehearsal dinner there and someone else got the tab. :D
Sorry Dad ::)
Leo
Howdy y'all! Just passin' thru on my way to the hayloft. Been layin' low a bit lately; some kind'a ague eatin at me. Got the outdoor Halloween lights/decorations out and working; then it'll be Thanksgiving, then Christmas; might even try for Valentines day, somehow. ;)
We have had beautiful weather here, for the most part; fall has truly fell, and the days are warm and nights cool, A/C is turned off, and winders open all day. Some wind, but it passes in a while.
Leo, I think the name of that place is called "Le Pot". It is my 12 y/o Grandson's favorite place down in SoCal. For me? Well, for the price, I just ain't that fond-o fond-u. I guess it's ok, but ........
Gonna go hit the sack, now.
Later.
Cawfee's almost ready, water is boilon'.
Thankee TLD, jist what I needed. Woke up at my usual time but decided to roll over an' catch a few more winks. ;D
Good coffee! Better get the rest a them layabouts up, looks like tha cattle are restless this morning. Gonna ride out and relieve litl rooster so he can come in and get some coffee and breakfast.

It's 1 hour and 42 minutes according to the map software. However this Sat is church work day which I'm already committed to attend.
Thanks for the coffee. I hope today is better than yesterday. The token ring was down then up down then up all day and it took me and several others from 530am to just after 2 pm to figure it out.
Thanks fer the Coffee,
58 this morning, clouds have moved in and the air feels like some changes are comin in. still supposed to be in the 70's today, chance of showers by tonight through tomorrow, then some cooler weather, supposed to have a couple of nights down in the 30's,
Moanin', boys.
High forty sumthin'. Expectin' a l'il o'er seventy, clear 'n bright. Rest of the week cooler.
'Bout 43 here @ 9.40
We is plannin' on puttin' water seal on tha deck today but looks like it won't be warm nuff til after one pm
Just got back pick up my truck and then stopped picked up my door and windows for the "cave" Need to stop and pick up some sheeting, 1by's, felt paper and some caulk later this week. I'm thinkin' I need 3 full days to get this dried in. I'll be adding a combination of 1x4 and 1x6 trim to band the corners and the seams together much like at the top of the roof in the bottom picture.this will also secure the siding to the studs better, when the wind gets to howlin'.
Tenzzzzz, Montana and I discussed doing that this morning.
Not sure how these pic's are since I had to shrink to fit.
Mornin' Fellas,
Thanks for the coffee TLD.
No time to catch us since I've been out on the range for a few days and you been chatting up a storm.
Leo....I know of the place you were talking about for the rehearsal dinner....my husband can't believe you pay that much and still have to cook it yourself. :D
We won our division on Sat by 6 seconds! I was so excited.
LR...your cave is lookin' good. Is that the quest quarters too? ;D
Y'all have a great day!
If you don't mind the smell of sweaty tack and Gun oil, yer welcome to stay there ;D
Course never heard of a horse person who didn't like the smell of a sweaty horse
Congrats on the win ;D
Congrats Scarlet! You an' Buddy did good.

The name of the resturaunt is Friar Tucks. It's up in Nevada City. Place burned down once and took the city recorders office with it. I was going through a divorce at the time and it really fouled things up. It was only fitting ta have my rehearsal dinner with Lil at the new rebuilt version of the place. They also make a mean fillet mignon and lobster tail that they cook fer ya.
Good job Scarlet, tell Buddy we say "hi" :D
Thanks fer the coffee.

LR, The Cave is really coming together. I sorta like horse smell myself, I miss that sometimes since I don't have any horses anymore and probably won't. Met my former partner for breakfast this morning , hadn't seen her in a couple of years. It was good to see her again and catch up. I also went down and voted early. A bunch of folks down there. Early voting started yesterday. We're supposed to get a cool front tomorrow and some rain.
Got tha sealer on tha deck, now jist waitin' for it to dry....
Been makin' ah few reloads fer Miz Annie ta shoot at NC State, need to get her some shotshells made too.
Left over pork roast an' cabbage fer supper ;D
Bro. Sleep, I'm glad you had good weather for the sealer application. We're supposed to have a cold front come through tomorrow and bring rain with it. Good luck at the NC shoot for Miz Annie and yourself. By the way, how is Ellie Belle doin'?
Ellie Belle is doin' jist fine! She spent seveal hours today "sunning" herself.
She wasn't too happy this past Sunday. Her friend Salty John wasn't at the match, he always brings her venison jerky.
I'm sure Miss Victoria is happy that you are home with her TLD.
made it up to about 75 today, supposed to be a chance of showers here tomorrow.
got the oil changed in the log splitter today, neighbors wanting to use it, get half the wood he splits, so I figured it would be worth changing it. ;D
spent the rest of the day just keeping the temp on the birds right. pretty easy day.
Would not be a good day to put down sealer here, a good day to find out how good it is though. Might snow and ice west of here though.
Speakin' of Labs, had a funny the other mornin' early, see this dawg who will break ice to swim thinks he needs a cover at night when it's chilly. Woke me up whinin'. Rita got cold and stole the quilt I put on him. Lifted it up and covered them both, a happy dawg then. ;D
Del, I think Rowdy is just a lttle bit spoiked. Bro. Sleep, She is my constant companion and we go in her pickup so she can ride in the back seat and put her chin on my left shoulder. Life is good for Miss Victoria.
Miz Annie just asked if it was OK for her to make ah MAWFC....
::) ;D
She then asked "Peach awright with you?"
:-* :-* :-*
did ya feel her forehead, having to ask them kinda questions :o she may need some willow bark ;D
Quote from: Ozark Tracker on October 21, 2008, 06:32:19 PM

That might work if yer feverish, may have to try to get a goverment grant to study it. :o
I grew up eatin' muscadines an' eatin' muscadine jelly ;D
Found us some muscadine wine, mighty good.
Best we have found was from Altus AR and Granite Quarry NC.
you know them muscadines were some hugh grapes this year, when we went down to Altus to the grape festival, that's what they used for stompin, they sure were big and juicy looking.
Shore glad Trin-I-tee ain't here, means I'll have some MAWFC left for tomorrow. ;D
ya better tell Elly to keep a watch, never know but what he might read this and jump in his car and start that way, ya know the price of gas has went down a little. ;D
Evening pards.
Got home at 5:45 pm. Stopped at the Super WalMart in Plover, WI on the way fer groceries. Got the van unloaded. Kids are in bed. Gotta go ta bed early tonight 'cuz I gotta do 10 hour days fer the rest of the week. Starting 1.5 hours earlier.
Yesterday was a real nice day. No wind which is very unusual fer SD. We got 7 birds in 2 hours of hunting. 3 of them I knocked outta the air. The other days I knocked some outta the air but I never found 'em. Lady did a good job of flushing and finding downed birds. At times she couldn't get the scent on a downed bird. We got back to Bloomington, MN about 10 PM.
Congrats, Scarlet.
The cave is looking real good, Litl Rooster.
Peach MAWFC sure sounds good ta me.
Slim
Howdy, pards. Been a long one. Monterey, Marina, San Jose, Morgan Hill. Whew. Talk to y'all later.

Have I mentioned before that I like pie? ::)
That's a good ways of a trip Will. I went ta highschool in Morgan Hill an it ain't that close ta Monterey. That is a long day.
Leo

Morning, all. It was 35 and frosty this morning when we left for the garage. And , yes, windy. It's 41 and sunny now. Cleveburg was reporting snow pellets mixed with rain last night. Had Internet problems yesterday, and access problems off and on ( only one working 'puter here at the moment, and I'm kinda down on the use list)....................Buck 8) ::) :-\
I hate to admit it, but I sorta slept in myself this morning.
I sleep in when I wanna 'cuz I can....
Mornin' pards. Thanks for the cup, Sleep.
Hey All.
Thanks fer the coffee. I like Arcey's time zone. I stay up perty late, so risin at the crack a dawn aint my thing. I usualy don't get any calls afore 8, and so long as none of the kids come pesterin, we like ta wake up nice an easy.
Got woke up this mornin by a chain saw, curtesy of the tree compay the landlord hired. Them things make fer a good alarm clock >:(
We're in that mellow autum weather these days. 70 sumpthin perdicted with clear skies. Sure is nice.
Leo
well it's made it up to 65 today, hasn't bothered to rain yet, still a chance later, then a few days of cooler weather. been doing a little weatherizing on the baby houses today, tightening up some of the air openings.
Low 60s fer ah high today, spent some time at tha range werkin'
Nice bein' outside ;D
We've had 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches of rain in the area. Glad the GAF muster wasn't this weekend, could have 5-7 of snow up that way, radar looks like it's snowing on Ft. Hartsuff right now. :o
we've been outside all day long, Clea has really enjoyed the day out, she's run back and forth to the barns enough that now we're in the house, you'd think she's been working hard all day.
looks like we're about to get a little rain here, lines moved through Ft. Smith and about half way here, doesn't look it should be too much rain but a wind shift and some cooler air. supposed to be down to 41 tonight.
Not much doin taday. Convinced CJ's boyfriend ta feed the baby some a that cerial we got layin around whiles we were the only two around. Kid loved it. Everytime the spoon would get near his face he'd grin like crazy :D Don't think the formula will be doin it fer him much longer. Oops, bad grampa ;D
Weather's just so ya don't notice it.
Leo
The cool front came through this afternoon and dropped the temps and we got a little rain.
Just now starting to sprinkle here, temps are starting to drop some, 54 right now. been a real nice day today, worked around all day with just shirtsleeves. sounds like tomorrow it'll take a lite coat to be comfortable.
I think that's sorta what it's gonna be like here tomorrow. I got that deal tomorrow night in the Stockyards, I hope the weather ain't rainy.

I bet it drags on through by then, looks like what we got coming streaches for about 30 miles, here to Ft. Smith, they are callin for less than a half inch of rain now.
are they calling for any rain tomorrow there?
I hadn't heard anything about tomorrow. The weather people around here are actin' like we're in for major cold weather. I'll believe that when I see it.
Evening y'all.
'Twas 29 this morning. 'Tis 43. Supposed ta get down ta 34 tonight.

We had a bunch a ways of guessin the weather this time of year.
The one that always held true was ta notice when the sacadas stopped singin and figgure 6 weeks ta the first freeze. Dang if them ole timers weren't right everytime. Been watchin it every year fer quite some time.
Other things we were told ta watch fer was how bushy the sqirrels' tails got and up around here, they say watch the amount of pinecones droppin. Aint paid much attention to those last two things, but the bugs seem ta have it down from my observation.
Took a nap, have no idea what's fer dinner and the baby is screamin his head off, everyone's sayin it's cause of the cerial. The old man here took a look, and the boy just has a diaper rash. Put some diaperene on his butt an all is well.
Leo
37F here @ 2130 goin' down to 34... bet it dips even lower. Still and clear overhead.
Just got back from dinner out with friends.
Had some good crab stuffed flounder ;D
The old-timers 'round here say the more pine needles fall off the more snow we will get.
Slim
That crab stuffed flounder sounds mighty good. Used ta go ta a place in KC what had crab stuffed catfish. It was one of them meals where ya cleaned the plate 'cause ta leave a single bite would be blasphemy no matter how full ya were.
Good ta be seein ya around Slim. We held down the fort without too many shenanigans ;D

no, it'll be tonight before they come get em, got to get everything ready to roll up equipment today, try to make sure nothing's in the way to hang up, replace the burned out light bulbs, turn off the water at just the right time so the lines will be drained for cold weather, turn off the feed bins about 2 it takes em about 4 hours to eat the pans clean, just all the things to get ready for em to move out. ;D
Sounds like you an' Clea gonna be busy...
maybe Jackie can get some rest ;)
;D
we wish, she'll be out there having us do this and do that, no rest for the weary ;)
Mornin' pards. Thanks for the coffee. Both kinds. Clear today. Feels like it'll be another warm one. I'll be hanging close to home today.
Thanks for the Cawfee, I slept in again. It got cool last night, the heater kicked on and still runnin. Just watched an episode of Magnum P I on the Sleuth channel, another episode is comin' on. The sun is comin' out but it still looks a little nippy. OT, Don't work Lil Clea too hard today. I have been meanin' to ask you what kind of hound is Bear? I knew about Clea and Marvin.

The old-timers 'round here say the more pine needles fall off the more snow we will get.

If that holds true in Nevada, I'd say judging from the number of needle the pine by our patio has lost, we're in for about 20 feet!!!!! :o :o :o
That or the tree is just goin' bald!! ::) ::)
'Morning, all, from the other end (south) of The Silver State.
All things bein' relative, it's chilly here too this morning. A cold front passed through night before last, and brought some wind through the morning yesterday, but calmed and cleared last night. Was down to fifty or maybe less, this morning; it's 54 out front right now (0845), and it feels cold; it's dead calm, not even a wiggle of a leaf on the trees, and a'nuther bluebirdy day. Consider that as few as three weeks ago, we were still having an occasional daytime high near a hunnert, and o'nite was stayin in the high 70's. Brrrr. Now y'all better button up; that cold front is headin' your way, and the things seem to get colder as they cross the country.
As "sign" goes, the Mulberry trees haven't started "snowing" leaves, and the Mocking Birds are still hangin' around the front yard, so any serious change is not in the wind - yet.
Thanks fer the cuppajoe; think I'll go find some trouble to get into.
Later.
The first cold snap is always the hardest. Getting used to the cold weather again after being in the heat all summer.
TLD, Bear is a Pomarainan, he was the first dog Jackie and I got, he's almost 12 years old, he don't make a trip to barns everyday like he used to but he still participates in running outside everyday. ;D
Plant supervisor came this morning reweighing birds, said they had some come in bigger than they could handle, so they were checking em all, first bird he picked up weighed 20 pounds but on the average should go in at about 17 pounds. 2 houses go out tonight, 2 tomorrow night, at least that the plan at the moment :D
almost took a beatin this morning when Jackie and I were walking pickin up dead birds, found a gross one under a waterer, wet. slimy and stinky, picked him up, Jackie sped up trying to get way ahead of me, birds kinda grouped and slowed her down and I caught up with her. took off my glove on ma free hand, licked ma fingers good and rubbed em across her neck, man did I get one of them "what the Hell" looks, :o :o :o :o thought she was gonna beat me before she saw I had ma glove off and had just rubbed her with clean fingers. ;D
keeps her on her toes. ;D
OT, That's terrible. Jackie is too nice of a Lady to be treated that way.
;D after 13 years together, she kinda expects it sometimes, just the element of surprise is different.
Jackie and I met 13 years ago this week, first time we went out was Halloween night 1995, took her to the Castle in Muskogee to see my son's Band playing. She was just into Oklahoma from California, the rest is as they say "HISTORY". wouldn't change a thing if I could, enjoy every minute with her.
Used ta love messin' with the lesser half.
Let air out her tires. She'd complain the car wasn't drivin' as it should. I'd take a 'test drive', without 'er, to the station 'n reinflate 'em. Come back 'n tell 'er it felt fine to me. Next day she'd think it was 'er imagination.
She's always werried 'bout 'er weight. I'd move the driver's seat up a notch. When she caught onto that, I'd move the steerin' wheel. She's wise to both now.
In the cassette tape days, I bought 'er one she wanted only ta find out she bought a copy the same day. I glued hers in the case 'n put it back in the glove box.. When she came home raisin' hell I gave 'er the other copy.
Worst went better than expected. Had me out for dinner 'n we wound up shoppin'. I got zapped on a steel rack – good. Dug a penny out my pocket. Shuffled my feet on the carpet real good 'n touched it in the inside of her left wrist. Ya could hear the POP. Man, if she'd ah caught me with the diamonds on the fist she swung she'd ah ripped my face wide open.

YIPPEE!!!
So I'm not the only one what does stuff like that? I feel better now.
The mind games er fun too. Had a sticky deadbolt, ya put the key in, an couldn't get it back out. One day I found a tube of graphite and blew some in the lock while the little lady was getting ready to go somewhere. Lil comes out ta lock the door and I say "wait a minute" and put ma hand over the thing, close ma eyes and start humming. Said "try it now". Lock worked like brand new an she looked at me with the widest eyes I ever saw. Couldn't keep a straight face though so she knew I was messin with her after a couple of minutes.
Leo
LOL, Arcey, Leo. I like to do things like that to my wife, too. We had one of those faucets where you pull the end out and it becomes one of those rinser thingys on a flex line. I slid it back in upside down so it pointed upward. She turned on the faucet and got a bath. She's onto most of my tricks now but I still manage to get one in now and then.
Wonder if she'd notice a wire tie on the rinser thingy holdin' it open.... Hehehehe... Thanks, Will!
This'n was a reallllllllllllllllll hoot.
One of my guys gave me a life sized stand-up cardboard cut out of a stock car driver. I got home 'fore she did 'n put it in bedroom. O'er by the closet so she'd be all the way inside 'fore she'd see it.
She comes home, we talk for a bit 'n she heads for the back. I started ta lose it then but I kept quiet.
Blood curdlin' scream. I lose it so loud she hears me when she stops screamin'. She's white as a ghost, back in the den 'n callin' me e'erthin' 'cept a child of God. When she calmed down, she helped me set it up to get Ali when she came home.
The worst thing I ever did to the Moose was pouring ice water on her while she was takin' a shower. That was probably 25 or 30 years ago but she has never let me forget it.
Many years ago when I worked for Wisconsin Telephone as a Systems Technician on their main frames (there were three connected together) we used to do system maintenance on Wednesday evenings. Ran backups of all the disk drives from two processors while we would install new software on the third.
There was a time frame during which the backups would lock out one of the disks need by all three machines. I got a call from the Operations Tech that was installing the new software, saying the mainframe she was IPLing (rebooting) would not come up.
I realized what had happed and that it would only be a few minutes before the backups finished with the disk, needed to bring her machine backup. So I slowly walked into the computer room. Walked up the CRT that was the console for her computer. Slowly stroked the top if it several times. Then told her to try it again. The mainframe came up without a problem.
The OPS Tech just looked at me and said something to the effect of, "I don't believe you just did that"!
(Sorry for the Tech stuff)
Used ta toss a Dixie cup fullah cold tap water e'er the shower door. Quit when she started doin' it back....
This ain't wife torture, though I do have other stories ;D
One Halloween we's walkin the kids around an see this guy who's drivin his kids around. While his kids is knockin on doors, he sees a group of young teen girls and does somethin ta give em a scare an make em scream. He just looked too pleased by this so I figgured he could use a dose. He's settin in the drivers seat of his truck waitin on his kids and I tell Lil, "watch this". I crouched low an got right up ta the side of the truck without him seein. He had the window down and when I popped up outta nowhere and made one of them monster noises his head hit the top of the cab and I do believe he soiled himself. ::)
He didn't think I was very funny, but the rest of the crowd on the block seemed ta. He tolt his kids ta get inta the truck and peeled outta there with a funny look on his face. Lil and the kids still remind me of that one.
Leo
OK, Lil just informed me I got that story wrong. I skeered the little girls an the guy in the truck thought it was perty funny. That's when I decided it was his turn.
She says that's what made it so funny. Good ta have the royal historian close at hand ;D
Leo
Homemade chicken noodle soup is mighty mighty good on ah cool Virginia evenin'

One year, openin' day of deer season was at the farm, was before we had the trailer house. Had a bunch of them marker flags in my pick-up the "lectric System used to mark a line and left behind. About a little before noon litl brother went to the neighbors. I took the flags out and paced offand put one about every 5 feet between his camper and my cuzzin's one.
He came back and wanted to know what the flags were for, tolt him we couldn't tell till 8:37 pm. ;D
All day he kept askin' what the flags were for, nobody would tell, last half hour he looked at his watch about every 3-4 minutes. At 8:37 he said "Now it's time, tell me what the flags are for."
Well simple, to mess with yer mind all day. ;D
He was the only one didn't think itwas funny. ;D
OOOooooooo, you boys was ornery today! ::) :o ;D
T''was 33 this morning when we left for the garage, had to scrape winders again. Top it all off, had a sub bus this morning :-\ got ours back this afternoon. One of the little girls had a problem on the ride home, so we got back with a smelly bus. Left the windas down and wrote it up for the cleanin' crew. They ain't gonna like us tomorrow ::)
Had a small sccheduling problem with Sandy today, seems Wade Park set her up for a CCAT scan and didn't let us know until yesterday evening. I've got traning tomorrow and can't miss it or will be yanked off my run until it's made up, minus pay, too. Susie doesn't do the express ways, either. Sandy misses this and her surgery will be backed up. Finally got arranged for her to do the van tomorrow, with a neighbor taking her to the pick up point( VFW hall uptown), and one of their friends will pick her up when she gets back. Docc up at Wade Park pulled some rank and got her on the van, usually have to have a weeks notice before you can ride it up. :o
Surgery's the 29th, have to take her up on the 28th and leave her there. Then we'll have to go back up the next day for the surgery. Two days off Susie's check and more time off my sick days list, there goes my year end bonus. :-\.......Buck 8) ::)
Was one of the few days today, that I ever dreaded coming to work, was to be in the WD from 12-4:30 with that really stupid kid they hired about 3 weeks ago. Was feared I was gonna end up killing him. Not a good thing, cause I just know I would have got wrote up and it put in my permanant record. ;D
Not, Matt one of the good ones was there instead, seems Chad got his butt fired before I got there. ;D
Miracles nevver cease , Del ;D
Jackie cooked up a big Chilli Verde meal, finally got to eat a bite, after rolling up the equipment in 2 houses, turned off the water to em, they'll be ready to go as soon as the trucks get here. replaced the burned out light bulbs earlier, had 2 dozen that had burned out this tme, out of about 100 bulbs in the big houses, that's about average for the 6 or 7 weeks we have em in the growout houses.
49 here now, supposed to get down in the high 30's for a low.
Evenin' Fellas,
You guys been tellin' some naughty things you like to do to yer wives. :D
I used to mess with my other half too....I used to tell him I knew people that watched his every move...even when he was TDY. He'd call and I'd say so you were down on X street at 1pm today. Or come home and say so you left work around...Had him going for a good 6 months...drove him crazy. I finally confesed I could check the bank account online and see the withdrawls etc... ;D
I kinda feel guilty about this but it is so funny ....... my ol'lady has a dreadful fear of roaches ...... and ocasionally they come in from out side ...... no little ones inside (blessed be) ...... but her frear is so bad all I need to do is point at the floor and say "eww what's that" and she hit the ceilling ;D sinester cruel evil I know but so funny

I have the plans drawn for the basement. If the permit goes quickly we could start construction as early as Monday.
Thanks for the CAWFEE. Y'all have a good weekend.

We had a good time at the Stockyards last night with Buck. He's to be inducted in the Trail of the Stockyards this weekend. We ate at one of the Moose's favorite places in the Stockyards. I had a great CFS and she had grilled trout.
Mornin' all .......thanks for the Coffee OT....worked late last nite, gotta unload the wagon and head out again, will check in before I nite hawk ...
y'll don't burn the fort dort today
I'm ready for a second pot o cawfee.
Mornin', y'all.
Close ta sixty here. Lookin' like rain. The guessers er sayin' o'ernight 'n tomorrow.
Let's hope the guessers are bad wrong o'er Roanoke way. Side matches for the state shoot taday. Callin' for rain startin' this afternoon 'n inta tomorrow when the main match starts. Damn......
Let me get some of that new Coffee, need a little warm up
38 degrees now, no wind, just cold.
another load a birds just went out, looks like they may have another load left, maybe a little over a load. looks like they are still loading good, but daylights here so it may slow em down just a bit, them birds is funny, they don't like to move out into that sunshine.
Mornin' pards. Thanks for the coffee, OT. Looks to be about 50° and clear out there.
Mornin' Fellas,
Thanks for the coffee OT.
Still dark here.
Y'all have a good day!
starting to warm a little here, up to 47 with some bright sunshine feelin pretty good.
16,120 birds is what they got last night, got about that many more for tonight, only difference is one house is some hugh birds, lots of 18 to 20 pounders in there, waist tall, they may be a little slower loading tonight, when we walked em this morning they were jumping and running everywhere, made Jackie walk behind me, them wings and feet can hurt ya if you don't watch out, when they get that big.
If they get too rough, let Clea take care of them.
Hunghhhh!!! Ugh is right. Got any of the last pot left? I never did function very well until I got at least one cuppa into my system, whether it was morning or night. It's a good thing we were never kept awake by drinking coffee before bedtime, or my Bride would have never gotten any sleep. When I got up at between 2100 and 2200, there would be a fresh pot, and she'd be dozing in the chair with a steaming cup sitting next to her. Me, I needed it to get my motor started.
'Nuther nice lookin' day, here. Was about 50 when I got up at 0600, up to 57, now, 0830; looks like a repeat of yesterday.
We have a houseguest this morning; Miss Bella has the day off from school - parent teacher conference day, and her mom brought her over last night for a stayover. Gramma is going to do Miss B's conference, 'cause her mommy and daddy can't take time off from work; Miss B and I will just hang out, I guess.
Thanks for the "joe", I'll go "kill some rats", now.
Later.
Hey All.

We had a lot of fun last night at the Stockyards and got to have a good visit with Buck and his wife. I got see one of my old buds who is also recently from the US Marshals. His wive was a reserve with us. She is retired from American Airlines as a Flight Attendent.
That was fun. Needed ta scope out sumthin' in Princess Anne 'n found the place almost dead 'cross the road from the farmers' market. Stopped in.
Been warm 'n they're still harvestin'. Got me some real pretty Pungo grown produce. Same place, some salted in the shell peanuts I shouldn't ah bought. Sampled a few, they didn't spare the salt. More people there than I thought there'd be. One of the Fire Station's guys was there stockin' up at a different stand than I went to.
Enjoyed the trip. Weren't much traffic. I reckon the morons were home watchin' tv.
Salted Peanuts! Now you're talkin!
In defense of the TV, my grandson learned how ta finish a basement, build a closet under the stairs, do a drywall repair and verious other cool stuff. I picked up a couple a tips maself.
Also, ya need a TV ta watch them race cars go round an round ;)
Leo
Them salted penuts are good, like them redskins the best, was out in South Carolina once, driving along, about every 3rd store had a sign said boiled peanuts, stopped and got a bag, my taste buds just weren't quite ready for them, I guess it's an aquired taste.
Leo, that boy'll a be ready to go hammer a nail with ya afore long, ya keep watchin the DIY channel.
Quote from: Ozark Tracker on October 24, 2008, 04:03:43 PMlike them redskins the best
I have to agree with you on this. Never had the opportunity to try boiled ones. I can't imagine what that would be like.
Quote from: Marshal Will Wingam on October 24, 2008, 05:00:47 PM
I have to agree with you on this. Never had the opportunity to try boiled ones. I can't imagine what that would be like.
the ones I got was hot out of the boiling pot, they were just kinda (if ya can imigine) kinda chuncky, chewy but spongey, just a lot different than anything I had tried. closest I ever had was boiled soybeans
Boiled peanuts must be fer somebody 'sides me too.
I tried 'em like OT, best thing I did was ask fer ah sample, never bought any.
Roasted an' salted in tha shell is tha way to go for me.
you've had roasted soybeans haven't ya. I liked them alright, I've eat sa many raw, while combining, they were a big improvement when they were roasted
now raw wheat is a different story, chew it up slow and you'll get a gum like subtance that you can chew for hours, just like gum
I guess the thing about it was, if I was combining it, I'd chew on it.
Roasted soybeans are good, in another life I was a grain buyer and promoted soybeans worldwide.
I've eaten corn, wheat, oats an' barley... all OK 'cept for tha barley, it's better cooked in soup or made into beer.
OT, that gummy stuff in the wheat is glueten, holds the starch together so you can leaven yer bread. Have ate roasted soy beans, they're OK unless you get them hot, right out of the roaster before they go in the bin for the milk cows.
I love them salted peanuts that you gotta shell.
Two peanuts were walkin down the street...
Ahh ferget it ;D
Leo
Those peanuts in the shell is one of reasons I like to eat at Texas Roadhouse.
well all the turkeys got their tickets punched and ready to ride. these 2 houses will a first pickup tonight, be proud to see em gone.
here's a picture of one of the bigger ones, the Tom with the Blue on his face. he's probably over 22 pounds and a heck of a lot taller than the others.
now if anybody wants to pick one out and put a name tag around his neck, speak now.
From the sound of it, I think I'll stick to roasted peanuts, too. Boiled soybeans are OK, but I have to agree that they're much better roasted so I'll apply the same logic to goobers.
That's an impressive Tom, OT. Do you ever keep any for yourself?
Here's what a house full of 17 pound birds looks like, around 8,000 birds in this house, this is looking at half the house.
Marshall Will, sometimes the catch crew will lose one out in the dark and he'll be on the back side of the house and they'll leave a coupe of em, we've had several good meals off the leftovers

at a 1/2 hour per pound we'd better get to cooking if we want to eat by the Holidays ;D
had them boiled goobers the first time overseas....then in the 80's when I lived in S.C. we'd go to a minor league ball game drink luke warm beer and boiled peanuts...still like roasted better in the shell or allready shelled no matter
Victoria likes pecans and she shells her own. She likes about anything we eat, except apples.
HOT... FRESH... CAWFEE!!
;D
Bro. Sleep, Let me be the first to thank you for the fresh cawfee.
Very welcome Bro TLD...
Time to rouse all the other riders? ;)
YEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Alright, You waddies! We're burnin' daylight! Boots and Saddles! Let's Ride!
Thnaks fer the Coffee
37 this morning supposed to get up in the 60's for a high
all the birds is gone this morning, on their way to tables all over the country.
OT, Be sure and give Clea some extra rest this weekend, she's earned it.
aw she stays to busy during the day to rest to much. She's ready to get outside anytime, when we're out working in the shop, she'll make a dozen trips back and forth to the barns, goes down there looks all around for anything to herd, then runs back up to the shop and checks in with us, make sure we haven't run off from her.
she likes to be outside as long as we are, when we go in the house, she's ready to come in get a little bite of food and take it easy.
Been to town already this morning sure could use another cup of coffee to settle my nerves... Raining off n on this am going to try and work between the drops. Hope to get the "Cave" covered this weekend.
I'll check in thru the day
Thanks for the coffee Tensleeps
Mornin'.
Nice 'n dreary here. Drizzled 'nuff ya dampen e'erthin'. Pretty o'ersleepin' weather.
Lookin' like they ain't gettin' much of a rain fall at the state shoot. Just a mist last report.
Mornin' pards. Thanks for the coffee, Sleep.
Our weather is still holding. It'll be nice for the match tomorrow. Later today I'll be heading down to the range to work on setting up the stages.
Let'n one of them drizzles pass right at the moument....dang it. Afraid to set my power tools out so I can get going.
I'm here, glad to be up here an not in the WD, radio is worse than usual, no top forty, just talkin' but the big N for knowledge, got Don Edwards on right now up here, see what the machine picks next.
"if it's good cuttin' horses you want to see, just go north of roswell up on the Cross B."
Sons of the J just came on, Cowbou Jubale. ;D
Gotta love that good COWBOY music!
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Tensleep.
I'll be needing a whole pot today. Was awakened at 3 AM with someone trying ta get in the house. It was a drunken young adult who thought he lived here. He walked from wherever he came from. No coat. Temp was around freezing. The porch had ice on it but the ground was wet. We got his name and some of his neighbor's names out of him so I looked in the phone. I found a residence with that last name not to far away and asked him if that was he mother. He said yes. So, I got the plat book out and with his help found out where he lives. So, I took him home which is about 2 miles. He saw the clock in the van and couldn't believe it was 3:22 am. The closet bar to our house is about 7 miles.
Boiled goobers don't sound good. I'll take roasted any day.
Roasted soybeans are good.
'Tis 46 and mostly cloudy. High of 52.

Local church was smokin' up some BBQ when I stopped by at lunch for some dawgs. I thought for a moment that I would skip the dawgs and wait for the BBQ to finish, but then I came back to my senses. I bought the dawgs and now I'm ready to head back over there for the BBQ.
BBQ, and from a church... how can you get more holy than that? ;D
There's a Black church in Huntsville that serves BBQ during the week as their fund raiser. It's real good with all the trimmin's. I've eaten there many times.
Any reason why they painted the church black? ::)
;D
No, not really.
Slim,
ma Dad lives in AZ. His front yard landscaping is rocks an cactus. One of them cactus is perticularly large an nasty. One night at a about 3 AM he gets woke up by screamin sounds. Goes out there an some drunk feller from south of the border had wandered inta his yard and right inta the dern thing. Aint no bars around there either--no one had any idea what the guy was doin in the neighborhood, includin him.
Went to a motorsicke swapmeet early this mornin ta see if I could off any of the spare parts I had layin around. Did OK plus there was FREE burgers, tater salad an beans around noon. They didn't even charge us a space rental. Some days ya just live right I guess :)
Good luck with yer bath Roo, could get interestin :-\

Well don't know if anyone has heard of Russ Ledger and his horse Sarge, but he's the guy that has been wagon boss for a lot of those wagon trains that cross the country from time to time. Sarge has more miles on him than most folks cars. Just spent an hour or so chewin' the fat with him. Leo, he was tellin' 'bout the time the put pads on Sarge and he rode him up the capital steps down Sack-re-mento way.
Nice fella, lives about an hour from here. He's gonna do a Morman Trail ride next year if anyone is interested.

Well, the dawgs is good (not the best, but still tasty), and the BBQ was smoked just right. If any gals that's bein' married off can cook like that, then count me in!!! ;D
Thanks for ree-mindin' me. I've got some Klondike bars in the freezer ready to be eaten. ;D
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
Truth be told, them ones that can cook is a sight more valuable ;D
Evenin Y'all, well had an interesting day, Went to a Machine Gun shoot in Mass, was real interesting,. Ran into a Pard I shoot with in NY. He was with a War of northern aggression re enacting unit(Artillery) They had a Mountain Howitzer and a yank unit had a parrot rifle. I got home and had to replace the valve set for the shower/tub, That wasn't much fun. :( But it was still a good day, now I'm tired and I'm gunna get some rest
Fer heaven's sake don't dunk lR in water, he'll shrink............more ;D ;D
Was fairly cool here today, only 44 here now. Some sun off'n'on. Callin' for high winds tomorrow, temp drops on Mon., just in time for us to have to go up in the snowbelt on Tuesday and Wednesday. ::)
Susie got me a set of DVD's from the History channel, Kenny Rogers' Real West. Had the one about Wild Bill on today. Del, I didn't realize that that Rock Creek station you visit had a connection to Wild Bill :o 8)
Pulled pork an sausage? Guttony is one of the seven deadlys ya know :o
Well at least ya got there afore the crowd. I love it when that happens. We've gone inta a dead empty place, got our favorite table, an afore we even get our drinks the place is packed. Timing is everythin'.
Makin some fresh coffee right now, Lil has the drowsees. Ya all are welcome ta a cup.
So far as home repairs go, feel free ta send me a ticket anytime, an I'd be glad ta come out an take care of it ;) I'll take cobbler fer pay :D
Leo
Which type of Klondike, Trinity? The chocolate ones ain't safe around me.........Buck 8) ::) :o ;D
We're grillin' burgers on the patio. It's gettin' a little niipy out since the sun went down. Them Klondike bars are good in any flavor.
I'm back. We got the stages all set up. 4 stages and a mulligan. Great fun. A lot of the local shooters are off at another club's yearly match this weekend so we are expecting a smaller crowd. It was 85° down there. It'll probably be the same tomorrow.

It's one of the DOS ANSI commands. Hold down the [ALT] key and type 248 in your numeric keyboard then let go of the [ALT] button. It should work fine. If it doesn't, put your num lock on and try it again. Some keyboards will do it on the numbers across the top but mine won't because those commands are reserved for something else. You can do a lot of interesting stuff with those commands. I normally only use that one and the ± ( [ALT] plus 241) but there are a lot of special characters available that way. With the new special character keyboard sets available, you don't need to know much of that anymore.
OOF-DÅ! Garçon, ici. ¿Esta el Niño?

Yesterday, I ground 50#'s of wheat, cleaned out the dryer exhaust hose which was plugged, and found the blinker fuse on the truck was loose that's why they didn't work. Del, the truck does have separate flashers for blinkers and hazards. The blinker flasher is in the fuse panel. The hazard flasher is by the glove box.

Lost most of the day yesterday due to rain. Got the roof up and nail'd down got some felt paper on it. Wanted to get the door up and the first window in, so I could finish hanging the siding this weekend. Since I didn't have a roof up, the flooring is wet so having the one side uncovered should help it dry out better. Good thing is, my materials are under cover now, and if it rains I can set up under the roof and work now.
Tensleeps have a good time down there and be safe.
SB sorry i didn't come down and make the place stinky'r...did you try the Marlin?
Did someone say Marlin? The mere mention makes me drool.
Those are our go to guns when there's a target we cant hit with nuthin else. Little ole open sight the folks at the factory tune in just right, never had ta mess with one. I'd trust Lil's 1895 'bout as much as ma 336 if we was stranded out in the woods.

Cool doorstop, OT. Nice idea to have the guy holsing the door with his hand.
I don't have any fish guns yet. I want to pick up one in 30-30 ro use in our Wild bunch matches. We shoot the rifle caliber stuff at 100 yards for that. That makes it ossible for shooters with WW1 guns to break them out and have at it. We only allow 5 in the gun at a time so it evens the field between levers and bolts. Great fun.

Mount up prayer posse. An 8 year old boy was shot in the head while handling and Uzi at the Machine gun shoot today. (This is the one the Major went to on Sat and hoped he and I could meet for it.) He was taken to a local hospital where he later died.

Stoney, that is just terrible to hear. I really feel sorry for the parents of the child. :(
Trinity, did you have yer Revolutionary war era campout yet? or is it still in the future?
thats a real tragedy :'( and I can't help but wonder ??? where the un-fortunate lad's parents were when the child was handling A LOADED FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPON AND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE THESE KIND OF TRAGEDY'S ARE COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE ....... and you know the anti-gun liberals are going to use this catastrophe to shamelessly lobby stricter gun laws :-[ I have an eight year old girl who I want to teach to shoot and take her hunting (before her mom can give her bambi-syndrome) but I would never even dream of letting her handle so much as a TOY gun with out teaching her proper gun safety it is another sign that common sense is not so common
You got it, Stoney.
Swordboy, The Range Officers at this shoot were very professional and did a very good job. However, I did see some kids that were in line for the rentals who I felt shouldn't have been allowed to shoot any of the Full auto guns. The club had a lot of other options for anyone who wanted to shoot. I feel that it may have been the parents of these kids who wanted their child to be able to brag to their buddies that "I got to shoot a Machine gun this weekend" I have always felt that size matters when handling firearms and that should be taken into account before handing any dangerous implement to a child. I wasn't there on the day the child lost his life and all I have posted here are just MY thoughts and feelings on the subject, I have no proof that this is what happened. There are many possibilities how this terrible event came to be and we may never know all the facts. But you may be correct in that the anti's WILL use something like this to further their cause. I really don't know what else to say about this other than I feel sadness for the Parents of the Boy and for any of the people who may have witnessed this. It will be a memory that no one should ever have.
Well said Major.

OT, that's the weekend after next. The way things are cooling down, I think I need to seek out a few more blankets. :o :D
That uzi story is a tough one. There's going to be hell to pay over it, you can bet.
I feel terrible for the family. 8 years old is pretty young to handle something like that, I've started all of mine on a single shot .22 LR, and I know even that could go bad. Like I said, it's a tough one.
God bless.
Leo
An 8 year old kid should not have been shooting a machine gun anyway. I'm sure that the outfit running that shoot will put an older age limit on the handling of weapons.
Prayers up SP, that is a tough one to take.
Y'all rise an' shine, CAWFEE's ready.
Thanks for tha coffee Sleep! Have fun in NC.
Congrats Del and Rita! Rita must be a saint!
Sorryy to hear that SP, prayers up!
Thanks for the Coffee...........10zzzzz

Thanks for the Cawfee.
Thanks for your prayers for that boy and his family.
Thanks fer the Coffee
32 here this morning with about a 15 mph North wind, felt plenty cold on the trip down to the barns. supposed to be around 50 today with a low tonight of around 25, but the wind should die down this evening.
Mornin'.
Supposed ta be warm taday.
Prayers for the child's family 'n their friends. My prayers also for the investigators, the prosecutors, the courts and anyone bringin' civil action.
Take care 'Sleep.
Headin' back ta the sack. Long story on the loss of power o'er the weekend. Ended with chain saws, machetes, an argument with a supervisor 'n a new transformer. The crew didn't leave here 'til after midnight.
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Tensleep.
Have fun and be safe, Tensleep.
I'll be praying, Stoney.
'Tis 28 and sunny. "Windy. Scattered snow showers becoming mixed with rain later. High near 40F. Winds NW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of precip 40%."

VVery sad, indeed. Our prayers and condolences :(
Nice door stop , OT ;D
it's 36 and spittin' snow here. Have to take Sandy to Wade Park tomorrow morning. The SNOW BELT.......oh joy ::) Surgery is Wed. morning, so we'll have two trips and possibly a third by the end of the week to get her home. We're hoping to get them to hold her until Sat. morning so we don't have to miss a third day of work this week. I also have a training class on Friday that I can't miss as well.
Took her car over to Navarre this morning to get the air checked in those crappy tires( no go in the snow). The local station''s air chuck ain't workin' right...........Buck 8) ::) :-\
After the juice was restored Sunday mornin' @ 0400, *POOF* again @ 1530. They get here @ 1645. Replace fuses again. We got power back @ 1720. Asked one of the crew as they were packin' up when he thought they'd be back as two other sets of fuses had blown in a l'il over twelve hours. Said he'd run diagnostics on stuff 'n it checked out.
1910 it goes again. 2020 the same guy shows back up, alone. Tells me an entire crew is finishin' up on sumthin' else 'n they'll be here shortly. 'Bout ten minutes later the posse arrives. They huddle, they talk, they argue, they drag out all kindahs stuff. The one that showed first done already said the transformer was shot even though it checked out. The bosses show up. More of the same.
One comes to me. Says they're gonna change the transformer. He'll have ta run a bucket truck up ta the barn. That idea went south when I showed him where my underground oil tank was. It took three attempts to explain to the genius the crew that replaced everything on the pole after Isabel had backed up to the pole thru the buffer zone 'twix the office buildin' 'n the back yard. They huddle up again.
Truck leaves. No loss. There's five of 'em. Show up in the parkin' lot behind me. Chain saws. Ten ta twelve foot trees planted six years ago start ta fall. Two guys are cussin', all caught up in briars 'n swingin' matchettes. Now they got 'em a nice driveway ta the pole.
Everyone leaves. Show up in the back. They get the transformer up 'n the power back on @2355. Gone at 0015.
There's debris all out in the parkin' lot back there. They ain't doin' nothin' ta get it up. Like I care. Ain't gottah truck ta toss it in anyway. Bet there was a very friendly phone conversation this mornin' 'twix the management of the offices 'n the power company.
So much for salt spray......
Awful aggressive salt spray ya gots out yer way Cuz, Got tha fuses then it gots tha transformer! My oh my they sure do make a mess out yer way fixin stuff.
Yer way closer ta the bay than I am the ocean front, cuz. Reckon the spray gets ta yers frequently.
I love ta kid around but, seriously, I'm glad I went out to watch. Had I not been, I'd ah had a Dominion bucket truck sunk to it's frame in the back with a ruptured 550 gallon oil tank. The tank is almost full. The EPA, state 'n folks from the sierra club wouldah thrown ah hissy fit 'n been in the yard with back hoes this mornin'.
Fill ya in on what I think the basis of the problem was when I see ya next if ya wanna hear it. Cain't post it here.
Arcey, Hopefully, this will cure your power problems.
Them power prblems are a pain, we've got the generator for runnin all the turkey houses and a portable 10,000 KW for the house, we had the one down at the turkey houses struck by ligntning a coupla years ago, sounded like a small cannon going off, blew one of the terminals out the side, took em about an hour and a half to replace it.
made a run down town to get a few supplies, we went by the Courthouse and voted early, decided to just go ahead and get it out of the way.
while were in the grocery store, they had a new display with Hot Cajan penuts. reached in got one, cracked it out, boy they weren't lyin it was a HOT peanut. mouth burned the whole time we were in there.
Thinkin' it's fixed proper now, thanks.
The folks I bought the peanuts from had 'em in three bushel baskets. One marked plain, one salted-in-the-shell 'n one Cajun. Knowin' myownself as well as I do I thought it best ta leave the Cajun there. As salty as the ones I got were I can imagine the Cajuns were right warm....
Tried the Cajun variety they have 'round here once...
That was first an' last time! :o
I like spicy, but don't need no straight habenaro on my peanuts
Evenin' pards.
Sorry to hear about your trials, Arcey.
I had me some of them hot peanuts once and WHOOO!. There was indeed a bite to them. :D
speaking of heat ??? got our first fire of the season goin in the wood stove tonight, cleaned it out good and started it up to make sure nothing was blockin the way. gonna havta try not to get too much heat goin. 40 degrees out right now, with a promised low of 25, at least the winds starting to die down, looks like it's gonna be pretty calm. felt a lot colder last night, wind was gustin about 25 mph.
dang cold weather.
It's damp cold here, really has arther kickin' ::) :o Both my index fingers deccided to head for my palms earlier, drawed real bad. :-X furnacce has been runnin' off'n'on all day$$$$$$ :-\..........Buck 8) :-\
On yesterday's topic of phish guns, yours truly has an 1894 in .45, .38, .38/.357, and .44. An 1893 in 38-55, and an 1889 in 38-40. ;D Last W made gun I had spent more time at the smith's than it did here. An 1894 in .357 that my smith called "The Winchester from Hell"....................Buck 8) ::) :-\
I got some Cajun peanuts the last time I was in Arkansas and they weren't Hot at all. I still like the plain salted in the shell the best.
TLD, does that freeze alert come down to your house tonight, they had the map up on the weather a little bit ago and it looked like was coming pretty close to ya.
We'z gettin' a freeze here too. Supposed to get down to 27-31. Got my winders open ready to welcome the cool weather. Had the sniffles today, so I'm trying to beat them off.
I'm thinkin' of getting my second White House Cherry Klondike bar. I've been good at having only one, but...
They are saying it might get down this far. Moose is going to cover her plants. I don't think it will get to 32 tonight, but you never know.
the wind has dropped off here to almost nothing, so I'm expecting it to get pretty cool, it's down to 37 now and just kinda holding , got the door open, let the wood stove get a little too much heat goin and I only got 3 pieces of split wood, but it is good and dry wood, Jackie turned on the floor fan so I thought I'd better open the door and let a little air change places.
it's supposed to start warming back up tomorrow, supposed to in the low 70's by the end of the week, it sure felt cold today with all the wind and only being 50 degrees.
That's what I hate about the first days of cool weather. The getting accustomed to the cool weather after all the heat of the summer.
it always strange the way the cold does ya in the fall, 50 degrees feels like really cold, but by spring, if it gets 50 I'll be looking for ma short pants, I guess it's that getting used to it and being used to the cold weather.
to tell the truth, I'd just as soon live where I could wear ma short pants all the time.
39o here and a cold rain...
Tha wet makes it werse, get's in yer bones like Buck sed.

last coupla days, I've had one finger on ma right hand that sure has been stiff, anytime I hammer on steel a little too much, I can sure tell it, and when it's cold it makes it worse, seems like that one finger don't want to bend at all, had one a few years back that would lock up and I'd have to take my other hand and straighten it out, went to see the doc, he said just lay off using it a little while and see what happened, it went to working in about a week so I just slow down on using the hands when they start gettin stiff.
I have 3 fish rifles, 2 are Model 39 .22 lever actions and 1 is a 1895 CB in 45-70.
I would like to get hold of a nice used 39 meownself
I haven't ever owned a Marlin rifle. I've got Winchesters, A Rossi, 2 Mausers, 2 Rugers, and a Uberti Henry.

Howdy, pards. Thanks for all the support. Something is working. The situation is improving. No E-room at this time. She thinks she passed a kidney stone earlier. She has an appointment tomorrow to see about something to take care of this if it is needed.
The drive to Monterey was slow with very redeuced visibility in places due to the fog. It was clearing when I returned.
Today turned sunny and stayed nice until just a while ago. No fog yet, but the chill has set in. Stopped by the school yard on the way home with the dogs and tossed the firsbees. They did particularly good today.
Will, good to hear the wife's doing a little better, hopes she continues to improve.
That's great, Marshal Will.

Glad ta here the wife is doing better Will. Passin a stone can be hell.
My view on snow is, if I wanna see it, I'll go to it. It can stay outta my neighborhood thankya much. They used ta call me inta work early ta shovel it while it was still comin down. Told 'em that was dumb, but they insisted. I'd clear a path, turn around and see ya couldn't even tell I'd been there. Learned ta hate the stuff right quick.

Thanks for the Coffee LIT...sure hit the spot....Wind play'd havoc in these parts yesterday, several trees were blow'd over on RT 28. Sure push a 4600 pound truck around. Had to throw some furring across the roofing paper yesterday before I left to work. Going to head out now and see how it faired.

All that trash sure slows a computer down. My previous computer got slowed down considerably but until I loaded AVG, I couldn't find the stuff. Norton didn't do anything but take up memory, I guess.
Marshall Will, I'm glad that your wife is doing better. Kidney stones can be painful. Major, I hate that you got the snow this early. That's one thing I don't miss about living in the Texas Panhandle. It can snow from now until Memorial Day. It comes in inches, 6 to 8 at a time. LR, I hope the wind did not damage "The Cave". Flannel feels good this time of the year.
well the weather must be nice everywhere, everybody gone from here anyway ;D
got some tractor driving done today, caked out a coupla houses, sure has been nice up to 65, no wind and lots of sunshine. a few more degrees and it would have been gettin hot. dogs have had a good time outside ran and ran, all of em passed out in the floor now.
OT, It turned out to be a fairly nice day. High in the low 70's. Be sure and let Clea get plenty of rest before the next Turkey Move.
I'm here, been workin' on knivves all day.
Made it ta 53 here. Been cloudy. Went out 'n did some werk.
Got the long barreled ahotgun out 'n made sher it was ready fer Saturday. It was. Patched 'er out anyway. It's a wonder. Just squirt 'em 'n towel 'em out after a shoot 'n put 'em in the safe when I get here. Accordin' ta the real BP experts in the Den they should be rusted away ta nothin'. Bet this'n ain't been handled in a year 'n a half or so 'n ain't never seen soap 'n water. Of course, mine are special made from alloy from reverse engineerin' of alien, flyin' saucer technology developed in Area 51. Don't tell nobody. It's a top goobermint secret.
Took my time. Did some readin' 'n drank way too much coffee. Done the housework. Cooked supper fer the two of us. A good day.
Del, Be careful with the knives. I always manage to either have someone stab me or I stick myself with the knife.
Hehehehehe....
Didn't cut myownself either....
I put lots of maskin' tape over the blades, some junkers I've picked up cheap and puttin' new handles on them, gonna stick with black walnut from now on, ain't happy with the maple one, but won't rip it back off just cause I don't like the color.
no tellin how many times I've cut myself, probably in the hundreds, since ma grandma showed me how to sharpen a knife good and sharp, I've kept em razor sharp and they've cut just liike a razor, me or anyting else I was cutting. ;) skinnin squirrells, filleting fish, skinning deer you name it, if I killed it, I've skinned it and probably cut myself at one time or the other, I heal fast ;D so I'll keep sharpening ma knife.
got a big Case that I use on deer, it holds an edge as good as you could want. just slids, no pushing or pulling
gotta go in here and see what Jackie's cookin up, smells just like cabbage and bacon ;)
When butcherin' deer and such, I cheat and put on a fish fillet glove, works great. ;D

Ya mean ta tell me that you of all folks have a hot gun? I never figgured ya fer the criminal element ;D The alien's must a corrupted ya.
I got nice old style Buck pen knife fer Christmas last year. Sharp as all heck fer as innocent as looks. Everyone who took a look at it that day got bit. Made me feel better ta know I wasn't the only one ::) I use it all the time, but I'm always sure ta be careful since then.

I've got ma going to town knife, Case 3", 3 blade, got ma everyday knife, Old Timer, used to almost anything you can think of you could do with a knife, a lot of it's blade has been sharpened away, but it's still good for what I do with it. then a Case 6" folding knife, 2 blades, got several others around that in case I can't find one, I have another, seems like if I don't have it all the time, I'll sure need it for something.
I gought one of those lock-blade Buck knives several years ago to carry in a sheath on my police gun rig. Only thing I used for was cutting seat belts at car accident scenes. Only thing I had to worry about was not cutting myself when I folded it up.
lucklily I haven't had to cut but one seat belt, several years back, in Oklahoma, son in law (at the time) and I were heading to Wal=Mart, a car pulled out of the drive way and another hit it, rolled over twice and landed in the ditch across the road on it's top. we ran over there and the lady was shook up but buckled in upside down, we talked with her a minute and she was wanting out bad, son in law climbed throuh the opposite window and got under her and supported her and I cut the belts, she crawled on out quick. was glad to have a sharp knife that time.
I'z back in the garage working on the customer's PC.

I have a 30 year old Buck #311 Trapper, ain't made anymore, well pocket worn, no knife, hammer and nail left no lines on the hard hard plastic either.
I've got a real nice 4" lock blade Puma but I never did like the steel in it as good as some of the others I have, seems like it was just too hard a steel. just wouldn't take a good edge.
Evenin' pards!
Marshal Will, I'm glad your wife is don' better. I had a very bad case of stones a few years back. It turns out it was brought on by the medication I was taking. I read about it before I agreed to take the stuff, spoke with the doc about it, he said "Bah, those warnings are for the 1% of 1%". I had stones so frequently that I finally decided to spend the money and visit a urologist. Told him I was on meds and without asking what they were he said "Bah, that's not the cause".
I told doc #1 that I wanted off the stuff, he said "well, OK, but I still don't think..." I have only had one stone since. ::) And people wonder why I don't go to the doc any more than I absolutely have to. ::)
Shotguns... Arcey, my Stoeger is ticking me off. I bought it back in '05 (I think) and experienced intermittent misfires from the right tube the very first time I took her out, so I took it back to the shop where I bought it. Instead of sending it back to Stoeger, their smith "repaired" it. Well, I didn't shoot all that much then (still don't now, but more), so six months later I took it shooting and it did fine for a few stages until it started again. Back to the gun shop. Again they "fixed" it but never called me. I finally called a month or two later and was told "oh, it's ready". I went and the guy gave me two fired shells. I asked if they had repaired it or just fired two and declared it functional. He didn't know. All I know is that they didn't even clean it. I would just shoot it and re-cock if it didn't fire. However, now it is getting much worse and three years down the road, I am well out of any warranty window and I am not taking it back to that shop. I wish they had sent it to Stoeger in the first place.
I have heard from several shooters that many Stoegers had the same problems with the firing pins mushrooming and thus creating friction and slowing down on the way out of it's little cave (don't ask me for correct terms). Do you have any advice where I could go to get replacement parts that won't fail like Stoeger's?
Knives. I carry a cheap Chinese Winchester 2.5" lockback with faux stag with my work attire. For jeans day, I carry a Victorinox.

I think there is one in there somewhere. I use it mostly because of the little table, microwave and five course meal that folds out of it. ;D
Swiss Army "officer" model was the first knife I ever got. My buddy had the huge model that wore out the pocket in his jeans on a regular basis. We both lost our tooth pick and tweeser within a month.
Leo
seems like some knifes are just made to wear out a pocket,
Trinity, watch that little microwave comin on while it's in yer pocket.
I'll do that, OT. ;D
I've got a leather belt pouch for my big Victorinox. I can't bring myself to use it unless I'm camping, though. :D

Perfect!!! Thanks, pard. Now I'll stop annoying my fellow shooters with all the misfires. :D
Thinkin' a bad pin or bushin' could be the trouble, Trinman. Could be a hunk of trash floatin' around in there somewhere the 'smith didn't find or didn't try to find. I'd recommend goin' to another shop.
I bought the Coachgun off the consignment shelf at Bob's when I started the game in '97. It's been my primary shotgun the whole time. The Uplander was on Gun Broker. I had evil thoughts for a particular club's shotgun targets. All I've done to either is disable the safeties. Both have always gone BOOM when I pull the triggers.
Evenin' pards. My new front sights for my pistols arived today. I'll be putting them on and sighting them in with my laser bore-sight. My wife thanks all of you for your thoughts and prayers. She'll be going to a eurologist in a few days.
Arcey, I think the 'smith didn't do a darned thing. That's why I never took it back. Well, that and it was two hours away in Charlotte... big shop too. ::)
Thanks for the advice. I have thought about the debris angle, and have cleaned the heck out of the aperture. I need to get one of those tools so that I can get to the firing pin. Then I'll try those SS pins as suggested by the Majer.
I have heard two stories about the Coach gun. Either love it or hate it. I have yet to meet someone with ambiguous feelings. Personally, I like mine... when she shoots. ;D
Good luck with shotgun, Trinity.
COFFEE'S READY!
ALright girls I let ya sleep in, but that herd aint gonna make it to where it goin by itself.

Been a busy week here, but I thought I'd stop in and say Howdy real quick.
Thanks for the coffee LTI.
Everybody have a great day!
Mornin', peoples.
Just short ah fifty out. Don't know where the heck the wind come from. Derned stuff must belong ta Slim. Talks with that funky Great Lakes accent in 30 mph gusts.
If the guessers er right, it's lookin' real nice for the folks down in Carolina for their shoot. Forecast ain't lookin' bad for our l'il get tagether it Wakefield Saturday either. BOOM, fire, smoke 'n stink out a pair of Buntline Specials.
Lookin' nice fer the l'il Trick er Treaters tomorrow evenin' too. Ready ta start that now. If they don't get by soon, there ain't gonna be none ah the Gummy Ghosts left ta toss in their bags......
Arcey, if yer like us, you'll have to resupply the trick or treat supply at least once, I don't know what it is, but ya gotta eat some of it if ya got it. ;D
we're goin tonight and resupply, just in case we get some goblins, usually don't have too many, but a coupla familys up here with several kids always come by, we load em up good. ;)
Gottah make sure it's safe ta eat, OT. We owe that much to 'em. I just ate a witch.......

I'm here, in OWS all day.
Mornin' pards. Thanks for the cup, Tom. Weather change today. Cloud cover, looks like rain later. I have a full day in Salinas and Prunedale. Might get rain later.
Well, here I are. Two days up at Wade Park about done me in. caught up a few things this morning, got the usual razzing at work ;D
Sandy got through the surgery okay, mass was about the sizze of a kiwi fruit by the time they took some surrounding stuff with it. doc's gonna have that checked to see if it's pre-cancerous or not. Did some recconstruction work to keep the deformity to a minimum. Sandy's still complainin' about being sick. She'll take that anesthetic thing to the max knowin' her. As for now, no word on when she comes home. Looks like we got a free evening tonight.
It's 40 here, was 26 this morning with frost on the ground. Windy here too, Arcey..................Buck 8) ::) ;)
Glad she's doin' good. With me when I wake up I want food, they bring me broth and Jello, the Jello leaves the room and I make them promise if I drink the broth and it stays down I want real food later. ;D
Oh I stole this from someone the other day, with winter comin' on I thought someone might want it. ;D

Guardian.UK, in part, dated yesterday.
Parts of south-east England had more than an inch of snow last night while London experienced its first October snowfall in more than 70 years as winter conditions arrived early.
Snow settled on the ground in parts of the capital last night as temperatures dipped below zero. A Met Office spokeswoman said it was London's first October snow since 1934.
For greater south-east of England it was the first October snow since 1974. High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire had 3cm (1.2 inches). One of the coldest temperatures recorded was -4.1C in Benson, Oxfordshire.
"It is unusual to have snow this early," the Met spokeswoman said. "In October 2003 sleet and snow was recorded in Northern Ireland, Wales, south-west, north-west and north-east England and the Midlands, but it was mainly over higher ground."
The Ledger, Lakeland, FL. In part, dated yesterday.
LAKE WALES | A reading of 38 at Lakeland Linder Airport on Wednesday morning was the coldest ever recorded in Polk County in October and marked the first time that the mercury has dropped into the 30s during October. The previous record for the month was 42 degrees on Oct. 21, 1989.
Wednesday's reading easily shattered the record for Oct. 29, which had been 48 degrees set in 1957.
It was the first time temperatures in Lakeland have dropped into the 30s since a reading of 35 on Feb. 28.
Meteorologist John McMichael of the National Weather Service said records could again fall Thursday morning, when the forecast for Lakeland calls for a low of 42.
The record for Oct. 30 was a reading of 46 in 1952.
McMichael said the cold front that pushed through Florida on Tuesday resulted in record low temperatures throughout the state.
A reading of 42 degrees in Tampa broke the record for the date of 44, which had stood since 1910.
A 47 in Fort Myers also broke a record that had stood since 1910, and a 44 in Sarasota broke the record for the date, which had been a 48 recorded in 1977.
In Orlando, a reading of 43 broke the record of 47, which had been set in 1952; a 44 in Melbourne broke the mark of 51, which was set in 1952; and a reading of 46 in Vero Beach broke the mark of 48, which had been set in 1943.

Like cool weather a bunch. Don't like a wind werth dog squeeze.
Hey All.
Sposed ta pour rain here tamarra. Guess we'll be stuck with all this candy ::)
Truth of the matter is, we live on a perty steep hill and have never gotten many knocks on the door anyway. Ever smell witch sweat? It aint nothin nice :o
Since we're pinkos now, I'd be happy ta trade this coming rain fer some ammo or any other gun related stuff ;D Someones gotta want it bad enough.
Buck, Sandy is still in our prayers. Sounds like she's doin OK :)
Leo
Wait a minute, I was seriously flawed in that last post.
If we done gone so-she-list, we don't get gun stuff no more. So I'll share this weather with Maj Sterner an he kin send us out one a them Rockettes from the Radio City Music Hall. I cancelled the satalite service, so the entertainment would be nice :D
Leo
Yanno.... I need ta figger out how I get inta this stuff.
Still ain't used ta this cooktop. Turnt the knob the wrong way when I wuz cookin' supper yestiddy. Freakin' pot boilt o'er 'n I've scrubbed my butt off gettin' it clean taday. Really learnin' not ta like the damned thing.
The fat lady has 'Fall Festival' tomorrow it school. They ain't allowed ta say Halloween. She volunteered ta do the vegetable part of vegetable soup. Comes home with 'taters, carrots, celery 'n such. AND onions. She has a late afternoon appointment headin' up ta minor surgery she has ta have next week.
'Can I do anythin' while yer gone?'
'Yeah. Peel 'n cut up the potatoes. Chop up the celery 'n carrots. I'll put the onions in when I get back 'n start ever'thin' simmerin'.'
Fan-friggin'-tastic. I thought I was done with KP fer the day. Now I got werk ta do 'n in a couple hours the house is gonna smell like a sweaty tee-shirt. She boils that pot o'er on that clean cooktop I'm gonna be pissed. I got gun stuff ta do tomorrow.

You answered yer own question ::)
Proper thing ta say is, "Oh, since yer goin out it'll give me a chance ta ketch up on some things I been meanin ta get done".
Then again, you'll prolly go ta heaven an my butt'll be roastin' in the down below.
What irks me about the banning of the word Halloween is that most folks don't even know it's origin. All Halloweds Eve. Nov first is All Saints day. It's like Christmas Eve an Christmas.
Now I think on it, they prolly call that "Winter Fest" now er somethin like that. Jeez.
Leo
Never heen a big fan of Halloween anyway. I don't need to eat any of the candy. I'm goin' out to eat tomorrow night until it's over.
well, back from the restocking run, ;) we'll be ready now,
we know we won't have 4 or 5 kids but we know they don't have many places to go up here so we'll fill em up. some of the kids been coming since they was born, a lot of the ones that used to come are grown and moved away. haven't had any new ones in years unless they were born around close.
had ta talk Jackie out of dressin up like a witch and scaring the crap out of the poor little fellas several years. :o she likes that jumpin out at ya, she used to jump out at ole Bear when he was little, a wonder he's as old as he is. :o
the last year we were over at Muskogee, she jumped out the door to scare the trick or treaters, a family of blacks was there, I thought the Father was going to run off and leave em. he's the only one who run. ;D but now it scared him . ;D
That reminds me of the story I mentioned somewhere in here about makin that guy smack his head on the ceiling of the cab of his truck. Jackie sounds like a fun gal :D Somethin 'bout bein' raised out here must be the cause ::)
At least we saved them folks the price of a box of Ex-Lax.

I know some got kids and grandkids going trick or treatin tomorrow, read this on another board, thought I'd put it up just to be safe.
There is a new warning put out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency....
Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate coins are being recalled due to the fact that they contain Melamine, the ingredient in milk product that has caused many infant deaths in china.
These candies are sold at Costco, as well as many bulk and dollar stores.
Please make sure to check your childrens halloween candy and DO NOT LET THEM EAT THE PIRATE COINS (you know the ones wrapped in the shiny gold
foil) and please let other parent s know about this!
This is true according to snopes.com

So they jacked up the price a steel an devalued all the gold?
How'd they corner the market on pirate coins anyhow? Canadians involved ta boot? They prolly made them glass top ranges too.
It's all goin in a hand basket I tell ya. :o
Seriously though, if them candies are dangerous, I'll let folks know. Things like that have been known ta happen in the past. I'd rather err on the side of caution when it comes ta lettin' the little ones eat 'em. Melamine is also the name of a synthetic countertop material.

49 this morning, sun is shinning here, just a chance of a shower but still pretty nice, highs in the 70's
we had our first Alligator open season just this last year, by law ya had to have a line attached to the gator afore ya kill it, course a few people had spear guns, but there were pictures on the Arkansas hunting board of a few that got out their ropes and just roped em and shot em.
litl rooster you want the head or heels :o ;D
Mornin'. Thanks for the cup. Tom.
We didn't get any rain last night. I heard a few drops hit the roof, but the ground didn't even get wet. Maybe we'll get something out of the system that's supposed to come through tonight.
Watched Audie Murphy's "To Hell And Back" last night. It was a good movie.
Mornin', y'all.
Nice 'n bracin' out this mornin'. Reckon the alligator done caused somebody ta shut the windy windah up north. Calm out. Don't nobody shoot that'n. He be's on patrol.
Forecast is holdin' pretty fer the range tomarrah. 31 there now 'n it'll be jacket cool in the mornin' but up ta 70 later.
Decided not ta use the Buntlines. Pulled 'em out last evenin'. Kindah ferget how heavy the things are. They'd be pullin' my gunbelt down fer sher. Pair of 7 ½'s will do. There's gonna be a call fer a staged pizzol in January. I know. I wrote the shoot. Kin take one then.
Yeah, those long barrels can weigh a few ounces, Arcey. I have another shooting sequence for you to play with. Two targets, 10 shots. Works with either rifle or pistols. 1 on 1, 1 on 2, 3 on 1, 3 on 2, 1 on 1, 1 on 2. We tried it at out last match and it was a good one. No shooters did procedurals with it so it isn't confusing.
Thankee, Will. I'll hang onta that'n.
Since we n'er know 'bout the weather in January I'm only usin' two rifle, two pistol 'n four shotgun per side. Ain't so much handlin' the steel, stands, props 'n such but we may not be able to get a truck with the stuff in it down range. It's a pain hand luggin' the stuff from the storage conex down range.
They'll have some strange shot sequences, such as a Lawrence Welk on two targets, rifle 'n pistol. Hope I don't get hung 'fore it's over. Ain't puttin' the gallows prop up.......
Mornin' Fellas,
Thanks for the coffee LIT...goes good with this wet mornin'.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays...Yeah I like to wear whatever I feel like. That does mean there have been a few I've gone out the door dressed like a witch with my broom....this mornin' I'm wearin' my cowgirl duds - minus guns..don't think the fellas up to the court house would like that much. Luckily with my chaps I don't have to go through the metal detector....I might just for fun though ;D slicker & hat are perfect for today.
Supposed to be going to a birthday party tomorrow....I have wings and horns and a halio..Hopefully no rain, but we'll see.
And I bought tootise rolls for the kids none of the poision pirate candy :)
Buck glad to hear Sandy is doing ok!
Y'all have a great day!

Done that one a lot. I really like it. I've been thinking about putting one target out just beyond normal pistol distance and having two shooting positions. Change positions for each gun. You could let the shooter decide his own shooting sequence to make it more interesting.
All right boys, A one, and A two!
Will there be a bubble machine at the match?
We finally got our rain, it's perty wet out there.
Leo
Yeah, 'n a boom box for the theme music..............
I have one scribbled in I ain't sure I have the nerve to pull. Pistol from the left rest, dump on P1. Pistol from the right rest, dump on P2.
Grab rifle, loaded with five, from the right rest 'n dump 'em on R2. LDAOE 'n muzzle down range, move to the left rest, load five from the person 'n dump 'em on R1.
If I write the shotgun out it shouldn't be that out if balance, time wise, to what the other posse will be doin' on the other stage set.
There's gonna be a lot of old people mad at ya for shootin' up Lawrence Welk.
well it got ta rainning some, just enough to get ya wet when ya drove the tractor out of the barn to dump your load of litter, so ,came to the house, got 3 houses completely cleaned out, so I can get the other one tomorrow, still got at least 2 1/2 weeks till we need to move the birds.
on this day (in semi recent history anyway) I raised ma right hand on Oct 31, 1971 and joined the United States Army, in the Oklahoma Army National Guard, 37 years ago today. still remember thinkin it was strange joining on Halloween day. but back in them days when a spot came open you jumped that minute if you wanted it.
Funny how dates are remembered. The city hired me effective November 22, 1970.
it is odd and the dates ya remember, sometimes it'll just go by, then the next time you'll think aobut something that happened on that date. still remember Aug. 20, 1970, spun a main bearing on the ole Chevelle, going a little over 100 almost at the end of the quarter and slipped her into 4th gear and started hearin the clickin, :o after the fix it was better, high compression pistons, L-88 solid lifter cam, it's just lope through the drive in's after that. ;D

I like this. I ain't never had to load more than one in the rifle before on the clock. The stage writers ususally keep it way too simple.
