Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee, Stoney.

Slim any wheres from warm to Hot

That's what I was afeared of.  I don't like those Hot shoot. 

Howdy Ya'll, we're back from NC.  Arcey ya should have seen them fried bologna samiches one of the venders wuz sellin at the shoot.  The slab of meat was at least 1 1/4 inch thick and boy wuz they good.  So good that they wuz all out of bologna before noon on Saturday.  The NC State match wuz great.  Good stages, well run and lots of venders...too many venders....now I'm broke.  Guess I need ta sell a bunch more loadin blocks.  We did OK at the match.  Trina wuz 1st Ladies FC, she also won pocket pistol,derringer, long range single shot, Long range lever action Rifle Cal. and Pistol Cal..  I came in 3rd FCD, 116 overall.  Boy them fellers that beat me wuz GOOD.  They placed in the 60s overall.  I didn't see the 2nd place winner shoot but the feller that won FCD wuz Kid Thunder from up in NH I think.  Now that feller can shoot the smoke ....FAST!  He must have x-ray vision or sumptin.  I alos won the Long Range Lever Action Rifle Cal.  Best time I ever shot that in, 5 hits, 200yrds, 13.71 sec.  I even suprised myself

Congrats ta both of ya. 

Just called H. O. Wolding, interviewed with them on 10/19/2007, they had not decided who to hire yet. She said that she had some family issues that she had to deal with and she will be in contact with me.

School Bus Driver Faces Misdemeanor Charges

Jonesboro (AP) - A Nettleton school district bus driver faces a misdemeanor charge after allegedly threatening to shoot several students with a machine gun.

The school district suspended 44-year-old Ervin Franklin Bowdon of Jonesboro, after police said he told students on the way to the Jonesboro Area Technical Center that he should be respected as a former Marine that could hurt them.

Students say Bowdon threatened to "shoot all of you in five seconds" with an AK-47. Officers did not find any weapons in a search of his home and school officials say no one was in danger.

The district says Bowdon has not had any crashes or other complaints filed against him in his 15 years as a bus driver there.

Police say the boys on the bus had "bullied" Bowdon in the past. Bowdon, set to appear in court Wednesday, has been ordered not to have contact with those on the bus.

Mountain Home Lawyer Shoots 'Toy' Gun in Sheriff's Office

Mountain Home (AP) - A Mountain Home lawyer quickly discovered that the small gun someone handed him Friday inside of the Baxter County Sheriff's Office was not a laser pointer.


A sheriff's office report shows lawyer Paul Bayless pulled the trigger of the .380 semiautomatic pistol, firing a round through a wall and into a computer monitor in the other room.

Kenton Treat, a volunteer with the department, handed Bayless the loaded gun a moment before at the lawyer's request.


No one was injured in the late morning shooting. The report shows Treat told Bayless the gun was loaded, but the lawyer pulled the trigger after mistaking its laser sight for a harmless toy.

Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery says the incident stemmed from careless.

He says deputies had no plans to charge anyone in the shooting. Montgomery did not say why the volunteer had a loaded gun in the sheriff's office.

I could be a substitute teacher in WI. You just need a Bachelor's degree. But, I would not consider it because of the lack of respect kids have for their elders. I am not condoning Mr. Bowdon's actions but it appears he was getting fed-up with the bullying he was receiving.

My cousin went to college in MN to become a school teacher. In his first teaching position, which was about 10 years ago, the kids were so disrespectful that he has not taught since. He is a car salesman now.

Dang OT!  Stop telling us about all that... that... that WERK!  I sweat so much just reading it, I had to change my shirt.

[litl rooster]

Got the leaves raked bagged and throwed out to the curb. Hacked an old ugly green bush thing growing in the back. Hauled it to the curb also.   

    Grilled up some food was just finishing supper and the power went out.  We lit up a couple them "stinky" candles. Montana gets her cell calls Dominion, voice automated tells her it a large area tha's out.  ET 18 45 hrs. ...Machine voice ask if they should call her back when the power is back on.   Duh   I guess we wouldn't notice clocks flashing the aquariam startin up and the lights coming back on.

    Took the dog out and was out side and the lights come on....   Think I'll weed eat one more time tomorrow.

Having Knackwurst fer supper. It was a good deal at the grocery so decided to try it.
