Welcome ta the Grassy Knoll--a not so stoopid thread 'bout con speer a see

[Leo Tanner]

There are two kinds of jingle bobs my friend...those that come in through the door an those that come through the window.
     I can just hear Tuco saying that now

  jingle bobs goin through a winder,  well I reckon some cowboy mighta had some on when the husband came home and he had to make a getaway with his boots on.

[Texas Lawdog]

Them jingle bobs could get shot comin' in the wrong winder at the wrong time. Might be better to leave the jingle bobs at home. You can't do "stealth mode" with the jingle bobs.

I guess that I'm in the minority when it somes to divorces and ex-wives, I'm still on my first one, 35 years in March.

It's in the minority too. 17 years in July.

Watch a few Hoppy movies and you'll hear 'em go stealth. 

I have chains on the TO-30 all year. I've used chains on my trucks a few times on ice.

Congrats. on your 17 years, Slim.  I would hate to think about starting over in another marriage. I'm too old and I don't think I could find another lady that would put up with me for very long.

Leo, Besides being a redhead, my wife has put up me and my BS all these years. I think I am still a work in progress.   Cops and ex-wives sorta go together. Now, that I am home more, we've been able to spend more time together, especially at night.

The time is the right time

It's still not up to 32 yet, It's really a raw ol' day. We gotta get out and hit the grocery store to stock up for this week and through New Years. The fireplace feels good today, the dogs seem to like the extra warmth.

No more Redheads? 

BTW, I think I figgured out what the ground shake was here a few weeks ago. It was the kraken in Pearl Lake trying ta break thru the ice. Pearl Lake is a few miles from here.

We supposedly had a little shake around here a couple of months ago. It was only a mile or so north of the house. I never felt anything but it was reported.

[Delmonico]

We get them some winters, when the ground gets good and frozen down deep.  When I'm up-stairs I can feel the house vibrate and rattle, then in a few mor seconds I hear a chrash and a bang.   Scares me the first time every year, then I realize they just humped a car a bit to fast at the RR  yard a 1/2 mile south.

[Silver Creek Slim]

The closest RR yard is 45 miles in Stevens Point.

We need to let California keep them earthquakes to themselves.

[Arcey]

Don’t get the shakes from below. It’s from above. Sometimes the Navy jets get a l’il low. Ain’t on the glide slopes here but occasionally they fly over ‘n they rattle the windows. Ain’t heard one break the sound barrier in awhile. They ain’t supposed ta in town. But when they do………….

The other thing is helicopters. There’s five banks within a mile of here. Two I can see from the back yard. When they get robbed the police fly over low. The ‘whop whop’ shakes the whole house.

No complaints with either. Make all the noise they want. Just sayin’.

[Delmonico]

I get rumbled by low flying KC-135's all the time, they do a lot of touch and go's and bank over us a lot.

[Ozark Tracker]

the Air Guard in Ft. Smith has A-10's, sometimes they'll come up this valley on the north side of us about tree top level, then up the mountain and pop the sound barrier about the time they crest the top,  guess it reverberates off the face of the mountain,  sure stirs the turkeys up.

[Delmonico]

I didn't know the A-10 could go super-sonic.

[Ozark Tracker]

it may not, but the sound off the face of the mountain sure upsets them turkeys.

[Delmonico]

it may not, but the sound off the face of the mountain sure upsets them turkeys.

Upsets Eye-rock-eee tank folks also.

[Texas Lawdog]

Them  A 10s can do some serious damage with rockets and that Gatling gun mounted in the nose.

[Leo Tanner]

The A-10, not yer father's tank buster...

     Livin in Southern California as a kid, we had a doggy door in the kithcen door.  When the super sonics came in the boom was enough ta blow the doggy door flap open.  Then we went an had an earthquake when I was five an thought it just the planes comin in.

When I worked the west side of Ft. Worth, I always got plenty of those jet fighters at Carswell and General Dynamics. Carswell is where they filmed "Strategic Air Command" with Jimmy Stewart.
