Thank you Sir !  straight shooting and shoot clean, best wishes.

We have militaria vendor, that has some items for sale on display in the gift shop,at the Museum.
 From time to time, something will be priced extremely bargain-ish in my humble opinion.
Then with an additional 20% discount its downright grab-it when you see it time.

Good morning folks, already been to Church to meet the termite inspection guy [good report] then heading to the LGS for some lunch breaks and picking up a bunch of brass. Gonna bring it home to use my wet tumbler to get it ready for a shoot next week. We will have a couple of tables there, so even though I won't be shooting, get to hang out and sell stuff from the store. Raining here, but warm, so overall pretty nice. Later Gents.

My 1/2 sister sent me some of my fathers awards, medals and insignia, I need to fine a Gunny Sgt chevron and a shadow box that holds a flag so I can make a display for it.Some I've seen online are priced way out of my budget.

Probably a polite way of telling him and the Government we got it fine.   

Basically. Apparently The state had requested a federal air tanker to help them out, and the feds decided to send a bunch of fire trucks with it. Except, the tanker got diverted midway, so only the trucks showed up. By that time they had figured it out and the trucks weren’t needed.

Michael’s craft store sells a really nice one for about $100. I have two of their square ones for my service memorabilia, and they’re pretty nice.

Went into town first thing this morning, picked up 50 fence posts. Drove 30 of them before a late breakfast. So many rocks, sometimes don't always get to put the post where it needs to be, just try, then move over 6", try again.... Fixing some 40-50 year old fence, the treated oak posts finally giving up. Next up, going to check out the big car show at Lake Ozark. Usually about a thousand entries. And a side trip up to Mennonite country in search of some garden plants we can't find locally.

[Major 2]

I got the new pole saw assembled and cut the branches.
  It wasn't to bad, but unfortunately, I have realized I'm something over the hill for that kinda work.
Climbing a ladder and welding a 9' top heavy chain saw over one's head is hard.
  Anyway, coffee is ready and I'll go have mug, and today just relax.

[Silver Creek Slim]

We got home at 1920. Truck is unloaded.

Hello the camp.
82 here right now and sunny, supposed to hit 87 today. Work a bit this afternoon, then clean more brass tonight. Slept in so it's a slow day. Missus and her friend are out in Nevada, going to the Grand Canyon today. I might just try to start on the Fitzing of my lil revolver.

[Major 2]

That will be righteous!....

Major 2, when you called back yesterday I had got another call.  Seems like when I call someone and miss them someone tries me.  May try you tomorrow late afternoon evening, going to be smoking a turkey I got months ago for free.  If I smoke it and disassemble it and vacuum bag and freeze it then it gets ate over time.  I discovered something called Buffalo Wing Sauce and bought the double jars on sale at Costco.  Yes I had never tried it and I like it, seems it can be used on things other than wings.  Hang me for it but that is one of many stupid Yuppie fads to raise the price of cheap meat.  Danged thing I ever saw, boacon, side meat, chuck roast, sirloin all sky high and beyond their worth because of fads, half have to do with the pellet pushing suzy homemaker grill things.  Yes they produce good food easily but so does a microwave.  They don't make you a pit boss.  Frankly I can do better with my little barrel thing, those don't get the amount of smoke in the meat to make it good, LOL smoker Lite to go with your favorite brand of Lite beer.

[Major 2]

 So Ok    I saw I had missed your call and was just returning the call.

I was actually gifted one of those Tredegar's pellet smokers, as workplace honorarium.
  IT's not the biggest one they make, but I've done Ribs, fish & shrimp, a few London broils and some steaks.
I did manage to do a 16lbs Turkey once, but the lid barely closed.

It's OK for free, and easy enough, It did erupt is fire in the smoke chamber once, so one has to keep a a causes eye out...

They ain't worth the $$$$$$$ or so or at least not to me.

[Major 2]

For free, my crew gave it to me.

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are ready.

Put out my back early yesterday morning, then went to chiropractor. Spent the day ice my lower back. Will do the same today. 

'Tis 45 and overcast. High of 69.

[Major 2]

 My sympathies Slim, I know the pain all to well...
 I hope you can relax and feel better soon.

[DeaconKC]

Been there Slim, praying for you. Day "off" today, but gonna tumble a lot of brass today for this weekends match. My LGS is sponsoring there and I will be working a couple of tables with lots of reloading goodness there. Gonna work on some more coffee too. Later guys.

[Johnny McCrae]

Pork chops again from the Amish Market on the grill followed by some wine and a $1.25 Ceegar all while listening to Rock & Roll from the 50's. As Lou Gehrig said in his farewell speech at Yankee Stadium, I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth. That's me. Oh, by the way, the only time I drink white Wine is when I'm out of Red. The Cigars are over five years old and the wine is from Aldi's at $3.39 per bottle. I'm a a real connasewer.
