Went to the Nugget Casino’s annual Rib Cook Off yesterday. 24 Rib cookers competing for “The Best in the West” title, along with dozens of corn stands, onion ring deep friers, beer and margarita vendors to help keep the hungries away!
Gonna do lobster tails on the grill for supper to night.
Looks like another ten days of sunny mid to upper 80’s weather here in Northern Nevada.

A veteran Marine's letter to islamic extremeists.
“To all you ignorant Islamic extremist f**ks. As I sit here constantly hearing and watching you execute innocent men, women and children in the Middle East I chuckle. Why do I chuckle you may ask? Well let me explain something to you cowardice fools who think you are so tough behind all your propaganda videos. You are scaring a population that doesn’t know how to fight, you’re bullying the weak. You say Islam is the religion of peace,but since when does terrorizing the innocent and beheading men, women and children constitute peace? WTF? But keep in mind, what did Saddam’s troops do when we came rolling into town? They surrendered, twice… So all your empty threats of coming to America and raising your flag over the White House amuse me more than any of you sick, sadistic bastards could ever imagine or comprehend. In 2012 there was about 21.2 million veterans in the United States. Do you understand what that means? Let me break it down for you. That means there are literally millions of disgruntled, dysfunctional, pissed off veterans who have been dealing with years of abuse from their government stabbing them in the backs and having to watch their friends die because you Islamic extremist idiots can’t seem to act like normal human beings and stop terrorism and the violence. It’s one thing to take over an Islamic state, but if my memory serves me correctly, I’m pretty sure we plowed through Fallujah in 4 days. Better yet, it took us about month to control your entire country. At this point, with 13+ years of war under our belts, how long do you think it would take us to do it all over again? I’ll let you draw your own conclusions on that one. Do you really think you stand a chance on US soil? Do you really think it would be smart to poke that bear? Remember, never bite the hand that feeds you. Remember we are armed to the teeth in the US and I can promise you this… the Geneva Conventions will not apply to you. You attack us and there will be no mercy. We will bring the righteous hand of God down upon you and crush you. The ball is in your court now ISIS. We are more than ready to arrange your so called “meeting” with your 72 virgins and send you to your “prophet” Mohamed.”

A Person does not need to be a Veteran to be disgruntled about these teachings!!

It is too hot for anymore Cawffee this morning, I am switching to Iced Tea.
-
81 and humid here. Have a good wind kicking up, too. Wife put the awning in because of it.
Been a repair day here. I put new valve stem felts in the horn that I gave to one of the wife's alumni band members. It needed them when I gave it to her, finally got some. also had to fix the cigarette roller my SIL uses. Turned out to be just clogged up, no parts needed. ::)
-
Got a BBQ brisket sandwich & a tall Ice tea for lunch....
had some rain this afternoon, temps have dropped some, but will steam up with showers gone....
-
Rain this morning, tried to do some casting, but the old Lee Drip-o-matic didn't cooperate. Just about when the mold got good and warmed up, everything running good, then the spout freezes up. So I go away to do something else, while it heats up again.Work on the car for half an hour, come back to find a giant lead Stalagmite(or maybe a stalagtite) all the way from the base to around the spout. Had to un plug the thing, pour out the remaining lead, and take the base off of it to "get the lead out". Now I have a volcano shaped chunk of lead that's too big to fit in the pot.
Catfish, fresh from the freezer for lunch. Probably going to town soon for the weekly grocery run. This weekend feels backwards, had to work Sat, church on sun, then off on Mon...... Feels like Sat and Sun got reversed.
-
We're gonna have Brats, German Potato Salad, and Baked Beans for supper tonight.

It felt like the 4th of July out 'n since it's a holiday we had hot dogs 'n chips.
Salad tomorrow.
-
The Brats and German Potato tasted good! I had a Bud light to wash them down.
-
Happy September good peoples. Piss off extremists, regardless of affiliation. I'm not disgruntled at the moment, but I can get that way in a hurry.
Grilled some T-bones & boiled some whole taters & corn on the cob. Ate early so as to not interfere with my dove hunting.
Ended up with a dozen birds in the bag & only one in the bush (soybeans actually). One was too tore up to keep but there'll still be a good serving for one tomorrow. The Wife won't try em so I don't have to share. ;D
Rack time. Another early day at school tomorrow.
-
I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
-
The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking this morning. Enjoy!
-
Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
'Tis 50 and foggy. "Partly cloudy. A chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning...then a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Patchy fog in the morning. Highs in the upper 70s. West wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent."

Thanks for the coffee
Stu the dove sounds good... Wing shooting is always fun. The season is half over here. Couple more days.
No Doves here,(regretfully)I do hAve some quail though they may hit the grill this afternoon.
Y'all get back to work now.
-
Mornin', y'all.
Gonna be diggin' these dog days of September whilst eunnin' errands 'n waitin' on the afternoon t-storms. 20 days 'til fall. Hope Ma Nature's got 'er calendar marked 'n she don't miss it.
I gotta cook it, fish er fowl, I ain't gonna eat it taday.
-
Toast and Cawffee this morning. Switching to iced tea, too hot for Cawffee.
-
Russ T the grilled lobster sounds good.
Tasted quite good too! After I scarfed that down I had to "not eat or drink" until this morning. Had blood drawn for tests on Saturday and the tech forgot she was supposed to get two samples. By the time she called, I had gobbled up a bacon cheese muffin. So I had to go back this morning and get poked again.
Got to double up on chores today. I didn't do laundry yesterday in honor of Labor Day, so I've got to take care of that and trash day today.
-
Waiting for mechanics to call just ate a scramble/cheese tortilla...
Tex i hope you have a alibi ready for last night.

Couldn't tell brand by the labels in the pic. Lonestar? ::) :o
-
The sad part is they will use a bucket loader to pick up the beer and dump it. Insurance will pay for the load,it's cheaper than trying to salvage it.
-
The lobster looked better in real life. The camera in my phone doesn't always focus properly.
-
I am afraid that the beer would have been too shook up to drink and prolly hot.
-
The beer'd settle out..............
My camera focuses all too well. Gonna be likin' it when images like this are a bad memory.

Old rule, don't do stupid things in a marked company vehicle. This guy was making a delivery next door yesterday, SD was going to leave, they were all out on the porch, plenty of room to pull forward, wouldn't do it, said it was easy to get out if she wanted, not the point rectal opening.
Had a talk with his boss including the part where he told me to try to reproduce by myself. ::)
Boss had me E-Mail the picture, I recommended a public flogging, boss said it would not be nice, but would stop short of the flogging. ::) The guy in the white car got there after he left so no ticket, but said to call again and they'd try to ticket it next time, don't think there will be a next time. ;)

Damn you were young once upon a time.

Weren't we all ::)
We've had rain off and on here today. No boomers,though. Short day because of the weather, so I went and got a hair cut, and while out, got a finial for one of the LR lamps, plus some of that Gorilla Glue Super Glue. Been having trouble with my work hikers soles coming loose. Been using a cheap super glue and it doesn't seem to hold very long :-\
-
So the disgruntle hatter/coosie will piss the neighbors off when they can get ther O2 delivered.
I've had other problems with people stopping next door parking in my drive, if they can't train their visitors better so be it. It's a rental with about 3 apts anyway.
-
Some folks just take advantage of the situation.
-
That goes both ways you have to become diverse whatever that means. Show some love- compassion- maybe offer to help- suggest alternatives....
.then some times you need to tell them to get the hell out of the way.:)
-
We had a guy doing doughnuts in the intersection outside our house a couple years ago. Finally lost it and ended up broadside in our driveway. Almost hit out car. Then he couldn't get his 2-wheel drive truck out of the snow drift there. Tore up the drive for about ten minutes before we shoveled him out. At least he was apologetic about it.
City trip went okay, I guess. Long and boring, but okay. Ate out, and it messed up my digestive tract something awful. Thing in the car said 99 degrees.
Y'all enjoy your evening.

-
We had pasta salad with grilled chicken for supper, It was good and okay for the hot weather.

Was considering locking The Field Marshall in 4 WD low and locking in the hubs, got a roo guard on front anyway.
-
Awake, still.....
Got some water heating, maybe have some tea before trying to get some sleep again. Didn't make any coffee yet, though.
Spent half the evening fighting the computer, and yahoo, they both won the battle for the day.
Hip and leg aching again, seems to come on for a few weeks or a month, then mysteriously goes away for a while, then return. Only thing I know for sure about it it, it makes it hard to sleep, and lack of sleep makes it worse >:(
-
I have that same problem. My right hip and leg lock up some times. I have gotten a cane which helps me get around much easier.
-
Mornin', y'all.
Decided not ta look at the NWS page. Just suck it up 'n go. Thinkin' the last time I shot a .22 on the clock was '97 at a bowlin' pin. Should be interestin'. Ain't shot 'em at much at anything since then.
Figger out the evenin' meal later.
-
I'll start the pots ;)
61 and heavy patchy fog ::)
Keys to the kingdom today ::)

Thank you for Coffee
Rained yesterday evening much needed- humidity is up though.
Taking the big girls to Vet this morning- altering their ladyhood. They are upset with me since they are use to eating right now.
Hint from Uncle Ralph protect the bald spot witb a hat even if it id overcast out.
-
Water blisters on your head are painful. Goos luck at the vet's with your girls. It is about time for Victoria's yearly checkup.
-
They think i hate them- but dropped off now will pick up in morning. They were weighed and are continue grow and put weight on. Still apprensive about going in the door at Vets but, loaded better in truck.
All done on to quieter things today
-
Today is another carbon copy of yesterday, mid 80’s and sunshine.
The Reno Balloon Races start tomorrow, then the Virginia City Camel Races are this weekend. We’re thinking about going up on Saturday for the Camel Races and to listen to the Comstock Cowboys at the Bucket of Blood Saloon
Got an email from our vet saying the two cats are due for their rabies shots. Need to get them in next weekend (they aren't going to be happy campers).

I remember when Hendrix came out with his version of it.
It would often play it on an 8 track, boom box in the hanger bay when we came into port.
The "Brass" hated it!
May be why I liked it? Still do.
My best,
Blair
-
Back home from taking Mom marketing and paying her bills. Too hot out to do anything else. Hope it wasn't too bad for Arcey's .22 shoot.
-
LIT I am curious how it went too.
Had Messican for lunch- chicken taco salad pretty tasty with sweet tea.
-
Taco salad was invented by a janitor at taco bell. :o
-
He wasn't very good with the switch board.
-
Beef Stroganoff is on the menu for supper tonight. Should give leftovers until my next cooking night on Friday.
Hope to see some balloons drift over tomorrow morning, if the wind stays out of the same direction.
-
My wife makes a mean Beef Stroganoff. We have it in the fall, when the weather gets cooler. We had a Mexican Pasta salad last night that was good. No clue for supper tonight, I had a sub sandwich for lunch.
-
Taco salad was invented by a janitor at taco bell. :o
I always thought it was invented in school cafeterias, just to use up broken tacos and leftover filling.
-
We finished off the leftover Brats tonight with the baked beans and German Potato Salad. Yum Yum! Victoria enjoyed one of her own.
-
Hay....
Freakin' hot. One left early. The MD cut it short.
Didn't shoot werth a crap. Swear I coulda shot it quicker with the Camp 9 'n a Glock.
It'll go faster next time. This was the first attempt 'n in light of that it went well. Roughly based on the former Ruger now USSF Challenge.
-

What kind of pistol did you use?
-
I am sure that he used a Smith 38, he usually does.
-
TLD, I think this one was a .22 match.

Mornin', y'all.
Pushin' ninety with the afternoon rain thing. Rained o'ernight. E'erthin's wet.
Used a 2206 Smith 'n a 10/22 Ruger. .22 rimfires.
Target set stays the same for the match. Ya shoot 5, 6 or 7, any order, last shot always goes onna specified target referred to as the 'Stop Plate.' Pistols at 7 yrads then the same set/number with the rifle from 25 yards. Anywhere from 3 to 5 strings per firearm. Slow time tossed, total time from there.
No movement, no holsters, show clear on the line. Start from low ready. If ya think ya missed a target shoot at it again. A miss is +2. Max time or DNF is 30.
Right much fun.

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. Victoria and I slept in. I fixed some toast to go with the Cawffee.

The Rumors of Betty White death are unfound.......social media speed shooters report Betty White dyes----
-
Well the weather was perfect for the balloons this morning! Winds 2-3 MPH were blowing from the launch site right to my house, temp hanging about 60.
Darth was right over the AM PM a block from the house (right where ET landed a couple years ago).
-
The beagle went right over the house and was low enough I got a chance to ask if they had a pooper scooped with them.
-
The beagle's departure.
-
Brought the girls home from Vet they were happy to be home..... Remarked all their territory
-
Ya need ta catch up with one them balloon jockey's, Russ. Make 'em a proposition. Ya offer ta take 'em to Norfolk where they can blow the things up with air, float it on the Hague it the Chrysler 'n call it a sculpture. Folks in the artsy crowd'll call 'im an artist 'n pay 'im money ta stick it in the water. You get 50%.

Joan Rivers is the one that died, not Betty White. I had some Vienna sausages, pepper jack cheese, and some Ritz crackers for lunch. No clue for supper. I got my haircut, picked up my cleaning, picked up some pants from the alteration shop, and gassed up the P/U.
-
Normal chores around here, too hot earlier for much else and too rainy this afternoon.
The person from SafeLite came out this morning and repaired the front window on the Cadillac.
-
Early this morning social media that would be facebook twitter and the services had posted Betty White dyed! Age 90 . Local news broke with the falase report here. At that time they claimed Joan Rivers had been moved from icu to a private room. How fast things can turn.
Note one word in the fake report was spelled wrong....
RIP joan

He's the one i thought of when i read this
You'd thunk after 20 missing socks you'd be suspicious of their whereabouts.
-
It sounds like the Great Dane had a real sock fettish. No clue for supper tonight. I got my new CCH permit in the mail today. I'm good for another 5 years.
-
Cooked a whole pig butt yesterday, pig butt samwhiches tonight, more leftover pig butt stuff the next few day. ;D

Might try "Sock It To Me Stew" ::) ::) ::)
-
It sounds like the dog's owners need to secure the socks. Maybe the dog was lonesome and ate the socks because they smelled like it's owners.

Arcey
I think there is a pirate ship balloon, but haven’t seen it yet ( but it is only day one). I think the problem would be that by the time the keel of the ship was on the water line, it would be very hard to keep the burner llit. ;D
-
I saw that article Arcey. Sounds like the owners were clueless. Maybe it was just one sock of each type and they blamed it on the washing machine or the dryer.
I guess the frog that won the contest just wanted to get stoned!
-
Evening y'all.
Long days are becoming the story of my life. The problem is, I don't foresee them getting any shorter for the next 50+ years... ::)
Drove the new car most of the way to the city, then traded with the mother for in town.
Deer rifle season starts in two weeks. Getting excited 'bout that.
have a test for Math class tomorrow. bleh.

-
I can't sleep tonight.That's another problem about being old. Too many aches and pains.
-
TLD, looks like you and I get Nighthawk duty,I'll bank the fire for the early risers and put up the makings for biscuits and ham steak.I haven't been sleeping well either,I'll get 1 to 2 hours then wake up for 30 minutes or so then repeat the process for the rest of the night.See Y'all in the a.m.
-
That's how it works with me as well, I play of my IPad and channel surf on the Satellite dish. The ham biscuits sound good. I gotta have that Cawffee in the morning, right after I wake up.
-
That's how it works with me as well,
Ditto
I must have the best checked plumbing in the county....
Shoulders & R. knee are my pain points.... took a Naproxen a few minutes ago, that will make the day some better.
Fresh ham biscuits sound mighty good, thanks for the Jo.
-
Mornin', y'all.
Same as yestitty. 17 days 'til fall.
Thinkin' if a dog, 'specially a big'un, decides ta eat sumthin' 'cuz it smells like me my hind parts gonna be in the barn loadin' heavy stuff fer one both the dual exhaust Stoegers.
Bein' out 'n playin' in Wednesday's heat drained me. Last two evenin's I've crashed come night-night time. Up each night since only once ta pump bilges 'n that's it. Slept 'til almost 0600 yestitty mornin'.

Our age has changed the meaning of an "All nighter" for sure ::) ;D

Would feel a little guilty reporting that I slept 7 straight hours I it hadn't been with the aid of a prescription pain pill.
Busy weekend planned. Helping the Student Council run the concession stand at this evening's football game. Tomorrow we're peddling popcorn at the big car auction. Sunday is Dress Rehearsal for the Musical.
Monday morning I'll see the cancer doc & find out the plan for the next round of that fight.
60 degrees & a light rain falling right now. 'Spectin a high of 69. Hope they're right, was a hot one yesterday.
-
Thanks for the Cawffee and grub this morning. I usually sleep about 3-4 hours a night. Victoria and I take naps in the afternoon to make up the difference. Good luck with the next round of chemo, Stu.
-
Up till mid night most nights- rarely need to check plumbing in middle of night. I have never slept long periods. However the older i get the more little naps i like. Awe a stop light....
Off to water garden rain keeps circling me here.
Then to "The Walmart" - need gameday snacks.
-
Some old lady gets up a lot and says crap, crap crap, she tries to laugh but can't when I say no it's cramp, cramp, cramp. The Rowdy whines cause he feels sorry for her and I tell her to quit scaring him. Then I go back to sleep since there is nothing I can do, I've asked plenty. ::)
-
I am sure that Rowdy naps a lot when no one is at home. She may be low on potassium, which causes leg cramps. I try to eat bananas and drink orange juice to prevent them.o

Drs say no, it's part of her bad knee problem, I think low on carbonate but she won't try the fix, says it tastes nasty, baking soda and water.
-
Have her try it with less water. If it will fit in a shot glass she might be able to get it down without tasting it.
-
Put whiskey or tequila in that shot glass!

I'd have better luck with the baking soda.
She's off on an adventure with two of her cousins today, going to the safari park tween here and Omaha and then to some fish place in Omaha called Joe Tess. Told her if she gets lost call 911 and they can track her on her cell phone.

Arcey
Didn’t see the pirate ship this morning, but did see a big gold fish balloon that might like the Hague. The problem would be with the EPA for introducing a possible invasive species to the local ecology.
Two more mornings to find the pirate ship.
-
Might wanna hurry a l'il, Russ. 'Cordin' ta the
global warnin' climate change climate disruption folks, Norfolk's sinkin' the sea level's risin'.
-
All the more room to float the pirate ships, large ducks and big gold fish!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Victoria and I had a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. No clue for supper. The weather folks are saying that we have a 20 per cent chance of rain for today, tomorrow, and Sunday.
-
Deep fried beer batter fish, hush puppies and fries for supper tonight.
-

Might not be for Rita's problem- for any of you others who are having leg issues and are losing sleep over it... I highly reccomend this product called Dr Thurston's complex K it is a liquid supplement. Completely safe to use.... Doesn't cure kroup or baldness or women's hysteria. I know my great granddaddy after the northern occupancy tended to peddle such quackery. I am serious about this it does work.
-
Picked up some nice looking Muscadines today... Mmmm they are good eating... Cain't wait to eat into them. I may also plant some come spring.
Russ sounds like a feast is set. Need to get some more fish in the little ice trap.
-
I used to wake up at night with aches and pains and to pump bilges. Told the doctor about it and he asked my wife if I snored. she said sometimes. He had me tested for sleep apnea. Now when I lay down at night whether it is 9PM or 11PM I turn on the machine and put on the mask and I am out till the alarm rings in the morning.
-
Evening y'all.
City trip went ka-put. Showed up for class with the work ready. The teacher says, "those of you who are done with the test can leave whenever you want." I left after fifteen minutes. ::)
I drove the car all the way from Whiskeytown today. For those of you not in the know, that's about 40 miles from my house, over one large summit and a whole bunch of curvy road over smaller hills. Almost got rear-ended by a semi comin' up. Guy was kind of driving like a jerk...
Sister and Brother have soccer games tomorrow. In the morning, I'm going to go do some practicing with the deer rifles, then come back and do some 4x4-ing with my truck. Might see if I can convince a certain young lady to come along as well. ;)
Now that all the good news is out of the way, I can get to the bad.
My friend's cousin is currently sitting in the Trinity County Jail with a murder charge hanging over his head. :o Here's the story as it has been told by the suspect.
Apparently this cousin's dad was out last night driving, when "somebody (nobody knows if it was a person or Bud Light)" made him swerve into a light pole. This morning, he got upset and grabbed his handgun and told his son he was going to go kill this person. The son gets between him and the door, pulls the handgun out of his own pocket and tells him he's not going anywhere. The dad starts to raise the gun, but the son gets his out first and hits the father in the upper right arm. The father died in the ambulance because of a cut artery.
On the one hand, you got to hand it to the kid. He did what he felt he had to do.
On the other hand, how does he feel, knowing he killed his own father?
This "kid" is actually 20-some, with a "significant other" and a two year old daughter.

Well, the brother's soccer game was a little bit of a flop... 6-0, not in our favor.
Sister did a little better. 3-0, though still not in our favor. :-\
Nothin' really went right for me, either:
1)Truck wouldn't stay running
2)didn't get to go 4-wheeling
3)didn't get to take the girl 4-wheeling(or do anything with her at all, 'cept stand under the same shade canopy. ::) )
4)didn't get to go dove hunting
5)didn't get lunch or dinner because of company
Of course, on the bright side, I did get my brother's shotgun fixed. ::)
I am kind of nervous about tomorrow, though. First real math exam at the college. I got 100% on the practice test, so... Wish me luck!

Gotta slice of ham defrostin'. Really like ta be dicin' it up 'n dumpin' it in the pot with a whole buncha beans. Too early tho. Patience – won't be long.

Arcey, Jerry didn't look too happy last night. Garrett is not the problem, Jerry is the problem, he has an Al Davis complex. The Defense sucks, the Offense sucks, even Special Teams are lousy.

Had enough football for one weekend. Breakroom had one game on the console had another all day, got home to watch the final plays in the land that Coor's built.

What he has is a re-blued 1917 with modern N Frame grips, it also has M1937 Brazilian markings.

Burgers were good on Saturday! We Invited our friend up to Virginia City for the Camel Races, on Sunday, then the Comstock Cowboys playing at the Bucket of Blood.
We told our friend that they had Camel Races, Ostrich Races, Emu Races and Chicken Races. She wanted to know how you could race chickens. Told her you get behind them and fire blanks into the air. She discovered that the Emus and chickens were chased around the course by small children. The camels and ostriches are actually ridden by jockeys.
Was great to be in a saloon with 75 percent of the clientele were like me (dressed in period attire and carrying period firearms)!

Arcey
We haven’t had any rain around here since early August (and that was a totally weird heavy downpour). I put a stop to that strange weather by putting up a rain gauge.
I think I need to take down the rain gauge and sell the snow blower to get rid of this 3 year drought we’re in!
-
We could sure use some rain around here.
-
Looks like the Arcey River is rising again. Plenty of rain out here, helped the kids clean their new rental house over the weekend.
-
Still no Rain in sight. No clue for supper tonight. We had pizza last night.
-
We've been getting a little rain now & then. Not the 6" Del was bragging about, but more than we're used to.
This is day one of my new chemo cycle. So far so good, no ill effects as of yet.
Popcorn sales on Saturday was a bust. Didn't have near the crowd they were expecting for the car auction. Dress rehearsal was disappointing. Lot of the cast didn't know their lines or the music yet. Not surprised, still not happy about it.
Had meatloaf for supper. Meatloaf sammich for lunch tomorrow & maybe the next day. Always been my favorite thing to put between two slices of bread.
-
Good to hear report, Stu.
Braunschweiger and thinly sliced red onion on pumpernickel bread, with dark mustard, is a close second to a good cold meatloaf sandwich.

evenin' y'all.
Math test went pretty well. Only one question I wasn't sure about.
went for a walk with my friend. We went about a mile up a creek, then cut across some brush and up a steep hill to the top of a ridge. From there we returned to the cars, then walked up another road. Saw a bear -I won't say it fell out of the tree, but it wasn't exactly a controlled descent. We returned to the cars after that... didn't know where mama bear was. :-\
Got some rain up on the hills today. About 2". Enough to get the creek flowing (had been completely dry for the top four inches of bed), and cold and muddy. The two dogs enjoyed it, though.
We have some deer in our neighborhood that are rather friendly toward me. Backstory, I rescued these twins when they still had spots, and they remember me. Every day I go outside and give them some apples. Sometimes one, (call him "Spike") will actually take it out of my hand. Kind of fun. :)

Outstanding day one , Stu...
We are in day 4 of a 60% rain cycle , in fact they are posting 80% today & 60 % tomorrow.
Once again, it was white out like driving conditions on the Turnpike commute home last night.... ( spray & hard rain )
Testy, as the Maroons can't seem to drive in rain.
RCJ , that Braunschweiger on pumpernickel bread w/ red onion sounds GREAT... have to try that !

Mornin', o'ersleepers.
Still rainin'. Kinda light but steady. Water receded 'in 'bout an hour or so. Right peaceful.
N'er did get any electrical stuff from the clouds but more'n nuff water ta distribute ta those wantin' ta come get ya some. The pilot (lower case intended) went ta the low places what flood in a drizzle, always have, took pictures 'n run 'em so the masses can see the 'counties' are in dire peril of sea level rise. Readin' o'er 700,000 folks lost power. Went out here long 'nuff ta restart the computers, set all the digital clocks ta blinkin', the FIOS boxes ta reboot 'n the dishwasher ta say it's ready ta run.
Stuff ta do, wet er dry. Not the least of which is menu plannin'.

64 and startin' to get light here ::)
Today the crew comes in to shut down the pool..........YEA!We put the last of the furniture away yesterday, along with the ladders and rails. Did some mowing,too. After we babysit the crew,probably will try to mow some more as long as Ma Nature doesn't interfere ::)

Just put together a sweet potatoe salad - kind of half stole from Rachele Ray.

Moose has Open House at her school tonight, no clue for supper tonight. Victoria has been napping in the back, now she is on duty in the backyard on guard duty.

The salad has marinaded now and turned out pretty tasty too. I started to use the bobby flay recipe. Happy with this one don't need to change it anytime soon.

Victoria and I had chili dogs from Sonic for supper tonight.
-
Had a salad for lunch , "She that must be obeyed" had a Rah- Rah meeting with her MK ladies, so I nuked a pair of Hotdogs for my menu tonight as well , Mustard & onion though.
Hit the sheets early and paying for it now, plumbing check and awake :-\
-
Roger, I am with you on the wide awake!

I'll keep you some company too...
Okay, here's the scoop:
In Spanish class, there is an "online portion." meaning you have to go onto a website to do half the homework. I've been doing the hard copy work up until today...then I came to a spot that told me to refer to the video. I shrugged my shoulders and went to get online. Got there, and the class code didn't work. After two hours of trying, I finally got on, and just decided heck with it, and did three weeks of work in the last three hours. Still have a week more before the test/due date Thursday. :-\
had first practice for community band tonight. I played first chair and third chair mostly, depending on what music we had. I only played second, which is my official title, once. ::) Such is life.
Going to the city tomorrow. more government funded hell education. On the bright side, at least I can get an education in this country. It just drains the energy out of me faster than any physical labor I've ever done.
Night y'all.

Pots on, I'm awake, don't know why, may go back to bed later.
"Learned" something new yesterday, didn't take at all, basically our buyer for hats told me I'm supposed to sell the customer what he thinks they should want rather than what the want. ::) Guess how that went over, he left with my list of "demands" but wasn't happy, also left with a list of what he bought he thinks they should buy and will mark them down and see if they sell that way.
Damn it must be hard to be stupid, no one likes you but other stupid people. ::)

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. You can't fix STUPID!
Yeah you can, just take them to the vet like a dog or cat.
He was trying one time to tell me I'm old and out of touch and I told him I had kids older than him and grandkids older than his kids.
And no I'm not out of touch with the younger hat buyers either, don't mean I have to like what they want or they should buy what I like.
-
Mornin', you people.
0615 'n still dark out. Arcey like. Now to get the temps down. O'er 80⁰, tomorrow 90⁰. Arcey no like.
Thinkin' on pointin' the station wagon at the Farmers Market for vegetables. Rabbit food for tomorrow. See if I can find a hunk of fish for the evenin'. Beef Vegetable soup's gonna taste sooooooo good when the time comes.
-
Such is the SALES mentality ...I hate that ! >:(
I WILL NOT be told what I want.... is the fastest way to see my exit .....or dial tone ...
The second way is to cop an attitude , when I politely and if that does not take , then not so much, tell them what I DO want !
bottom line.. "my money... my rules !
and my standard Line ... when "they" bring up X # of years, they've been the so called expert "so & so"...
"I have underwear older than that " ! ... I usually do ! :)
-
The guy's got a quota to make, and the company wants him to sell those particular models. The experience doesn't count. At least for them. ::) :P
Had a big chef's salad for lunch yesterday. It was good. Pork chops and broccoli for supper.
Keys to the kingdom today, will have to keep an eye on the weather,though. ::)
Busy day yesterday, pool crew came in and closed the pool down for the winter.....Yea!!!!!Mixed rewards, though. It means we're closer to plowing and hefting 50lb. bags of salt :-\ We mowed the barn area in the afternoon.
Thanks for the coffee ;)
-
Hehe
-
Gardening day today. Maybe some mowing
-
I figured you'd agree with me, I ain't changing my methods, this dipstick is the only with a problem with what I do and he really has no control over me, he's just the buyer. Bottom line, I sell lots of hats, I have very happy customers and them young kids like the grumpy/mad hatter persona.
My hat is out of shape and I don't know why, "you left it in the hot pick-up." Yeah how did you know that, "it looks like it." Most it's their first hat and they never realized what would happen. I put it back together if I can and explain why it's bad. I teach them that when I sell them a first hat.
I sell a lot of a certain cheap black hat, not a good hat but decent for the price,$59.98, most are bought by college kids going out line dancing and chasing diseased wimmin, he told me I should be selling them more expensive hats. yeah like they have the money for it. Pointed that out, explained who buys them in that exact terms I just did and pointed at a case at a certain high dollar hat and mentioned that we make more money off them than that $749.98 hat that has never sold. Nice hat, wrong brand, also explained you can't sell a red tractor to guys who's dad and grandpa told them to only buy green.
Battle most likely ain't over, but I hit him hard yesterday. Nick the one manager who was there and I were talking later about how he still don't fully grasp it. I told him there is a bit of fun in doing battle like that. LOL it was funny, the two managers walked in with him and never said a word, dumbing knew they were there more for his protection than anything cause they know I can get pissy, asked them to come and tell me when i got too nasty and out of line. ;)

We have a tornado warning for Medina, Wayne and Summit counties up right now. :P
Today was my electrical problem day. Started out with a control frying down at the sewer plant, number one blower is down. Then had a breaker popped in the barn/ community center. Got that straightened out and proceded to do some clean up in the restrooms. Went to turn on the lights in the kitchen area to empty the sweeper bin and POP! fizzz.........lights went out in the kitchen. Think it's the transformer in the 40 something year old flourescent fixture. We'll look into that one tomorrow. Boss decided to turn truck over early, and while we were down at the sewer plant I got a call from the Asst. Manager that a tree had fallen on an electrical box up in the old section. We had to go check on it. Box was okay, tree just brushed it, plus it was a fairly small tree. We'll probably cut that one up on Friday. Wasn't even storming/windy either. Probably lucky it wasn't, might've come down harder ::) :-\

WHEW! Got the laptop running again. Don't really like the mini I-pad my wife has, can't hardly see it and my fingers are too big to hit the right buttons on the touch screen. Internet explorer wouldn't explore, just kept giving me a message "Internet explorer has stopped working". Shop quoted $120 to go through it and clean it up, I wasn't going to do that for a 3 year old laptop, so then she just went in the settings and re-set something and it works again, and advice for a free program to help clean out the malware. Hmmmm... Now if I can just get Excede satellite to stay up, and Yahoo to stop telling me my password is wrong, I'll have this computer thing whipped!

PE, next you will have to figure out how to do something else. No clue what it might be, but there's always something.
City trip went kind of boringly... snooze.
I have to say, I've about had it with my little Ranger. Can't keep the stupid thing running! I'm thinking of selling it and buying an F-250...

That warning stayed up for quite a while. That particular cell was really active and caused sightings in 3 or 4 counties before it finally quit. There was some damage reported from it. All we got was some rain. Just quit raining here a few minutes ago. Might be it for the rain now, but temps are going to be lower for the next week. Highs in the 60's and into the 40's for over night ones ::)

We now have a generation of kids that, are going to school who were not born yet. They are learning about it like many of us did of Pearl Harbor.
Thanks for the coffee

I was born in 1947, so WW2 was still fresh. We had several POW camps in the Texas Panhandle. My Dad was in the Air Corps in pilot training when Pearl Harbor was bombed. He was enroute to the Pacific when we dropped the Atomic Bombs. Dad didn't talk which about the War until I was in Junior high. He did live to see 9-11. I am sure that he always remembered Pearl Harbor and I will always remember 9-11.

I was at work at the Post Office, sorting mail to get ready to go out on the route. Wasn't paying attention to the radio, when a guy next to me says a plane hit the World Trade Center. No more news than that at first, we just figured some Cessna driver got lost and crashed into it. Didn't take long for more news to come. Didn't see it on TV until after work, when I got home.

I was in the Norfolk Police Computer support unit working when we heard plane hit the first tower. Saw the second one hit on TV and knew it wasn't an accident. We had the Emergency Center, referred to as the , "War Room", set up before the call came from downtown to activate it. Then I went over to the 2nd precinct and set up the Police Command Center, which is were I spent the next several days.
-
Seems like an "Arcey" kind of day here, only 59 degrees at almost 9AM. Light mist of rain. Starting to look like fall, walnut trees have a few yellow leaves, and the soybean field across the road has a sprinkling of yellow leaves too.
-
Anxiously waitin' for those days, PE. Sounds real nice.
Had taken a few days vacation ta practice up for retirin'. Been to a shoot outta town, come back Monday afternoon. Tuesday mornin' I'd just started shovin' Goex crud out the shotgun out in the barn when I heard of the initial strike via radio 'n thought what PE thought but decided ta go in 'n see what the video looked like. Hadn't been in more a few minutes when the second strike happened.

Lest We Forget! I have that engraved on the frame of my 51 Navy. Those words ring true for us as citizens of the greatest country in the World.

Afternoon y'all.
Spanish test went well, I think. We'll see next week.
So, where was I when I heard about the news...
I was asleep on the front sofa with my grandma when my mom came in the door and said that someone had rammed the World Trade Center. we turned on the tv, and watched the second hit, then heard about the Pentagon. That was the day I learned to drink coffee, as well.

-
I was at Home, heading for Location for "God & Generals "and packing to Fly up to BWA on the 12th.
My wife was at her work and called " turn on the TV " it was just after 9 AM....
I went and filled the Super Duty with Diesel, then the Jeep with gas... figured those commodities might soon be in short supply.
Course, my flight the next day was canceled indefinitely, nor was I too keen on flying anyway :o
Couldn't get even through to the AM/Track ...and a Bus was out of the question...
So, after sitting at home, and needing to be in Hagerstown, MD. I decided to drive.... Fuel was not all shorted after all.
I drove the I-75 to I-81 route, stayed plenty clear of the DC I-95 corridor.
-
TK, You were fairly young when it happened. I am 67, and prolly old enough to be your Grandfather. It hit me hard because I had been up there numerous times on fugitive extraditions and had met many NYPD officers.
-
Hi ...Jim see your up too ... plumbing check, couldn't get back to sleep....
Figured I'd drop in here, maybe check GB , and plug in the coffee pot timer thingy.
Speaking of " being hit hard " I was to Fly the next day and into that very area where American Airlines Flight 77 ( Pentagon plane )
originated.
I think it 5-6 days before the National grounding of all flights was lifted.... Travel was VERY confused , Trains included.

TK you learned to drink coffee at 3?
-
Woke up to 34º and a snow covered pick-up this morning. The ground was too warm for any to pile up, but we got some moisture out of it.
The antics of the Haden family are pretty low on my give-a-sh!t-ometer.
I don't doubt that the Kid started drinking coffee at 3, but it's very unlikely that he has any real memories of the actual day. More likely implanted memories from hearing the story repeated over the years. The brain of a 3 year old is just reaching the point of having enough neural connections to form permanent memories. (Thus endeth the psychology lesson).
My daughter started drinking coffee right about age 3. My trapping partner would show up at what I considered still the middle of the night and make coffee in my kitchen. By the time I emerged from my room dressed & ready he would be at the table with my baby girl on his lap, both of them sipping coffee. He told me not to worry, it has plenty of milk & sugar in it ::)
Looks like I missed the "where were you then" yesterday. I was teaching American History to a bunch of 7th graders at Maxwell, Nebraska. Like Pony, I had plenty of ammo & components on hand. I did fill up the pick-up that day & put an AK & several loaded magazines behind the seat before I left for school the next morning.

Was either Monday or Tuesday news of her accusations was broadcast by Fox in the hourly national radio news break on 790 AM. The article is dated yesterday. Guess they saved it for a filler. After all, there's nothing else of importance to run.
Stumblin' 'round the house in silence. The village idiot decided to talk about Ray Rice 'n peripheral issues. It's as if we don't have interesting local issues - we do. I'll turn it on come 1000 hours. If the village idiot, jr. decides to talk about it I have some Led Zeppelin all cued up.
The news media, in all forms, maintains its downward spiral. As always, I long for viable local talk radio in Tidewater Hampton Roads Coastal Virginia discussing local topics.

Have you all noticed flour is no longer in a 5 pound sack

Yep noticed that. same story for sugar. Cereal & chips come in the same size package with lowered net weight printed on em. Bacon doesn't come I pound packages any more either. Most people don't notice, that's why it works. Heard someone complaining about paying $5 for a pound of bacon the other day & said that'd be a pretty good deal. Best I've seen lately is 12oz for $5.

Tomorrow the family is going to the "Amateur Radio Emergency Service Northern California Sunday Morning Emergency Communication Net"(could call it "ARESNCSMECR" for short but it sounds like cussing, ) annual picnic.

Been busy since Wednesday last. Son in Law grabbed our daughter around the throat and smacked her several times, she called her Mom and while she was on the phone I called 911. Norfolk's Finest hauled his butt off. We now have the daughter, two granddaughters, two dogs, a cat and a turtle moved in with us. The dirtbag is refusing to give her any money but wants his stuff. She has an Emergency Protective Order against him and she is in court this morning getting an extension to it. We got the grandkids settled at school this morning out here in Chesapeake, the bus will be picking them up and dropping them off at the end of the driveway.

Them ones arcey pictured probably older than Grandma Wells. They are a little bigger breed- i'd agree with Del one of them ducks toasted with some kraut and dumplings would be tasty. Or some duck sausage. The other way is to take some compressed air, then inflate the skin away from the carcass. Then drop it in the turkey frier.

City trip was okay today. got a 95% on my Spanish test, so, that helps.
Had band practice this evening. it started late, ended the same way, and then I had to walk home. That's all okay, except that I drank nearly a liter (I used a metric measure, but I refuse to spell it with an "re" ::) ) before practice.
The band was missing a few people as well, so some sections were somewhat lacking. Oh well.
Doing some final homework, then going to bed.

Morning
Finally got my new PC up and running. Lost the hard drive on my old one and it was a toss up to just replace the drive, or the whole desktop, (went with the latter). Managed to recover all of my email files, including user files, contacts, and calendar. All my other user files were also recovered, so I just had to reinstall some software and go thru all my settings. I Think I’ve got them all. The good thing is it cleans out a lot of old deadwood!
Got some real clouds overhead this morning, but they’re rather thin, and don’t have enough moisture to cause a threat of rain. Most of it is smoke coming north from the fire over in California, South of Lake Tahoe. The smoke gets worse in the afternoon when the wind picks up. I like the smell of a good campfire, but this is a bit too much!
-
Made a few clouds of my own this afternoon- shot my Walker for the first time......."awesome"
Tried out some Hornady Lites... I would compare them to 4 grains of titegroup and 125 grain cast bullet. The Lites shot a little 12" high compared to the reloads mentioned. Fired from a Ruger SP.101 with 2" barrel. they did improve from my S&W with 41/2" barrel.
Then over to Oneonta Al. Not NY for some pulled pork on a bun and fried pickles. Sammich was too big to finish so supper is in the white box. Looked at a 4 wheel dump cart for lawn n garden work at tractor supply. May have to borrow pick up and go get one.

Afternoon y'all.
City trip was okay. Just, rather boring.
I have an interesting decision here. I'm thinking about bidding on a 1991 Chevy 3/4 ton. It's a silent auction for a retired fire department chief's vehicle, so it's been well cared for. I would just have to sell my Ranger if I got it. Trade a V6 Ranger 4.0 for a V8 Silverado 5.7, with a corresponding loss in mileage. I've got until October 1 to enter, so, time is on my side for now.
I tested myself last night to see how close I am to being able to pass the Air Force Personal Fitness Test.
requirements are:
-70 push ups in a minute
-60 sit ups in a minute
-1.5 miles in 9:15.
Here's how I did.
-42 push ups in a minute
-40 sit ups
Didn't test for running.
I've got a ways to go. :/

Wow, went to the store after going to the dump, took a different route because of how far north i was, finally made it, went miles out of my way due to construction and the big rail yard has few places to get across, kept running into construction, kept detouring further away, was afraid they were coming in behind me and would trap me and there would be no where out. ::)

Nice clear cool morning here- don't need additional clothes yet, cool. The dogs are out enjoying it. I am having my first coffee on the deck. Just now seen my first group of geese. Yesterday i seen my first group of starlings. The hummingbirds are still stopping by but not as frequent as the months before. 5 days till fall uh?
Back to work this afternoon.
Need to start the tiller up and run it but think i will wait and do it between games Saturday.

Beware when your state or commonwealth becomes occupied by the north.
First. DMV no longer knows the difference between a scooter and a moped.
We have a tunnel named for a fictional sea battle. A Monitor v Merrimac thing never happened. A Merrimac hadn't been built at the time of the first battle of ironclads. USS Monitor vs. CSS Virginia did happen and it was the first battle of ironclads. The CSS Virginia contained salvaged components from the scuttled USS Merrimack – Merrimack, with a friggin' K! It doesn't matter how many times some revisionist historian from The Peoples' Republik of Maryland gets it wrong!
Finished early 'nuff at the doc's ta get to the indoor. On the way back I was outraged to find we are now being encouraged to speed. Data sign read 'HRBT 15 miles, 15 minutes.' Do the math. One can't travel fifteen miles in fifteen minutes at the 55 mph speed limit.
This is not Jefferson's Virginia.

We don't allow people from Merryland here. ;)

Smart move Del.
Cuz, it's the new math they are teaching the young, you just don't get it. Course I don't either!

Still smoky here! I think a cold front came through a little early, so things are starting to clear a bit.
Don’t have to cook tonight, so it’s to the refrige for leftovers.
Got the stuff for the wife’s birthday tomorrow. Doing grilled crab legs, with chicken /veggie kabobs. Haven’t told her what’s up for supper tomorrow yet. (Hard to hide the crab legs)!

Hey y'all.
City trip was okay. Class went well. Drove the stick in the city for the first time. Went okay.
Made it to Sportsman's Warehouse in time for the component delivery truck. Got a pound of Bullseye, 200 CCI primers, and 100 Hornaday hollowpoints, all for the low price of $65... California makes like a hoover with a leak. :-\

Their problems run much deeper than CC or NCLB. School board's composed of politically appointed cronies with an imported, AA superintendent.
The paper's caught 'em in several lies recently. The reporter also busted up an attempt to hold an illegal – by definition – closed door meeting. I expect the reporter to be reassigned in the near future as the last public schools reporter did.
They started a revolving door, unconventional hours school for drop outs and disciplinary problems. Supposed to start this year but they failed to secure a building for it – no kiddin'.
It's kinda comical if your kid isn't in the system. Imagine a Keystone Cops version of a school board.
-
Moose stays out of school politics as much as possible.
-
TK, sad to say, that's about the same price everywhere. If you can find pistol powder, it's $25-30, , primers are getting easier to find, probably $3.50-4 per hundred. That leaves $18-20 for the bullets, + tax. I'm afraid the current situation has turned the whole country into California when it comes to anything shooting related(Except for the stupid lead ban........so far)
Just got my Midway order. Some .348 Win brass to form into various old milsurp cases, and an 8MM and .303 bullet mold. Weather has cooled off, so my workshop should be just right for melting lead now.
We also don't have Common Core here.
Fighting it here, our Governor let it in, not the legislature. Same Governor that just had a record 57 vetoes over ridden. ( Dem Gov, Rep legislature)
-
Moose stays out of school politics as much as possible.
So do many of the NPS teachers. They stay out by leavin'. Memory serves they lost 22% of their experienced classroom teachers last year and 18% this year.
All the neat stuff comes in with federal money.
The shop had more pistol powder on the shelves today than I've seen inna while. Had 6 pounds of Bullseye. Thinkin' it was twenty six 'n change. Had some WST 'n 296 too. Over the last few months I've picked up 'nuff pistol stuff, in general, ta last a spell. Lookin' for specific powders now. Still want some Titegroup.

Moose brought home some take-out lasagna and salad for supper. It was good, we don't do Italian much. I woke up for a plumbing check and can't go back to sleep. I fixed a cup of Cawffee from the Kuerig. It's Decaf, so maybe I can go back to sleep in a few minutes.

Thanks for the coffee,Slim ;)
48 and sun here. Off today, we broke a mower yesterday and my Boss is using today to fix it( tie rod). Dog's are going off, the paper's here. Have to do the lawn today once it dries enough. After that, maybe the dogs will get a bath, plus I've got to clean the valve casings on the Olds, number two wanted to hang up at practice Wednesday night. Usual problem after a horn's been chem cleaned. Dries the casings out too much and it takes a while to build up extra lubricant film ::)

Thanks again for the Cawffee, I am on my fourth cup and I am finally awake.

indeed y thanks for the Coffee... another 24oz cup & some Biscuits & gravy at the WAWA stop & go...

Good morning all.
Coffee necessary for function today. Up late last night, up early this morning. Went for a jog with a friend. made a mile and a half in just over 15 minutes, and that with having to walk a quarter mile for his asthma. Not too bad, except that it was about 42 degrees, with fog thick enough to drink. ::) Not quite to the 9:15 I need to be at, but it's a start.
Don't have to be in the city until 1 this afternoon, so we'll be leaving at 11. Dang road construction ruins any form of scheduling. leave early enough for it, and you don't have to wait, and arrive at you destination and hour early. Leave ten minutes later, and arrive five late. >:(

I never was a big dune buggy fan, but that VW Bug-pickup is cool. But it probably wouldn't be a good plan to actually use it for a truck, I'm thinking 500lb on the back might be all it could take, unless they used a VW Bus suspension on it.
-
The pickup is my favorite as well. Take-out pizza for supper tonight. I had to run errands this afternoon, too much humidity for me.
-
someone flipped a switch ... 81° for a High 71° low today ???
rain held off till about 5:30 PM .... I like it !

Except Forest is old and walks with a limp, and he knows that life is like a box of melted chocolate, sometimes the crap just runs everywhere.

Built one of those pick-up or rather they are a flat-bed, in 77, was a kit, didn't put the faux 40 Ford front on it though. Boss used it as a shop truck built stake sides, about 1/4 ton was right, but hat's what the Ford A model pickup was also. Most small pick-ups are about like that, just put coil over shocks on back and they do fine.
-
Looks like they would have to use the motor, or at least the cooling system and other tinwork, from a bus or one of the other VW Station wagon/fastback models(Forget the proper name for those, had a couple when I was stationed in Deutschland). I think the cooling fan/generator on the standard bug would be too tall for the flatbed.
-
Mornin', y'all.
'Round eighty 'n a chance of rain – again.
Wouldn't wanna own either of 'em but I'd really enjoy borrowin' the sand rail sometimes seen in the mix for a weekend. Either of the buggies'd do too.
Surely would like ta be shootin' somethin' taday. Ain't no shoots. Phooey.
-
I rented one of the buggies like those once, they are great fun.... jump'n' dunes & spinn'n doughnuts....
used to see them all the time. There was a whole cottage industry of body kits for the V-dubs in the 70's.
Myers made a sand-rail which was just a tube frame & floor skin , without or very little bodywork.... kinda Baja racer for the road.
You don't see them on the road anymore :-\
Rained all night, still drizzling, calling for 50%. and a high of 80° today... :)

Darkening out ( well darker anyway ) looks like another rain is about come down....

Crab and Kabobs came out great on Friday. Have Pictures, but part of the software lost is the one that allows me to resize pictures.
Grilled chicken, grilled corn on the cob and leftover Kabobs last night.
It’s trying like heck to rain on us, nut the mountains to the West of us an the mountains to the North of us are doing too good a job of blocking the wet stuff. They should apply to the NFL!

Grilled burgers, Baked beans, and Potato salad for supper tonight. No rain this weekend.

Russ little jealous of the menu.
I have been roasting/ grilling red beets this summer. It makes them much tastier to eat. I'd love to have a outdoor kitchen

Speaking of tater salad, we had a discussion of it elesewhere, I've been tolt by many I make good tater salad, don't know, don't eat none of those things called salad that ain't mostly green leafy stuff, but I did write down my recipe for folks.
Potatoe Salad.
Use some cold boil't taters chopped up, add what ever you think would be good to that and then take some mayo and add what you think would be good with mayo over cold, chopped boiled taters and what ever else you added to them. mix will in a bowl, cover and take to a picnic and let cook in the sun for several hours. There, now you have a recipe for tater salad. :P

Evenin Y'all, well the NY state SASS championship is in the books, Miz Tricky Trina won her category as wall as Ladies Pocket pistol & Derringer, Missouri Marshal was 3rd in his. I had a problem with my rifle not wanting to feed factory .38 special and didn't figure it out until the 3rd stage, which put me out of the awards.But I did do a lot better than last year,I was 93rd overall and 13th in category,last year I was 112th overall and 22nd in category.Hope to do better next year.

Seems like everybody's sleeping in this morning, so I'll build up the fire and put some water on to heat.Kind of need the fire this morning, computer tells me it's only 48 deg outside. Was a bust weekend, barely had time to shoot, fired some test rounds from the Portugese Kropatschek I bought a few weeks ago, Bullets went about where I thought they should, and holes were round this time, so I guess my home "re-crowning" job helped (done with a 1/4 flat head screw, some valve grinding compound and a drill). Had the airshow, wife's Philippine friends get together on sat, and then after church, we took my #1 daughter to her first school friend's birthday party. Mowed some grass after and then the weekend was over :-[
-
I had a stressful weekend of Football watching, No Nascar. I needed to sleep in this morning, however I did manage to make a pot of Cawffee and boil Hot water.

Mornin'.
The first day of fall dawned cloudy. Sayin' mid seventies. It's a start.
The paper really put itsownself out with the airshow photo coverage. One shot of the jets, two of the crowd. Impressive.
Run a local grocery price comparison. Gonna take some time ta go thru it. Got other stuff ta do.

Trina is handy with a pocket pistol.... As far as that goes any firearm Congratulation to all of you in NY.

Still miffed with the air show coverage. Made a comment.
I have more photos of the airplanes if Pilot would care to publish them, no charge. Unfortunately I have none of the crowd. I just didn't think to take any during an air show.
Don't know how they'll take it, don't care.
-
Still miffed with the air show coverage. Made a comment.
That'll teach 'em ;)
No it won't. They're following a proven strategy - "give the sheeple what they want" - they want to see themselves in the public media, anywhere but the police blotter or the obituaries.
The Wife (known to some as Sweet T Kettle) is a natural with the pocket pistol. She's always pretty near the bottom of the main match scores, but always first or second in the pocket gun side match.

Last I knew you could get a share in the company that owns the Lincoln paper for 50 cents, may have gone up, don't care. They are so desperate that you have to subscribe to their website.

Coffee is finally on here at work, had to help fight a fire before I could make it, then had to go wipe up all the water I spilled before I set the pot full of water down and got the fire fighting device. ::)
-
Ain't talkin' to the paper with the comments. They're directed at the readers.
The paper moved the article puttin' the base in the wrong city after I called it. They put it under 'More' in the Military section. The pictorial was moved to the same place while I was in the shower. One has to dig to find it.
They once ran really nice photos of a storm over the base. Exaggerated the hell out of the speed of the wind gusts. The base is the data collection point for the NWS. The wind gusts were twenty under what they published. It was corrected without comment.
Occasionally, a reader will hit a nerve and the comment will disappear. Hell, I've been on probation twice and banned once.
For every good thing they do, i.e. the work on Norfolk's school board, they do ten stupid. It's what happens when a local publication has no competition. The new publisher is from Maryland.
It's gone to subscription. I'm in on the fat lady's print subscription or I'd be on local blogs.
Oh well, manual labor awaits.......................

The news media have never been high on my list of folks to like.
The job of the news paper is to report. They have long past that obligation. With so many other sources of news. They just fill in the spots around paid advertisments. With whatever the owners will allow. Including their own believes-commentaries and politics and other unproven facts.
Then of course if not for newsman there would have never been a Watergate.

Freedom of the Press comes with a responsibility of printing/reporting the News as it is, first and foremost.
Save the Editorials for the Editors page. This is where the individual (reporter and reader alike) can state their opinions.
My best,
Blair
-
... and they take upon themselves to:
* Slant the news by omission
* Sway public opinion
* advance political agendas & candidates
I have 3 uses for the newspaper...that is if I can get it for free ..I won't buy one.
I like to clean my guns on newspaper ( that in itself, should set the liberals off ( ban newspapers and I can't clean guns )
I use it for paint masking....
& garbage liner ( in fact gun solvent soaked it keep the #*&%$# Neighbor dog out of the dam cans ! )

Major 2,
All of which are corruptions of the intent/meaning of not only this Amendment of the original 10 Amendment's of the Bill Of Right.
A corruption caused and created by those, for the most part, who dependent on the First Amendment's Freedom of Speech?
This is not simply my "opinion".
Think about it!
Every time anyone pays for any NEWS that is not news but political editorial, is paying to keep the garbage going.
They can't sell their version of the news without advertisements. Boycott not only the publishers/editors but those that buy and pay for adds.
-
Hence the very reason I won't buy one...
However, I'm blind to whomever might advertise, as I don't read them either...
It not the ad that would attract me or my $ anyway....
But I would agree, hit them where they hurt.... in the pocket :)
as an example I'd offer...
William Randolph Hurst played a huge part in arousing the public opinion to go to war with Spain.
-
Boycott not only the publishers/editors but those that buy and pay for adds.
We wouldn't be buying much. Cars to groceries are hawked in there. All the friggin' grocery stores in this area run their sales ads in the paper.
The value to me is the feedback from the subscribers. The local television news websites enable comments but they don't have the number of readers/viewers the paper does. They're rarely visited. Another plus for the paper over the TV stuff is we don't have to endure the overly made-up 'personalities' and their trained-for-the-moment voice inflections.
I tend to want to know what the enemy thinks. Especially the local enemy. I can't come up with a better way to find out than print or the web version of it.
-
We just lost one of our better reporters here. Kidney failure. Not too many left in ours ::)
-
I look to the Repository when something happens that way that makes the national news, Buck. A holdover from the Cutts trial.
We had a good one covering Norfolk's city hall. When a full time gig covering nothing but ODU football/sports opened he jumped on it. The beach reporter doesn't break as much stuff as either he did or the current one does.
It's fun watching the maturation of the current Norfolk schools reporter. She was publishing their press releases. Telling folks everything was progressing nicely. Since she caught in lies her attitude, and reporting has changed considerably.
-
One that passed was Jim Hillibish, Arcey. He touched on a lot of subjects, started doing beat articles and photography. Then got into things that were more his interests. Did cooking articles, stuff on computers, and gardening.His human interest articles were good as well :( ::)

Last time we got the local paper was about,,,,,,,, hmm, not sure, might have been this cenrury. Rita got hit up by some guy at the store, think if we took it it was a couple dollars for several weeks, heck, they might have even paid us, trial you know, would impress us and we'd then want it at the regular price.
Yep, thing showed up on the curb, Rita would drag in in when she got home, I didn't bother. I was home when the called to get us to reup at the regular price. Told them if I had to walk that dang far in the morning for a paper I'd go on to the Quick shop and get a cup of coffee too. Never called back.

Speaking of media pissing me off. There was a tragic shooting today at a UPS service center. Listen editors unless you have boots on the ground covering the bullets flying. It is not a active shooter. Most likely a dead shooter. Learn the definition of Active. Rant over!
-
More employees with carry permits would help.
-
Was a dead shooter, as reported on the radio news. Doubt he was very active anymore.
-
They usually end up killing themselves or confront LEO's, in the hope that the Police will shoot them.
-
What's that called , Suicide by Cop ?
-
Yep. Been goin' on since way before me. Just made up the term for it in the last twenty or so.
Been waitin' for days like this. Played outside 'n it was akin ta bein' in a nicely A/Ced buildin'. Really pretty out now. Just went out 'n brought the l'il sprinkler in. Good chance of rain tomorrow. Don't want it ta get wet.
Did left o'ers. Ice box gettin' kinda bare.

An empty icebox is a terrible thing!

Band practice was interesting. Have a performance on Saturday.
Found another truck worth looking into. '86 F-250. Look deeper tomorrow.

Major 2, That BBQ combo sounds delicious. Those are all my favorites, I also enjoy a good sliced brisket sammichies as well.
-
Mmmmmmmmm Brisket...I likes brisket.... :)
There was one of those BBQ cookoffs over in Melbourne some time ago, $2 samples = 3 ribs or Brisket or pork etc.
about 7 traveling competitors plus 3 or 4 chain stands like Sonny's, Fatboy's , Bubba's bodacious BBQ....
"She" & I sampled about 1/2 of them....
Dang that was fun !
There was guy that made hot roasted buttered ear corn...Oh Lord y that was mouth candy !
OH my // what have I done :o now I'm starvin ...

In other disturbing news. Democrats are eyeing the next future liar to keep their socialist movement going. In the head liar in Richmond. I hope Americans are smarter than that.
Thanks for coffee try and get roto tiller started do some garden work. Then.
Want get a chicken coop started next couple weeks.< for next springs use.
-
The Cawffee tastes extra good this morning. No clue for breakfast. We still have the cool front, with temps in the 80s, a welcome change.
-
Mornin'.
Seventy somethin' 'n rain.
Like ta go ta Doumar's 'n get me a BBQ. Ain't 'bout ta go. Biden's at Nauticus. It'll be Bulls**t Meets Battleship 'n the traffic'll be all fouled up.
-
Had grits and a mug of hot tea for breakfast, was very cool this a.m. supposed to rain.
-
We’re going for my version of Hooters Chicken Wings and fries tonight.
The weather is teasing us again. Threat of rain starts Thursday and runs for three days. I’ll believe it when it starts hitting me on the head. Guess I’d better mow my the lawn today, just in case!
-
Is rainin' here.
-
Send some down hereto North Texas!
-
Lawn got mowed before the rain or the smoke moved in! (have my doubts about the rain, but can start to smell the smoke).
Now I can just work on the Wings and Fries for supper.
-
Fairly decent rain most if the day. Fallin' lightly now. Temps ain't bad. Did have ta keep the A/C on in the station wagon cuz the sticky humidity.
Gots fish 'n pasta. Narrowed it down ta that. See what she wants. Either way, it won't be salads.
-
Got some pintos cooked with the ham from the other day, gonna make refireds for me burritos and add some gunk and make the rest baked beans for later day. Don't know what she's having, her problem, supper will be served, don't like it, go see if the neighbors will feed you, used to tell the kids that.
-
When I was a kid, I didn't have to count on the neighbors (per se) . I had my grandparents living in the upstairs part of our duplex, and my aunt and uncle living across the street. Did some menu shopping on more than one occasion.
-
Had #6 chicken at tacobell. Tried one of the fountain drinks there, was kind of impressed with it apple and like gingerale based. Will look nexk time i stop again.
Finished up garden work for this week. I watered but rain is needed.
-
I got my yards mowed yesterday, the cooler temps made it easier. Burgers and Fries for supper tonight. Moose is getting some new contact lens fitted this evening.
-
Enjoyed the day. Got out in the barn 'n played awhile. Gotta squeaky clean K-38 ta dirty up.
L'il cooler 'n a l'il less humidity 'n it'd been close ta perfect. Awful fine breeze ta go with it. Hopin' for no rain tomorrow. Or at least nothin' fallin' twix 'bout nine 'n one out the radar trap otherwise known as Waverly way.
Did pahster (Robert Irvine pronunciation) 'n store bought meat ball/sauce. Stuffed. Don't think I'd fit in one the skinny, open wheel rice caws.
Fat lady went ta HT ta score some dope. Come home with the dope 'n most of their salad bar. Guess I misunderestimated her mood for rabbit food.
-
We went to Chili's ,SUCKED !
I ordered the SW egg rolls , burger sliders , buffalo chicken , it really an appetizer plate , but I opp'ed it for my dinner.
Looked good in the Menu...We waited some 45 minutes from ordering to food arrival
Burgers were Dried out and way beyond well done, little buns were hard or stale , Buffalo chicken chunks were fried hard ( clanked on the plate ) and dried out....
the pieces of celery sat on plate so long they were wilted....
The SW Egg rolls were passable I guess...
I said forget it , take it and adjust the check ...Manager stopped by offered something quick as my wife & daughter were eating.
Soup she said or Salad ? Nope thanks but no thanks... so she brought a a dam chicken Cesar salad....anyway
and by-God charged for it ! >:(
I'll never go there again !
-
My opinion of the place also, over priced lousy food.
-
Had fresh garden maters I got from a friend and some cottage cheese with a tall glass of SweeTea,best maters I've had in a long time
-
Don't know that i'v ever ate in a chili's. Won't now...
Made Musqudine Jelly tonight got 9 jars made. Think that cover a bunch of biscuits the next year.

It's Jollibee for me!

53 and dark here. ::)
Arcey, you might wanna watch the The Rep again. may have a situation brewing. Three perps tried to rob a Marathon station here Monday night. Clerk has been open carrying because of previous attempts. They came in shooting and winged the clerk who shot back and killed two of them. Video of outside shows them entering with guns drawn, and then staggering out and trying to crawl off. Last night coming home from practice we went by there and there was a dang candle light vigil going on on the corner in front of the station with several cruisers parked across the street watching'em. Might be another of the St. Louis area things starting here because of it. Poor perps shoulda not been shot since they were just sticking the place up, I guess. Third one got away, but I guess they're saying that he was caught up in Cleveland yesterday. Haven't heard on that one yet for confirmation ::) :o :-\
-
Seems this country's gone half crazy, when you have riots for weeks because some yahoo decides to try to beat up a cop and gets shot for his trouble. Hears on the radio yesterday, somebody burned down the memorial in Ferguson, so the riot begins all over again.
Arcey, if you got a Jollibee's there, my wife will be jealous! There's one about every half mile in the Philippines. To me, seems like most any fast food chain here-Food's never great, but at least it's the same level of mediocre everywhere you go.
-
The and Hot water are ready for drinking this morning. No breakfast yet, I am still trying to wake up.
-
Buck that is two less thugs on the street who won't be taken the livelyhoods of others.
Sorry to hear the clerk was wounded, wish him a speed recovery.
Nice cool morning here. Weather predicters claim it will be warming up again.
Thanks for the coffee
-
Twitter is posting that Eric Holder has resigned...... However is that he is being eyed to replace Ginsberg. Country had gone to hell
-
We certainly don't need that horse's a#$ as one of the Supremes >:(
-
I doubt very much that he would be approved for the position, with all the skeletons in his closet,The questioning by the R's would make him withdraw because he wouldn't want to answer those questions
-
I suppose it would be OK if he were one of the Supremes
He could take the place of Diana Ross ::)
I hope your'e right ....Major
-
Strange. Spend the day it Waverly 'n I pull The Canton Rep up when I get home 'n I see an ad for Wackerly.........................
Thanks for the tip, Buck. Enjoyed the video. Hope he got 'em before they reproduced.
PE, Jollibee's maybe two miles down the road. Opened last year. Stays packed.
Ennyways.....
Sure was nice out. O'ercast. Didn't hit 70° by the dash board thermometer thingy. Read 68° when I left a few minutes 'fore 1300 hrs.
Awful fine OFSDAR day, hadda blast. Twas the first loser.
Missed the 4th shot of the match. Screwed the grip when I drew, shot 3 knockdowns, clean, awkward but clean. When I was movin' to the next point, went ta regrip 'n got it werse. Threw the 4th under the freakin' target. Speed kills. Cleaned the rest of the stage. That knocked the rust off. Shot the next 140 rounds after the miss clean. Executed the dreaded Flatboat Bob Sweep on six, no P, no miss.
The stage set for the day.
Shooter reloadin' 'n movin' twix points with RO 'n spotters in pursuit.

Evenin' y'all.
Personally, I think resigning of Ole' mister Holder is worth some celebration. I poured a Coca-Cola in a cup with ice and drank to his memory. ::)
Rain. About an inch, with more forecast for later. Only problem is, All the puddles and mud...and no truck to splash through them. >:(
Y'all have a good rest of the evening.
--TK
-
Probably no great improvement when Holder leaves. He'll jut be replaced by someone just like him. Only bright spot about it was I heard mention of possibly nominating Clair McCaskill. Not that I think she'd be any better as attorney Gen, but at least I wouldn't have to hang my head in shame when I hear "The Senior Senator from the state of Missouri, Clair McCaskill".
-
Mornin'.
Drizzlin'. Supposed ta clear off ' get ta seventy sumthin'
'
Holder quittin' or no, ain't nothin' good comin' out this administration.

Starting off clear here little dew on the grass. Say rain next few days.
I need to clean my storage unit out this next few days.
You are right Arcey- sure ain't worth the cost of a coca-cola.

Coffee is hot.
'Tis 40 and fog. High of 77.

I am sitting at Cavanaugh's, waiting for them to open. It should be a fun day.
-
Arcey, Unfortunately, I believe one of them had reproduced. Not sure about the other two. They still haven't found the third guy ::)
77 and sun here. We did some more mowing and trimming as well as some painting in the home that the managers bought to resell . ::)
-
Arcey, another note on the situation here. Guess they were out on that corner again yesterday. Someone posted on Facebook about them getting rowdy, the station's employees wearing heat, and the police had been called. Didn't see anything in the Rep about it today. There was a sign a card for the clerk thing today at the station as well as taking donations to defray his medical costs. That made the Cleveland TV station this evening. County Crime Watch Facebook page says they have run somebody in to talk to, might be the third perp. ::)
-
Good evening y'all.
Had an uneventful hunting trip today. Saw a single buck, pretty decent fork. About 1 second longer and 10 yards closer, and I could say I got him. Unfortunately, it wasn't long enough, and was too far. Life in the steep, thick forest continues.
Have a band concert tomorrow. We're missing the first trombonist, so I'll be pulling double-duty. Some songs, I'll play 1st, some I'll play second. :-\

Coffee is on...
Today's agenda , get the cross-over serviced , and detailed , lunch somewhere & get a haircut ....nap :)
Ahhh... Saturday's :D
Shopping for a 1911 , gonna give Wild Bunch a try .... I like the Cimarron WW1 in Blue ...it gets good reviews.
-
Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. I sorta slept in today. I did a lot of walking at the Flying Tigers reunion yesterday, but I had a good time. We had some beef brisket for lunch, with all the trimmings and lots of iced tea.
-
Well it did sorta spit on us yesterday, but I can’t say it really rained. They did get a bit of snow up on the mountain, so we may get off to an early ski season (RIGHT!).
The grilled salmon came out good last night. Not sure about tonight (if the weather looks ok may head south to Genoa for the annual Candy Dance (craft booths, candy booths, food and beverages).
-
70 and sun here. Got some stuff to do, dog's need a bath and the lawn needs mowed. Wife is at Sugar Creek doing a parade at the annual Swiss Festival ::)

Morning y'all.
Thanks fer the coffee.
Picked up the meat from Carina's small fair pig. 170 lbs unsmoked. 53 lbs smoked. Had bacon this morn. Pork chops for lunch.
Have to fix a section of fence the horses pushed over and trim hooves.
'Tis 65 and sunny. High of 80.

I went back to sleep and just woke up. I guess that I will have a late breakfast this morning. More Cawffee is planned.
-
Gonna quit making plans.. :(
Got the Cross-over serviced, but it had a bad battery, ( I kinda suspected it ) $119 later and new air filter too...
My good to go... I postponed the detail job...
Still getting the hair cut... lunch I figure will be chicken caesar salad....
I'm shopping for my Cimarron 1911, meanwhile I'm on a list to get one when they come in...
-
Major2 have you looked at the Phillipine made one? Rock Island? Basic gun can up grade anything with aftermarket parts. Considerably cheaper.
At work till 2 got enough time to drive to fried chicken place and take some home before Auburn kick off. Heavy rains predicted tonight tomorrow.
-
Cimarron 1911 is the Armscor
also Rock Island, Taylor , EMF , STI , Auto Ordnance and some others.
The Cimarron is the finish I want ...Polished Blue
-
Well, Iwent back to sleep and missed breakfast. I wound up cheese and crackers with some iced tea. I will be hungry by supper.
-
Was hungry for dinner. Ain't now. Hit the Road House with Andi 'n Tim. Did pulled pork again. That's some good stuff.
Thinkin' a skool daze menu tomorrow. Fish sticks.

If i was shopping for another that is what i'd be shopping for. I have drooled on some nice one $1200 or more is way out of my range.

Russ your the chef i'd bet on in chopped. I bet on Arcey but he likes crock pots to cook with.
Salmon is high on my list
-
Just got home, kind of a long day today. Next town over from us had their fall get together, my church set up a ternt and gave away popcorn, snow cones, and cotton candy. But once it was set up, the ladies did most of the operating, till it came time to tear it all down again. Supervised our young'uns playing in the bounce house, riding the "train", getting face painted and all that good fair stuff. Then off to the "big city" and the weekly torture....errrr... shopping trip to Wal Mart. Then dinner and home. I'm not going anywhere except church tomorrow!!! Maybe some plinking out in the back "yard". Cast some bullets from a couple of new molds early this morning that need to be experimented with.
-
Evenin' y'all,
Band concert went well, though the director pulled a fast one on me and had us play one I hadn't even heard of before. Apparently, they played it the first week, but I wasn't there... Other than that, it went pretty well.
After the performance, went out deer hunting. Took my amigo along, for his second time out hunting. Didn't see nothin' but a jack rabbit. Would have popped him, but a 30-30 is just a little bit too much for a little bunny. ::)
This brings up another point. Last night when I was oiling my rifle after being out in some wet foliage, I found a three inch long crack in the buttstock. starts right in the middle of the butt plate, and goes strait in. My dilemma is, I don't want to restock the rifle. It's the original stock and finish from 1928. Pre- Olin, pre - depression, pre- most (all?) of us on this forum. :P So, I'm going to have to pony up some money and get a new rifle next week. Or maybe a Magnum revolver, perhaps I'll have better luck handgun hunting. We'll see.

Mornin’.
Hadda couple nice teasers, now back ta pushin’ eighty again. Mebbe next week.
Wouldn’t have a prayer on Chopped, don’t do deserts. Ain’t done fish in the pots either. Put salmon filets in pouches ‘n bake ‘em.
-
No plans for today, guessers claim 80% rain the next 3 days....
slept in a tad , I think coffee is in order now... and a Hot dog later ....
Didn't watch other than surf'n' by, but saw NC scare Fla State .... must'a been a good game , then I saw were Fla pulled it out.
-
Fell asleep on usc and oregon. Watched Steve Spurrier team lose a close one.
Rain hasn't arrived yet, but humidity is like it is anyways. Doppler shows plenty on the gulf and from Mobile across the panhandle of Fla.
Back to work 2nd shift today.
-
TK, no need to replace that stock, or even re-finish. Jump over to here: http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/viewforum.php?f=83 , read through some of the information, mabe ask advice and post some pics, I've seen some really bad damage repaired well there.
-
Morning y'all.
Plans changed yesterday. Humidity was high so I postponed the outdoor plans. The local theater had a customer appreciation event - free movies. The girls and I watched "How to Train Your Dragon 2". The boys and the wife watched the "Lego Movie". Before the movie, we went to Fleet Farm. After the movie, we bought groceries.
Pork chops and corn on the cob for luuuuuuuuuuunch.
'Tis 63 and sunny. Humidity 73%. High of 82.

I slept in too as well. the Cawffee is a good wake up this morning. Moose and Victoria went to the Park this morning for a Run. They should be back in a few minutes. No Breakfast yet.

Mornin' y'all, and I'll take a double-dose of that coffee.
PE, I'll have to look into that. Don't have time this morning.
I must confess to being a "Lego Movie" fan. ::)

-
Thanks Roo.
The weather decided not to cooperate with the outdoor plans yesterday, so had to come up with alternative supper plans. Had the same idea as Slim and went for pork chops (boneless). They at least had time to thaw out before supper.
The weather still hasn't given us real rain, just drippings. The patio under the big pine in the back yard is still dry.
-
Somewhere in the same area where my 2 Shepards were found these 2 were found today. There has been others in the months since Raina and Arwyn came home with me.
I find it a bit suspious that dogs appear here for no known reasons.
These 2 are just babies.
-
Them pork chops sure look good.
I'm rendering lard from the fat I trimmed offa 16 chops. I'll get about a pint.
Cute puppies.

Roo, That is terrible. Folks that dump those puppies, need to be locked up!

Why do these kids today all want to wear girlie looking jeans? ::)

Folks didn' want me 'n the fat lady 'round taday. E'erthin' was lovely gettin' stuff from Alice. Got turned away at the museum. Rented the place out to a politician fer a fund raiser. Went ta the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge 'n they was still chargin' an entry fee. Thought that was o'er Labor Day. Went home.
Ennyways........
Dismembered a rotisserie chicken with my bare hands. Boilt a few 'taters 'n did some black eye peas. Had 'nuff. Night night inna l'il bit.

Coffee is hot.
'Tis 49 and starting to get light. "Cooler. Mostly sunny in the morning...then mostly cloudy with a chance of showers in the afternoon. Patchy fog in the morning. Highs around 70. Temperatures falling into the lower 60s in the afternoon. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph shifting to the north in the afternoon. Chance of rain 50 percent."

Levi 517's and cowboy boots, that's a pearl snap shirt and Dad's suit coat, hat stayed in the car. Got it over on our class site, my Sr picture. The store sells and almost identical shirt. ::) Kids all thought it was cool, had to show them this.

Can’t get back ta nature with gloves…………….
First off, it ain’t none my bidness. Second off, I ain’t the prize I used ta be ta the fairer sex when I’m wearin’ shorts – or anythin’ else for that matter – But……….
Thinkin’ if some, or most, the ladies knew how folks snicker when they wear what used ta be peddle-pushers now capris, or yoga pants, what are heavy fabric panty hose with no feet, they’d n’er leave the house in ‘em. Not ta be unkind, but a lot of ‘em, like me, ain’t what they used ta be ‘n some of ‘em n’er were ‘n n’er gonna be. ‘Specially wearin’ flip flops on their skanky feet, dirty from walkin’ parkin’ lots. Go back to jeans 'n get a pair of shoes, ladies. We'll all be glad ya did.
Just finished the dreaded task of changin’ out the wireless router. Ain’t a damned werd on it matchin’ the werds in the wireless cards’ or the printer’s software. Kept typin’ nummers ‘n they finally took one. Reckon the last one was it…..

Happy Birthday to one Retired Cop from another Retired Cop. My Birthday is in a couple of weeks.
-
Happy B-bay, Arcey!
Condolences to Buck and friends.
Concerning capris and spandex in general: Ladies, if you have to wear the high water pants, at least don't wear the ones that look like knee length bell bottoms! That just looks like you're still wearing pants you outgrew.
And for the spandex tights, some things SHOULD be left to the imagination! I've seen ladies that look good in jeans, or a skirt, only to have that image spoiled by wearing those skin tight spandex pants.....

Math exam today. I think I did okay. It went pretty well, me thinks.
Getting ready to go hunting right now.

Ditto 'n thankee, PE.
Eagles. 'Nuff sun ta charge the transmitters' batteries.
Camellia, NC, the one o'er by cuzzin Tom's jail got spotted in the Ocean View section on the bay in Norfolk awhile back. Last data bust the GPS from the transmitter's got 'im a few miles 'n to the left off 460 just past the range in Waverly. Land fill there. He's been before.
Grace, MR, born this year off Witchduck Road in duh beach, done gone north ta the Peoples' Republik of Maryland. Both transmittered birds, NC 'n HH or Azalea, siblings of different clutches from Norfolk's Botanical Garden, did the same 'n both came back.
Don't look like the pair on the GC in my hood gonna be IDed. Ain't banded. Don't care. Just want 'em ta claim the place 'n make more eagles.

May many eagles grace your future, Arcey!

Sorry to hear Buck.
An Eagle for Arcey for his birthday.

Oh ad for the wimmin, guess it ain't no worse that some guy wearin' a tank top, shorts, and crocs puttin' on a hat and askin' me if the hat makes him look dorky. Yep, one of the few times I lie to a customer, just can't tell them it ain't the hat that does it. ::)

Couldn't get the smart phone fast enough, to grab the photo ( to many dam taps to hit, before it take a photo )
Large brown Eagle with 3 or 4 leg tags, dropped down off a power pole and flew in tandem along side on my X over

Happy belated birthday Arcey. Was under the weather yesterday and didn’t check the site.
Had a visit from a hawk the other day. I think it was an immature grey hawk. Sat in the pine tree in the back yard, about 8 feet off the ground and 10 to 15 feet from the patio door. Drove the cat nuts for about 20 minutes.
Sorry for the loss Buck.
-
Burgers on the Grill for Supper tonight. The weather has cooled some, the high 80s instead of triple digits.
-
I guess I'll stick my ugly mug in here for a cuppajoe before the month expires. I ain't daid yet, but it's been chancy a couple of times of late; now things are not as rough, just sometimes inconvenient - I sure wish we could figure out just what's eatin' at me. Oh, the travails of a life lived hard, and outliving most of ones peers.
Belated "Hippo-Birdy, Two Ewes", Arcey, put another candle on yer birthday cake, and go get the fire extinguisher before you light that thing.
Sorry to hear of your "Girl's" friend, Buck; that's rough. My Condolences.
Russ T, it is good to see you joining in here more often. Glad you seem to be enjoying being re-tired (I hope that's it), and seem to be in good shape. You still in on the RCCSA, or has it gone by the wayside or merged with the Fernley club? Me, I have retired from CAS completely - can't walk a straight line, with or without my stick, and running or even hustling or uneven ground is out of the question.
Just for the heads up, you all keep an eye on the classifieds; I am inventorying all of my guns and gear right now, and will be putting it up here and on the SASS Wire Classifieds sometime in the near future. If you know anyone looking for something, I may have it; I have fifteen years of CAS collecting to get shut of.
Looks like some of you are catching some weather that whomped us here in the Desert Southwest a few days ago. It only dumped a few inches, but the way it did it, it caused all sort of hate and discontent; washed out large parts of I-15 northeast of Las Vegas twice, a week apart, and almost completely destroyed parts of the town of Moapa. Then, on Sunday, a bit of wet trundled through, and when the sun came up on Monday, there was snow on the Spring Mountains and Mount Charleston, and the Sheep Range north of the Valley. Today, it is one of those days we don't like to talk about because folks will think we're crowing.
That's our status, in a nutshell; still kickin' and trying to take names. Gonna go see if I can get into some kind of trouble.
Later.
