Been here in Reno for 14 years now. Got summoned the Washoe County Court once about the second year. Haven’t heard from them since. Maybe they didn’t like the boots, vest, pocket watch and cowboy hat! But that’s not all that abnormal here in Nevada.

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. The warmup starts today, the high will be in the 60s by the weekend. The Stock Show starts this weekend and runs for two weeks. I will be heading over there and visiting with Buck.

Just made it in a got a cup brewing. Got there and back, not with out some problems that were a cluster mess. Made it on time and that's all that counts. I'll report later, but it's not the weather for the heater to quit. Even got to ride shotgun in a State Trooper's Charger, never got to ride shotgun in a police car before. Can't remember his name but a co-worker of Niedlander of course, went to academy with him. Never would have made it with out him, my thanks to him, my hat off to him, but since he had a Charger that goes with out saying, even got to do an Interstare Uy with him.

Nice one,Del

For those who haven't read the posts in the Barracks, Pitspiter is putting together a squad to do the proper post-Civil War service as prescribed in Upton's manual with Larry Little aka Gripmaker as head chaplain of the GAF doing the service. Looks like Stu's family will attend.

73 Springfield's will be used and the blanks will be the proper black powder.

Arcey · « **Reply #252 on:** January 15, 2015, 02:17:12 PM »

Can't look at that without thinkin' 'bout 'Sleep.

Thoughtful tribute planned. I know it'll be well done.

Thanks for passing it on, Del.

OK, here is what happened yesterday, was about 125 miles out and about 70 from where I was to meet Pitspiter and The Field Marshall gave me a hiccup and I looked at the gauges, temp was climbing very fast and almost to the peg, shut-er down and pulled off about 2 miles from the next interchange and I got out and everything was coming out the over-flow.

Called Jerry and he was at not point to rescue me with out missing so I told him to go on. A State Trooper came by and took me back to the last interchange and got a couple jugs of Auntie-freeze. Told him I thought I could at least get it off I-80 since it wasn't leaking but boiled. Got it and shut it down, let it cool and filled er up again and headed toward Shelton 4 miles north on The Lincoln Highway (US 30) figured that was better than the side of the road since it's a bare interchange.

Got to Shelton and it was running decent for temp so I headed it west and called Jerry. He was past the meeting point and I told him to keep going and I'd see what happened. Went about 70 miles on 30 and things seemed OK so I gassed it up, bought a 3rd jug as a spare and hit I-80, kicked it a bit and started running 75 to 80. Got on down a ways and called Jerry to find where to turn south to Grant and he'd stopped for lunch and I was about 10 miles behind and we were about 75 from Grant. He stopped at the rest stop about 3 miles ahead (next one was past the turn off) he changed to his uniform rather than wait and I pulled in, jumped in his pick-up with my haversack and we got there with 15 minutes to spare.

Got back to mine about 5, I hit 30 again cause I hate I-80, got to Dalton's about 8, his wife and him took me to supper and Dalton and I talked a bit and then I headed in this morning, heater is not working, was about 15 when I started. Had a bit of a chill when i got home, over it now.

Seems to be a thermostat sorta working, temp goes from half to 3/4, but before the disaster I had part of a Wrangler box covering part. Removed it and I think it was enough, will worry about it next week will do fine to work and back till then.

Slideshow of his life of course, several in it with me, a couple I took, last picture was this one.

I am glad that you and Jerry got to attend the services. I know that the family appreciated it. I am sorry that the General messed up with you on the trip. I am glad that the trooper was there to assist you and you had a place to spend the night. Good friends are hard to come by. I wished that I could have been there.

Guess the Field Marshall doesn't like them Interstates, Del. Just prefers those back/gravel roads

Like me, but sometimes there is no choice, glad it was cold, doubt I could have pulled it off on a hot day.

BTW one thing I do hate in that area is cell service is good now, radio, not so much. Gave up and went to KRVN 880, no music, all farm related talk, was better noise than the other stations. Got a jingle stuck in my head, just add a bad imitation of Eric Clapton in voice and gee-tar.

If yer down on the farm

Mornin'.

Creepin' up. Just shorta forty 'n goin' ta just shorta fifty with sun. Sticked the oil yestitty, 14”. Might get away with one more fillin' if this weather holds 'nother six weeks.

Propane is kinda bad. 'N ta think someone got paid for that. Hope no body here picks up on it. The lion king thing they run a couple years ago still holds the dis-STINK-tion as the worse. With no warnin' at all, some woman starts screamin' somethin' in swahili 'n ya couldn't kill the stereo quick 'nuff ta avoid hearin' it.

Clean up from yestitty's minimal. Gonna be werkin' on the menu whilst I'm huntin'.
