Coffee thread for the 9th month of 2017

[Capt Quirk]

We have tons of wild Muscadine growing here, and when I can, I make some mean wine. Problem is, when they do bear fruit, it is like 30' up in the tree tops. Many a time I wished I had a Helper Monkey to go pick them.

So much misery,  people lost so much , people lost homes , a few lost ALL ....

Corpus Christy, Houston ,  Key West , Miami , Naples , here , Jacksonville,  the Caribbean   

Tomorrow, I will be helping a woman at work by repairing her home damage,  whatever it takes
Supplies & my labor is hers....
 I was happy to supply two units of plywood to my employees to protect the windows prior.

still , I'm sad and ashamed , I was joyful my power was restored   

[litl rooster]

The news reports from there have showed the worst and the best of people. I am happy to know you survived, that even with the lack of power and services you and your family survived.  It also shows that you care about others, with your help to others. ..

It's the Cowboy Way Roo, I'd like to think we all would lend a helping hand to our neighbors in trouble like this.

As a side note, I'll be heading out to our state championship Heluva Rucus tomorrow morning. I'll be shooting Duelist instead of 49'er, Wish me luck,I'll need all I can get.

[Major 2]

I can tell you now, normally I carry a S&W Mod.36 w/ Hornady Critical Defense rounds in a pocket holster.
Since, Sunday I've also sported a Glock 17 Gen. 4 in pancake.
Mine is Agricultural / Residential  zoning  family homes with about 35% density  (rural) horse & livestock .
Without power it was black as coal ...perfect for malcontents, miscreants and looters.

I'm also thankful no need arose

Yes it is the cowboy way.... only wish i could do more than i have. 


I bidded on a model 36 and was out bidded also, just this past week.  M2 we feel the sameway since we live in the same type neighborhood. Half an hour from a million people.

I feel more comfortable where I am-at least 2 1/2 hours from a million people.

I know 4 eyes Buck hadn't been here in a while. I had seen in news his Cleveland Indians have won 22 straight games.

[Good Troy]

GO ASTROS!!

Oh...more on a sober note... Glad you are doing okay Major 2, and wonderful that you are helping others.

Pony Express...I live amongst 4 million people!  I wish I lived out and had the same opportunities for professional and leisure activities...as they say...that is life in the big city!

Good morning all! Wife's birthday was yesterday, spent the morning and afternoon up in Athens visiting the folks, had a mini party while we were there. Went to bed last night, and I decided to splurge by leaving the genny running for the fans. Oh we slept sooo good! She's still sleeping it off

I also stopped by the hunting store on the way out of town. My new friend there wants me to make a pair of slings for him, and he wants cartridge strips on them, so I needed to pick up some cartridges to be sure I get them right. Was going over the details of what he wanted- How many cartridges do you want on them? Medium Brown? Basketweave? As I was getting ready to leave, I had one more question- Which shoulder will these be for, left or right? "Oh, I'm going to carry them on the right shoulder... Wait a minute! That won't make any difference!" I just had to chuckle...
