Forty Rod SASS 3935

POOP #2? Everyone but Boston John Doucette #1 was #2. There could be thousands of us by now.

If I have any doubts I write down the info and call the VA Medical Center. My team will go to great lengths to track it down...and report the crap that doesn't ring true. Their motto is if it doesn't sound right or we can't verify it JUST DON'T!

They don't seem to go that deep into anything. It's why I quit teaching.

No kidding? Whose rose garden did you poop in? Tell me what you do / can drink.

Atta boy Blackwater. Add some good coffee and that's a breakfast.

Yul, we have a little place near here called Nana's Cafe. Next to my own, they make the best gravy I ever tasted. I have no clue as to what goes into it but's thicker than most, has good pork sausage in a large percentage, I seem to detect bacon drippings, and something else....but they won't tell and can't identify it on my own. FWIW, I add a small dash of Tabasco to almost everything but ice cream and coffee, but that's just me. BTW, it isn't white gravy but a rich brown color. Come on up and I'll buy you breakfast and you can decide for yourself

Please tell me that isn't another publicly funded California wet dream.

I never had much use for those kinds of rides. I got my jollies by skiing, racing sports cars, climbing mountains and hunting or fishing, chasing girls, and riding horses and mules.....not necessarily in that order. And then there were the years in the Army and Marine Corps.

There are massive numbers of people who just look for some BS reason to force their stupid ideas on other people because you know, they are so much smarter than anyone else so they NEED to force it down our throats to justify their useless existence.....and no one challenges them.

Good question. There was a time when I would have answered yes, but I'm too old and crippled up now to do it. Okay, I'll admit I'm part of the problem these days.

Dad and I used to take eggs along, too. He had a trick: He had about four dozen of the old Alka-Seltzer bottles. (I'd love to find a cache of those bottles. I have no real use for them any more but I'd still like for the nostalgia) He'd crack six eggs and put them one at a time in one of those bottles, put a piece of wax paper over the top and screw the lid back on. He had a few net bags that held six or seven of those bottles and we'd put them in those ice cold Rocky Mountain streams and they'd keep for a week or so. He did he same thing with butter in half pint Mason jars, and a canteen or two full of milk. Mother Nature's fridge. He always made a mix of flour and seasonings for the fish (generally one of three types of trout), and a flapjack mix with a jar of maple syrup. They were kept in some cotton canvas string top bags. We also used the skillet in the stream trick, too. Heavy load but we were seldom more than a few yards from the car and it all fir in a couple of war surplus gas mask bags. We ate well. Hunting was a different story. We took along home made jerky or pemmican, apples, sour dough biscuits, carrots, candy bars, and other things that would fit in our pockets. Add canned beans, chili, soups and a few other things that were left in the car. Refrigeration was suppled by snow or what Dad called "wild ice" busted out of streams or ponds...or frozen puddles. Ate well then, too.

I have a few times, but not in the last 45-50 years....until yesterday. I read it with the idea of what corresponds to today's situation in this country, what the founders were trying to express and what has been violated ever since the document was first published. Start with "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and the other non-defined rights. What? THEY ARE THERE! Go on to what they are damning that has been done by the King of England and his minions and look for similar things that are happening in our own government today. Take your time, change a word here or there to Americanize the titles, name of offices, and who is destroying our lives today. Do this and realize that we have let this happen because we have allowed it to happen...way too often because we didn't understand, didn't believe it was happening, and way too often because we just didn't think it effected us enough to bother with. "Let George do it" runs deeply though our society, right up there with "my vote / opinion won't matter" and "I don't want to get in trouble over this". Do this and let me know what you think. Don't hold back. You won't hurt my feelings, offend me, or change my mind. Just remember , if we don't take a stand against these infringements we forfeit our rights to bitch about it. I'm going to put my soapbox away now and go make some lunch. BTW, next lesson is on the Bill of Rights.

You are generalizing something of no interest nor importance to a vast majority of the people on this planet. JMHO. I'm gone!

No one asked me what I wanted and now I found no one carries what I want anymore. I have been searching for brown Dan Post boots in 12EW for weeks. I was told "they never made those while I was standing there wearing a pair. Same thing with Wrangler jeans in 34 / 28. And the march goes on.

Price the ammo before you decide if it's going to be "fun".
