Forty Rod SASS 3935

Of all my dogs, pedigreed and curs, only one was a failure. He was a three year old dachshund and we were his fifth family. He was an "Army dog" and when someone got transferred he went back to the shelter. He never bonded with anyone. We had a seven month old baby and the dog never hurt him but made a lot of trouble. The final straw was when we got up one morning a found he'd gotten into our son's playpen over night and crapped all over it. I took him down to the Canine Center and told them what happened. The OIC was a Captain who was a friend and I told him I really didn't want the dog put down. He took him back to the kennel where the guard dogs were kept and got him checked out by the vet and put in a training pen. A month or so later I ran into the man I had given him to and asked about the dog. He told me that the dog had "melded right in." He slept in his own area but had the run of the place during the day. When they went to care for the other dogs this little critter ran ahead, checked the other dogs out, then went to the next and the next pen. He spent the day in the office or the yard and became a "caretaker and guardian" of the entire K-9 facility. He was "one of the pack" and found a home.

That's exactly why I bought this one.

That was a rude and naughty thing to do to that last pan.......but it might be buffed out and saved. Hey, Alpo, give it a try.

The U. S. Bureau of Indian Affairs did the same thing with Amerindian kids up until about 1975: took them out of their homes, put them in schools where they were forbidden from speaking their native tongue and couldn't even use their native cultural things because it wasn't "convenient" for the bureaucrats running it. It was, in my mind, a criminal a racial attack by our own government to destroy the American Indian cultures.

Thanks for the tip. I don't do "on line only" anything if I don't absolutely have to.

I bought a Uberti Colt-Burgess rifle about a year ago, just because. It's a lot like the 1973 Winchester, but enough different that it makes it worthwhile. One problem: I afraid to take it apart. It has some really tiny parts and I have some really clumsy hands anymore. It sure handles nicely, though, and draws some great comments and a herd of questions.

"Belgian rattlesnake."

Upgrade the technical gadgetry to find and destroy targets (and identify friendly forces that may be used as support, especially defensive systems to protect the ship. Add target acquisition and identification electronics to spot and destroy other targets using whatever is needed Use support systems like aircraft, satellites, submarines, and anything else systems for detection and identification of everything in a vast range. UPGRADE AND KEEP THE BIG GUNS. PROUDLY FLAUNT AND ADVERTISE TO CAPABILITIES OF THESE SHIP, IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THE INTIMIDATION FACTOR!

We put one in as soon as we bought our house. Two years later I added a solar light set similar to yours. I have replaced the flags several times and the light array once. Lots of flags here. About 1/4 of the homes have them and a lot of cars trucks, businesses, evernmotorcycle and bicycles have them. Feels good!

I have a shelter rescue dog. She's almost 14 years old and still quite active. Only 12 pounds, but she's also very vicious. She will jump right in the middle of almost anyone, try to beat them to death with her tail, lick then down to the bone, and then shed on their clothes.

I can buy a very good creamed chipped beef from Stouffer's and bread from Sara Lee for about 15% of the cost of a cafe dinner. I can make my own biscuits and sausage gravy...and I make some mighty fine B&G..., but Nana's Cafe in Prescott makes some that's almost as good as mine and I don't have to clean up afterwards.

717B (party line of five alpha character endings), became SKyline 2-2175 in 1957, later changed to 752-2175 and stayed that way from 1965 until 1998 when Mom died.

There's a place on Gurley Ave in downtown Prescott that specializes in mead. I've never been there, but my daughter and SIL go there and stock up every time they come to visit. Then they "boot leg" it back to North Carolina. :D

Huh!! I never thought of it that way. I don't remember not having it our house except it was hard to get overseas. Commissaries used to lack a lot but I'm told they have everything stateside groceries have these days.

Not a problem, Doc. Pobody's nerfect. Thanks for trying.

Well, hell! I have Buddig's beef and pastrami in my fridge all the time, along with some others like Black Forest ham. I never made the connection but I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Right on the label: "ground and formed". It just ain't the same.

Sounds like he's an expert on being a dumb ass.

Reading this again brought four more to mind. I have owned all of them at one time or another. 1. 1965 era Ruger Bearcat .22. I gave one to my wife when we got married. My daughter has it now and won't give it back. 2. 1917 S&W in original condition. 3. S&W Model 19 with a 2.5" barrel. 4. S&W Model 19 with a 4" barrel.

I shot mine...once. Now it just fills a gap on my wall.

All of these sound good, but I gave up alcohol almost 26 years ago. I got to liking it too much and was to the point of needing it. I went cold turkey and now I don't drink at all....but I have a well stocked cabinet that I keep for friends and family.

Just plain old chipped beef. I don't want creamed chipped beef. I don't want some pre-chewed chipped beef all ground up , molded, and pressed into strips. Just plain old chipped beef. I used to buy it at almost any butcher shop, but real butcher shops are as scarce as eyebrows on eggs anymore. I can't even find plain old fashioned chipped beef on the internet and not a single store in a forty mile radius even knows what I'm talking about. Butchers my a$$! I found a bunch of old recipes from my Mom while going through some old papers a couple of months back, and my mouth started watering. Chipped beef cut up and mixed in with fresh avocado and Mexican spices. CB in a soup that is made with Campbell's tomato soup and has corn, peas, cauliflower, and a bit of carrott mixed in. CB with melted Kraft Old English Cheese Spread over eggs. CB on toast or in a toasted sandwich with Miracle Whip dressing and fresh sliced radishes. CB in mashed potatoes with beef gravy and mushrooms. CB cut up and cooked in chicken or turkey gravy And the list goes on..... and good center cut bacon can be used in place of CB.....but it isn't the same. It's good too, but it isn't the same. Dad used to call these kinds of dishes "War Time Ration" meals. I've tried several of them with other meats, but I still remember the ones with just plain old chipped beef.

There you go! She can sing and sure looks the part of a gun totin' cowgirl. A whole bunch of this crowd talks funny, too.....'cept me. I've mastered talking like the folks I'm with, at least most of the time. Hey! I guess that makes me talk funny, too.

Mo Lasses compiled a bunch of recipes from SASS members into a book some years ago. (I'd give a lot for a pristine copy. Mine's showing its age and mileage now). One entire chapter was about "apple pie" and every recipe started out with a huge measure of hard cider and added some other things as it went along. One or two were fit for little kids, but some were, I think, used by Musk for his rocket fuel. Some could make you go loop legged just reading about them.

They are not afraid of you, just cautious. They can calculate odds in their head faster than any computer. There was a story going around of a professional cat hunter who had his pack of seven dogs that accidently cornered a cougar in a parking lot. The cat killed three of them and he had to destroy two more. It was said the fight lasted only s few seconds' The cat got away.
