Forty Rod SASS 3935

When we first moved to California the Red Lion Motel had a tractor show in their parking lot. It was close so the family walked over and spent an afternoon watching the tractors and eating "farm food". They didn't work them all that hard, just drove them around and ran them to let folks see how they looked and sounded. We spent the next week end watching Red Lion replace their entire parking lot.

Still with you brother. Thanks for the address.

Okay, I bought on about an hour ago. If it doesn't work you better plan on a trip out here from Vermont to make it right. Right?

Yes, but he was also one of the best Generals we ever had, before or since. He got the job done and never apologized for winning.

True, but I live in a charmed area: an Amazon hub is just six miles away and have had a order placed at mid afternoon delivered within eleven hours. It's usuall here in three days max.

Does anyone remember the "Kenya Emergency". It went on for a number of years (1950 or '52 until 1960.) The Brits finally put down the rebellion in a very brutal way.

They could take lessons from Amazon. Everybody could take lessons from Amazon.

I found those, but I don't find the Executive model. Guess I'll ahve to call them on Monday.

I've done a LOT of things in my life, but this? Oh Hell no! Charlie.,give us sign: would you do this?

Are they still being made? The website doesn't give me a lot of info and none of their suppliers are much help either.

You'd be hard pressed to put it in a boxcar.

I can, too, but I reserve the right to once in a while to lose it and start raising specifically directed hell.

I remember an April Fools Day a few years back when a young lady asked us to help find her father. He was missing and the family was afraid he had done himself harm. Quite a number of "us" said it was an April Fools Day prank in poor taste. I didn't see it that way and told the wire so in some rather rude terms. A lot of our members got on the ball and we stared trying to help. Her father had gone up the the Greasy Grass country and taken his own life. Her last name was the same as one of my family's names and I stayed in touch with her for some time before she just went on with her life and didn't hear from her any more. God bless you Little Dove, wherever you are and what ever you have become.

It's not bragging if it's right. Not only is it right, but if I were home where I could add half and half orange juice and apple juice and make the best country sausage gravy anywhere it would be perfect....except I'd have to do all the work and clean up and Jen's is very close to being as good as I am. SOOOOOOOOOO, eat your heart out Dude.

HA! It happened again this morning only a bit cooler. Just 69 degrees, but the rest was just as perfect. Felt so good I went to Jen's 7th Avenue Cafe and had biscuits and gravy, five slices of bacon, and three cups of coffee. Looks like it's off to a great start of a Friday.

There is a Hanger Company that make wonderful orthotics. Could it be the same people?

SOOOOOOOOO many reasons not own one. This is simply one more.

I've been thinking this over and want you to know that when it's my turn I'll smile widely at you while peeing on your shoes.

Oh, you mean like mess hall chow and C rats?

So true...and fairly common in my part of Arizona. There are a a lot of ladies in my circle of friends who carry at least one handgun with them everywhere they go and a bunch who have more stashed around their vehicles and homes and even in their places of business. A higher percentage of men carry than women. If I'm very vigilant I can usually spot a concealed gun on about one person out ten or eleven, and probably an equal number (or more) are carrying and I can't spot it Although a CCW is not required (in Arizona we can carry openly or concealed without one) I have one becauseI can buy a gun without a background check, and because I have only been stopped twice in eight years by the police. I alway show my driver's license, registration , insurance card, and CCW card. One of the officers asked me why and I told him very frankly that I just didn't want any surprises. He said he didn't either. Both thanked me for showing it. Yeah, I know, I'm on someone's list. That's a BS excuse. Hell, I've been on someone's list...maybe lots and lots of someones...since the fifteenth of March nineteen forty two. Maybe even earlier because someone was certain to know Mom was pregnant before that. I'll deal with that if and when it gets to be an issue. I won't lose much time worrying about it before that.

Likely illegal in California and some other "blue" states

Or pissed through, in which case you'd be the pr--k that everyone says you are.

Sounds about right.

Fast bug out: 1911, six loaded magazines, belt holster on the righe, mags in back Ithaca 37 pump 12 gauge with 5 in the mag in my hands and a bandoleer with 25 more. Winchester mod 95 with 5 rounds of .30 U. S. Krag in the mag on a sling and 40 in cartridge belt. Two medium sized belt knives, one 4" double edge dirk in a shoulder rig and four various size folding knives (one a side lever switch blade). I can't carry much more than that in the way of weapons.

At my house the four basic food groups are sugar, salt, starch, and cholesterol.
