  1. I keep a half gallon pitcher of water and one of sweet tea plus a few cans ofV-7 and a jug each of orange juice and apple juice (for my 50-50 juice cocktail for breakfast. My spare fridge in the garage is home to coke, Dr. Pepper root beer, and 7 Up.....and sarsaparilla. Lots of sarsaparilla, I also have two cans of coffee (one with caffeine and one without) and a half dozen varieties of tea. Bottled water is a staple, too. NO ONE LEAVES MY HOUSE DEHYDRATED! NO ONE!!
  2. My wife and daughter went to Ireland some years ago and loved the place. Their only negative comment were about narrow roads and big trucks. My wife wanted to buy a small castle (Bunratty?) there, but it wasn't for sale.
  3. Now you're just showing off. Once upon a time I was an English teacher, but this sent me scrambling for my dictionary and thesaurus (a very large extinct reptilian animal that was noted for its extremely large vocabulary.)
  4. That's one of the reasons I left Mars for Arizona. I just don't like cold weather.
  5. It can also tell your opponent EXACTLY where you are. Of course, the guy might have already figured that out by where he saw your flashlight.
  6. Welcome back...and you'll get tomatoes when you deserve them. This poem didn't qualify as a salad starter by a long shot.
  7. My wife carried a Charter Arms Undercover for years. My daughter favors a five shot Taurus lightweight .38. I don't recall the model, but she's has it it since before the Rodney King mess. My daughter-in-law likes, but doesn't carry on her person, a Ruger that I gave my son a few years ago. When I worked at gun stores in California we sold about 50% / 50% revolvers and semi-autos to our lady customers.
  8. Simple answer: It is purpose-built to be the meanest, nastiest, and most indestructable killing machine we have. flown by people who have been taught how t get the most out of it. They are supported by experts at making it work to perfection. Used to be that the SPAD could make a similar claim, but it has finally been moved back down the ladder somewhat.
  9. Garth, old son, I grew up with and have been immersed in, guns all my life. I pride myself on knowing as much as I do about them, but seldom a day passes when I don't learn something new and useful right here on this site. I've dropped almost of the magazines I used to subscribe to and the places I used to go to on the internet and some of the clubs I have belonger to, but SASS and the NRA are always there when I need them. Cherish the good you can find here almost instantly and avoid the crap you have shoved at you almost everywhere else. I dropped almost every publication I used to go to regularly and (aside from the link to TV I get from Amazon and seldom use) I don't have a TV contact.My life is calmer than it was before I started flushing these things.
  10. About three years back I found a shotgun I wanted for $600.00. I had $200.00 on me and the salesman said they could put it on lay away. I hadn't heard the term used in forty years. I put it on layaway and paid it off a month later. Model 37 Ithaca Feather light 12 gauge in solid 95% condition...exactly like the first shot gun I ever bought back in 1958.
  11. I don't really like coffee. I just use it as a medium to get sugar.....LOTS OF SUGAR....into my system. (Not true at all, but it sounded good.)
  12. I've been in a lot of armored vehicles. I NEVER saw any that spacious and that clean. 'Twasn't like that in the Old Corps...nor the Army, either.
  13. Stubby Stoes Happy M. Aye Smokey Fyers
  14. Humpy-back camels and...(keep it going) Chim....
  15. So would I, but I wouldn't have this ugly mess as a gift.
  16. I love all those period correct safety glasses. Seriously, during my five years in Japan and Okinawa (before we gave it back to Japan) we managed to see dozens of ancient skills and ceremonies. None were less than interesting, and many were simply amazing. I never saw this set of demonstrations. I wish I had. Of course 200 Samurai archers working together like a perfectly choreographed drill team was mighty spectacular, too.
  17. How about we expand that to include ex LOS, retired or not....and all of us Honorably Discharged military folks, too. What's that noise? Millions of anal sphincters slamming shut all across the land? I carry almost everywhere I go, but then again, I live in Arizona. The ONLY reason I have a CCW is because I can buy a gun without going through a background check.
  18. Why in hell is any of this the government's business? Y'all need to read a book titled The Probability Broach. I read it years ago and it made a big change in my thinking and, to quite a degree, in my life. ๐Ÿ‘
  19. Yeah, and some of the mules and horses were carrying double, too. A terrible way to to treat the animals and not all that great on the men, either.
  20. You need to talk to your doctor about strange reactions to your meds. Seriously, old son! ๐Ÿคจ
  21. And in a place that hasn't printed all the signs backwards
  22. We called them "jumpers" Levis was the best brand Two front breast pockets Two lower front pockets Two inside chest pockets ALL pockets large enough TO BE VALUABLE Button-closed front opening, adjustment straps, and outside pockets They came in several colors of blue, some in black, and "white Levis" that were really a very light tan or beige Levis doesn't make them like that any more Lees aren't worth taking home Wrangler is close, but I can't find them locally On-line ads don't have any details on any of them Carhart's look funny, they and Ariates have their loco all over all of their products, and I've had quality-control issues with Wranglers There are dozens of foreign no-name brands and I don't trust them A lot are available already "worn out, torn, stained, and aged" Allegedly Boot Barn, Walmart, J. C. Penney and some others carry them, but I can't find them in stock and refuse to buy any clothes that I can't try on Suggestions?
  23. I think that is bass ackwards here in north-central AZ. lots of senior citizens, kids, and furriners who just don't pay attention. A goof friend had a young ladt talking on a cell phone run a light totaled his car. She claimed she had a green light, but two different people waited for the LEOs just so they could tell them what really happened. Somehow neither driver was injured very badly I've had a lot of close calls by folks just not paying attention: ADOT drivers, old people, young people, a local cop, and others, UPS drivers, a couple of taxi cabs.
