Forty Rod SASS 3935

Mine has water and ice dispensers in the freezer door. They just stopped Friday morning and there isn't even a damp spot there now. No water, no ice, nada. There is no obvious leakage anywhere from the water line to the fridge and no mysterious wet spots inside. It's not an urgent thing.....I have ice cube trays and pitchers for water....but it is mighty inconvenient after being forty plus years with having that handy service. And with some dental work coming up for both my dog and me I can't figure out how to pay for a service call much less a new fridge. Any suggestions on what to look for to fix it? Remember that I have the craft skills of a garden snail. Thanks. 4T

You asked for any pictures I might have of Tom I have gathered a few and have tried to reach you at the email address you gave me. I haven't received any reply (may have written the address down wrong) so if you read this let me get a mailing address from you so I can sen them.

Water and debris? Maybe this will be the first step in finding water on Mars, which is what we've been trying to find since Mars was recognized as a planet.

Can you say "hazard to navigation"? I knew you could.

If the gun belt's problem leave it and have someone throw it to you after you're over the fence. You need the hat at that point like you need the mumps or about like you need the radio, cuffs and all the rest of that crap. You can't use any of it until you're over the fence anyway. I already told you to get a couple of blankets from your emergency kit to get over the wire and what to do about the shoes. These guys are there to protect the past and possibly next President of the United States. Part of their every day job is to take risks and do uncomfortable things up to and including giving their lives. My God, people, this was a live fire attack on POTUS. Stop making excuses for them and tell people how to grow a pair or take up another line of work. Let's face it: a whole bunch of people screwed the pooch in this incident. It should never happen again.

Buckminster Fuller also built the first geodesic dome buildings and has numerous other things to his credit. There used to be a short movie clip somewhere on the wire of the Dymaxion and a cop. The officer is trying to write a ticket (although I suspect it was staged) and the car is idling but moving is a very slow circle around the man who simply pivots as the thing turns around him.

A NON-SASS question on this site? Perish forbid! Say it isn't so! Sorry, Rankin, but that's what the Saloon is here for. Not familiar to your name. Are you the new kid on the block? If so, welcome aboard. If not drinks are on you.

Maybe rust and left wing politicians. I told a cop that after I got pulled over (they were stopping all white sedans because of a little girl being thrown into a trunk of one. It wasn't me.) and I presented my driver's license and CCW card. He thanked me and asked why I showed him the CCW card. I told him I did because I didn't want any surprises. He thanked me saying "Neither do I." His radio let him know that the search was over and he asked me about my SASS decal and we got to talking. He said I didn't have to answer but did I have a gun in the car. I told him I usually carry a few and he laughed and asked if I was afraid of something. I told him "only rust and left wing politicians." (Not an original line. I think I read it here in the Saloon.) We've gone shooting together a few times since then. I'm still trying to get him to join SASS.

His first movie was Hell Is For Heroes...one my favorite movies of all times. It's a war movie and he's a "comic relief" in an otherwise brutal and well-acted story. I don't think he ever did anything I didn't like.

Two guys face each other and lock arms. Guy #3 climbs onto their arms and stands erect. Guy#4 hand guy number 3 an emergency blanket or two to be draped over the wires on top. Guy #4 then climbs over and drops inside the fence. If the shoes are an issue take them off. Elapsed time under three minutes. In the meantime the rest find a way to pull the fence over or break through the apparently flimsy gate locks and hinges.

It seems that everything I read or hear any more is just one more argument for retroactive birth control.

I was married on the 16 of July, 1965.....59 years ago yesterday. Just a side note.

I do, too, but usually at an out door site (like woods or desert) and from the shoulder. It's funner that way.

Long annoying commercials? Are there any other kind?

Pictures. We want pictures.

I'd add an old fashioned Boy Scout match container with a screw-on lid. Just about double the size of Garth's rig but I think I can still pack that much weight.

Don't want to go back. Did all that once and don't wish to do any of it again. Very few regrets. My past sins won't try to catch up to me because I'Il face them down or whup the bejabbers out of them.

We used to climb a fence almost exactly like that when I was about ten years old to get into the basketball court at a school down the road. But then again, we didn't worry about getting our pretty uniforms damaged or dirty. This is just embarrassing to watch.

Thanks. It's good to know.

Okay, my prehistoric brain doesn't even understand what that is.

The best computer on Earth is fueled by hamburgers, milk shakes, bacon and eggs, shrip ocltails and the liek...and so very FEW people use theirs for anything of value.

Yeah, so did I. Guess I've been spoiled by people like Reba MacIntire (SP?) and a local gent named Harrison (?)and dozens of other people who don't add a lot of BS frills of their own. Some are absolutely disrespectful and others simply stink.

WHY?

IF the right guy comes along in seven or eight years he could catch a keeper........if he's good enough and smart enough and quick enough.

O. J. walked away, too. What more can I say?
