Damn but I do love Arizona.
Good luck trooper and well done Samaritan.

Two guys sitting in a bar last night, watching the championship game.
#1 says, "I do not understand why 'bama does not have 51 percent of the points. They deserve the national championship!"
#2 says, "The final score decides whether the Tide or the Tigers is the best team."
And then the fight started...
(There was an article in USA Today website today telling how Clemson would not be in the championship game but never mentioned that they won the game last night.)
Old age? Hell,son, I was only 26 at the time.

BF 108 Taifun (Typhoon) was originally a 2 seat civilia aircraft and late a four seater.
Buil6 in the '30 to get around restrictions agains building military aircraft, it eventually turned into a courier airplane and was also used as a trainer.

Haven't been there since 1976 and see no reason to ever go back.

Attaboy Officer Weaver. Like Blackwater said, you'll do. High praise from a taciturn Kentucky cowboy

When I was still a 1st Lieutenant I was in an Officers Club in Ton Son Nhut. (Spelling?). Another 1st Lieutenant was at the bar bragging about being a West Point graduate and loudly declaring that "mustangers" and ROTC grads were NOT real officers. I listened to that for awhile then told the table that it was my turn to get the drinks.
i walked up to the bar right next to this guy and ordered the drinks, then while I was waiting I turned to him and asked if he was a West Pointer. He turned to the others with him and said "See? It shows". I said "No, it doesn't. I just noticed your class ring while you were picking your nose".He made the mistake of spinning his bar stool as he turned to swing. He was unconscious before he fell.
Wasn't even a real fight.
Guess West point didn't teach him all he needed to know.

I suspected there was criminal insanity in your family!
Huh!
Why did you "suspect"? I'd have told you. Heck, son, we're proud of it.

Since we started talking about retirement, let me tap your collective experiences on making the transition:
1. Did you stay in your home or move elsewhere? Why? Stayed there for 11 years until my retired, then escaped to Arizona.
2. Did you buy/build a smaller house? How has that worked out? Bought a larger house with much larger lot. So far so good.
3. Are you a snowbird? How do you make that work? No!
4. What would you do differently? Gotten out of California much sooner. Planned my finances better.
5. What was your biggest mistake? Not leaving California 13 years ago.
Very subjective, I know; but I'm just looking for your best thoughts.
Much appreciated.

Never saw weasels with enclosed cabs before. Some good (not very long) scenes a PA-1/PB-2 locomotives, one of the most beautiful engines ever.

The more girlfriends you have....... The less you hurt........
I dunno about that. At my age one could kill me.

A Bernardelli Brescia 12 gauge double hammer gun two barrel set. It could be used for SASS, but really........
If anything was left over I'd start shopping for a 1903 Mannlicher Schonauer carbine in 6.5 x 54 MS. Might work for Wild Bunch..... but again, really.......

Howdy
I am proposing a new rule to be voted on at the next Territorial Governors meeting.
The use of the term 'Period Correct' will be banned. Sounds too much like Politically Correct. Try using an alternative term such as Historically Accurate.
Shooters who are heard to use the term on a stage will have thirty seconds added to their time.
Shooters who use it a second time will be ejected from the match. Ejected so that they land butt first on a Saguaro cactus.
Posters who use of the term on the SASS Wire will be severely reprimanded.
Ocotillo is a better choice. Other than that I find nothing wrong with your proposal.
OK, it's January and I may be suffering from cabin fever a little bit.
But I have always hated that term, and just read it one too many times.

My wife and I were discussing that very subject several days ago when I realized that I didn't have a single piece of original equipment that didn't need some help to function as designed.
Had a car like that once. Sold it for scrap.

Well if I remember correctly there were only three of them and two of them shaved the other had a beard and all three when seen from a distance ya couldn't tell if they were walking or rolling.
Jealousy is such an ugly thing in someone like you who seems like such a nice person otherwise.

He should have been executed 35 years ago, give or take a couple of years.
He's been using up resources to keep him alive, resources better spent on almost anything else.

Yeah. I ever could figure out why anyone would fight off the women, especially when there are so many guys who couldn't catch one if they tried.

I'm at the age where anything that still works hurts.
Most mornings it's my lower back and right ankle. Within an hour the back pain goes away but the ankle can go on for days. My hands hurt when it's cold and my right thumb hurts almost all the time.
Like you, everyday brings a new misery, sometimes small, sometimes larger, but always something new.
Nobody said that getting old was easy. Old age is not for the weak or timid..... but still, there a lot of advantages.

They worked well on our M-706 / V-100 light Armored Assault Vehicles in 'Nam and at Seal Beach.
I don't know how the civilian versions work.

Ask 40, he's old enough to remember.
Like Birdgun said. He knew Travis better than I did.
Glad we were both in Las Vegas losing our money when the Alamo fell.

Ay 62 I threw everything up in the air and walked out from under it.
Best choice I ever made except for marrying Shawna.

No offense, 10 Chain, but I have a feeling you weren't anywhere near as cute!
Depends on who's looking. She might have thought I was gorgeous..... too.
On pulling the plug...

You'll be surprised how quickly you adapt to being retired. I found that I have things I've wanted to do but never had time for.... so many that I still don't have time for all of them.
Come see me in Arizona. I'll make a believer out of you.
