You gots to work with what you got!

"Pissed as a cricket"? I'm gonna have to do that!

I am a big boy and I find that as I have aged, with mature expansion, keeping a gun belt at the proper elevation has become problematic. I was finishing dressing with my gunbelt when I accidentally solved the problem. My decorative knife slipped into my hip pocket preventing any loss of gun belt altitude.

Still have some dizzy spells from the fall. My knee is beautiful on the outside and still a little instabile on the inside. Both situations are far better than a year ago. My girls are showing their holiday gift training. 3 bottles of good scotch. 4 bottles of excellent Irish, a bottle of Crown Royal and a bottle of rum. WE could have a good meeting.

Here I feed you guys lines to crack wise for a week. What do I get? Well thought out facts and opinions that actually answered my most of my questions and gave enough thinking excercise to give me beginnings of intelligent conversations. I have been told that the only way to improve yourself is to associate with persons who are smarter than you are. Thank you for the opportunity for me to get a little smarter. On a semi-related subject: Abeline Slim, I am in desperate need of one of our "prayer meetings" I am the proud owner of Fingers' 38 special white gripped open-tops.

Yes

My understanding of international politics is severely limited. My War experience is also limited. That said. I was in Germany when Kennedy was shot and I was sitting on a hot firing point for about 3 days before the bigger heads figured things out and war was averted. I lined up for double arm injections in preparation for South American ventures with Castro. I got to endure the 'TET offensive in Vietnam which from our point of view was much ado about nothing. Each of the experiences I have endured could have developed into into situations that could have ended my life and/or my wife and children's and quite a few other humans. I still remember quite well the cold metallic taste in my mouth and the lump of lead in my stomach. I really did not want to kill a bunch of folks that didn't think like me or anticipating those folks trying to do the same to me. So, Having those experiences and seeing what we did to Vietnam and being aware of what we did to Germany, my question is. What in the hell are these fools thinking that they would wish to inflict that on the world today. I saw nothing produced by war that was anything other than bad.

I have problems with "strange sounds in the night". I'm afraid I might do something inappropriate living inside a house made of wind driven whistling and moaning beer bottles.

I'm with Larsen, what's a "shift".?

Tito's showed up a year or so ago. I immediately bought some for 2 reasons. Made in Texas and they had the nerve to advertise it as carbohydrate free.

I'll still take the ford!!!

ALL BLACKS

I don't like this picture. You can't see the frogs teeth!

AS DOES ANY OF THE IRISH WHISKYS

I will guarantee you folks, Old age is a proper bitch!

Dois better;n me!!

There are a couple of good books written about THE HORSE SOLDIERS. They were the first American fighting force into Afganistan. Because of the lack of material support, they were forced to rely on the Afaganis for horses for transportation. An heroic effort by true heros. The closest comparison is they brought knives to a gun fight. It was brought home to me when I learned that "shooter # 5" on my posse at CAC was one of those heros. Another posse had the privilege of shooting with another. SALUTE

I was proud of his efforts.

I told you you had better tie a chunk of firewood to them guns if'n you keep hauling them back an forth across Beaver.

I was wearing the crossed canon and the CC with the Nike interchangeably from 1961 to 1968. Never knew they represented different weapon systems. Was in Lacross Missile, 155 Toad, 8" SP then went Intelligence and got to wear the daggered Daisy then just before out I wore the silver star with the crest of the General Staff. Liked the AIS best but the General staff was certainly the easiest.

I had a "significant, life threatening" (Dr.s emphasis) brain injury three+ years ago from a fall on my front porch. I was more than a little affected, both mentally and physically by this injury. My wife called on a cowboy friend to take my guns and hold them for me. The fear being that I could accidentally injure myself or someone else in my unstable physical condition. She and my son gathered and took the guns to the friend. A couple were missed. They were later found and hidden in the house. All have returned except one favorite gun that was hidden in the house. Favorite gun: Ruger BlackHawk Hunter(stainless) Bisley in 41 Mag that has been "touched up" by Gary Reeder{buffalo horn grips on a reshaped gunfighter grip with a full internal smoothing}. It has two favorite loads. Load 1 is 165 grain JHP over a whole bunch of W296. Chrony says 1875 fps and load 2 is a 260 gr LBT LFN over a bunch of W296. Load #2 hurts on this end and steel animals jump and fall down on the other end. It was hidden by my son who was a strange young man, extremely intelligent, and he was very artistic in his hiding so no logic can be applied, I've even searched the freezers. Gun has not been found after extensive searches and my son has died. He lived with us and did not own a vehicle. I know there is nothing you can do to help, I just hadn't vented about it in quite a while.

Is there anyone that can or will take Trumps Twitter and Facebook accounts away from him???Most of his problems were due to him shooting off his mouth on "social media" If he runs in 24 and cannot keep his mouth shut I could be talked into a different candidate. No, God no, not a Democrat, but some one that can follow Trumps style of President. with an adult personality.

Cat Curling. Looks like fun to me. We'll put BOOK on the target as a goalie.

I say, Thanks for your support
