Under the radar…

Some people will race anything with an, (or several) engine!! *please forgive the pitiful AI narration*

Spirited away!

Gonna’ whack someone??

Stayin’ in Texas??

Deviled ham and potted meat were lunchtime staples back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s when I was just married and broke most of the time! A loaf of cheap white bread, a pack of cheese, a couple cans of each, and a jar of Miracle Whip, (I was mostly too broke to afford mayo and pickles separately) and I had lunch for most of the week!! When I was close to my folks’ place, I’d take a couple of tomatoes and some fresh peppers to spice up the sandwich and I’d usually splurge on Friday and buy a burger of some Kentucky Fried Chicken for lunch! Later, when I got a better job and we were more soundly financed, I ate better, but for years, on Fridays, the whole shop shut down for lunch and we’d eat bologna sandwiches and potato chips and drink RC Cola for lunch! We had all been brokeassed kids growing up and all of us were doing pretty well, so it was a throwback to old times! When some of the new hires that came along later refused to join us, the boss said that they had to go somewhere else for lunch on Friday if they didn’t go along with it! Some stayed and joined the fun. Others never appreciated what we were celebrating! I just remembered that I have a can of Spam in the pantry!! We’ve tightened the budget this month since the Fat Red HoHo went deep into our funds for Christmas, so I think I’ll slice it up and fry me some this morning and have it with biscuits and cheese with gravy and maybe some grits for brunch today!!

Unobtrusively…

I was thinking of a Model P junior in .32 cal.!!

Time is tight!

More BS&T!

Congrats and welcome to the ranks!!

Crazy weather here the last couple of days! Friday was clear and bright in the morning and cold! A few hours later, it’s raining and mid 40s. Stayed above freezing last night and it’s pretty but windy and just around 40 again! S’posed to snap off cold again tonight, somewhere around 19f. Got my grandson for the weekend and he’ll get to stay over ‘til Monday for the federal holiday, so we get to celebrate his 18th birthday! He brought a souvenir T-shirt from their “Christmas Carol” play for me, a present for my recent birthday! We spent a good portion of the day in the gun room, he and I, labeling ammunition that I have assembled and stocked up on! My penmanship SUCKS, so I bought a neat little thermal label maker/printer and I have been labeling over all of my scroungy hand written box marking. With his help, we finished all of the pistol and rifle labels today. He also got several of my recent plaques from various matches hung, (they take up less space hanging on the wall than they do stacked up on the shelves) and he noticed how many that recognized Schoolmarm for her exploits in CAS. He was stunned!!! He hadn’t realized that she was a multi-time state champion in Black Powder competition, both in category and overall! Ain’t got a lot to GRUMP about today, ‘ceptin fer we don’t get to have the boys over often enough!! GRUMP ON,PARDS!!

David Clayton Thomas at his best!! My favorite BS&T number…

As I said in the other post on this subject, this is a good thing and definitely progress in regaining the full measure of the Second Amendment! As this article points out, there hasn’t been time for the Postal Service to rewrite the rules and guidelines, so for now, it’s a shaky situation if you try to mail a handgun.

That’s what I found as well.
