Pat Riot

Who makes these shirts? Where do you buy them? I have been looking for decent camp shirts for a while now.

They’ll give you a blanket. No problem.

I thought I was going to get to see a good recipe for cooking children…

No IFF operating on the plane or on the ship’s Combat Systems. Heads are gonna roll!

How does it go into the torpedo?

It’s probably broke. I would return it. I own a solar charger that attaches to a battery pack to charge. When the battery pack is low it literally takes all day to charge the battery pack when outdoors in partial sun and shade -as the sun moves. The solar panel on my pack is 5x5 inches. How big is the panel on yours?

Mine are all in boxes in the basement. I think there are 4 boxes, maybe 5. A new box appears every time we move. Someday I will sort them again. I will sort by genre. Cops & Robbers Westerns War Sci-Fi Comedy Holidays Everything else I have no idea how many movies we have EDIT: In our last move I gave all the VHS tapes to Goodwill. There were enough to fill 3 huge Rubbermaid crates.

I’m with you on this one.

Dangit PaleWolf! Now you’ve blown my cover. If people think I’m dumb they’ll leave me alone and not expect anything from me. Now I guess I have to go with extreme color coordination and I will probably have to wear a silly hat now… Like this guy!

That’s pretty darn cool.

Same here

Call a lady “Doll” these days and see what happens.

I honestly think primer prices are still high due to gouging. Powder prices are high due to the nitrocellulose shortage.

My Dad took the BB tubes out of a couple of old BB guns and let us kids have them. This was before the new ones we got for Christmas that he took away a month or so later. Anyway, you could cock the gun then poke the barrel into mud then fire it. The 1”x3/4” plug of mud would leave the bore at a pretty good clip. Fast enough to stick little mud balls all over the garage doors. We were very impressed by this. My Dad was not. We were not very impressed with getting 3 cracks with the belt and standing in the corner for an eternity (in kid time that’s about 30 minutes)

I think that guy has been spying on me and copying some of my moves.

I’ll bet! I have been in heavy seas on a ship and in boats. It’ll put a tweak in yer get-along, that’s for sure.

And giant evil clowns

My wife says “You just don’t like people covering up who they are.” This could be part of it. I did respond with “Maybe that’s why I don’t like people in business suits.” Do you remember the trend of people dressing up as evil clowns and showing up in odd places while others videoed them from the ground and from drones about 10 years ago? It was a common thing in Oregon for a while. I recall a Forest Ranger at the Molalla River Recreation Area telling me to be on the lookout for these idiots and “do not shoot them!” I was in a designated range area. I remember telling him “I won’t make any promises.” He laughed and bid me a good day. The only one of these idiots I encountered was in the city of Portland when I had gone downtown for a meeting. I had just parked my bike in a parking garage and I heard a sound. I looked and hiding behind the elevator enclosure was an evil clown with orange hair and a scary grin peaking out looking at me. I yelled over “Hey ***hole, **** around and I will shoot you. I am not kidding.” Clown boy took off. The parking attendant heard me and asked me not to shoot him on his property as I was walking out into the street. I laughed and said that I had just said that to scare the clown off, but in reality I may have seriously considered it if that clown would act menacing and get too close. Not sure how that would have played out. Glad it never happened. One guy I met said he was deer hunting and an evil clown approached him in the woods in a forest near Mount Hood. He said he figured the clown ruined any chance of him seeing a deer so he fired his rifle into a tree stump then yelled “The next one goes into you”. He said the clown ran like hell and that was that. I asked if he had big floppy shoes on. He said “No, the idiot had regular shoes.” I asked “Would you have shot him?” He said “No, but the clown didn’t know that.” I am glad that idiocy has gone by the wayside. A little humor:

“Plongeur” means “Diver”. Any ship can dive. Only the specially designed ones can resurface.

If you ever get a chance to tour the USS Iowa BB-61 in Long Beach, CA I am sure you would be awestruck. https://pacificbattleship.com/ I toured it in 2019. We couldn’t go below the main deck because they were working on her, but it was still quite an experience.
