The delay caused because Santa Ana wouldn't bypass the fort was actually pretty important to the Republic. But, jerk or not, the stand was a brave damn thing. Anyone who has visited the Alamo would be ill advised to call any of the defenders jerks. At least in my presence.

Not a problem. Construction kinda slows down around here this time of year.

I've decided that the next structure that's put up here will only involve me sitting in a lawn chair watching the crew.

But it's Usige in Gaelic.

Has Bama peaked too soon?

30x30 would be plenty big enough for me!

Don't care who kisses who. I never go out on amateur night.

Har! I got that stuff in California. Not exactly Garand territory.

Tish....you're speaking French again! ❤

Yeah I think at 55 bucks I did okay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Vietnam-War-vintage-US-Army-APH-5-helicopter-flight-helmet-/322365707650?hash=item4b0e7e5582:g:ja8AAOSwB09YMlQA

The sculpture is the awesomest though! http://www.khaki-army.com/15-limited-edition-military-statues

When I'm heading to the last roundup I hope they put a half full glass next to the bed. Can't decide if it should be Tequila or Bourbon though.

And a happy and prosperous New Year to you, Pard!

I try to keep a half full glass.

Party. Fight. Gunshots. How many times have we seen this before. Both pros and college athletes.

Retirement rocks!

Plenty of good people died. Including friends of mine. But they weren't "celebrities". I suspect next year will be the same.

Ditto. I make and break enough resolutions during the year. Why bother now?

And I picked up this 1968 aircrew helmet at a little antique shop. I think I did okay for 55 bucks. http://www.flighthelmet.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FHL&Product_Code=25100&Category_Code=VN5A

A very entertaining game. And surprising. 'Noles were fired up.

I could be wrong about FSU. They seem fired up.

Vols were on fire. I will now watch the Seminoles get whupped unfortunately. At least I have plenty of liquor. And Christmas candy.

Wow!

May he rest in peace with his ancestors.

EXACTLY! Navy SEALS need pointy knives. Nobody else does.
