Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

We've got a 37% chance of rain today. Had to put the cab cover on the Jeep.

They ALL have phones. Remember the Obamaphone program? It's still in effect. I frequently see popup tents touting "FREE PHONE!" across the street from Parks where the bums hang out. As for charging? No problem. The City Parks have electrical service in them, ostensibly so that when a family comes to use the facility, (which they don't BECAUSE of all the bums hanging out there), they can plug in a radio or some such. The bums charge their phones THERE.

One of my favorite Waffle House experiences was back in 2018, on my first road trip back to Ohio. I stopped for breakfast in Tulsa on the way home. The waitress was a slightly older woman for a waitress, (50ish), and had been on duty all night, so when she stopped to take my order, she just sat across from me in the booth while she did so. As I ordered, she commented on my selections, either agreeing with them, or telling me what she would have instead. It took several minutes to place what would normally be a 30 second order. And we had a nice conversation. Just remembered another Waffle House from the same trip. Supper in St. Louis Mo. The place wasn't busy, it was about 8:30 at night, only two employes working, a couple nice black girls. There was only maybe two other customers in the place, so they weren't busy. They were conversing loudly, just having a good time at work, (I know, against policy most places), talking about what they do off duty. One was telling about the clubs she went to, and told the other about picking up guys. She said one of her favorites was to go up to a guy and accuse him of owing her mother back child support! I was laughing too hard to hear whether it worked or not.

I'm starting to get p***ed off at the whole bunch of ya. Some of ya seem to have diarrhea of the fingers.

Whisperin' Bill Anderson's Waffle House Christmas from a while back:

That song they sang right after.

The song "My Rifle, My Pony, and Me" was fine, but that thing they did after that did NOT fit the movie.

Forty, they're ALL crazy except for you and me, and sometimes I wonder about you.

One of Murphy's Laws of Combat: Tracers work both ways.

And even though we have the DVDs of them, we STILL stop and watch whenever they're on.

Military Intelligence. Fun Run.

How does your phone access the internet? I have Cox internet as part of my package through them, along with T.V. and phone, (landline). As part of the internet package, it comes with a router that has built in wifi. My laptop runs off that, as well as my wife's tablet and cell phone. I would think that you could get wifi that runs off whatever internet provider you have.

That's nothin'. I've been on missions with SG1. When I was a child, I rode with Roy Rogers.

With your apparent affinity for your phone, I'm surprised that you don't have a Ring type doorbell App on your phone.

It's a lot stricter on personal weapons now. Even when I was in, ('77-'90) the average Marine would be hard pressed to have one. More senior Officers, probably.

ALL your equipment was built by the lowest bidder!

For which one?

Easy enough. Take the picture. If with your phone, you can send it to your email by text. From your email, download it to your picture files on your confuser. If with a digital camera, download it to you confuser. Presumably, you have your confuser set to place the pics into picture files. Go to the post you want to post the pic in. Go to "Reply" just like you were going to answer the post. At the bottom, in the blue area, there is a image of a paperclip, and it says "Drag files here to attach, or choose files...". Click on "choose files". That will bring up your picture files. Click on the pic you want, and click where it says "Open". That will bring the pic to the reply window. When the pic says "UPLOADED IMAGES", hover you cursor over the pic and click "Insert".

C'mon Forty, PICS!

I hate finger grooves on anything. Even revolvers. They never fit my meathooks. That's one of the reasons I love the 1911 and the SAA.

If it works for you, good on ya. I grew up shoveling snow in Ohio. When I was deployed to Yuma, I decided that Arizona is where I wanted to be. Yeah, it gets HOT here, but after 35 years, i've learned to deal with it.

WINTER STORM ALERT!! It's only supposed to get up to 67 here on Sunday. There's a REASON I left Ohio for Arizona. It'll be hot come Summer, but I don't have to shovel sunshine.

We had a few here. Surprisingly, NO gunshots! Just relatively small fireworks, and not even close to us either. Still enough to turn the dog into a shaking, drooling mess. But they even stopped around 10:30.
