watab kid

thats fun

NOPE , but apparently my wife has - we have three in the process , one done here , they were working fine for me ......but i dont need the luxury she does apparently , she mentioned the lawn last year but i ignored her , spring is coming tho ................. nothing like taking on projects in the most expensive areas of the house , im sure ill hear about the kitchen soon , its dated and the appliances are only a few new - dish washer , refrigerator , rest are dated , sometimes it seems like one can never keep up , .........would be fun to go a year without spending on these things , ill need a water heater soon too ,

yup - first steps to communism is to ban words , rewrite history , turn folks against one another internally and then take control , impression those they think not in agreement or unfit , guess who goes to the gullags first ............................

sorry i was slow - you have my prayers for both you and he as well as her , ive dealt with this with my mother and i know a little , just enough to know prayers are a valuable approach as there is not a lot of others

i also use red dot or clays , im running 13 rns under 3/4oz , in a federal premium hull with wads i get from ballistic products , we dont need much for our targets and no reason to beat yourself up ,

i was simply being respectful of your request when you fell ll , i will get my needs in order and place my order , hope i get to see you again soon , iif not ill never forget

that was my point - she worked off everything given , and now as a fairly well-off wage earner contributes back to those schools every year to fund the future benefits to students getting these grants and scholarships - these are paid for by someone they are not just materializing from thin air , exactly like the government money - it comes from those that are taxed and exactly like the loans biden is forgiving - we the taxpayers are paying them back , better a kid work it off , pay it back , or reinvest in the future - but how much of that do you see ?

you know there is that attraction that we were taught as kids that we seem to find hard to ignore even with the harping and school videos even the service warnings - im thinking you sometimes need to be just like the nuns in my catholic school background and keep things separated that you dont want combined

i think i might start hearing the theme for the twilight zone in my ear as i was trying to figure out how they could have heard it , a WWII sub would be more believable at that moment , but that black flag would send some chills and me scurrying for some defense

heart ;leaped to mind but no not about that car - great song and great car too ,

nothing is free - someone is paying for it , ill add that my daughter got a 'free ride' at a couple different universities but she worked it off coaching in one case for a masters and the other masters was paid by an employer that wanted to keep her , her startup was playing ball and she worked her tail off for that too ,

my hat is off , covering my heart in thanks for the sacrifices made

yup , there was no tree too tall to climb , no ravine too steep or covered with trees too tough to sled , no stream that could prevent us from going where we wanted to go - without safety gear [we would have been laughed at] but we did carry first aid kits on our many excursions as good boy scouts did , so many things id never think of doing anymore and am glad my kids didnt try but ....it made us who we are today didnt it ? what are our youngsters being made into today ?

yes , most do it on their own , here at least , we know what they look like we still have some of them downtown in our small towns - a lot of them date to the exact era we are looking for , but if you check out some of the links to ranges posted here for various clubs you will find great ideas ,

i shall read it , but i grew up with it , my father never stopped praising the marines for their service and ive known a number of them that served in that capacity - most all dead now , but one particularly was an artist as well as fighter , he had sketches that he had done for yank and such , he shared some to view , he was on most of the well remembered invasion's including saipan [where my father ended up] and iwo jima , i knew him as an art professor at a local college but he was a marine first and a montanna cowboy before that ,

you are way too kind calling them rebels - in my mind the rebels [fy family in the south] had a very defined and understood basis for their thinking , right or wrong , these campus idiots are supporting terrorist groups that have that without even understanding what they are supporting , if on the other hand they do understand - i think we have rooms in Guantanamo that are unoccupied for exactly this kind of people , when the next strike occurs here - and its coming soon , i blame first the open boarder people - hang them from light poles - and secondly the idiots that think communism is a good thing ,

some of these hollywood stories make me think of life in my chosen fields , they all deal this out and they all have their pecking order , you pay your dues before you get to rise to your highest level , what bugs me and i dont remember this of ford , is why these types think they are anointed to some position of telling the rest of us what we should think and how we need to vote , what is worth believing in ...............i knida like the constitution and what it gives us all the liberty to think , vote , say , oi get it when your employed you gotta respect the boss - ford was the boss , i read JWs auto and he did not badmouth ford , i suspect ford was looking for maximum performance and thought that was the motivation , it seemed to work his productions were a success , and most that worked for him wanted to work with him again , i know little to nothing of the movie buisness but i know id not have wanted to work with actors in my work life , yes i did get exposed and still am , my wife and BIL were actors locally , my neice just graduated and is hired by the black hills theater company , we will be attending some performances but im still skeptical of actors - too manny lived in my house back in the day when the wife and BIL were involved in a major local presentation , it was an interesting summer but id never do it again , those people are nuts

for what its worth , in my youth my younger siblings always blamed me as my folks always held me , the eldest responsible for every indiscretion no matter the severity - even when i was not present , im only able to say that i know other families with other dynamics of those times that might have looked at things in the opposite way but those were more rare than mine ,

my father had a lathe in our shop at home - i used it a few times , it was used to turn steel projectiles during the war , we ended up with it when the company he worked for sold off a lot of the outdated and undersized pieces of equipment they used in those years , it was a small turret lathe that was big in our garage shop , but wow was it nice equipment - far better than my high school shop had ,

i remember a lot of old B&W cowboys using ropes and doing tricks with such , but ill be if i can remember all the names at this point in life ,

ive read a lot of these , particularly as related to the pacific campaign , its not easy to know that the soldiers were feeling the same and thinking the same but following the other side , but ive read that of a lot of wars - the civil war in particular as we were all americans in that save those foreign entities trying to influence the outcome by rendering aid like france germany and england , but also our indian wars - i read a very interesting version of the battle of the little big horn from the indians point of view often we forget or just never heard the other side of arguments , sometimes it matters and sometimes its just educational , i think its always worth the listen or read to hear the other side of the story - agree or not , its worth hearing and considering , even if you reject it in the end ,

this was a symbolic gesture to send a message we were coming - and hell was coming with us , we delivered later but im certain it planted the intended seed , sadly it was basically a suicide mission , they actually succeeded beyond expectations , we did rain hell on japan after that even tho it took a year and a half and the heavy losses of the islands campaign , tokyo paid a heavy price as did a lot of other targets in the next months , let alone Nagasaki and Hiroshima , but this raid made it clear we were coming ,

there are always those that deny what is being done or has been done - much of it in the name of god these days - its never going to end and we , the few , that try to remind will always be shouted down by those that are supposedly well educated but actually are lost and looking for a cause without regard to what it really means , "...Not just revisionism, but denial. ..." that is the truely sad part of all this - then and now , our campuses are currently infested with maggots' , some imported and some lost souls led astray but that will result in more of the same in the future , in some ways i wish we had the intollerance of germany yet i know that our freedoms rest in their freedom to be the idiots they are ,

could be but a lot of stuff was common once that we no longer think common ,

the islands campaign was a brutal episode in history , i cant think of a single one that was easy to talker or without great cost , im glad there are those of us that still remember that cost , nothing in that war was easy , but a good many things came from it that made our lives better , sad so many of the generations that follow ours wont think as we do or remember , my father landed on saipan shortly after it was taken and the airfields were constructed , he talked extensively over my childhood of the costs to the marines to accomplish that , i was taught to respect every effort of every vet , but mostly learned of the pacific as a child
