No, not Verizon. We had service again quicker than they thought.

Meanwhile, how are you doing Ray ?

Do you have service from Verizon? I heard they had some outages.

We were without phone or internet service for a while today ; I suppose the strong winds blew something down over the lines. Getting ready for a blast of freezing weather.

Can't do much better than THAT !

And smoother than soft serve ice cream.

Wow, Randy is sharper than a mashed potato today.

Good evening, Yard.

We ALL know that Randy !

Oh I’m just full of it Tom.

Got my Pierce +2 grip extenders in and installed on my mags today. So now I have four 12 round magazines instead of three 10 rounders and one 12.
Now all I gotta do (OK, want to do) is replace a couple 3 springs and polish up about 3 places on the whole trigger bar assembly. Mine are really “gritty”. Plus it gives me easy gunsmithing abilities and something to occupy my time (and yes Ray and Tom, BESIDES counting my money)

Such wisdom !

Good morning Yard.

Better to be pooped out than pooped on. Hee hee

Same for the General.

I was cutting up some downed tree limbs and vines today and I'm POOPED.

Now THAT sounds tasty to me. But Patty will not eat peppers.

Your recipe looks tasty and pasta should never be rinsed. I make something similar with a sauce consisting of plum tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, fresh garlic , hot Calabrian peppers and ground beef.

Top O’the mornin to ya me laddies.

Good morning, Yard.

That DOES sound tasty.

Just ate a new (to us) pasta dish and it is my new all time favorite.

1 box (16oz) spaghetti noodles (we like the thin ones, but NOT angel hair)
1 can ROTEL
1 lb ground beef
2 cans (small ones) or 1 large can mushrooms
2-4 Tbl spoon dried miced garlic
1 stick butter (BUTTER)

Cook the spaghetti until done the way you like it. Drain them, but DO NOT rinse them.
Cook the ground beef
Sauté the mushrooms and garlic in the butter. Until the mushrooms are hot.

Mix the ROTEL, ground beef, and the mushrooms/garlic and butter all together and mix well.

Eat up and enjoy.

Haha, MAYBE. I AM thinking about a Mossberg Shockwave and doing a Form one in it for a real stock. I MIGHT even form 1 my Scorpion and MP5 clone for folding stocks instead of braces. We’ll see.

Hi Ray, good to hear from you again. I'm not concerned about the tax stamp myself but I am glad that it's available for other folks. Randy should be happy.

Any of y’all put in for your free tax stamps? I read that the ATF processed about 150,000 on Jan 1.

CHIRP! CHIRP!

Good morning, Yard.

I think I hear crickets chirping.
