Well Dogs, 2020 is here and the Yard is back in all it's glory. So in celebration of these two historic events, here is the NEW YARD Up and running Death Chat.

Let the debauchery begin! (Well CHILD friendly debauchery). wink

Well it looks as if all is well in the Yard, EXCEPT for the Tutorials thread. It isn't working, and it probably isn't all that big a deal but it was nice having it.

Is it just me or is there something different about the New and Improved Yard? I've noticed a couple of minor things, that are nice.

1 Is that when you are on one thread up at the top there is a previous and a next thread "Side".
2. Everything just seems a tad "Clearer".

Oh and after you scroll down from the first post there is an up arrow inside a highlighted circle in the lower right corner of your screen. Click that and it jumps you automatically back to the top of the screen.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/13/20 09:58 PM

Cold and rain again today. I started work on a fowling piece for next year’s turkey season. All I have right now is a jug-choked 20 gauge barrel and a rough sawn maple plank. I will work on inletting the barrel while waiting for the flint lock and other parts to arrive.

Randy, if you watch Forged In Fire, Liam Hoffman won in 2016 at the ripe old age of 21. His shop is less than an hour from me. He has lots of videos on YouTube and Facebook if you’re interested.

There are so many things wrong with your statement that I don’t where to begin. First of all, anything would taste good after a big bowl of Possum Surprise. Second, coffee is a stimulant not a relaxant. Third, educating you about coffee is teaching the unteachable about knowing the unknownable.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/15/20 03:54 PM

Ray, IF you like Cauliflower, broccoli, onions, cheddar cheese Bacon and Mayonnaise you will like Possum Surprise. Yes, Coffee IS a stimulant, it is also a Diuretic. Absorbing the knowledge is actually quite easy. It's retaining the information that is difficult. grin

Would it sooth your nerves if I was to buy a French Press? cool

Only if you didn’t use Folger’s in it.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/16/20 05:52 PM

All kidding aside about coffee brands, the grind of Folger’s et al is likely to be too fine for a French press. This could cause the coffee to be harsh and bitter. Of course you Marine and Navy people are used to this and probably like it this way. And the Air Force people probably go to the Starbucks on their base anyway.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/16/20 08:53 PM

You're probably correct Ray. LOL smile

Doesn't everybody? Oh and Outback Steakhouse as well. Of course for those who like the slums, they can go to Krispy Kreme or Ponderosa steakhouse. grin

As Ray said, All kidding aside, I actually wanted to try a French Press for Many many years, just never got around to it. And now that Patty bought me the Keurig I really like it. Right now I am drinking Camerons Jamacian Blue Mountain. I may try the Kona next time I'm at Schnuck's.

I DO have one of those refillable pods so I guess I could try something else. Any suggestions Ray? (and Be gentle) smile

If you can’t find any kopi luwa, coffee beans from Sam’s club are not bad. Walmart sometimes sell them.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/17/20 02:47 AM

Haha, I JUST KNEW that was the coffee you were talking about before I even looked it up. I guess I would try it once. IF I could afford it.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/17/20 02:49 AM

Walmart has beans that you can grind right there in the store. I've seen them. Hmmm Wonder which one I should try. I mean Hey, a dollar a pound for coffee is rather expensive.
Posted By: Ray Settanta

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/17/20 05:14 AM

I just read a NY Times article that said that the coffee in K cups costs about $50 a pound. I did not realize that you were that well off, Randy.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/17/20 05:36 AM

Not really that well off, but I Personally draw:
Air Force Pension check
VA Disability Check
CERF (County Employees Retirement Fund)
LAGERS (Local Area Government Employees Retirement Service, or maybe System)
SS (Social Security Retirement)

Patty draws a Disability for NUMEROUS health problems to include stage 3 Renal (Kidney Failure) and DVT in 3 veins in one leg that will never have blood flowing through them again, one clot is 24 inches long, and 2 different inch clots. She also suffers from her throat swelling shut for no reason the allergists can find.

So PLEASE everyone, continue to pay your taxes! grin

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/17/20 05:37 AM

Oh and I can get 100 count K-cups of Folgers at Sams for 32 dollars and I can get 96 Decaf for about the same (I drink one decaf a night after about 8pm. Doesn't disturb my sleep that way.

Hey Ray, found some Kona Coffee K-pods today at T J Max. Can't wait to try it. Drinking a cup of vanilla flavored coffee right now. I'll have a nice cup of Decaf tonight around 9pm or so.

Well, my best day ever. According to my fit Bit I have only missed two days walking on our tread mill this so far this month. AND I have had my best "Walk" ever. Now it may not be to good for a lot of you guys, but for me, an old, out of shape (Not quite as) fat guy, pretty good I think.
I did 1.707 miles in 30.01 minutes with an average of 4.5 degree incline. My average speed will fall somewhere between 3 and 3.5 mph. I'm pretty proud of myself.

Now my Back is a different story. Got a callback from the VA today about my Back and Knees MRI. Knees not so good, with both having problems, left one I think she said is worse.

My Back she said has moderate to severe problems with L4&5 and maybe L6 and also S1. Not sure what those are other than bones in my lower back so I am gonna look them up. They are gonna mail me the results and schedule me to see an Orthopedic Surgeon. I requested the one that did my back surgery in 2017. Several folks have spoken highly of him so I reckon he's OK. Not sure I really want to drive 150 miles to St. Louis when I can get it done here, UNLESS they say I need to go to St. Louis. We will see.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/21/20 12:03 AM

It's a nice visit, but you will probably be disappointed. I mean when we went there it was surrounded by all kinds of stores selling all sorts of ALAMO trinkets. I couldn't get over (I was a kid) the contrast between the Alamo and all the modern stores just across the street.
Posted By: Private Klink

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/21/20 04:35 AM

It's really sad the way that Texas let the Alamo be encroached upon. It should be treated as the treasure that it is. I have spent considerable time on the computer checking it out, and I really want to see it.

I need to get a new kneecap before I retire. Or right as I retire. Recoup in retirement.

The first knee surgery my wife had wasn't too bad. She had the microsurgery on the second and She said it hurt a lot more. I believe her.
Posted By: Private Klink

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/24/20 06:41 AM

I'm surprised that the microsurgery was more painful than the regular surgery.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/24/20 06:47 AM

They have to yank on the muscle and pull it out of the way a lot more than just cutting it. She has a high pain tolerance and that surgery was the most I have ever seen her react to pain. She was a trooper through the shoulder replacement and her first knee replacement. But there were a lot of tears on the micro knee surgery. I felt super bad for her. There was nothing I could do to help her except keep bringing ice to reduce the swelling and numb it down.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/24/20 11:41 AM

That's about the way I felt when the General was getting cortisone shots near her tail-bone when she popped a couple of discs in her back. She can be tough, but that almost made ME cry with pain.

This one works, you just have to copy it and paste it to your address line or browser search box. The first one is an outdated version.

https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=8AB1D004A1332B038BE98F1D89289DB75301E267&thid=OIP.PW-T-tzd-p5lgVFnzNM_bwHaBM&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zombietools.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F08%2Fzakasushi-tsuba-catalog.png&exph=166&expw=1033&q=zombie+tools+zakasushi&selectedindex=1&qpvt=zombie+tools+zakasushi&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=0,1,2,3,4,6,8,10

A I have said before, I would rather have a conventional looking Japanese sword to display along with the Tanto. But Patty brought up several points I had not considered so the Zombie Tools Zakasushi would be better. AND I do really like it. The best part is it is no more expensive than the others I had thought about getting.

Well we survived what could have been a VERY severe storm or two. Tornado sirens went off twice, but thankfully only funnel clouds. Nothing touched (as far as we know) the ground. BUT we got slightly larger than pea size hail and in 25 years here I have never seen it flood so quickly. It rained HARD.

Hopefully Gary is safe and sound as well as the storm(s) looked like they might have hit him as well.

When my family went to Alabama every summer to visit family, I used to go frog gigging with my cousins. Nobody considered frog’s legs to be for poor folks. Everybody grabbed a big hunk of cornbread and a plate of legs and chowed down. Maybe we were considered to be high society because we used tartare sauce on the legs (and had indoor plumbing).

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/06/20 04:44 AM

That was of course a joke about the frogs legs. BUT I have heard that many many years ago, like in the 1800s, Lobster was considered food fit only for REAL poor folk or slaves.

Oh joy of joys. I will be getting my first Social Security check in about 2 weeks and already got the approval from "Da Boss" to buy something. Well today I did. Our Phone went Tango Uniform (We don't have a land line any more) so you all know what that meant. Luckily I had just backed up the phone about two days ago. Had an iPhone 6s so I guess it was really ready for an upgrade. It was starting to have some problems and the battery was only operating up to about 80 percent. Well as you have probably figured out by now, my "approval" didn't go for toys, but for something that we actually needed. Oh well, IF I live long enough there are more months to come, but we really need a new Fridge... frown

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/08/20 08:10 PM

Well, looks like time for dreaming is over. After the debacle with the phone, the boss and I have been thinking. I bought our Frig brand new in July of 1994. It has served us well, but the light inside no longer works (wires attached to the light socket are broken), It is making a funny kind of a ticking sound and sounds rough when the compressor kicks in. SO we have talked and realized it's time for a new one before we wind up having to throw away a lot of food.

We've checked out Lowe's and Home Depot. Looks like Lowe's may have the better prices on units over 21.5cuft. But Home Depot has the better prices up to and including 21.3cuft. Guess we will be looking at both places. But there is an LG that I really like but It will probably be to large for just the two of us. It's 23.8 cubes where as Lowes has a 21.9 for about 400 dollars less. we'll see What Patty thinks.

Even for him, I was shocked when he did that (threaten the judges).

I'm trying to avoid becoming too political, but liberals are such hypocrites! If a conservative said the same thing to liberal judges, the libs would be calling for the conservative to be removed from Congress!

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/08/20 11:50 PM

Below is a post I made in the Busse forum about 2 years ago - it talks about my experience with a 1311. Please do not take this post as being critical of the 1311 - I'm not, I just tried using it for too big of a job. eek

----------------------------------------------

I learned the hard way how dense the wood is makes a huge difference in how well any knife chops. A few months ago I decided to try my unused 1311 on a downed tree at the back of my property. A chain link fence separates my yard from the neighbor's, and this tree had crushed the tubular steel frame of the fence and collapsed the fence. Prior to choosing the 1311, I had not taken a close look at the tree, but I was guessing it was maybe 5-6" in diameter; well, when I walked back there with the knife, I saw the tree was more like 8" or so in diameter. I decided to try the 1311 anyhow, and after many full power swings at the tree, I realized the wood was much harder than expected, and I was only about 1/3 of the way thru the tree and my arm was exhausted. Fortunately I had a full size axe also, and eventually finished the tree with the axe (it was still a lot of work even with the axe).

As I was swinging the knife, I kept wishing it was a thicker (like at least .25" or even more), heavier blade – it would have helped with the very hard wood. While it is true that edge geometry is important, so is weight for chopping (not only how much weight, but how far it is from your hand(s) like in the case of the full size axe). I'm sure the 1311 is fine with softer and/or smaller diameter wood, but it was no match for this tree. Next time, I will start with something heavier, or better yet rent or buy a chain saw! grin

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/09/20 01:01 AM

The 1311 is a great knife, but it is not an axe or chainsaw. Use the right tool for the right job. wink

Spring starts in the US a little earlier than usual this year, on Thursday 3/19 (the first time since 1896), so here's an early "Happy Spring"! It's one of my favorite times of the year! smile

Well Tom, I saw where the Swamp is bringing out a new and improved Warden. .350 inch thick and a 2.75 inch blade. I think I'll pass as I already have two of the "Regular" versions. One a Skelly and the other with Bill Piatt Slabs.

I saw that the Feds are wanting to send a check to every American to stimulate the economy. While I'm not a fan of redistributing my cash, unless they skip the check and cut my taxes. But if they do send a check I'm spending mine on Ammo and gun parts. Seem's like a wiser investment these days.

Good morning Yard. I ran to the store yesterday in one of the little nearby (19 miles) towns; I was sure surprised to see so many shelves practically bare! Panic buying has even hit the rural areas I guess, which surprises me considering the crazy weather we get around here. Fortunately I keep a good supply of items here so we are not really hurting for anything. I hope everyone stays safe and healthy! smile

How is everyone holding up through this whole mess.

We are doing pretty well. Getting a lot of chores done and some of the projects that I had set aside, some years ago.

The kid is bored out of her mind but is getting an education in adulting. We are taking care of all the shopping and med runs for 3 of our elderly relatives. It's not been too bad so far.

Work is interesting as always. People are just losing their minds in different ways and are a lot more panicky. My wife and I are both in jobs where we are very likely to catch this current crud.

We made a quick trip to Walmart yesterday and I couldn't believe how thin the food shelves are!

There is great hope for that hydroxychloroquine for treating the virus!

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/25/20 04:24 AM

Early on Tues. 3/24 the Walmart in SW Ohio I go to was nearly wiped out of packaged meat and cheese, and toilet paper/paper towels – the entire sections were virtually empty! Many items are being rationed – I tried to buy 2 packages of canned chicken at Costco, not knowing the limit was one!

Regarding price gouging, stiff prison sentences would take care of that problem - they're no better than thieves in my opinion!

As with cold & flu viruses, hoping to prevent a serious infection, I'm taking lots of vitamin C, along with some extra vitamin D & a little extra zinc. Take care!

And NO we don't go to bars so maybe we will be a tad safer. We haven't gone out to eat any where lately either. BUT I have to go see the Neuro Surgeon about my back tomorrow.

Had the Neuro Surgeon appt today and the town of almost 40K had a VERY reduced traffic flow. I mean at one time on a fairly busy road there wasn't another car in sight for almost a minute. And I could see for about 5 blocks!

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/27/20 10:39 PM

Oh the Doc said he would NOT recommend anything now with all this stuff going on. He then went on to say that they will have to replace one disc with a plastic spacer. And lower down where the bones are grinding together and the hole for the nerves are almost non existent, they would put in a Titanium spacer that is like a scissor jack, put it in and then expand it to the height they need and then put in the screws and rods to stabilize it. He said both surgeries would only need a cut about 3 inches long and are considered relatively non invasive. He then said that he would recommend that I hold of as long as I can handle the "Ache/pain" and that to just let them know when I want it done. I kinda like this Dr. He is the one that did the ruptured disc surgery on me back in April of '17.

On another note, I was looking through book lists through amazon unlimited and came across an interesting title.

It is called The Annihilation Virus. It is almost as if someone wrote about this present "Situation" and published it back in December. It doesn't involve China as the aggressor, but another certain "Enemy" of the U.S. in the Middle East developed this UNcureable, NO vaccine virus based on Rabies. It's kinda scary.

I spent about 5 hours last Monday thinning out woods on the 8 acre lot I bought last year. I basically cleared out around my pond and made about half of a weird atv trail. I don't even have a atv though. lol... So I got done with five hours of back breaking work and go grab my chain saw and do about 40-45 minutes with that. I finally decide I was done for the day. I'm standing looking at my handy work and step forward to go back to my truck. As soon as I stepped forward my back crapped out on me. I mean 0 to 50 it just starts hurting with no warning.

So I didn't really move much until Friday. But I was right back out there Saturday doing a little light work with the chain saw. I over slept today but if it doesn't rain tomorrow I guess I'll go try to screw my back up again in the morning

My wife tried it one year and got 3 tiny potatoes. I'm going to try and see if I can do a bit better. I looked up a few tutorials and it seems easy enough. Drain holes and mix the right soil and water. I can probably do that.

I am going to try and up our container garden this year. I'm going to try and use my deck railings for Tomatoes and use the raised bed for squash and zucchini etc. I will see how it goes. My green thumb is a really light green. I just want to see what I can do in containers. I don't want to rebuild the garden bed when I'm planning on moving in a year or so. Same with Chickens.

I dropped by the hardware store last Friday and they had nothing for seeds or plants out. The stuff we have is from the produce we already have. I'm going to try and seed out some English cucumbers for the heck of it. Maybe some green /red peppers.

Good Morning Dawgs.
OK, got our Stimulus checks yesterday. GREAT! But at the same time I don't know why we got them. Neither Patty or I work anymore. Patty and I both draw Social Security and I have Retirements from the Air force, VA, and from the County. WE DO NOT WORK. I thought the checks were for folks that depended on a WORKING paycheck during all this. Personally I don't think that we should have gotten checks, nor anyone that doesn't have to work for a living. That's just me and yes I know my way of thinking on some things are different. That's just the way it works for me though.

In a 10 inch Cast Iron Skillet I put two GOOD teaspoons full of bacon grease. Opened up a can of yellow Hominy and dumped into the skillet liquid and all. Salted and Peppered it and fried it up until it thickened up the way I wanted. Man was it tasty. Try it, you'll like it. grin

I have a little used 32" Toshiba I bought a few years ago for $50 and it's about as dumb a TV was ever made. It has a nice screen but the sound sucks. It worked fine for a computer monitor, which is mainly how I used it. But it is very much lacking when it comes to visual entertainment.

With all the problems facing the farmers and ranchers, having to dump milk, slaughter livestock, etc. it seems that food items should be plentiful and stores well stocked. The government should buy any excess and use it for foreign aid after making sure America's food pantries are full. To deliberately destroy food is a waste bordering on criminal! frown

Tom, I agree with you. Did you know that at restaurants if they have any cooked food left at the end of the day they have to throw it out. Not even allowed for the owners or employees to take any of it home with them! Now THAT's wasteful. Thousands of homeless or impoverished people could be fed, well, on the food the government MAKES places throw away.

Many years ago one of my cousins worked at a KFC, who didn't pay well. The late crew always made sure there was chicken left at the end of the shift to offset the poor pay. For restaurants to throw away food instead of giving leftovers to needy folks is just crazy.

Well You and I both know that IF allowed, the workers do take home some of the left over food. I applaud the businesses that allow their employees to do this. Oh and did you know, at least in Missouri, IF the employees are allowed a free meal that the state demands that be included in the "pay package" and the cost of the meals are considered INCOME and is taxable!

3/4 inch thick pork steaks. Quartered small red taters. Chopped onions (green ones as well), Shrooms along with red, green and red bell peppers, sliced. Oh yeah and sliced carrots and Butter. Gotta have butter. Wrap everything up in HEAVY tinfoil and throw it on the grill for about 45 minutes at around 350-400. Open and enjoy! grin

That reminds me of when my son was in Weblos, just before progressing to the Boy Scouts. The Scout troop invited the "newbies" and their dads on a campout, and were told to bring our own food to cook. While the leaders were making "rock soup" and others were cooking hot dogs, we had a big steak with potatoes sliced up along with green and red peppers and carrots and celery wrapped up in foil. We cooked it in the coals, turning frequently. It was great, but I felt a little embarrassed eating so well when the others just had what they brought. One of the other dads said that the next time he was going to bring lobster! smile

Watched a movie on Prime Video last night called "Boondoggle Saints". Was rated either 4 or 4.5 stars out of 5. About two Irish Boys basically wipe out "The Underworld" leaders in Boston. Stars Sean Patrick Flannery and William Defoe. Actually not all that bad a movie considering.

OK, I messed up. It's BOONDOCK SAINTS (1999, which explains Daryl's younger age). AND just found out there is a Boondock Saints II that came out in 2009.

That way you won't have to always be choosing which one to use, thereby leading to more confusion, making for MORE frustration which would make the General have to bake you a blackberry cobbler just to calm you down. And with all that stress every day you would soon run out of Blackberries. grin Problem solved. wink

You can’t blame only Rednecks for this behavior, Randy. I have seen video clips from around the country showing the same thing. Right in my neighborhood, one person on my street had a party last weekend with one of those giant, inflatable structures for kids. A bunch of kids were playing on it and a crowd of adults were in the yard watching them. Right across the street from me, a bunch of adults were having a cookout in the backyard. My nephew’s fiancé went to a party and hugged all of her friends there and said that the epidemic was over. I hope these people are right because if they are not.............!

Yeah I know it's NOT just Rednecks, but because we all here make fun of us Rednecks I thought I would just put that in there for you. grin

I was just saying to Patty that individually folks are kinda on the self preservation side of things. BUT when you get them in a crowd, it's Monkey See, Monkey Do, no matter WHERE they are from and also it doesn't matter what their education level is. Crowd mentality. It covers every living person on the earth, or at least it can if we choose to participate.

We have a real pretty day on tap, so I will be working on a few projects getting ready for our visitors in a few weeks. My daughter, SIL, and their three kids are coming for a two week visit, similar to what they did back in 2013. That's when we had our "Camp Hunger Games" fun, along with their first ever trip to an outdoor drive-in theater. I'm making a new target stand with PVC pipe (1 1/2") for the archery and rifle practice.

The Army utilizes many types of helicopters including the Apache and the Blackhawk. Also some fixed wing aircraft for transportation and other missions. This will satisfy all my requirements. After all, I won’t be calling in a B-52 to carpet bomb my position. My neighbors would object.

Well, the cannon is going to have to wait. I may be retiring sooner than I planned. The state is pushing forward some very anti-LE law and trying to ram it through fast. If it passes in it's current form I will drop my gear the minute it's signed. I won't do the job under those limitations.

This goes against my norm. I wanted to give them a couple more years and at least a 2weeks notice. But they are making it take effect as soon as it's signed. I can't do that. I have to much integrity to work under those conditions.

I know what you Mean Brother. BUT you got to look out for you and yours, no one else is going to. How long before your wife could retire? And could she get her Post certification moved to oh say another state?

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 06/05/20 08:52 PM

She needs another year and a half. The problem is she needs 20 years for benefits here. POST can sort of transfer/waiver but she wants to retire retire. I'm not staying in this profession if I can help it. It's going to be hard. I love it and keep getting offers to work elsewhere. When I leave I need to leave it for good and do something else.

I just had a few projects I wanted to complete and some people I wanted to help develop to take my place and promote before I left. My next 2 years were planned.

Well like I said before, MAYBE you could get into Admin (Yeah I know, a dirty word for a street cop) or Training, firearms training to hold you over the next two years and that would be a workable solution for you. I DO know how you feel. My last few years in the Air Force sucked. I actually tried to get out at the 19 year mark (when early outs were allowed in my carrier field) but they wouldn't let me, so I suffered for another year but man was it difficult keeping quiet.

I'm too high of a rank to do anything but promote further. If this passes as written I will try to find a nice job in the normal world. I was looking forward to that anyway. Just not so soon and I like finishing stuff.

It's just that the thought of leaving something I have spent more than half my life doing is disconcerting.

Life will go on.

I know what you are saying. I could have stayed longer in the Military if it hadn't gotten so political. That is why I didn't try go gain any rank. I was tired of all the BS and all the know it alls higher up KNOWING how things needed to be ran (yeah right). No bragging, just stating a fact. That is why I was always getting called into work to handle a problem when a certain Major was on duty. Oh did I say I was only an E6 and he was an O4?

I am resting up today and the next couple of days. I planted about 15 tomato and pepper plants, a cantaloupe and a watermelon in our new raised bed structure. Not a lot but I did it all by myself! I am not physically able to have a large garden as I did in the past. But since I am the only one who eats tomatoes 10 plants should be enough. I have a mix of Early Girls, beefsteaks, cherry and a purple variety.

Ray, limiting your garden is a good idea, and we have done the same. Most of our plants are in the tubs directly behind our deck, with sweet potatoes and green beans in our old 30 x 75' garden area. It gets tougher to deal with a large garden with each passing year, and what we planted will supply us with what we want and need.

I planted a decent container garden this year. Unfortunately, we got a late freeze. I only planted 4 tomatoes plants but they didn't do well and 2/3rd of my pepper plants are pretty rough. The wife's dog took care of anything living in the raised beds so no watermelon and very few cucumbers if they survive.

LOL, the challenges of gardening I guess. It will be a learning experience for sure.

I think I will have enough zucchini, squash and egg plant to make our neighbors sick of getting them. The cauliflower seems to be doing well also. I'm still trying to save the maters but I may be losing that battle. I will have a healthy amount of potatoes though.

Our growing season is pretty short about 80 days. Gardening at 7,000 feet is tricky. Lettuce and radishes are about the only easy crop. Usually, tomatoes are easy just not this year.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 06/07/20 06:13 PM

Looking at them today, I might have saved 2 of the tomato plants. I'm taking care of the others but It may be a losing battle. I have a couple of Pepper plants sprouted and one growing well. I'm not sure if they will have time to fruit and mature though.

I also carry 5 pound "Barbells" when I am walking and I do arm curls and full arm lifts with them in my hands. Don't sound hard, but do it for about 20 minutes at a time at about a 3.2 to 3.5 mph pace. It gets TIREING!

Hopefully an easy question. I'm still debating on picking up a ratweiler. They put the mega Warden back up on the site and I want to buy one. They charge $15 for shipping. If I order two knives together is it still just $15 or is it per knife? Not a big deal but since I missed the introductory prices it would be nice to save a few bucks

The deli and prepared food self-service counters have been shut down. Luckily the restaurants will deliver so I will occasionally make dinner with a phone call and a credit card. My wife doesn’t like most of the Asian food I prepare. (Her idea of Chinese food is boneless pork, chicken fingers and crab Rangoon). That is the only Chinese food that she eats. I wish my area had authentic Asian restaurants but all serve Americanized food. I think that most dishes served in our Chinese restaurants are not seen in China.

Just been doing some light reading of Missouri Statutes and Interpretations of them. Evidently it is illegal to carry ANY knife (folder) concealed with a blade of over 4 inches. And it would appear as if a fixed blade of ANY KIND is illegal if it is concealed.

Yesterday my son in law and kids cleared out an area of thorns and small trees that have been a real PIA while mowing the yard. They worked their butts off in the heat, so after a shower and cool down I took them all out for a barbeque dinner; got the General out of cooking as well. It was one of the most enjoyable dinners out that we have had for quite a while. Talking and laughing during the dinner really made me smile! smile

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 06/28/20 10:31 PM

Good evening Dawgs. Hope everyone is feeling well. As for myself I'm feeling pretty good actually. Just got off the treadmill a few minutes ago and did a mile in 19 minutes. Yeah I know, I'm not the flash but I feel pretty good about it. I had it alternated it between 3.5 and 4.0 degree incline and 3.2 to 3.3 mph. I also had on my Pigmy Falcon II GHB on again (minus the water bottles) but it still weighed 19 pounds. The water will add another 5 pounds to that. I'll try it that way next time.

For not feeling to hot the last 3 days or so I am surprised that I lasted that long. Guess It was because I was trying out my new wireless headphones paired up with my iPhone, and played a selection of music by Queen while I was walking. Boy music sure does make it pass by quicker and easier. I think I'll listen to music all the time from now on.

So far I have Queen's greatest collection I, II and III and also Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon albums. I think that I will just start adding some singles unless I find an album by someone that I really like. MY problem is I can't remember the names of most of the songs I like and I for sure don't know the artists who played them. Oh well I guess I will just learn as I go and pick and choose what I like.

Oh Sorry, and Thank You guys. It may not sound like all that much to a lot of folks, but it is an accomplishment to me. Now I gotta start using the surgical tubing bands I was given for my arms. Man they're rough! Guess I should unsnap one from the handles and just start with one at first. I don't want to get like a body builder or anything, but I would like to be able to do some things without getting all tuckered out after just a minute or two. At leas I've started doing something.

And when my backs not killing me, or my legs don't feel like 500 pounds of lead, I enjoy it.

Evening Dogs!

Just got back from Idaho, Unfortunately, I did not find the plot of land I was hoping for. Nearly everyone had restrictive covenants or plain bizarre covenants that I could not abide by. It was very interesting. One had every building must be approved by an architectural committee. But they refused to supply guidelines for what could be built. Not a wasted trip since I did hang out in Yellowstone yet again. Saw every type of apex predator they have except one.

Evening!

Skunk the runt is 50/50. On one hand she really likes the area where we are planning on moving and really wants some gats and chickens. But she is pretty bummed she is going to be leaving friends some she has known since she was 4.

I suspect it will be typical teenage drama right before and after the move and then pure joy once we are settled in. There is a ton of stuff to do there.

We are planning on moving to Idaho. Southeastern side is leading the pack. The biggest detractor right now is I can buy a lot of land in the midwest and a house cheaper than a couple of acres in the west, But no heat, humidity, ticks, chiggers and a lack of poisonous snakes along with a ton of national forest is kinda nice.

I at least enjoy wating Apex predators from a distance. Snakes not so much. And Chiggers and ticks are straight from Satan's neck of the woods. LOL, I do miss the hardwoods though.

One time when I was stationed in Idaho we went fishing at C.J. Strike. I caught 88 stripped perch. Filleted out every one of the little devils. But they were good eating though. And I can't tell you how many trout I caught (Not at CJ though). Barbless hook. It was fun and when you were able to actually land one, a 12-15 inch trout cooked up real nice. grin

You should look for Hight Plains South West of Boise. Looks like not much out there so land might be fairly cheap (IF it's not all BLM land) I know most of the hunting I did out there was on BLM property. Of course that was in '81 and '82. Some things MIGHT have changed since then. But you know those hillbillies. wink

I love to Kayak. One of my favorite places in the world to Kayak is 2 hours away from where I'm looking.

I went to look at the area last year. The Boise area isn't my thing. It reminds me too much of Denver. I can't stand the Denver area. I could never live in Denver. It skeeves me out. I'm looking for smaller towns and even then outside of town.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/05/20 08:12 PM

There are a lot of smaller town in the S.E. Good on you for not wanting to be a townie. Getting a well put down (something I highly recommend) of your own might be a large expense, but could really prove worth it. I would also recommend an alternate power source. If I remember Idaho has a lot of sunshine and wind might also be a consideration. Also if you are near enough, or ON a good stream or small river you could harness it for your own hydroelectric source. This assumes of course that you have as much money as Tom and Ray. That way you could build a REAL NICE compound complete with your own armory and range and all kinds of other goodies.

Gun laws in Idaho regulate the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition in the state of Idaho in the United States. Idaho is a "shall issue" state for concealed carry. The local county sheriff shall issue a concealed weapons license to a qualified applicant within 90 days.

Here ya go.

The last couple years before I retired it got rougher to go back each time I went on vacation. I WAS gonna stay until the election this year but I just got so burned out I couldn't take it any more. I ALMOST upped my retirement to DEC 31 2019 but then decided I wanted to complete a Full 25 years there. Now Patty and I set back and enjoy our half dozen paychecks, So PLEASE everyone, keep paying your taxes grin

LOL, I had originally planned on doing 29 years here. But the state changed enough to kill that. I'm over 25 now. I'm just holding out until my wife hits her 20 year mark and we are out. I'm already selling bigger stuff. Sold my motorcycle last month and we are thinking hard about selling our camper this month.

I only plan on moving irreplaceable items, sporting goods, ATV's and items with sentimental value. I don't plan on moving beds, furniture or TV's when we go. It will still take a couple of trips with a healthy cargo trailer.

You know, a camper with it's own generator and sewer hookup would make a real handy alternate incase the power or some other disaster happened to your new place. Besides, you could put the runt in the and you and your wife would have the whole house to yourselves! Keep all the doors locked, the shades pulled and DO NOT give the runt a key! grin

LOL, I want to buy a 24 to 28 (ish) foot enclosed trailer with an 8 foot ceiling and convert it to a camper/ toy hauler. I figure an AC/ propane heat with a couple of folding beds and an awning and we can sleep, cook and relax and carry a side by side or two. At least that's my thoughts for the moment.

As far as moving? I will be retired I won't be in a rush. It's only a 10-12 hour drive. I will get a storage unit and take most of the stuff up on one trip and then take the second when we find a place to live.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/05/20 08:48 PM

It all sounds good in my head anyway. We will see how it really turns out. For a few grand more than paying movers, I can get the trailer and do it myself. I already have the diesel truck to haul it with. Then it saves me cash on the base for the toy hauler conversion.

Seeings where you are moving to, have you thought about a swamp cooler instead of an A/C unit? Yeah I know A/C is nicer, but we had a swamp cooler in Idaho AND one in Texas as well. Not the best option in the world, but boy was the electric bills a lot less.

Ours were in a house. Never heard of one before I got to Idaho. Neighbor next door gave us an old one that I had to refit the mechanicals and the hoses. FINALLY got it working correctly and it did a passable job, but it was of course quite humid. But in the dry heat it wasn't really all that bad. We eventually got an A/C when we could afford one. It was quite a bit nicer.

You know I've been thinking about this retirement stuff and you needing to stay there a couple more years before your wife can retire. You could always hire yourself out as a rent a cop at a hospital or something. POSSIBLY easy work but at the same POSSIBLY quite boring. But it's a thought.

I'm definitely getting crispy. 28 years on the job is a little while in my line of work. My wife is ok with me pulling the plug tomorrow. I want to be in a better financial spot though. 6 to 18 months is the difference bewteen having to work and working because I want to after I retire from here.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/05/20 09:53 PM

In my adult work life I was VERY fortunate, and it all started with partying to much in college.

I partied to much and flunked out in my 2nd year. At that time I had been in the Air Force ROTC program for a whole year. I told my parents what had happened and also told then I was thinking about joining the Air Force. Dad asked me if I had REALLY thought about it and I told him I had.

A week later I went to the Recruiters and said I DO. grin Finally 20 years later I retired at the rank of E6 (Refused to gain another rank as I was burned out with all the BS/politics). I actually tried to get out at 19 years and they wouldn't let me.

I OFFICALLY retired from the AF March 1 1994 after 20 years, 1 month and 16 days and was honorably discharged with 50% of my base pay.

I actually started working for the Sheriff's Office in January of 1994 (I was on terminal leave from the Military) and I finally retired from there after 25 years and 1 month.

I now draw more than one retirement check, a small disability check from the VA and now just this year my Social Security. I held off drawing my SS until age 66 (Full retirement for me, so I wouldn't be penalized 200 dollars a month by retiring a year early). I have been fortunate in what I did work wise my adult life. SO in a nutshell, since I graduated from High School I have only had two jobs. MY Golden years so far, haven't been all that bad. AND being married to a good woman just makes it all worth it. Oh and NOT having any bills.

I have tried to put enough thought and action into my retirement plan. I m leaving earlier than I originally wanted to but it is for my own welfare. So I can deal with it. I'm hoping to have an enjoyable retirement. Watching the kiddo's last few years of school, traveling, big garden, and lots of fishing, hiking, and hitting the trails. I will probably work somewhere to keep from getting too bored and vacation/toy money. But I don't think I'll do anything serious again.

It can be quite enjoyable. I kinda laughed when you mentioned it. When I had 17 years in I got a plaque from the county congratulating me on my 15 years of service. PLUS they spelled my last name wrong. They used had two N's on the end instead of just one. I talked about it but they never made another one. And when I retired after 25 years all I got was a teary eyed good bye from the newest dispatcher there. Nice married gal that used to work for MODOT.

Well for practice you can make me a 50 inch long spiral walking staff with a picture of a Skunk engraved on it. I would like some kind of good tough but not Heavy exotic wood that I can brag about. I'll pay as much as $15.00, well maybe 20 if it's a really nice piece of wood. Oh and It has to have a 1 inch end so I can use common rubber tips for it.

I guess I am kinda foolish/childish about some things. I once looked for 12 years for a Pizza Noid plush Ok, doll. I finally found one with the tag still on it for $20 bucks. I think it was, maybe 15. Anyway I bought it and it now just lays in a drawer with some towels.

Skunk if you want a decent affordable emergency filter as a backup te life straws are great and popular online everything business usually has them on sale around black Friday for about 10-11 bucks.

I have a Katydn but I have never used it. It has set in a pack for probably 7 years.

The lifestraws are pretty good but you need a lot of suction to get them working the first time.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/06/20 07:36 PM

MB, I do have a couple of the pioneer survival straws for Patty and I for emergency use as they only work for a smaller amount of water. I am talking about something to use if you can only get water from a natural source or that the municipal water supply if it is still working has been compromised in some way (as in a boil water alert). In other words I am looking at something much more/larger than a life straw.

I had been involved with disaster communications for the Red Cross for many years and then MARS. This lead to an interest in prepping. All of the food and water I bought 20 years ago is of course gone now but I still have the durable goods. Also, I have been a backpacker and camper for many years and have all the gear for that. I have not been diligent the last few years in keeping up my emergency preparations because of laziness really. I still had a few supplies and the knowledge of what this pandemic could do to create shortages. I was able to build up an adequate food supply back in January and February.

The only REAL backpacking I've ever done was when I went to Philmont for two weeks back in '68. I was 14, and it was GLORIOUS! Don't get me wrong, carrying a 40-45 pound pack was rough but man was it pretty country. 10 days out in the Mountains with only what we had with us. Well we did get a resupply at day 6 I think, but we refused the mule pack train and decided to Shanks Mare the entire 10 days with US playing the er ah Donkeys. grin

If I remember correctly. and I HAVE slept since then, so who knows, I fell short of Eagle Scout by 4 badges.

I went on a hike with my son's Scout troop years ago with packs, and one of the kids just about fell out. I ended up carrying my own pack as well as his, but I was not 14 years old. smile That evening when we all sacked out in the open floored big tent I was awakened by a poor freezing kid whose mother sent him out with one of those bags you sleep on the living room floor. That night the temperature dropped down to 18 degrees! I put him between my son and I and covered us all with a wool blanket and we all slept soundly.
That was along the BlackHawk Trail in Illinois.

Speaking of conflicts, I am now on the third book of the One Second After series. I must say they do make for a good although terrifying reading of what the world would be like to a large extent. Oh and I THINK We have actually seen the turnoff for the College he talks about in the books.

I was a Civil War reenactor for many years and the wool uniforms can be warm during the summer but are great in the winter.

I found a way to spend some cash. I just got back from the grocery store. Canned and dry goods to restock our pantry. I'm glad I was able to get most stuff before the next wave of panic buying kicks in.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/13/20 07:14 PM

We're pretty well stocked up right now. Just bought a couple packs of TP so we should be good that way at least for some time. So far our local grocer has been well stocked this last month, maybe two.

On the local front, our local Dollar General Store has an employee that has the Virus. AND our local CO-OP (farm supply type business) had an employee that has it. At COOP they gave him a going away party (he was joining the Military) and two days later he tested positive. Combining both business employees ONLY, probably 30-40 people have been exposed to it. PLUS a guy and his wife that sometimes come to our church both tested positive. Kinda quite an impact on a town of only 1300 folks.

I don't think the COVID is particularly bad here. People like to panic and I couldn't find a lot of stuff we normlly use. (Like macaroni and bowtie pasta) so we had to make due for the past few months. Stores aren't open late anymore so I have to pick and choose when I go. Luckily they had most everything. I'm just glad we were able to restock and then add a bit. I stocked up on dried veggies this go around.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/13/20 08:33 PM

Ever since I put up those plastic shelving units our canned goods have become a lot more manageable. And I actually did an inventory of all our canned items while I was at it. We don't keep anything in paper or cardboard out in the garage. We have had mice out there before and don't want them ruining what food items we do have.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/13/20 08:46 PM

I can't put anything foodwise in the garage, unless its in the freezer. The mice move in like a hoard. I kill a few and they stay away for a few months and then they are back. My kid spills enough dog food to keep them coming in and the warmth in the winter.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/13/20 09:04 PM

We DID have a bad problem with mice in the garage. But several years ago, I walked around and any place that looked it may lead to an inlet for mice got filled up with expandable foam insulation. SO far we have only had a mouse in there maybe two years out of 5 or 6. It's helped a lot.

Hey Guys how's tricks. I'm just cruising the internet looking at holster for my Glock. Been talking to David about possibly a hybrid, maybe. Still on the fence about it. But I do really like the way he brings the kydex all the way to cover the muzzle, not let it stick out the bottom like a lot of the popular mass market kydex holsters.

If you mean the Grab Bag deal............I got nothing. I spent a fair amount of money on my family when they were here for two weeks, a much better expenditure to my thinking. Just before they left, I gave my Son in law my 1 of 6 Killa Zilla prototype kuhkri; he and the kids did a fair amount of work while they were here.

And I received my two KlinkHammers as well. smile

Used the hose for two nights. Lady said three days is often enough unless I just want to do it every day. Said to clean mask seal every day. Yes it does have a humidifier with it. I STILL wake up with a dry mouth. I might need her to "Tweak" it a bit higher. It has a modem of some kind that she can access from her office. But like I said I do feel more "Lively" when I wake up in the morning, dang it.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/20/20 05:02 AM

If you don’t have a full face mask, your mouth could be open and the air will come out of your mouth causing a dry mouth. If you have a big mouth, that would make it worse. In any case, the machine sometimes needs a period of acclimation. Don’t give up on it too soon. It has made a big difference to me.

The mask covers my nose and mouth and I do get a good seal. I know it is probably just acclimation problems and will probably go away, and like I said I do feel more rested in the mornings. I'm just old and kinda resistant to change, specially changes that take me outside what I am used to. Yeah I'm an Old Curmudgeon.

Randy, I don't know if you have a generator or not, but we received a sales flyer/booklet from Sam's Club today for the days of August 1st through August 9th. They are showing a Westinghouse 2200 watt Inverter Generator for only $299.00 with free shipping if you have the Sam's "Plus" membership. The Inverter generator provides "clean" power for sensitive items such as computers or refrigerators,etc. That is one heck of a deal! Anyone serious about having preps should consider this. wink

Had a great 74th birthday yesterday. I received a great big jar of Planter’s cashews, a bunch of Indian, Japanese and Korean food and a wok. Spent the day reading some science-fiction and sipping on some good coffee. Of course, if it’s not instant, Folgers or a k-cup it has to be good!

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/24/20 09:03 PM

]Well happy Birthday Ray. I am SO sorry we missed it but I'll put it on the Calendar for next year. I could for real deal with the food you got. Science fiction, last week I read all three books in the One Second Trilogy then ready Day of Wrath, THAT book will get you thinking and your blood boiling mad. And it is TO prophetic. Well not really because PART of it has already happened. You know, all those signs that read "Come shoot us we are a gun free zone"! Nancy would be so proud. Unfortunately she probably wouldn't be there.

Thanks, Randy. BTW, I read One Second After many years ago. That’s why I have so much non-electrical stuff. How’s your Aunt Nancy doing? On another topic, I have been following with great interest the St. Louis lawyer couple that have been charged with a felony for confronting protesters in their gated community. I didn’t know that your state was so liberal.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/24/20 11:13 PM

Unfortunately the two largest cities, St. Louis and Kansas city SHOULD belong to the communist state of Illinois or Kalifornia. I of course don't know the particulars but IF their gate was broken down and the rioters entered their property they SHOULD have had the right to do what they did. Any reasonable person (Obviously not the "politiical" ones though) would have reacted the same way. I will tell you, We don't have any fence but if someone broke down our door they would have gotten shot. Oh and for what it is worth, Missouri has ruled that your Vehicle is considered an extension of your home.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/25/20 02:20 PM

Randy is correct about St. Louis and Kansas City, grrrrrr. The St. Louis D.A. is pandering to the BLM people, no doubt some of which are her constituents keeping her in office. Our Governor already said that if they were charged he would pardon them, and the Attorney General was looking to get the case tossed out.

Missouri is mostly a conservative state.

LOL, The closer I get to retirement my luck isn't holding up. 2 ER visits in the last 20 days. The last incident blew out my knee. It no longer functions, I'm off normal duty for at least 6 weeks. Workers comp doesn't give me a ton of confidence in their medical care. I'm still waiting on an MRI appointment to see exactly how much damage there is.

On a bright note, I can relax in a recliner and catch up on current events.

I'm up getting ready to go get an MRI. Hopefully we can figure out what is going on so I can move forward and get it fixed. I vote for something simple and I'm just being a weenie. But Its probably at least a torn menicus. Way too crunchy and popping for a bad sprain.

I've got just one word for ya. Doctor Shopping! OK maybe that's 2 words. Point being, DO not let them tell you that you can go back to your normal rumble and tumble (MAKE SURE they understand how rough your job can get) when they are considering releasing you for full duty. I can see you milking this until January. Just find a nice sympathetic Doctor.

If the numbers now where the same as they would be in 6 months I would have hit the eject button already. I want to leave the job before I hate it.

I hear ya MB. Last night we kept hearing a noise like something hitting the outside of the house. After about the 3rd time I grabbed my house pistol (Beretta PX4 Storm/W 20 round mag and Streamlight tlr or trl light and went outside. Funny how my academy training kicked back in and each time I went around a corner I "Sliced the pie" and checked around the vehicles before I turned my back on them and I even shined the light up in a large tree next to the house. Nothing, nada. Both out buildings were clear as well. Only thing I could figure out is maybe a couple rabbits playing around (saw them in front of the garage door) maybe jumped up and banged into the door. Needless to say I slept in the recliner the rest of the night with the pistol next to me.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 08/10/20 02:20 AM

Good idea.
When I was a tenager my Dad kept the rifles for his American Legion Post in our basement; M1 Garands and Remiongton .22 target rifles. He never worried about me as I went shooting with them occasionally and would help clean the rifles when done. I spent my BEST time shooting with my Grandfather though; he would work my butt off during the summer but as a reward we would practice shooting. Even when he was old my Grandfather was an excellent shot. smile

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 08/10/20 02:24 AM

MY Paternal Grandfather taught me to shoot on an old single shot Iver Johnson 20ga. I couldn't even [censored] the hammer without using both thumbs. First he took out all the pellets and put some cloth in it and closed it back up. After a couple or three of those it was bird shot and the rest as they say is history. I really enjoyed running around the hills with "My" little 20ga.

The kid likes to shoot. But I don't trust most of her friends for squat. We are much older than most of her friend's parents. A whole different set of values. Best to keep them inaccessible.

I have gotten lazy or more tech savvy. I have a camera system. Bumps in the night get investigated by camera and motion sensor lights now. LOL, I can check from the recliner.

A complete tear of the ACL full thickness, Torn Medial Meniscus, and apparently its poking out the side of the joint. Fractured Knee on the Tibia side, Ruptured tendon on my quad and a few other niceties. I really wasn't expecting to hear that kind of damage.

I was really hoping for a mild meniscus tear and be back in the saddle in a month. This is going to be far more than I had planned on.

Wow, this has been a rough month for everyone. My BIL went on a motorcycle tour of Zion and crashed. He has a comminuted tib fib fracture and they just put a splint on in Utah and he had to ride home in a pickup with bench seats. After riding in a pickup for two days to get to the ER. The doctor is telling him they can’t do surgery for a week or two and the bones will have started healing by then.

MB if you don’t mind, what do you do for a living? Sounds like your job is rough.

Yeah, that’s what I’d expect. It’s already been 5 days and the doctors don’t seem to concerned about getting around to it. He’s really bothered by the fact his foot is only still attached by soft tissue.

I hope you heal up quickly. It sounds like you’re pretty banged up as well.

As much bad stuff that has gone on in 2020, I still feel blessed. Working towards retirement and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm pretty sure it's not a train. As long as the housing market holds out I can sell my house and put a healthy chunk down on my next home.

My wife and kid are pretty excited about the move and despite not really knowing anyone where we are headed it just seems like the right fit for us. Unfortunately, this is really going to put a hamper on a bathroom remodel and I will likely have to pay someone to do the work that I could have done. But sometimes that's life.

Anticipation for the future move will continue to build, especially once you settle on where you want to go. Once we decided on the general area we wanted to live, we contacted various Chambers of Commerce and realtors to get an idea of prices, home and land, etc. We are really happy to have left the greater Chicago area for our place here in S/W Missouri! smile

I'm a planner, We have been through the area for at least 25 years and originally planned on retiring here. But that changed. Last year and this year we went on vacation and visited around the state and confirmed that we wanted the area. This summer we went and looked at land to buy. Found places we liked but most had an HOA that we didn't like. So we didn't buy.

I/we will probably go and find a house we like and put in an offer contigent on the sale of ours next spring.

I'm in the same boat garden wise kinda. Peppers are coming on nicely, Eggplants are doing great Tomatoes are way delayed due to a late hard freeze darned near killing them. I have about a month left before having to worry about frost/freezing again. Taters seem to be doing OK. Squash is giving me more than I can use right now. Watermelons and cucumbers were eaten by the dog within a day of planting them so no dice this year.

I thought I'd post a few pictures of my solo camping setup, I've been heading out at least once a month for a week or so and camping on a river, some local easy coast and sometimes on a river out west. these pics are from an early camp on the Allyn River only about an hour or two from home.

[Linked Image from i7.photobucket.com]

Setup from a different view. I've had the old truck for 20 years now, its a Nissan Navara 3.2 ltr diesel that just keeps going on and never had a breakdown.

I'm a bit Jealous Ian. I went on vacation in late June and early July in a travel Trailer. I haven't made it out to the back country yet. Due to quarantines and every time I try to take the kiddo out on the ATV's for some hammock camping the weather turns nasty.

Now, I won't be able to hit the backcountry until my leg heals up and by then it will be deep into winter.

Here's to hoping 2021 is better that 2020 has been.

HI MB,
We're getting about okay though the states north and south of us are locked down, the rest of Australia is free to travel'

Hope the leg goes well mate, also hope they soon get a vaccine for this virus that's kicking about.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 08/18/20 03:47 AM

If surgery goes well, I will be healed just before I retire. So It should give me a bit more time to enjoy the back country. At least until I get bored and start working somewhere again.

The thought of retirement sounds appealing but at the same time scares the heck out of me. 34 years staying busy with little down time. 28 of those in this career field. It's going to be hard to walk away.

Without drawing a line in the sand, My wife has made it painfully clear she is ready for me to retire. Especially after this last injury. Heck the one less than 3 weeks before was bad enough. She didn't even let me get to the sidewalk of the ER before she asked me to quit. In front of my Lt.

Once I am at maximum medical improvement and can return to work, I will make up the time that my retirement has frozen, I will submit my retirement paperwork and start getting my house ready to sell.

At times I'm really looking forward to it and other times I am already regretting it.

None of the late nights for me, I'm in bed by eight PM and up at 5 am. grin

My working days used to start at 3.30 am fill the truck with diesel at the servo and be gone by 4.30. 7.00am we'd be at a pie shop in a little town Called Merriwa and by 8.30 up in the bush on the mountains loading rock to be delivered to landscape nurseries. About a fourteen hour day, six days a week

My sleep habits are all out of whack. I'm usually a night owl. I sleep from 2 am to 9am. Now I'm out by 11 pm and awake between 0530 and 0630am. I'm guessing it will be similar once I'm done with a timeclock.

Patty and I used to never go to bed (after I retired) before 1 or 2am, sometimes 3 or 4. Now that I am on the CPAP machine I am usually out by 1130 to 1230 am at the latest. BUT I am now starting to wake up about 0600 or 0630 unless the pup wakes me up earlier. Go figure.

Yeah MB, but you were on the "Front Lines" a lot longer than I was. Even though being a Dispatcher for 25 years and a Patrol Officer for only 3 I guess I did see my share of "Rowdiness" what with working the road and riding along with Deputies a LOT before Patty and I got together. It's time to let the youngsters take over the "Fun and Games". You've paid your dues, now it's time to enjoy the spa.

Today my wife and I got up early and sat on the back deck had some cofee and waited for the ballons again. It's gonna be a scorcher again today.

I could definately get used to it. Tomorrow is going to be the interesting day. I need to make sure our furnace is up and running. The day will be mid 90's and down in the 30' by the time I wake up. So AC until dark and then switch the furnace on. I need to bring some plants in and cover the rest maybe throw in some old christmas lights since it will be cold (below freezing) for the next 3 or 4 days then back up to the 70's for the weekend.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I went thru the same experience 4 years ago. My son was a heroin addict and had been in detox and rehab twice, and I thought he would make it after the 2nd time, but he didn't. I found it helpful to deal with the grief by talking with people who understood drug addiction – I saw a professional counselor a couple times, and also attended Nar-Anon meetings for maybe 2 years or so (if there is not a Nar-Anon group in your area, Al-Anon could also help). People at the NA meetings understand what it is like dealing with a family member who is an addict, and even though my son had passed, I still found it helpful to sort out my feelings by attending the meetings. In an odd sort of way, I did find some peace with the passing of my son, that his struggle was finally over. I will pray for you and your family, that you will find peace too.

It's weird. The shelves weren't picked clean by any means. But even Costco and Sams weren't in stock for basic canned veggies unless you needed corn or green beans. Maybe all the hurricanes have shifted the supply to areas with a bigger need for canned goods.

I know I just got another robo call from our local (1302 population town) nursing home that a second employee has now tested positive. That makes 2 in one week. Oh did I mention that my Mom is a resident there? Kinda got me worried, she will be 89 Dec 24th and has several health issues, to include heart problems.

Thats a rough one. Some nursing homes are great. Others are horrible horrible places. Prayers for your Mom.


I am trying out dry canning. I never tried it before and thought I would give it a shot. Pinto beans, Rice and flour are my first victims. I would try a few others but canning jars are like hens teeth right now. Depending on who you ask if it's done right, it shifts the shelf life anywhere bewteen 15 and 30 years.

Plus I'm vacume packing some of the same stuff. I figure I will break some of the flour out each year and see how it works. I'll use that as my yard stick to see if it is worth it. Rice and beans tend to stay decent if stored dry and cool anyway.

I think I'm going to try and dry can some powdered milk. The shelf life is pretty bad in the foil lined boxes. I have some powdered milk in heavy plastic/mylar bags but I'm not sure how long they will last in the sealed bags. I did vacume seal the ones in the bags as well to see if I can get more shelf life out of them. But all it really does is act as a backup if the bag has a leak.

I'm trying to play catchup again since we are now caring for my inlaws as well.

M/B, I like the Joplin area in general, as it has everything from good shopping for practically anything to excellent medical and hospital services. If I moved there I believe I would build a dome-shaped home with a basement on a couple acres of land, preferably surrounded by farms so that I would not have too many neighbors and plenty of privacy.

Howdy Dawgs. Had a bad scare Thursday. The Grandson fell off the Monkey Bars at school and broke both bones in his left arm. One, the large one, broke and was at a 45 degree angle to the rest of the bone. They thought he might need a plate, but after another xray after setting it, the Doc said NO plate! He was a trooper though (6yrs old) and it taking it in stride.

I stopped by the hardware store and picked up moving boxes. I started packing up gear that I'm done using this season. I'm probably going to go ahead and try to pack up most of my sporting/outdoors gear for the pending move this spring. The wife and I also rearranged/organized the pantry/preps this afternoon.

Skunk. The plan is to try and buy/sell right after school is out and the runt and I will move into the new place so she can start school there. My wife will follow a few months later after she retires. SHe will stay with one of her sisters for a few months during the transition. It will be interesting but worth it.

When we decided we were moving to that area I used that as an excuse to buy a 10mm pistol and set it up with a red dot for grizzly protection with some hot hard cast ammo. I also have some really hot 12 gauge ammo and some fairly hot ammo for my Guide gun in 45/70.

We have hung out in grizzly country quite of bit over the past 25 or so years. I haven't had an issue yet but we try to be smart about it. It never hurts to be prepared though.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 10/04/20 10:48 PM

OK, guess I should say Romania. Here is an interesting fact I did not know.

Interesting Vlad the Impaler Facts: The name Dracul, used by Vlad the Impaler's father, eventually grew to be associated with the word devil, but its use was originally an honor for those inducted into the Order of the Dragon. The Order of the Dragon was created in 1408 by Emperor Sigismund as a chivalric order.

Who knew.

I don't think it works that way, but I like where your heads at.
How many times has she fired it? and a follow on question,
What was the after action report, her debrief?

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 10/07/20 04:27 AM

Something came up today and I ended up running around town, so the shooting will be tomorrow. I got her a .45LC/.410 gauge "Rowdy" with a three inch barrel. I plan on shooting a few PDX-1 loads as well as .45LC "cowboy action" rounds, along with a few .410 birdshot loads and a buckshot or two. I had her shoot my Ruger RedHawk .44 mag. before so I don't think she will have much of a problem. wink

Well, we shot the Bond Arms "Rowdy" today, and it was fun. The General did a good job hitting the target at about 10 feet with all three loads we shot; PDX-1, OO Buckshot, and .45LC "cowboy action". The recoil didn't really surprise or bother her much, and she can appreciate having a double-barreled shotgun in her hands for protection. I can too! wink

That's good to know, I figured that little thing would buck and snort something fierce.
Maybe she's just not recoil sensitive, which is nice that you can hand her pretty much anything and she could make it work.

We had a student show up at the range and they were positive for covid. So now we are shut down for 2 weeks. Every full time instructor was there. 28 other students are now off work for 2 weeks. I kind of want to jack smack them for showing up when they knew they weren't supposed to. We give 2 weeks off if you are exposed and then test positive. Free time until you test negative or heal up for 2 weeks.

Now I get to go do mind numbing work for 2 weeks since I likely wasn't exposed.

Fair enough, it's one of those calibers that makes sense to reload for if your gonna shoot it a bunch. Actually that's true of any caliber these days, except that components are harder to find.

Morning/Afternoon yard!

I'm debating a new side gig. I am thinking about getting certified as a gun smith or at least getting certifications as an armorer for all the major brands.
For what most gunsmiths/shops charge for installing sights and RMR's I could charge half and still make a decent profit. I have no interest in alot of the stuff Gunsmiths do though so Armorers certs may be the thing.

In 4 days I have installed more than 100 RMR's and night sights. As long as you have a decent sight pusher it's easy as can be. And it doesn't take long.

Fall is finally here. It's been way too hot here. But it was upper 20's and mid 50's today. SHould be low 70's and lows in the 40's dipping into 30's through next week. I really like this temperature range ANything upper 30's to the low 70's is fine by me.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 10/20/20 02:28 PM

I wear Large/XL Gloves. I have a Wardog and it's a very comfortable handle. I find it a pretty normal size compared to most knives. The thing is if you have never held one you just don't know. Online sales and all make things difficult for those of us that like to fiddle with things before we buy them.

I have been fortunate. I have liked every handle on the SYKCO knives that I have bought. I only passed on one due to handle size.

No one can say how you'll feel in particular, but get one coated in some different color (not black) and it might be easier to move if you're not a fan.

I don't have tiny hands--size large/XL gloves. I absolutely loved the War Dog and love the slicer I have with the same handle (fantastic general purpose kitchen prep and butchering knife).

The BEST handle for long hands IMO is the mudder grip. Then the Regulator, then the WD. I wouldn't want a Regulator grip on a 4" blade. I WOULD love a mudder (and have one). The WD grip is a great grip for a 4-5" blade. Much nicer in the hands than the Basic grip (though that isn't without its charms)

However, everyone is unique. What I love you might hate smile

I'm gonna go visit the Sportsnut tomorrow and get my grubby mitts on the War dog handles just to see what the score is.
I've got several Mudders already, that's an excellent handle, on the ragged edge of being too small, but just inside the boundary.

Well ya learn something new every day. I made a comment somewhere that “Danny the Bull” sheaths weren’t made by that company. I suspected it might be Dan. I then went on to ask if HE isn’t making them, then WHO is. This no longer matters. If I would just have read some more I would have gotten my answer. The sheaths are made by a company that has made sheaths for SYKCO before, and since they have Dan’s (Who is it said called Danny the Bull around the Shop) approval, you just know they will be a perfect match for The Scrapyard wares.

Dan, thank you so much for offering us the opportunity to purchase sheaths from the site at the time of purchase of these, to quote Bill and Ted, “Most Excellent” sheaths.

Howdy guys. Been a day. Zeta blew through this morning, winds 70+ mph and about 3-5 inches of rain. Trees down everywhere and our power just came back on. And we’re lucky. Next road over is being told it may be next week before they get power back.

They started hitting supplies hard a the beginning of the week Toilet paper and Hand sanitizer version II. I'm betting it's going to get sporty in some of the urban areas.

I'm glad I don't have to be a part of it. I figured there would be at least 2 more runs before the end of the year.

I had wanted to sell a bunch of stuff but I can't even move it until I am healthy enough and released by the Dr's to lift it. We are trying to go through stuff and get rid of what we don't need.

I am truly worried that as a nation we have crossed a point of no return. I don't know how we can help the rancor that's developed. We're developing (have developed?) into two mutually exclusive, diametrically opposed political groups.

Politics trumps interpersonal relationships. Hate fuels conversations. People who disagree are evil. We're are dehumanizing each other. Once that happens, it's easy to do terrible things to your fellow man. I've studied China for decades. I understand the hate that can be used as a political tool. I know what revolution looks like. I understand how disturbing, dangerous, and degenerate people can get once they succumb to hate.

FRIENDLY disagreements are the way things are changed, hopefully for the better. But actual hatred over politics has no place in our world.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 11/06/20 01:19 AM

Now for the good news!

As of today, my wife can retire with full benefits and a little higher retirement than we originally planned. She had been given some inaccurate information and that was fixed today. She thought she had to work for another year. So we can all move together at the same time. We were planning to buy a house and the runt and I would move in June or July she would follow in September.

Now we can retire at the same time In January, Or I will retire shortly after.

We are fast-tracking packing and house repairs and hope to have the house on the market within days of retiring.

I managed to find a large cargo trailer that is reasonably affordable and I don't have to travel more than 500 miles to buy. I am in line to get a 24 foot 8.5 foot wide 7-foot ceiling enclosed trailer I'm hoping it will get here in December. Unfortunately, I can't put a deposit since the prices are changing due to materials costs. But I'm first in line. My plan is to use it to move and then convert it into a camper/toyhauler once I'm done. It will be an interesting retirement project. Basically, I'm rolling the cost of the move into a base for my camper project.

I'm pretty happy that we can see a light at the end of the tunnel. The only thing that will extend my retirement is if I'm not healed up yet. LOL, I'm not leaving until they fix what they broke.

Now to time it right to find the right property to retire to.

That is exactly the view I have from here in Europe! 15 or 20 years ago I could not have seen your nation just breaking into two parts they are now. how can 50% of your poeple be evil just becouse they have more liberal or concervative views? Both of the partys running have a democratic tradition that spans for centuries. Its not about winning against each other, its about making the country a better place to live for all citizens...

Morning, Thanks, everyone! I'm pretty happy about the change in retirement. I have been struggling with the thought of retirement for a while. It's a hard job but it's still hard to walk away from. I've literally been doing it for more than half of my life.

According to my wife getting sidelined with an injury may have been a blessing in disguise. I have been forced to step out of the fast lane and slow down enough to see the benefits of not having to always be running 500 mile an hour from one adrenaline dump to the next. I'm already past the initial shock of not being around the team.

I'm looking forward to being able to take so time to enjoy life and spend more time exploring places I've never been.

One benefit of packing/boxing up the house to move is finding stuff you lost. I have found quite a bit of gun parts that I really wanted. I was able to finish minor repairs/mods on a couple of guns because I found the misplaced parts. Bolt covers, grips odds, and ends. The parts were in the weirdest spots.

Howdy Skunky. The earthquake just vibrated the house a little bit. No damage to my knives or coffee equipment though. I was halfway out the door with my espresso machine cradled in my arms when my wife told me it was over. I had to pull a couple of shots to make sure the machine was alright and to restart my heart. I had to endure some eye rolling from my wife for a while but I sent her up on the roof to check for damage. She was too tired after that for any more sarcastic commentary.

I had my eye surgery pre-op yesterday and I don’t have to worry about the more expensive lens. Doc said I didn’t meet the criteria needed to get the more expensive lens that I would have to wear glasses anyway, at least for reading so there wouldn’t be any need for me to fork out 42 hundred bucks out of my own pocket when a less expensive set of glasses would accomplish the same thing. I did wait until I left his office before doing my happy dance though. Something they should all be thankful for.

So the game plan is first eye surgery on the 18th on my left eye (the worse one) and post op on my right eye on the 23rd with surgery on Dec 2nd. I may have to change my name to Eagle Eye. Nah, just kidding the forum would be lost without it’s smelly old critter.

The coffee go bag was the first bag I made. I have roasted and green beans, 2 Emberlit stoves, a Jetboil type stove, 2 Bialetti Coffee makers, an Aeropress, 2 handmade Italian coffee mugs, and 2 unbreakable coffee mugs. Makes a nice fairly light pack that I can carry to help out my wife so that she can carry the big 70 lb go bag with all our food, water and stuff.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 11/21/20 07:33 PM

The time seems to be going pretty quickly so far. I could have retired 173 days ago. (but who's counting).

I'm busy with physical therapy, Dr's visits, packing, cleaning while I'm trying to heal up. In between telecommuting until I'm healed enough to go back to my real job. It has helped the time go quicker. I hope my timing is right and I'm healed enough to leave the PT and Dr's visits behind.

Also hoping my enclosed trailer comes in so I can store household goods while we sell the house. The bonus is it will give us a headstart on getting everything loaded for the move.

Morning Yard!

It's a pretty nice sunny day here. For the first time in a while, My wife and I are both off on Thanksgiving. It's going to be kind of nice having a small Thanksgiving at home. It rarely happens. One of us is working or we are hosting a huge gathering.

I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving! Enjoy your time with family and friends. Or whatever you happen to be doing today!

Evening!

Another busy day packing and sorting stuff. Got most of the gun room squared away and my leatherworking table cleaned up and sorted. Found a project I started and just never finished. A leather sheath for the RMD. Leather is cut and dyed I just never sewed it together. I'll set that aside to finish after I move. Got all my radio and portable solar stuff packed up and ready to go.

I finally found my cordovan brown wax and got the WS sheath all polished and darkened up nicely. I wish we could direct post photos. I don't post too many since Photobucket went evil.

He is a really good guy. We have been through some crazy stuff together. I think he just had his fill. I was the sole holdout for tenured supervisors. I trained most of the guys that retired over the past few years. LOL, I guess I'm an old warhorse.

I have mentored several to replace me. It is interesting leaving a team like this. We have a lot of road behind us and a whole lot of rough times where we only had each other to rely on. It's official The bands broken up.

Doc gave me the green light. Said all I need is Cheaters for close up reading etc. it will be nice not having to wear glasses all the time, well prescription ones at least.

Got my good Skunkglasses that sort of wrap around and have tall ear pieces that completely cover me eyes from side to side.

This is what I got. I really like them

And yes, we all did serve the same country, with pride and if called upon to continue defending the Constitution, and it’s rights, I would continue to defend my country against all enemies, both foreign AND domestic.

I just wrapped and packed all the fixed blades that I had in the safe. I'm really glad that my wife wasn't t there to see it. I filled a small moving box with just Busse-kin blades minus a Randal made. LOL, I still have a few in hunting packs and a Bob.

I'm pretty sure I have room for 1 more ScrapYard blade if it gets released before I move.

The Marine Times reported that about 5,000 Marines were relocated to Quam from Okinawa according to an agreement with Japan to reduce the number of U.S. troops on Okinawa. The Marine Times also reported “ Former Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert Neller also questioned whether it was a good idea to move too many Marines to Guam just as the Marine Corps prepares for a potential confrontation with China.”

Well, thanks for the prayers. Hope you are doing well. COVID is getting closer to us. Where my wife works (an assisted living center) got their first cases last week. Two of the staff tested positive. They say it was from Thanksgiving celebrations they were part of. Hugs and kisses, no social distancing etc. The center was doing well up to now. Several staff there have have taken leave because they have compromised immune systems or have family members who do.

Also they are predicting major power outages but I am not concerned because I have 5 portable stoves, many gas canisters, a woodpile, two hand grinders and 7 ibs of coffee.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 12/18/20 07:21 PM

We had our big snowstorm yesterday and I could see right away that the snow shovel I bought for my wife last year was way too small to deal with all that snow. I mentioned that she had to go to work because the Busse Ganzaa was coming up and we needed the money. So she went out at 6 AM and barely finished the driveway in time to go to work. When she came home at 5:30, she had to park in the street because the plows had put up a 3 feet high wall of snow across our driveway. I helped her out by bringing her the shovel so she wouldn’t have to climb that icy wall. I made her a cup of tea that I told her she could have after she was finished. I also made supper. Well, I actually had a local restaurant deliver some food. But I did heat it up for her in the microwave after she finally finished. I hadn’t bought her Christmas present yet so I went on line and bought her the biggest shovel I could find. There are many side benefits to a big shovel. It’s good for cardio and also will build up her upper body strength so she can chop wood and do other yard work more easily this summer. I hope she likes her Christmas present and Amazon will gift wrap it to boot!

Morning!

Weather-wise it's not too bad. Sunny and it should get into the mid 40's. I probably won't get out to enjoy it too much. The wife decided that we are hosting Christmas for the family. She really wants to since it's our last Christmas in this house.

I think she is going to be cranky. The area where we have the most room for entertaining is full of boxes from where we packed up a lot of our household goods. Unless my cargo trailer comes in on Monday or Tuesday we aren't going to have a whole lot of room for people Plus the whole house is a mess due to all the packing. Heck, my work gear is spread out to sure I have everything to turn back in.

Evening yard!

After a long day, I made myself an old-fashioned and I'm going to kick back and relax for the remainder of the night.

We to see my surgeon and he prescribed me a hinged leg brace. Seems it's going to be a lifetime need. If I want to do most of the hard stuff from work or a lot of my favorite pastimes it's going to be a need. I'm not against it since it wil help prevent another bad injury and it should slow me down too much. In the short term, it should allow me to speed up a bit.

Now to see if workers comp try to deny it like much of everything else.

If they deny it it's worth paying out of pocket. Plus it will inspire me to get an attorney and add some cash to their pockets for my settlement. Not what I really want to do but I may have to. The medical side is OK the adjustor really prides themselves in doing as little as possible to ensure they save every penny. LOL, I'm not looking for a Cadillac plan. I just want to be able to do my job and return to my normal hobbies without crippling myself.

It's snowing pretty well here right now. It's been spitting snow all day but it looks like we will get a few inches of snow tonight. The high country is expecting a couple of feet of snow.

My wife and I went to look at a couple of chairs for the living room and ended up buying 2 new chairs and a couch. Who would have thought regular chairs cost more than recliners?

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 12/29/20 03:48 AM

That's actually what got me to start stocking up and prepping years ago. I used to live in a small mountain town and power outages were common. Either weather-related or some joker shooting transformers and other parts in remote areas. It was easy to get cut off from stores due to snow or rock falls blocking roads. It was nice to not really have to sweat any of those issues. If I really needed something I could take the forest service trails to a bigger town to re-up.

Yup, having a good supply of shelf stable food along with a genset and fuel stores makes life easy when it is suppose to get rough! Finally wired in a full transfer switch a couple years ago and the only downside is that I have no idea what to do with all the extra extension cords I have now...

Had a 3 or 4 day power outage a few years ago. Almost felt guilty watching TV and playing games on my laptop to pass the time... laugh

A few years ago some folks were out of power for a couple of weeks, but we were warm, well fed, and hydrated. I also keep extra water on hand for flushing toilets, and keep MANY bottles of water for drinking and cooking. It is actually more inconvenient to not have water than it is to not have electricity. A few extra 12 volt batteries and power inverters kept us well lit as well.

The trailer I ordered is still in limbo. It was supposed to have been here on the 21st of December. They told me it was on site last Thursday. I started out to pick it up this morning and thankfully they called me on the way and said they didn't get it. Before I drove an hour to get it.

I'm hoping they get it on Monday. I have a room full of boxes and had planned on loading the trailer and using it for storage while we replace carpet and paint. Plus get a jump on loading the trailer for the move.

I'm already a bit antsy from being on vacation and now not having a reason not to get stuff done. I like being busy.

LOL, I'm a planner and they are killing my plans. It's not a huge deal, stuff happens. It is stalling my plans though. The whole domino effect. I was planning on picking it up and installing the e-track and tie downs today. Making sure all the stepped puck locks fit and worked. Then Loading everything tomorrow. Monday getting carpet ordered and moving everything out of the living room pulling the old carpet, repainting and redoing the molding. While I wait for the new carpet.

Probably getting a small rolling dumpster and ditching anything we don't want to sell/give away in the process.

Evening!

Stayed busy while the wife and Kid were away. I managed to get one of our banisters cleaned up and refurbished. Now I have about 5 times that to do on the rest of the house.

I don't mind staying busy. I kind of enjoy manual labor. I just wish I had been able to do it a few years ago. My kid is clumsy by nature and tends to damage stuff unintentionally. I just quit fixing everything right way because I knew she would destroy it again. LOL, that is why I didn't bother to get new carpet years ago. It's absolutely unintentional on her part. But if she can break or spill something she will.

As I repair stuff she is forbidden to go near it. I may have to plastic wrap a path through the house until I sell it. wink

Might be a sore spot, but what’s the word on your trailer?
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/07/21 11:39 PM

No trailer yet. They just called me as said that it's mostly built but the silver skin is holding it up. I'm having them check to see if I can get it in another color like Charcoal or black. Really anything but white. It sounds weird but I don't want a rolling billboard. I actually wanted a Charcoal color but I was looking to get the specs I wanted in a trailer that was already being produced. Otherwise, it's going to be the end of the month. Which is going to cause me some issues.

I was hoping to pick up a side by side next week. Depending on what we end up getting it may not fit on my current open trailer. So it has thrown a wrench in a lot of my plans. Hopefully another color skin will work but I'm expecting that it will be 5 or 6 weeks late on the promised delivery.

Dealer offered a loaner or different trailer but it's not going to work. The dealer is decent enough other than it taking so long to find out what the issue was. I'll see what happens tomorrow. Enclosed trailers this size are hard to find right now. It's a hot commodity. I'm betting next year used ones will be cheap. Same with UTV's. I'm just not in a spot to wait.

Gotta love new toys!

One benefit of a white trailer is it reflects some of the heat from the sun. Can still get pretty toasty inside but every bit helps keep the gas from boiling out of the toys inside! laugh

Not sure on the prices, but does the dealer know anyone who does vinyl wrapping? Perhaps they could do a basic solid color on the sides for a decent price?
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/08/21 02:58 PM

Morning!

Cold One, I actually have a friend that does custom wraps. That stuff is crazy expensive.

After we move I want to convert the trailer to a living quarters toy hauler. I'm not too keen on black due to the heat but Silver or even charcoal gray would be fine. I live in a colder climate and plan on insulating the roof and walls as the first part of the conversion.

Once it's all done it shouldn't look like a typical RV camper nor should it really scream enclosed trailer.

Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/08/21 03:38 PM

I suspect it's going to be a multi year project. More because of cash and my lack of talent. There is no way I'm going to run the electrical wiring myself. Me and house wiring have a love hate relationship. I don't mind removing the walls roof and floor to insulate and fix the gaps from the factory. I want to install an awning and get some windows in right away.

After those are done I'm going to have to sit down with my wife and decide how she wants it set up. She has told me several ideas that conflict with each other. Once I start adding cabinets and counters I really don't plan on moving anything.

I would be content with some lighting and a folding bench/bed with a table. But I think she is going to want a bit more. As long as I'm warm/dry and have a nice place to sleep I'm good.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/08/21 03:56 PM

Probably should go with led lighting. Just saw an ad for a 1000k propane generator that runs on a 10lb tank for 50 hours! (?)
Yeah a Murphy bed setup would give you a lot more living space and if the “not so runt” could handle it, a drop down style bunk bed would also work. Just watch a lot of did it themselves converted ambulances for ideas. There are some pretty innovative folks out there.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/08/21 04:05 PM

At this point LED is the only way to go. I have a couple options on the beds. One is a set of tumble and fold benches over the wheel wells, a Murphy bed, a bed-mounted on a lift and making a removable frame that attaches with e-trac. A good portion is going to depend on how the wife wants to floorplan laid out.

I will likely make the second bed something that can be removed quickly and not permanently attached. We will be empty nesters in a few years.

I have been looking at a lot of conversion builds online. There are definitely talented and creative people out there.

Gotta love grizzlies! Usually pretty mellow but heaven help you if you offend one... I carried lead based bear spray when I went for wanders. Had a nice little marlin guide gun in stainless. Chambered in 45/70 with a peep sight. Handloads put a 400 grain out the business end at a consistent 1800fps. laugh

Fortunately never had to use it mind you.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/08/21 07:39 PM

I have a Marlin Guide Gun in 45/70 as well, I used to carry a Ruger 44 as an always-on me gun but I'm going to try out a 10mm in the same platform that I have carried for the past 26 years. I figure if I have to use a handgun it's because things have gone terribly wrong and I may as well use what I'm familiar with. I'm using some hot underwood ammo for both. I have some Brenneke Black Magic slugs for 12 gauge as well but that will be an alternative to the others.

I haven't had many issues with Grizzlies. I tend to leave them alone and watch them from a reasonable distance. Except for a few cases where we just happened to be close but both of us knew the other was there and uninterested in the other. I picked up some bear spray as well. I figured it couldn't hurt. It's nice to have options. Especially since I plan on spending a whole lot of time fishing and bow hunting in that area.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/08/21 08:39 PM

I think bear spray is a good idea, and it will work on other potential predators like cougars or wolves. It has proven to be very effective, often times negating the need to kill an animal while buying you time to get out of the area. However, I would still keep a short-barreled 12 gauge slung across my back for critters that refuse to "co-operate".

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/08/21 09:45 PM

I have seen more aggression from Black Bears. One of my friends is bad luck when it comes to bears. He has been bluff charged, had them stand up and start puffing and popping their jaws. Sometimes it's the same bear that I just passed minutes before or after him. They tend to ignore me or at least tolerate me. But not him. Maybe I'm being mistaken as one of them. I may need to shave some more and shower better. wink

They were selling "bear bells", right beside the bear spray, to put on your shoes at one time... Not sure if they still do but it was literally bells you tied to your boots to warn the bears you were around. We did have fun with tourists.. The question of how to tell black bear scat from grizz... Black bear is loose and full of berries. Grizzly has bells in it and smells like pepper!

Also the old classic of how to tell what type of bear treed you. If it climbs up and kills you it was a black bear. if it pushes the tree over and kills you it is a grizzly! laugh

Some areas the grizzlies would run towards a gunshot since the learned hunters would leave a gut pile behind.

Really though, for the most part they ignored humans. we weren't worth the trouble and hey knew we were below them on the food chain! I do have some pretty decent photos around.

The only thing that concerns me is bowhunting. That's when the most attacks happen in the area. It's a fact they sometimes come to gunfire to check it out but at least they are carrying a long gun when that happens. Bow season I can only carry a pistol when I'm in the field and I usually hunt alone.

The Doc still won't let me get on a ladder so I'm having to have the kid climb up and help me on the last 3 pieces that I can't get to without climbing.

I have to say. I think his night of broken glass reference is way off. He is heavily implying Trump is the Nazi party. I will say the only Nazi tactics I have observed has been from the ANTIFA and BLM, I have to laugh because many online dictionaries have actually changed the definition of Fascism to make it seem less like what Antifa is doing. I read an article from a scholar about Mussolini and what and how he did what he did. Aside from nationalism, it was straight out of the Antifa paybook. I would equate the issue at the Capitol closer to Reichstag fire but that's not quite right either.

I just finished writing an article reference what happened on the 6th, but with much less rhetoric.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/12/21 01:33 AM

Here is my opinion for what it's worth. And it's free.

Most people can see that there was definitely weird stuff that went on with the election. The question is what and how much. Was it in great enough number to affect the results? I don't know.

The lawsuits I got any info on were dismissed over procedural issues not lack of merit. So nobody really knows whether or not there was merit.

My issue is this. I want to see the evidence. If there was fraud those responsible need severely punished. If there wasn't, those claiming proof should be punished. Either way, a large part of the US believes the trust in the election process has been damaged. Either by fraud or by misinformation.

It's really simple. One group is lying through their teeth. If there is evidence drop it and let the chips fall where they may. If they lied...... Well, prison is probably a pretty good place for them.
Heck, If I was Biden I would be demanding they release their evidence. Screaming it from the rooftops.

Biden and the Democraps controlling so much of the media, preventing folks from learning the truth about the Biden family's corrupt dealings with China and others, stifling free speech, forming an "enemies list" of Trump supporters, and now the big rush to impeach him again in order to prevent him from running again; welcome to the Democratic socialist future. frown

It's supposed to be nice here today. And decent through Friday.

I have yet another Dr's appointment today. They are getting annoying. Since it's a work-related injury I end up going to see a Dr that can do nothing at least every other week. Nice enough guy but he isn't there to provide the medical care he is there for WC to check progress. Aside from physical therapy, an expensive brace, and time there isn't much else to do. I'll be at a medical facility 3 days this week. And Again next week.

I miss having a farm that I can shoot or hunt whenever I want. The suburbs kinda suck for that. Plus since I'm not currently an instructor I can't just go open the range whenever. But they weren't letting us do that with the Ciovid restrictions anyway. My range time in 2020 was severely restricted. Plus no more free practice ammo. All training ammo is on my dime now.

Plus I have a pretty nice portable range setup with steel targets and a portable target stands for paper silhouettes.

It's definitely not my favorite board game. I think the now family infamous monopoly game was a 2 day affair. The kid went out crying the first night. I was tired of playing and tried to tell my wife she won but she refused, wanting to legitimately win. Then she lost badly.

We have a bunch of board games. Scrabble and trivial pursuit are probably my two favorites.

Get yourself one of these. I have one I use from time to time and that hook is a lot handier than you think. I am going to put some kind of a wrap on mine for a better hand hold.

I will have no choice but to take it easy. The brace should make it less likely to tear everything back out if I do turn wrong or fall wrong.

I got my baseboards and trim refurbished in my hallway. Looks pretty dang good overall. I do have one piece that once it dries I will probably have to hit a second time.

A couple of months ago I cleaned out the garage and threw out a bunch of stuff. Last week I was downstairs in the shop and wanted to use my wet grinder to sharpen some chisels. Then I found out that the plastic piece I threw out was the water trough for the grinder. It can’t be used without it.

I guess I'm not the only one with that kind of luck. I tossed out a box from a WML. It had a part in it that I have never used because I have never needed it in about 15 years. Guess who needed it last week. 20 bucks to replace it. Or spend another 300 to get a new one..........

Thanks MB. All we know is “they” called her and scheduled the CT scan pretty quick. Also they are not real happy she has to wait until the 26th to do a pre procedure appointment with her Gastrointerologist. It sure what that is all about either, but they did say some of her levels are messed up.

Thanks Tom. I really like the carbine and the pistol is my “night stand” gun. They both use the same 20 round magazines. Actually that’s why I got them together. Easier to keep up with only one magazine type and ammo. I have a vest that I have several double mag pouches mounted on. If I can figure out where it’s hanging I will try and get a pic of it. Now I just have to figure out how to make a Vest and carriers of some type to hold my shotgun ammo. BTW, I just bought 50 rounds of something called Black Aces Tactical 00 Buckshot. Looked fairly good in the UTube videos I’ve seen. But I still covet the Federal Flite Control Wad rounds. But MAN, I’d need Rays money to get very many rounds of that stuff.

Here’s a link to their site.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/24/21 12:33 AM

Buying the vanity was far more difficult than it should have been. The advertised measurements are way different than actual dimensions. Took a whole lot longer than I had planned, paid more and didn't get exactly what I wanted. It will work though.

The carpet is going to take a lot longer than I planned as well. Maybe a month until get it installed in one area and we might have to give a carpet allowance when we put ours on the market instead of trying to get it installed.

It will be worth it in the end. I was hoping to have it completed so I could live in it for a bit. Of course, if we can't find what we're looking for I'll get to live in it for a while wink

It's not a good time to try and find ammo. It would not be fun to try and start stocking up now. I think it's going to be a rough couple of years if not more for ammo and components if you reload. Plenty is being made but it's getting snatched up as soon as it hits the shelves.
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/24/21 02:50 AM

I THOUGHT I had a fair amount of 12ga, but when I was sorting through it I only had about half what I thought, and only found 15 slugs! That has me concerned. I might have to dedicate my 20 as a slug gun. If I do I’ll be not to bad off.

They retired that program and its been replaced by commercial software that is new and improved.

LOL, I'll share. She ripped off the tile soap dispenser and then got scared and fixed it herself with some type of clear adhesive mixed in with some Irish spring soap. It had an odd green look but bonded surprisingly well She also cleaned some grout by removing it.

So now I get to removed a bunch of the old grout and re-grout the entire shower seal and then caulk it up again. Thankfully there is no damage underneath on the wall or mold.

I needed to repaint since we have to change out a vanity, sink, and countertop and I'm removing the old banjo style countertop. Redo some trim and restain the medicine cabinet and I should be good to go.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/27/21 10:40 PM

I'm almost done scraping the old grout out. I have about a 3 by 5 section left. Then clean up, re-mortar the soap dish, let it dry for a day then regrout, seal then calk it all up. LOL, It sounds real easy. The hardest part may be letting her use our shower for the 7 days it takes to cure.

I'm probably going to let the wife paint. That's my least favorite thing. Plus Dr's won't let me get on a ladder for at least another month. So I have a built-in excuse.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 01/28/21 10:18 PM

Well like things often do, my project just turned bigger.

The vanity I bought looks like it got tagged with a forklift. Box looked fine interior was crushed. I went back to the store and was lucky they had an intact replacement. Pulled the old vanity and holy mother of shortcuts. Whoever redid the bathroom last time should be flogged. They literally put a subfloor and linoleum over the actual subfloor and linoleum. They didn't bother to do the whole floor but left a cutout of the vanity. So I now get to redo the floor. Someone left part of some hideous wallpaper behind the vanity and under the old banjo counter. Now I have to remove all of that before I can retexture and paint the bathroom. It could be worse but I'm not a flooring guy so I'm going to have to bring in some expertise for the flooring.

LOL, it's why normal people continue to distrust the media. That guy represents Christians just as much Falun Gong represents Buddism.

I don't think anything is going to change anytime soon. The left seems to be more anti-religion and will constantly attack those of faith. Those of faith look at a large part of the left as their polar opposites.

The middle majority gets hosed because the media paints with a broad brush. The media seems more like propaganda than news and it has been for a while. It's just becoming very flagrant. I'm surprised anyone buys into it but I think not as many people like to think for themselves anymore and dig no further than a headline.

I was watching cartoons with my kid and there were definitely political statements made during commercials for the station. One was enough for my kid to look at me for a reaction because she wasn't happy about it. I'm glad she is smart enough to see when she is being misguided.

Unfortunately, it's something that's being forced down our throats as an agenda. We have all heard if you tell a lie often enough and loud enough people will believe it.

I really miss being given information and then making up my mind how I felt about it.

The "dumbing down" of American students is scary! I have a nephew, a college graduate and fairly successful business person, once state that he got all his news from watching Steven Colbert! My brother and I started "educating" him on the spot, and I believe we turned him around. I don't think kids are actually stupid, they are just a product of ill informed parents and the American "educational system" that wants to erase American history and replace it with socialist globalism.

I think they are pretty bright. But most aren't being taught critical thinking skills. Even at my kid's school, it's a fair statement to say indoctrination is going on in the classroom. Even online. I have witnessed it a few times. I want them to get an education. Not having a teacher try to instill values that are a direct contradiction to our values.

The snowstorm was not near as bad as the 12-14 inches with widespread power outages that they predicted. We got about 6 or 7 and the power stayed on. My wife easily handled shoveling the snow but I made her come inside when the wind was gusting about 35 mph. I didn’t want her to lose the shovel to a gust of wind. After a couple of cups of tea and a small glass of brandy, she was fine.

Whew. Man that would have been a disaster if she had lost the shovel Ray. You did real good by making her come inside. Next time though she needs to tie a rope to it and herself. That way if anything happens you won’t have maker buy a new shovel, thereby loosing time from clearing the snow..

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/03/21 05:18 AM

I had a great day. Took the new rig up to the mountains and hit some trails. Nice and warm (for Winter in the Rocky's) 50's.

Some Snow a little mud and a lot of rocks.

I took it to a place where I used to go ATVing and take my jeeps.

This thing absolutely blew me away. The ATVs nor the Jeep can hold that candle to this thing on the trails. And I was taking it very easy. I used to have a very well built Jeep CJ7 and I would have had a much harder time and gone much slower than this rig.

But more than that it was nice to get out and actually do something and get a chance to relax in the mountains. It was good for the soul.

And 10 minutes from Blaine Washington .. if we can ever cross again.. they actually have conjugal tents set up down at one of the parks for coupples stuck on either side.. how messed up is that.. heard no mentions of quarantines being enforced after either !!

GREAT news. Missouri is about to bring forth a bill making it part of our state constitution (I think) making it against state law for an public official and law enforcement to enforce or assist “the feds” to enforce ANY kind of law restricting the 2A. This also includes Ammo, firearms, magazines and other “accessories” associated with firearms.

Missouri HB 85 and SB 39.

Man it would be nice!

There is a clause in the U.S. constitution that states that federal law takes precedence over state law. I believe there was a war fought to establish that also.

Can you say ERPO? Extreme Risk Protection Order, or the infamous and dreaded “Red Flag” laws. So Dawgs, be VERY careful talking to your health care provider or basically anyone in the medical field about being depressed, angry or upset about something or someone. Cause if you do you can be easily deprived of your 2A rights. Heck this also applies to anyone living in your house!

Ray, you are thinking of the Supremacy Clause. But it does not apply to these types of laws. The Supremacy clause just says Fed Law Trumps state and local laws.

The Feds cannot force a State or Local agency to enforce Federal Laws. They are only sworn to enforce State and/or Local laws. In fact they cannot enforce federal Laws unless they are federally Deputized. All this lw would mean is that the locals won't enforce federal laws relating to that. It's legal and backed by case law.

Morning Yard!

Politics in the US is interesting. The Constitution is wonderful though. It prevents a lot of bad laws from taking hold.

I have testified before legislation at a state level several times and spent far more time in the Capitol than I cared for. I was pretty shocked at the blatant political Graft that occurs right in the open in the common areas. Lobbyists are the bane of our political system. I lost a lot of respect for some politicians that I thought I knew. I can't imagine how bad some of them are. I have sat down for hours answering questions drafting ideas and laws to deal with the scourge of Meth labs we had years ago. I will say it was worth it. Labs are down to an almost non-existent level here due to those laws and a few other circumstances that came together. I didn't get everything I wanted but people shouldn't be moving into a known lab location without warning. If they are there is recourse now.

Now that you mention it, I recall that in those teleconferences that I have had during the past year from two of my doctors, that I have been asked if I was depressed or upset about anything. I don’t recall ever being asked that before. Interesting. Luckily I am always in a jovial mood, but according to my wife, sometimes a bit sarcastic.

That clause also stipulates that judges must follow federal law. Could the federal government flood the state with federal agents and possibly National Guard troops all crying about “sedition” to enforce the law? Naw, couldn’t happen.

I had to go find more e-trac. It's not as easy to find here and I cleared out a harbor freight of everyone they had.

I got a call from the VA yesterday asking if I was wanting the shot. Told them no. Same for the flu shot. Hen I took the flu shot I was always “not feeling well” for a few days. Since I stopped taking the flu shot I’ve not been sick with flue like symptoms. Even the COVID was less (for me) than I had the regular flu.

It was a nice day here. Sunny and low 50's.

I didn't get out to enjoy it though. We made a quick trip to Lowes for moving boxes and paint. I moved everything out of the living room. We painted the living room and I refurbed the trim in another room. Patched up some nail holes and some damage from the dogs nails by the back door. A little spackle and orange peel texture and we are back in business. Hit up a few other spots as well since we will be painting that room next. I got my taxes finished and electronically filed.

Now to kick back and watch The Naked Gun 33 1/3rd and have a glass of bourbon.

I'm in the same boat. Election after election the morons in state keep electing stupider and stupider officialls. The woman who represents my district at the county board won her seat ONLY because she was made famous for losing her job as a government contactor after flipping off President Trump. That passes for "qualifications"...

Morning Yard!

It's dang cold here. A balmy 6 degrees when I started the coffee. We got some unexpected snow as well.

I'm pretty stoked though. I'm scheduled to get my knee brace in today. That one has been an ordeal. I was injured a lot worse than they originally thought and will require a custom brace to do anything fun. Unfortunately, it's a lifetime need. I was supposed to have had it right after Christmas but dealing with workers comp is never simple.

LOL, I'm really looking forward to being able to do more than walk on a flat even surface.

If we get what they are claiming starting Sunday we will wind up with 4-8 inches of snow on top of this frozen sleet.

Woke up to sunny Zero degrees F today. We have family in town so we are going to get some lunch with them. I put a pot of chili on for dinner tonight. I'm just going to relax indoors for a bit tonight.

Last night it was pretty cold and my sister in law backed into my wife's car and shattered both bumpers/covers. I'm not sure there would have been as much damage to either car had it been warmer.

Might be a small pet but shes part of the family.. she just survived a massive surgery last year having tumours removed and her cage mate/sister passed away just before that. Shes a trooper and a crazy little thing i really hope she pulls through this one our vet wont be back in untill tuesday (stupid BC family day holiday )LOL .

Not much snow but it's cold. They keep dropping the expected low. Now it's at -20f. I'm glad I plugged in the block heater on my Diesel. Keep the snow machine if you use it. It seems quality machines are harder to come by. Especially ones you can work on yourself without a computer.

It's a regular heatwave this morning. It's 22 degrees. I'm grateful my wife's car and my truck started up with no issues this morning. It was -16 last night. The block heater on the truck worked better than I remembered. My grid heater didn't need to warm up to start it up. It usually does if it's in less than 40 outside. I'm hoping that's the last of that kind of cold for the year.

I don't know about modern homes but growing up in the south, heating was an afterthought in many homes. We had an old wood stove on one house and none until we installed a wood stove in another house. Neither had ducts. You either found a spot a reasonable distance from the stove or set a box fan to push air into other rooms.

I remember waking up early to stoke the fire and falling asleep on the floor in front of the stove just to be warm for a bit before walking to school.

I know they cut electricity to a lot of homes in Texas last night and people aren't really equipped to deal with it.

A chilly start to the day. 6 degrees. But it is supposed to get into the mid 40's so I'll take it. More fun and games with PT and Dr's appointments. Then I need to load up a trailer and make a run to the landfill to get rid of some stuff.

I wish there was a place locally that I could sell books. We literally have a small library and we aren't taking most of it with us. I'm not sure if our library system takes donated books.

NICE Scott T88. I have two and that Gigantic CS Polypropylene one. Now if you want a club that is the one to get. It’s big and it’s heavy and I think you could knock out a Water Buffalo with it.

Afternoon Yard!

The weather is pretty decent. The sun is out and it's at least 40. I finally got my Hipsled/Hacksquat sold and out of the house along with about 500lbs of Olympic plates sold. I still have about 380 lbs of plates that I want to sell.

I'm only keeping about 450 in plates. That should be more than enough to keep me in shape.

I finally got my knee brace in. I'm pretty happy about it. I should be able to start going for walks as soon as the ice clears up. It's going to take a bit of time but I'll get back into a shape other than round.

The brace is full on modern Forest Gump though. It does the trick though.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 02/21/21 08:03 PM

I'm trying to bounce back from a series of injuries at work. One took my lower back out but I have since recovered. The other a few weeks later did some serious injury to a knee. In fact, I think the only thing left intact was PCL and MCL. Everything else was either torn, broken, or severed. It turns out that would have been a career ender, had I not chosen to retire. I'm still not recovered enough to have been released back to work and likely won't be until mid March. I'll be lucky to get 80% recovery and thats not looking good.

But with a gimp brace, I can do most things without the grinding popping and associated pain. But almost 9 months of inactivity has taken a toll. Weight gain and loss of muscle mass is going to take time to reverse. I'll get there but I literally have to walk before I can run. I'm hoping by summer I will hit some mid term goals for fitness.

Back in the day, I was a pretty competitive amateur in the highland/Strong Man Games. I just sold off a good portion of my weights since we are moving and it's unlikely I'll be lifting crazy heavy weight anymore. I'm going to ease into the freakish Oldman strength category.

The weather was great today. Got a steroid shot in the knee joint with some lidocaine to bring down some internal swelling. Too bad it's the wrong kind or I would lift like a mad man wink. Ended up restaining the lower cabinets in the kitchen before I got too sore. A big weather front is moving in. (Hey I can forecast the weather now wink . I'm guessing I'm going to be sore the next couple of days. Thankfully I only have little stuff left to do. The bathroom remodel is done, livingroom remodel is done. The ceiling is repaired in the basement from a water leak and replaced a couple of sinks. We just need to do some spring cleaning and a few minor repairs and paint the rest of the kitchen. After we put up home decore we are ready to go.

I needed to remodel the bathroom since whoever did the floor did a hack job and it ended up ruining a cabinet. The other stuff was more of an I wanted to do it. Besides carpet, it was almost all sweat equity. I really want to put down a big chunk on my next house. Paying cash would be my goal but the market has gone up where I'm moving so I'm hoping to at least keep the mortgage short and low monthly cost.

Interesting. (News article Taken from the Epoc times).

House Democrats’ Attempt to Pressure TV Carriers Could Trigger Lawsuit: Dershowitz
BY ZACHARY STIEBER February 27, 2021 Updated: February 27, 2021 biggersmaller Print
The attempt by several House Democrats to pressure television carriers to deplatform certain news organizations could trigger a lawsuit, law professor Alan Dershowitz said Saturday.

“When the First Amendment says Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, it’s been interpreted to mean, take no action, it doesn’t have to be law. The First Amendment applies to presidents to governors to mayors to anybody who can abridge the freedom of speech. And I think these letters abridge the freedom of speech,” Dershowitz said during an appearance on Newsmax TV.

Reps. Jerry McNerney (D-Calif.) and Anna G. Eshoo (D-Calif.) sent a dozen letters to 12 different carriers this week urging them to deplatform or otherwise take action against Fox News, Newsmax, and One America News for allegedly spreading misleading information about the Jan. 6 Capitol breach and the COVID-19 pandemic.

They pointedly asked the carriers if they were planning on carrying the networks “both now and beyond any contract renewal date.”

“That’s not a question. That’s a threat,” Dershowitz said. “And that comes within the First Amendment, and I think there is room for a potential lawsuit for declaratory judgment at least, saying that Congress has no authority to tell or suggest or imply to cable operators that they should take people off the air as the result of content. That would violate the First Amendment.”

The offices of Eshoo and McNerney haven’t returned requests for comment.

Epoch Times Photo
They sent letters to AT&T, Verizon, Roku, Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Charter Communications, Dish Network, Cox Communications, Altice USA, Google’s parent company Alphabet, and Hulu.

The letters were sent in advance of a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing titled “Fanning the Flames: Disinformation and Extremism in the Media.”

Eshoo told the hearing that the First Amendment “prohibits Congress from enacting laws abridging the freedom of speech, and I’m an ardent supporter of it.

“It does not, however, stop us from examining the public health and democratic implications of misinformation,” she added.

Lawmakers heard from Emily Bell, director of the Tow Center for Digital Media at Columbia University, who claimed that Newsmax and One America News “showed themselves willing to continue to repeat false narratives about the legitimacy of the election result.”

They also listened to Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor, who called the deplatforming push similar to the “Red Scare” seen during the Cold War, when anyone suspected of being communist sympathizers were targeted.

Ranking Member Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) criticized the letters as an attack on the First Amendment.

“Anyone who values free speech and a free press should be alarmed by these actions today,” she said. “It’s an attack on the First Amendment when public officials use their power to coerce private companies to censor and silence viewpoints they don’t agree with.”

Morning. I miss my garage and yard.. but SO nice to be living above ground with windows and ocean view. Walked twoods down to the beach lastnight. I really hope all the new development in this old town doesnt make it even worse and touristy in the summer. Not much of the old town left.. when i grew up here everyone knew everyone and it was really far out of the way of every other municipality with lots of farmland seperating it. Off to the old place to finish up repairs and a dump run. Always try to leave things in better shape than when i arrived. (Key word it try) grin this place will look 100x better then when we moved in thats forsure

We had a blast. It was the runts first time in a SxS. She is hooked. I let her drive for a little while. She didn't drive for as long as I thought she would. I think she wanted me to drive so we could go fast over whoops and some of the other areas.

It's supposed to be really nice today mid 50's. Which should make it much easier to shovel out from all the snow last night.

LOL, I'm not sure the snow will melt enough to hook up the hoses to clean off my SxS today. I have a bad CV boot from the factory and don't want to drop it off to the dealership covered in mud. That and I need to fix a flat tire. Either some cactus spines made it through the tire from when I was in the high desert or I picked up something on the trails this week.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/06/21 09:54 PM

Afternoon!

It's sunny and warm today. I decided to try out a foam cannon on my pressure washer for cleaning up the muddy RZR. I'm pretty impressed. It did great job and the thing looks darned near showroom new. Washed the wife's car on one of the trailers with the extra soap in the foam cannon. I need to use a lot less than what I started with.

I found the leak in one of the tires. I was surprised, it is a stick a little smaller than a pencil, and the tire sealed around it pretty well. It took until today to go full flat ( had to have picked it up Wednesday). I'm lucky it was dead center of the tread. I'll take it in the get patched rather than plug it myself.
Posted By: Private Klink

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/07/21 01:19 AM

Good that it wasn't something more serious with the tire. I'm curious, what is a foam cannon? I have a pressure washer that uses a small nozzle for soap.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/07/21 02:12 AM

The foam cannon reminds me of the fertilizer canisters that you stick on a garden hose. It's just a canister that you add thick soap to and it attaches to your pressure washer wand and shoots a thick soap foam onto your car/truck and you can adjust the thickness etc.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/07/21 02:49 PM

That's not my truck, just a stock photo from the net. But the concept is the same. The soap loosens the dirt and makes it slicker and less likely to scratch and swirl the paint. I like it because it really soaks the surface and gets that stubborn red mud stains to where it just wipes off easily.

Morning Yard!

I ended up helping out my inlaws this morning. My sister in law got stuck with a couple of dogs from her turd daughter. She agreed to watch them for several months but doesn't have a fenced-in yard or a kennel. We have both at our place so we tore down the large kennel and my wife and her sister drove it down on a trailer this morning. My BIL has Parkinsons pretty bad and can't really keep up. Luckily it's a steel panel kennel and goes up pretty easy.

Back to cleaning up the garage and I have to move several dressers and a TV stand out to the garage. We are donating them to a womans shelter. A friend of ours does the remodels on them and they always need furniture. They are nice enough to come pick them up from us. I was willing to deliver them but I don't think they're ready to move furniture in just yet.

I've had about all the fun I can stand today. But the garage/shop is looking better. I packed up a bunch of my hand/power tools and ended up fixing some fence. The same guy/company did our fence, same as the original. This one definitely isn't the same quality of materials as the old one. Thinner pickets and they used nails instead of screws plus the screws they did use aren't holding up. I have spent more time fixing this one during the past year than the other one over 15 years time. And it was up before we moved in.

They don't plow our neighborhood. At least the only time they did was back when one of the drivers knew there was a bunch of Firemen, Police, and Deputies that lived on our street. He would plow when it was bad so we could get to work. But he has been gone for at least 10 years. I miss that guy.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/13/21 07:15 PM

Our snowstorm has started. About 12 hours early. If how this one is starting is an indication, we are in for a lot of snow. It's heavy and wet and not really melting as it should. If we get the predicted 36 to 48 hours of this the region will be shut down until the middle of next week. As heavy and wet as this is we are going to lose some trees and limbs. That means power outages and shortages.

Thankfully we are ahead of the game and prepared as much as we can be. We don't need to be anywhere until next Thursday. I have the plow set up on one of the ATV's, enough fuel to run the generator for a couple of days if it comes down to it. I do wish I had some more wood, but we don't use it to heat much and I didn't cut any last year since we were planning on having moved already. I have about 1/4 of a cord.

Snow wasn't too bad. We got about a foot of snow last night. In theory we are due for another wave of snow. I'm going to go clear the driveway again before round 2.

Snow is still coming down and the wind is causing some decent drifts. I have shoveled the drive twice and plowed it twice. It looks like I'll have to plow at least once more today and then plow and shovel tomorrow morning. But I'm ahead of the curve I would have had 4-foot drifts across the driveway if I hadn't cleared out the drive.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 03/15/21 02:15 AM

Lots of snow and drifts but it's not too bad as long as I keep up on it. If I didn't I'm pretty sure we would have a 4 feet high drift that was at least 15 feet long across the whole driveway. We have some healthy drifts all over our property. The dogs are loving it. We probably got 16 to 18 inches of snow since yesterday morning. It should stop sometime late tonight.

It wasn't too bad. We stayed warm, dry, and ate well. We got lucky and missed the power outages, so far. I stayed on top of the snow removal on our property, so cleanup tomorrow shouldn't be a big deal. I may end up having to plow the road or at least a lane. I'll probably help out some of the neighbors as well.

Denver is a different story. They don't prepare and they don't have the space to push the snow. So it affects them much worse than us. But they got some snow.

Happy St Patricks day!

What are your plans for the day?

We are having my wife's family over for my typical St Paddy's meal tonight. I have had 3 corned beef roasts on since 4 am and a boatload of potatoes. I firmly believe they have to cook at least 10 hours to be at their best and 12 is better. I'll throw some cabbage on top a couple of hours before dinner and then make a few loaves of soda bread to round it out.

My sister in law was trying to pay me to cook her some. I just had her drop off her slow cooker and she can bring it back with a whole roast and potatoes after dinner. It's got to be the easiest meal to make but she swears hers is no good.

We are in the home stretch for getting our house ready for the market. I'm steam cleaning a good portion of the house today once the rain and snow start. Until then I'm going to work on cleaning up the back yard and deciding what parts of our container garden is going with us and what we are giving away or taking to the dump.

Then we get to "stage" rooms. LOL, that's not my strong point. God never intended me to be an interior decorator. I'm trying to figure out how to camouflage my ammo cans to keep snowflakes and the curious eyes averted.

Morning Yard!

Looks like it's going to be a nice sunny day here. Looks like round 2 of garage cleanup. I was tossing some warped lumber into a roll off dumpster and saw that mice had set up shop behind my kayaks in the garage. So I'm moving them out and cleaning that mess up. I despise mice. It should be nice enough to clean everything out pressure wash it then hit it with some bleach. I'm impressed though. The little SOB's stayed out of sight and made a huge nest/mess completely hidden by one kayak and a slab of wood. I never saw it until I started moving stuff around yesterday.

As long as they are pet rats and not in my house they are fine.

Rats and mice in the wild are automatically fair game for death here. Aside from peeing and pooping on everything I have a special hatred for mice. We just shot rats on the farm. They will bite the teats off a cow, kill chicks and destroy grain bags and hay.

Years ago I was working an unattended death and had to keep a constant watch over a guys body who had died mowing a field. Before the coroner could get there mice had been taking chunks out of the guy. He looked like a small pox victim after the mice got too him. They were bold and when I would run one off, others would come in to take a bite.

If I find evidence of a mouse in the garage I will set out an insane amount traps to get them as fast as possible. Thankfully they stay out of the house.

I always break it down like this when people look at all rats as gross or whatever... its like comparing your best friend to a terrorist or diddler becasue were all the same species.. wild rats in your house are intruders and need to be dealt with accordingly smile

Personally I can’t see pet rats or mice, FOR ME. But the non gray ones, yeah I can see an allure to them and like I said the “colored” ones are OK.

Afternoon yard!

It's a wet and snowy day here. But I'm almost getting things done today. They finally picked up the roll-off from my driveway. 5 days late but they got it. I ran all over town today looking for a very specific weight distributing hitch and got skunked. I try to buy local but ended up getting one online since no one local had one or could guarantee the one they could order would work. At least I was able to save some cash but I try to support local businesses.

Spent the rest of the time trying to find a convertible hand truck. I have seen them everywhere and waited until I needed them to buy one. Just my luck, all out of stock everywhere local. So now I get to wait until they have that in stock. Hopefully, it's not on the evergreen. wink

Morning yard!

I'm starting to load up the trailer with our packed boxes to get it out of the house. Hopefully, I can find a storage unit that I can get this giant trailer into to offload it. I just found out storage units are a hot commodity right now.

I have to figure out how I'm going to pack the V-nose part with boxes. I like the extra room but I'm going to have to Tetris this one. I'm using all the same size boxes except a few small heavy boxes with books and such.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 04/01/21 08:36 PM

My wife has had both her knees replaced. It was definitely worth it. Physical therapy was not a whole lot of fun for her. She had the first one in her early 30's and the second in her late 40's.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 04/01/21 08:56 PM

Skunk fall down go boom.

Took our Granddaughter out to eat for her birthday, So far so good.

She wanted Chinese so off to Yummy Buffet we go. Finally found a parking spot, still a go for munchies.
Kids got out, G’ma got out, no worries. G’pa got a foot out, looking forward to Mongolian beef and calamari. TRIED to get the other foot out and got toes caught on the door sill. Fall down on ROUGH asphalt, sliding down on my left forearm. Yup, severe road rash from wrist to elbow.

With Blood running down my arm, I grabbed a couple paper towels (don’t everybody carry some?) walked in to the bathroom (Wasn’t gonna let a few liters of blood ruin her birthday). And finally got the river plugged up enough so it wouldn’t drip out all over the buffet tables.

Got back to everybody and one of the checkout girls that saw me come in brought Patty three of those wide 2 inch bandaids. She got them applied to the worse three places and then a good meal was had by all.

Out of sympathy Patty let me have an egg roll, some crab Rangoon, shrimp and black peppered chicken. Maybe I need to fall down more often. grin So my fellow dogs, as everyone can plainly see it was the as fault. wink

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 04/03/21 01:35 AM

LOL, I'm a tired boy tonight. Finished loading up the trailer and my wife had loaded up a bunch of totes and most of them probably didn't weigh 5lbs. I had already loaded the front of the trailer with boxes and the light stuff (totes) went in the back and over the axles. The tongue weight was way off. Probably 1000lbs too much. So I got to unload the trailer and redistribute the weight. I got it pretty close to where I think it should be. I need to go by a commercial scale and see what the actual trailer weight is. I'm hoping it's under my max weight for the trailer. I should have a bit over 6700lbs that I can carry with it.

Then off to unload it at a storage place so we can move easier.

We won't have a whole lot left in the house and truthfully I wouldn't miss 60% of what we packed in the storage unit but my wife can't bear to leave it. Mostly sentemental/ historical family stuff.

Maybe a second round of selling off stuff when we get to the next house. I'm kind of liking not having a whole lot of stuff in the house.

Patty had severe foot pain Sunday. Couldn’t hardly walk!, matter of fact she almost fell. Went to the ER checked her out and said to come back Monday (yesterday) for an ultrasound. She had been off her anticoagulant meds for about 2 weeks for another procedure, and since she has chronic clots... Yup you guessed it, ANOTHER blood clot in her bad leg. They are doubling up on her Xarelto for 3 weeks to hopefully get rid of it. Here we go again.

Good Morning Yard!

A chilly start to the day. I have errands to run this morning. I need to get the oil changed in my truck as well as the fuel filter. This ones going to be expensive. Regular maintenance on diesel trucks isn't cheap. 13 quarts of oil ends up costing a whole lot.

Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 04/15/21 06:40 PM

The oil change wasn't bad. Only 90 bucks (for a diesel that's very reasonable). The fuel filter ended up being expensive. Right at 200 bucks. The drain valve was bad and had to be replaced and they charged me an insane amount for the fuel filter. But it's done.

I typically do most of the maintenance myself. But I don't have any of my drain bins or drip pans. Thye are all in storage

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 04/15/21 08:41 PM

I absolutely love y diesel truck. But while there is less maintenance (kinda) it does cost more if you don't do it yourself. The fuel filter usually doesn't run that much. But if that was it for an 11 year old truck I'll take it.

Question. Patty said she wish we Gould get a side by side. Nothing fancy, just something to run around town, maybe out to fetch groceries and gravel roading looking for rocks. I figure nothing less than a 500 ish size engine. Been researching Honda Pioneer 520 and some others up to 700 size. Y’all got any thoughts on a mainly recreational rig? We don’t need all the bells and whistles just something sorta basic. Don’t care what brand as long as it is reliable.
Posted By: Private Klink

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 04/16/21 02:01 PM

Good morning Yard. smile A side by side would be a nice way for you and Patty to spend some time outdoors together, and they are handy as well. Plus, you will be one of the "cool kids". smile
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 04/16/21 02:42 PM

As far a side by sides go there are a ton of choices. Width 50 inch so you can ride on trails, then they go up 60, 64, 68 and 72 inch widths, They have 3 main types. Work, work and play, and pure sport. And crossovers for all of them.

The Honda Pioneer is a solid UTV and will get you most places but it is mostly a field and dirt road workhorse with a bench seat, The Can Am Defenders are really nice as well and The Yamaha Viking is similar but with enough differences that they are both worth looking at. The Polaris 570 Rzr is a solid little trail machine.

Once you get into the work and play models I think Can Am and Polaris stand out above the rest.

Figuring out what you want it to do and how wide you want it to be is the hard part. Each has its bonuses and minuses. The narrow ones run trails like a champ but are more tippy and cramped. The wider you go the more stable and roomy but the more limited you are on trails.

The other thing you have to do is look ar what it takes in your State/county to be legal to ride on roads. Some places it's strictly forbidden outside of forest service roads and others are pretty friendly if you get turn signals a horn and DOT tires.

I have been an ATV guy for nearly 30 years. I picked up a Side by Side and my wife absolutely loves it. I have to admit I'm a pretty huge fan as well. I like the comfort and abilities the machine offers. I'll keep the ATV's for small trails and use the UTV for everything else.

Nope, not a NATO mission. Here as part of the United nation MINUSMA thing...but will be pointless like Iraq and Afgahnistand. in the end it all will just be a big waste of money and couple of years after the western world leaves it will be all the same...

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 05/06/21 04:36 AM

Well, Y’all know I am a big fan of the Karambit blade style, the hooked blade and the ring. I have several, 6 if memory serves, and my fave is a total piece of Chinese junk. Course it was only $12.00 but I expected it to at least hold an edge through a piece of typing paper. Nope, can’t even get it sharp enough to make just one clean cut. Why is it my fave you ask, well…

It is what I call a three finger Karambit. Meaning (in the traditional Karambit hold with the point down and facing outward) your second finger goes through the ring and the rest wrap around the handle, whereas on a traditional one, your index finger goes through the hole. Plus it is shorter than a traditional one. Thereby making it easier to conceal.

As I said, we shall see.

I just fired off a letter with a design for a three finger Karambit to a custom maker today. Probably never happen, but without hope we might as well let them win. NEVER give up. Remember “The last great Act of Defiance” from the 70’s? Lived there, had the T-shirt. grin

I'm hoping fuel prices don't jump too high. Diesel isn't cheap and towing a big trailer across the windiest part of Wyoming should be good for single-digit mileage.

I remember back in the 70’s diesel was quite a bit cheaper than regular gas. My how things have changed. When fewer people used it diesel was cheaper. Now that a lot more folks use it they’ve jacked up the prices.

Diesel goes through phases sometimes it's cheaper bur right now it's more expensive. Odd since it's a byproduct.

We got a contract on the new place. I just have to get a contract on my house in the next 7 days to seal the deal.

You’re out, did your time and they are still all over your asterisk. That’s one of the reasons I just see them enough to keep my name in the hat.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 05/21/21 02:11 PM

The VA does odd things. Some good some bad. I haven't been able to figure them out at all. I know once my Dad started going to civilian Doc his health went way up. Tri-Care civilian Dr's beat out the regular VA Dr's by a mile. I honestly don't think he would be alive if he had stuck with the VA. He has some pretty serious health issues and has made an amazing recovery this past year.

Other than that I have at least one more day of being booted from my own house left. The buyers are doing their inspection today. Wish us luck. It's probably the last hurdle we have to move forward on both contracts.

LOL, I am glad my wife checked the kid's room. I don't know what she did but her room reeks this morning.

I GOT CRABS.... I mean the season is here ! I didnt get any good pictures on the water but my 511 worked perfect to probe these big creatures into good postitions to snatch from the traps and chop our chicken up to re bate the them. My 11 y/o daughter had a blast and was eager to get her hands on them as soon as the traps got pulled up, she also wanted to kill the catches but even with the mighty Alpha Regulator it takes some serious muscle to cut them clean in half .When we got them home the AR9.5 humanely split the fresh crabs as mentioned to make for easy cleaning and cooking. The woman took it from there with the fried asparagus and mashed potatoes all smothered in garlic butter of course with a nice wine and crepes for desert, a great reward to all the work put in today. Ill get some nice pics out on the sea nextime forsure.. Couldnt be more proud of my kid today, i envision alot of crabs in our big pot in the next cpl months !!

Don’t like doing it on Sunday, but got the yard all mowed and trimmed up. It needed it, had to cut it a notch higher and still almost had to bale it.

I'm glad but my lender keeps pushing my closing on the new house back. We had planned it to close 2 days after we sold this one. That would give us enough time to drive and close. I may be homeless for a bit over a week.

I'm taking one more load up this week to get stuff into storage in case we can't close on time.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 06/02/21 03:21 PM

OK, I had a eureka moment. A year or so ago I bought a mini-bugout folder from a company that has a butterfly as part of their logo, and at the time they only came with white handles. confused Weird, everyone was saying, including the Ole Skunk.

Well I finally figured it out. whistle It was a way of getting their “digs” in on the crazy left wingers without offending a large part of their customer base. OK, follow along with me here. We have already established that you could have any color handle you wanted as long as it was white. grin

Here is why they went with white handles. White is the color of what, SNOW! OK you say, so what. Well to be more specific, SNOW FLAKES!!! Get it. A Snowflake knife. I still use the term Sheeple, because folks look at me like, huh? Then I get to tell them all about that term.

I think I like snowflake better, because what happens to a snowflake? It transforms from something fluid, able to merge into something much larger yet remain true to it’s own unique make up. Then becomes something frozen, set into something that will not change until the conditions around it do. Then what happens when a little heat is applied? It melts, it breaks down giving up it’s fragile state of being once again turning into a fluid state able to once again become part of something worth drinking. Don’t drink Slushies, drink cool clear water, going with the flow of what is good for us, not freezing us into a state of being unable to change into someone that actually thinks about what is right and just.

Well Dogs, there you have it, the true easy to understand hidden reason for the white handles.

Don’t be a white handle. grin

Morning!

It's supposed to be warm and dry the rest of the week. Well, darned hot for the Mountain West. A mild simmer for those of you in the South. I did pick up a couple of portable AC units since the new place doesn't have AC and they have been in a heat wave. I'm betting there aren't to many units left on the shelves there at the moment.

I'm loading up the Uhaul for the final move out today and tomorrow and then we will be on the road for a few days. I'll probably be away for a bit until we can get closed on our new place and moved in.

Have fun and stay safe!

Word to the wise. If you have a gun safe in your basement just pay to have someone move it out for you. 2 friends, myself, and a climbing hand truck managed it but it wasn't pretty. That one only weighed 650 lbs but it was a bear.

I had to do it at the end of the day because the rental company forgot to charge the battery. Not fun with 3 guys that were already tired.

What Tom said, but different. Got MY ALL TIME GRAIL knife Monday.
https://www.pinkertonknives.com/product-page/the-active-response-karambit-a-r-k

Tried for 4 or 5 years. Couldn’t find one for sale any where. Finally figured out how to contact the designer and sent him an e-mail explaining my quest. He e-mailed me back saying he might be able to help me and asked for my snail mail address. Well I thought, right I will probably never hear from him, or at best a contact for getting one of the knives. About a month (I think) later I got a package from him with both the trainer and live blade inside! It is like he took a measure of my hand when he designed them. I am still in cloud 9.


This one just shows how you can maintain possession of the knife in different situations and doing different tasks along with an explanation of the knife. The pics will advance on their own.

It's going to be on the warm side here also. I really need to get AC in the new place. It's just not normally this hot here. There aren't any heating vents so it's an odd setup for AC and it's not cheap.

MB. When I was there we used a “swamp cooler”. I guess they’re rightly called evaporative air coolers or something. Course the humidity has to stay retry low for them to work well. Military housing at Reese AFB had them as well, course this was back in the late 70’s

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 06/18/21 03:55 PM

I have a couple of portable in-room AC units for the bedrooms. So sleeping isn't an issue and there are some really nice ceiling fans so it's bearable. With as much construction as there is I'll be surprised if we get AC before the fall. Right now we are opening the windows at night and closing everything up before it gets too warm. It's worked ok on a few 97 degree days.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 06/19/21 06:25 PM

Anyone able to tell me what the scoop is on the scrapivores. Ive been carrying my dc finish (what i thought was an) LE daily for a few weeks now. I also have a cg coated with the hole and prybar pommel. I noticed in the origional offering thread the LEs were said to have the prybar end and mines got no prybar or lanyard hole, i read these came from a later grab bag .. sso is it still a LE variant with the 62-64rc or the standard 60rc.. anyone else have one or can chime in ?

TW88. according to the specs thread, the 2010 scrapavore LE was done in a Satin finish and did not have a hole near the pry bar end.

Randy sorry to hear that. Hopefully being vaccinated it will lessen the severity.

My honey-do list at the new house is even bigger than the last. But it's simple stuff that looks hard so I get extra credit wink Installing new verticle and horizontal blinds. Assembling accent furniture that she bought that should have come assembled but didn't since it was drop shipped. Installing a few new light fixtures and switching the front and side exterior lights to dusk til dawn lights. I prefer motion lights but they looked way too cool to remove and replace with expensive but inferior-looking replacements.

All we can do now I guess is pray and trust the medical industry to do it’s best job.

Prayers sent Randy, for you, your mom, and the whole family. It's never easy to see your mom in the hospital.
Posted By: DogTired

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 06/27/21 07:39 AM

Well, I guess it's easy to SEE her... Just go visit. It's just tough emotionally...

The last 12 hours I spent with my mom seems like an eternity that had been removed from time and space, just for us, and the rest of the world had simply fallen away. I still can't think about it without crying. Some moments were intense anguish--seeing my mother in so much pain, not knowing what was going to happen to her, learning she was not coming home from the hospital, watching my children say goodbye, saying goodbye myself--while some were incredibly sacred that I will treasure the remainder of my days.

I'd seen her in and out of hospitals before throughout my childhood.... unfortunately, much like my kids have seen me. I only live 7 hours from their place now, but she still wouldn't tell me any of the other times she went in during her last few years. She didn't want me to see her in there if she could help it.

Praying for whatever outcome she most desires, God's will to be done, and everyone to find the joy in whatever that is. Personally, I'm hoping you'll have another joy and memory-filled Christmas with her. smile

Thanks Joshua. She’s not in the hospital. They said they don’t need any COVID patients there and sent her back to the nursing home.

The next day one of the nurses called and talked about Mom’s condition and said she thought Mom needed Hospis care. Well we set that up yesterday day. Labored breathing, raspy lungs, coughing O2 in the 80’s… They moved her to the “COVID wing” and are doing their best.

Since she is COVID positive (and they have 4 other positive residents) they have closed down all visits again. All we can do is get updates from the staff when I call.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Coming from strangers (you know what I mean) it means a lot, and Patty has just been amazed at the sympathy Y’all have shown through this and other situations as well.

Thank you, Brothers from different mothers.

Evening Dogs!

This state continues to impress me. We just got back from taking the runt to her ATV safety course since she is now 16. It's free for anyone that registers for their OHV sticker. And they are half the price that my last state charged. Same thing with SxS courses. All free. They had this one at a local off-road race track.

Got the mowing done and pruned some branches that caused me grief. By the time I was done I could hardly stand ; the heat and strain got to me. I managed to get back to the house and get a little rest, but then had to hit the bathroom and puke in the toilet. Stripped down, took a cool shower, and went to bed for a few hours. Definitely not going to push it like that again!

He ran up the road and took a stand there it was pretty cool. He was a healthy one to say the least. My fullsize pickup fits on that road no problem for some size refrence.

I think my wife put one over on me. I took her to the doc for a colonoscopy this morning. When I picked her up, the first thing she said was that she had a doctor’s note saying she couldn’t do any yard work today. She saw me sharpening the 1311 and Busse HOGFSH yesterday.

It's supposed to be dang hot today. 100. It's also really hazy due to a big wildfire a ways away from us (Life in the West). If we have to have the haze hopefully it will cool it down a bit and maybe we won't hit 100 today.

Hey! It slices, it dices, (yeah it does hurt) it carves and cuts. This is pretty much a WS-1020 with a slightly dropped point, but boy does that make a difference. Dan was smart designing two very similar, yet completely different blades. IF I could only pick one for “outdoors use” it would be the 621. It should patina (my favorite finish) quite nicely.

To me, the WS is more of a skinner/slicer meat prep kind of blade. The 621 seems to be more of bushcraft/all around blade, able to do most anything you would need a knife for. As far as prying with it, it’ll probably hold up fairly well to some LIGHT prying, but I wouldn’t want to try and pry open a door with it. (That’s what the 311 is for). wink

I think WE could all be nicer people. I KNOW everyone of us is looking out for the community and friends. As a firefighter, EMT, Soldier, or "concerned Citizen". But I Know that I often get trapped by predjudices ect.
Having seen all these places where mostly religion created civil war I often wonder why we can not just see fellow people as human beings without Religion, Race, age, Sex etc and for the Religion Part, why people can't treat that as their Personal business without forcing anything on others or judging them...

Feerdle. I agree. But as long as one religion is determined to destroy another only because they are different, there will be no peace.

Personally, I do not agree with the philosophy of many religions. If they subscribe to an idea of live and let live, I have no problem with them and will do nothing to harm them. But, if they try to harm me or mine, Game On. Even if they are my own religion.

Welcome to the forum Beck.

I'm really liking this small town. They do a surprising amount of stuff here. I went to a antique plane show at the local airport. It was kinda neat. They had some cool old planes and did a few flyovers with bi-planes. They have at least one thing a week that I'm interested in seeing it attending.

G'day scrap yard.

Been a while since I have posted here, or anywhere for that matter. Still haven't gone belly up but have been out to the outback enjoying the peace and quite for a while.
I headed out to the corner country which is in my state of NSW, then a little bit of Queensland and South Australia without moving an inch, overall around 5000 kilometres. I did take a couple of knives, A Rat Daddy and a Dog Skinner, a couple of the early Rat knives,
Plenty of food and around 40 gallons of water just in case I had a breakdown with the old truck, it wasn't needed as the old girl never missed a beat. smile

I'd put a few picture up but I've forgotten the procedure, old age might have a little to do with that. I did get them up on photobucket they they have seemed to stop putting the completed addresses under the pics.

Ive had a few pals move down under and never return. The goon sacks were all the convincing they needed after grad.. some came home some i still havnt heard from almost over 15 years later. The thoght of all the small things that want to kill you in the outback freaks me out the most.. then the big predators come to mind. Im pretty content in my pnw forrests and deserts lol. We have lots of cougars and bears in the mountain ..and rattlesnakes and spiders in the desert (wich i rarely go) and thats IT lol. I much prefer the big animals i can see and hear haha

Yeah, but I'm not too sure about the treasure part. grin I'm still on the right side of the grass and spending my retirement camping on the rivers out west away from the towns and people.
I love being out in the red dirt country.

Cesar texts me every now and again, he's pretty busy these days and only lives about 100 miles south of me.

He has moved back north from down south and resumed pretty much from where left off. Still doing a few sheaths. He made me one for my D2 Dog Skinner, I'd show a picture if I ever get on top of photobucket again. I wonder why I let them charge me yearly when they seem to keep making the site more difficult. In the name of progress. grin

He's sheathes are remarkably good.

MB,
There's no secret for surviving in our bush, all you need to do is watch where your walking. My wife was bitten by a red belly black (luckily on the side of her boot) and that was because she doesn't watch where shde walks. grin
Same in the northern beaches, ya got to tread on them to get bitten. And never fish from the river banks, always stand back a bit, Those saltwater crocodiles tend to sneak up if you are close enough. grin

I thought the same thing way back in ‘80, but thankfully Military was exempt from the residency time period. At least that was what they told me at the MWR office on base where I got my license AND hunting license. BTW, how’s the Missus liking it?

From what I understand each state involved has to agree, and then the Feds have to sign off on it.
Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 07/23/21 02:28 PM

I'm reasonably sure it won't happen. Both states would lose too much tax base and it would really change how many representatives they have. It's too bad things have gotten that bad. Colorado voted for a similar thing to split up the state (basically get rid of the metro area) but it was stopped by the state before it got to the feds. A lot of states in the west are getting tired of getting ruled by a metro area instead of actually getting representation.

Mike. Patty and I are both on Social Security now. I am 67 while my young bride is a bubbly 65. She still has her serious health problems and every once in a while something new pops up.

Me, back is bothering me a lot more and they are telling me I need 2 more back surgeries. The good part is my surgeon says when I am ready to let him know. Until then he isn’t going to pressure me. I like that.

Trying to get as ready as we can for whatever “they” have coming down the pike. Resistance is not always futile. I have commented on their (ATF) site, and to my Federal senators and reps about the lying David Chipman and the atf trying to get gun parts classified as guns and all the rules and regulations that entails.

Other than that, we just watch our G’kids every other week. Pretty boring, but we’re old so what should we expect. wink

It's sunny, and should be a high temperature of about 104, here in Las Vegas.

I might take my beautiful bride up to Mount Charleston, today. It'll be cooler when we get up above 7 or 8 thousand feet. This will be the first time she'll have ever been on a really large mountain, and the first time she'll have ever been in a coniferous forest, as opposed to a hardwood forest.

I did take my wife up to Mt. Charleston, as discussed above. At about 8,000 feet, it was 73 degrees, with a gentle breeze. She loved being amidst big mountains for the first time, and she spun around and around photographing everything. She learned about all kinds of news things, such as Joshua trees, piñon pines, ponderosas, castilleja, etc. We had a great day.

I hope you all had a great day, too.

I have been having a problem with my hip the last week or two. A lot of pain and now I can’t sleep or move around much. I had an interesting conversation with my Doctor’s office yesterday. I described my problem and the person told me to come in for a visit. I told her that I couldn’t drive and could hardly walk. She then said I should get a ride from someone. I again told her that I could hardly walk so I couldn’t get out to a car. Then she told me that they couldn’t do anything for me and to call the Rescue to take me to the hospital and hung up. Quite rude I thought.

Randy, are you eating a keto diet?

Well MB, looks like you dodged another one by moving out of Kolorado. It seemed that the court has now reinterpreted a 2000 law and has now decreed that if you so much as hand someone a gun it is now officially a firearms transfer. It specifically states if you violate this law you are subject up to 6 years in a federal prison and a $500,000.00 fine.

You may have fractured something. It may be worth it to get an Ambli-Cab to take you to a Dr's visit to find out. If you're still hurting bad enough that you can't make it to get in a car it probably isn't something thats just going to go away.

I hadn’t thought of a fracture. That’s possible. I am going to talk to an actual doctor at his practice tomorrow and my health plan to see what I can do.

Thanks!

Great pic, MonkeyBomb!

I just bought a quarter cow—245 pounds of beef, plus free organs, bones, and fat. It's going to be delivered on August 6th.

By buying quarter or half cows, directly through the rancher, you can get the best prices on the best meat. We paid $4.60 per pound, for regeneratively raised, grass-fed, dry aged beef. Plus, you get it cut exactly the way you want it.

Of course, this only works if you eat a lot of meat, can afford to make a big purchase all at once, and have plenty of freezer space.

My wife and I are strict carnivores—which is to say that we only eat meat and animal-based foods (bone marrow, liver, heart, etc.). We don't eat any fruits, vegetables, tubers, grains, seeds, nuts, or anything else from plants. So, we go through a lot of meat.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 08/06/21 06:13 AM

I love food, too.

I didn't do it because I didn't like food. I did it to fix my health. (And then I discovered it has other benefits, too.)

I've been a strict carnivore for just under 3 years, now, and my taste buds have been trained to this diet. Big steaks drenched in butter are extremely satisfying for me, now.

Most people get away from here due to the damp environnent and what it does to the joints etc.. i love the damp or should i say my body does. The desert climates dry me right out
Posted By: Evolute

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 08/08/21 07:24 PM

I like hot, dry weather. I like feeling the sun's rays soaking into me. I like rarely feeling damp, because sweat evaporates instantly. I like not needing more than T-shirts and shorts, except on a handful of the coldest days of winter. I like hopping in the pool for a swim every day. That said, it doesn't necessarily need to be as extreme as it is here in Las Vegas.

I just moved from eastern Tenneessee a month ago, where it was super humid and damp all the time. It was also cold (for my tastes) most of the time, and too hot the rest of the time. There were only about two days in my year and a half in Tennessee when I thought the weather was actually pleasant. The humidity did indeed affect my joints negatively, but it did so much more than that. It was like living in a mold farm, and the mold didn't agree with me. I also didn't like constantly dealing with impending rust on everything I own.

That said, my wife is having a hard time dealing with the extreme heat and dryness. I guess it comes down to what you are used to and adapted for.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 08/08/21 08:00 PM

Very good call on the mold and issues that can cause, on the coast you sort of adapt and learn to beat it or your just a savage and live in it lol. As long as its able to breathe fresh air here most molds avoidable.. but it sure can destroy if its hidden

I spent about half my life living on the California coast (first in Santa Monica, then in Santa Cruz) and never had the kind of issues with humidity, my joints, and mold that I had in Tennessee. But I have seen some of those issues during my times around Portland, Oregon, and the Olympic Peninsula, in Washington. I guess because it gets more chilly and damp further North. I love those areas, but the weather up there isn't ideal for me.

Nice Twoody. Coin number 70 was Tyger75 JYD number. He is no longer with us. In his honor Dan made (I think) the only commemorative knife he has ever done for a Dogs Widow. He was in the Military if I remember correctly. Tom will know for sure about him
Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 08/13/21 12:13 AM

Twoody. I copied this from a post Tom made on 03/05/11 talking about Tyger75

Fellow Dogs, today I received a letter from Tyger75's sister, telling me that her brother Patrick Painter passed away last June in a house fire. Pat was a fellow Junk Yard Dog, in the Canadian military, and loved to visit the Yard when he could. He was delighted when I sold him a YKLE at show cost and included a sheath for him. I was surprised when sometime later I received an envelope with some very nice knife lanyards - his way of saying "thank you". We exchanged Christmas cards and I can tell you that he was a very nice person and a credit to the Yard. He will be greatly missed. frown

As much as i love this coin, never thought id snag one and doubt i will come across another any time soon.. id be willing to send it to his widow to accompany that blade if it has any centimental value there .

Skunk thanks for the backstory on # 70 i was going to offer it up to whoever was jyd70 in trade for the coin they have.

T-88, Dan Busse had them make a Regulator with some engraving on the blade. As I was the initial contact with his sister Kareen, Dan asked me to send it to her and family with respects from Busse and the Yard. I later received a letter from Karen thanking Busse, Dan, and the Yard for the respect we all showed to Pat. He had sent me a packet of knife lanyards as thanks for selling him a YKLE at cost and I included a sheath as well. I only kept one lanyard and sent the rest to his sister and family; something from Pat's own hands. They were all very grateful.

I'm glad that his JYD number coin went to a fellow Canadian and fine fellow JYD ; congrats on your score.

Well, after 2 days of being relatively pain free, the pain in my legs is back. To add to the comedy, the pharmacy says I am opioid naive and the doctor wrote the scrip incorrectly. They won’t fill the scrip until the doctor rewrites it. The doctor had tacked some time off so the pharmacy can’t get in contact with her. So after two days of this, the pharmacy decided to get in contact with the hospital to get another doctor to prescribe the med. Such fun. I want to get back to my weight training of lifting beer cans.

Not gona cure your pain like opiates.. but also wont cause a fraction of the negative sides or come close to the costs. The right strain with high thc will take the edge off and make it bearable.

I’m glad you are enjoying retirement, MB. When I retired 13 years ago, I was a bit unhappy for a few weeks. I missed the people. I would still wake up at the same time each morning and the thought flashed through my mind that I needed to get up and get ready for work. Then the realization hit that I didn’t have to. So I would just roll over and catch a few more winks. The thing I don’t miss is fighting a 45 minute commute with bad traffic and worse drivers.

Evening guys. Happy to let you know that I’m negative on my Covid test and cleared to go back to work tonight. Susan is feeling much better too, she got tested but hers was at the dr office and isn’t a rapid test. She works from home so no biggie for her.

Wildfires are an insane thing to live/work through. I lived and worked through 3 major wildfires. I remember things that should be not able to be burned, that were burned to ash. Some places where the fire burnt so hot it sterilized the ground and it will take decades for it to come back naturally, But seeing metal from car parts melted and puddled onto the road and dirt surfaces was interesting. Almost like modern art for some of them.

Waiting for the hurricane to hit tomorrow. Spending the day tying down the helicopters, planes and boats and tidying up the estate. Oh wait, I dozed off and dreamt I was Skunky for a moment. I have none of those things. The wife will be chopping wood for the fireplace and I am greasing up the drivetrain on the bike that she can pedal to generate electricity for my coffee makers. Making slow progress on the PT for my back. Just have to grit my teeth and embrace the suck I guess. I hope I have power tomorrow so I can chat with y’all.

Scrapyard saves the day! I loaded up with Scrapyard knives and the hurricane swerved around me. It also backed way down. It hit landfall as a category 1 hurricane and as it approached me went down to a tropical storm. By the time it hit my area, it was a mere tropical depression. I guess the Dogfather really depressed it. I wished I could have taken a picture of me with the Dogfather in one hand and the other hand firmly gripping my Taliwhacker. Thanks, Dan!

Since my Mom died on June 30th, there have been 12 or maybe 14 people die from it. And all this from a town of 1300 people and the close surrounding area. Even more astounding, 8 of them have been within the past 7 days AND half of them were less than 50.

Folks, take this seriously. When you go outside, wear a mask. Even if it only helps 1%, that 1% may be enough to save your life. Oh and of all those I’m talking about, all but 3 were fully vaccinated.

THIS STUFF IS SERIOUS! Be careful and sanitize your hands whenever you touch anything that others have touched.

Well that was certainly a first. Someone knocked on the front door then took off. When I got there she delivered the cordless chainsaw we ordered. It’s a Kobalt 40V max (40 volt). We have one of their weed eaters and it works really well. Hopefully the chainsaw will be a good one as also. 14 inch bar so ti should hopefully serve us well.

A bayonet on an M4 is just plain silly. When Pvt. Klink was in the Army, the Springfield Trapdoor with a bayonet was a proper fighting weapon.

Morning Yard!

I'm trying to get my garage usable. We had stacked all our moving boxes in there and broke them down along with all the packing material. I just got back from a run to the landfill transfer station. I filled the 8 foot bed completely and a couple of feet over the top of the cab of the truck. It cost me a whopping 6 dollars.

Now the real work begins. I need to assemble some metal shelving and get all my tools unpacked and organized.

Taking it easy today and letting my back rest for a bit, kinda.

I took the kid out to lunch at a steak place and picked up my generator from storage. Now I'm trying to stay awake from the food coma and decide which 22 pistol I need to buy.

I don't think there are many left with dial-up connections, and I was sure glad to move to "high-speed" internet, even though it is the slowest of the "high-speeds". Out here we can't get anything faster.
You might ask Cold One or Skunkhunter, both Mods, about re-sizing, etc. I'm just not that good on the computer.

I remember well dial up. It was before Al Gore invented the internet. They were called Bulletin Boards. You basically “dialed up” to another persons computer and looked around to see what they had to offer. My last experience with em ended the year I retired from the AIr Force, 1994.

Four of five dogs are all relatively young at our house and the oldest (about 10) is pretty mellow. The younger ones can be full of piss and vinegar when they feel like it, but they're all good dogs.

What breeds are they klink?
Posted By: Private Klink

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 10/04/21 05:24 AM

Great Dane/Mastiff cross, purebred Rottweiler, Lesser Bernese Mountain Dog ?, GSD/PitBull cross, and Miniature American Shepherd. The only dogs we specifically wanted were the Great Dane/Mastiff cross and the Rottweiler ; the other three just showed up at our house over time. We live on a county line and unfortunately it is a prime place for sleazy folks to dump their dogs and drive away.

Man maximum respect for taking them in. I love animals more than 99% of humans. Its disgusting how anyone could abandon an creature like that.. even more so that it probably gave their heart to the P.O.S even after constant neglect.

If I ever moved back to tornado alley I would have to have a really nice storm shelter. About the size of my bedroom. With at least a queen sized bed and a couch with a TV and a kitchenette. I would just sleep there during tornado season. Then use it as guest quarters the rest of the year.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 10/15/21 12:47 AM

Yesterday shortly after noon, October 13th, our Beloved 6 pound Bella the Bear Dog (because she would courageously defend us from the wild rampaging bears in the Smoky mountains the 3 times we were able to go there with her) crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. It has been really tough on us both but is especially bad for Patty. Bella was our baby girl, and 8 years with her was not nearly enough. I still see her in my mind’s eye just as she was, cute and full of life. She has been Ill for over a year with an enlarged heart and a partial collapsing of her throat. She has been on a water serum (furosemide) and another to control her heart plus a steroid for her throat and cough syrup when she needed it. It is especially hard coming to an empty house. Every time we would come home I would open the door and she would go running past me straight out to the Escape and flop over on her back waiting for Patty to rub her belly then pick her up and carry her into the house. She would crawl up into our lap demanding to be petted. If we would stop she would take her paw and gently scratch at us to let us know we needed to get to petting again. She was a complete bundle of joy in our lives.

I know this is going to sound bad, but you expect your parents to pass. It has been harder on me to loose Bella than mom and dad. Now I begin to understand just a glimmer of the pain parents have when they lose a child.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 10/17/21 12:01 PM

Slept too close to the edge of the bed last night. Did the “log roll” to get on my side and when I tried to sit up, I started to slide off the bed. I ended up on the floor and my legs were too weak to push myself up. My wife had to call the Rescue Squad to come and pick me up off the floor. Luckily, I don’t think I hurt myself further but it was bit embarrassing.

I hear you Ray. Only I was finally able to get myself (with Patty’s help) up. Be Careful, and err on the side of safety. At our age we break easier than we did 40 years ago.

I’ve been feeling better. My PT took me outside for some walks and I tried to get into my car. Had some difficulty with the car but I bought some gadgets to help with the process. Will try it again after the rain passes through. I’m getting very bored because I can’t go down to my workshop in the basement. I was right in the middle of building a tool chest, a saw vise and a black powder Southern Mountain rifle. I really miss working in the shop.

I like the Sun Tzu's Art of War. I have had probably 4 different versions of it all slightly different versions. The one you linked is my 2nd favorite version.

Gagliardi adds his interpretation of the concept.

My favorite is closer to the literal translation by Minford.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 10/27/21 06:53 PM

I'll link a pic of the first paragraph from each book. The one thing about the one you linked that I really like is it has a direct translation on the opposing page.

But without a deep knowledge of Chinese it doesn't do me a lot of good. But I like having it.

Posted By: gun dog

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 11/02/21 12:37 AM

Also skinny ash vs thick ash. What’s the most practical ash? It’s not really a knife you want to baton a lot with that short of a blade right?
Posted By: Twoody88

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 11/02/21 02:02 AM

Ive never had an ash. But i highly recommend a sjtac. At 400 shipped over on the sale forum thats a steal

Yeah some cool stuff got posted for sure. I tried to do a package deal on the ASH-1 and used SFNO but I must have shot him the offer to late. I really hope he gets back to me on the safety orange set! Even when the coating is worn they can be stripped and given the satin treatment and they would look great.

Posted By: gun dog

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 11/03/21 04:53 PM

I’ve held but never used. It has an interesting feeling for sure. Feels very capable for the blade size. A full flat grind would be preferable to saber.

Agreed the flavor in BF isn’t the same. I didn’t spend a lot of time in the swamp as it seemed to be a lot of Australians and they are in a different schedule and had their own thing going. I think I joined here when I just turned 18. Spent the next few years on here and so it practically feels like Randy and Tom are another set of grandpas for me......

The Swamp is where I got started with Busse, and I am sorry to see it flailing. It needs a Busse to run things; even Eric Isaacson's efforts could not yield the same results, though he tried really hard and deserves a lot of credit.

Does anyone know where to get some of the basic nylon sheaths that Busse and kin has offered on and off over the years with their knives? They aren’t fancy but I find they work just fine on my regulator and 911 and it would be nice to have a few more.

Good to hear from you as well, Tom.

No Death Adders , none that I spotted anyways. grin

Yeah, Melbourne copped the worst of the lockdowns. I never venture that far south. Cesar was down there but had the good sense to escape back up here before it all hit the fan.

I drove well out into north west that last time to where they call the corner country, ending up doing over 5,000 kilometers.

GD one of the things I liked about the Swamp was the sheer amount of people from other countries that had a shared interest. Trumby, Rob Stanley, and a host of others. Australia, Germany, Italy, Norway and a few others. I know we have a few that drop in and out here and some crossover.

I always like hearing about drop bears, kangaroo meat, Red Stag and boars. Toilets swirling the wrong way and everything that wants to kill you in the down under wink

Shooting pellet guns in the basement can be a awful lot of fun too. Ammo is cheap and no need to go out to a range. Be careful when constructing a backstop, though. A good, hunting grade .22 is more powerful than you might think.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 11/05/21 08:30 PM

The kid was a Rockstar at the range. I started her out with a Ruger 10/22 and once she remembered the fundamentals she was killing it. Then she took over my rifle. A CZ 452 with a varmint barrel. She was able to tag a 2 inch square at 110 yards no problem.

Guess I'm going to have to get her her own so I can have mine back. I'm glad she appreciates the bolt action.

I'm appricating 22lr more now as well. Mostly due to ammo costs. I try to shoot at least once a week and centerfire ammo is pricey.

If they can meet those standards they will probably be alright. She has embraced her inner redneck.

I'll jump on this grenade this once.

Cold One you are beloved and respected here. I will point out your last comment has brought far more politics here than the LGB comment. Your last comment is pretty tone deaf on what's going on in the U.S. politically. I can't fault you because you don't live here.

All of this probably would have been better addressed through a PM.

Much respect but let's get back to our regular lives and knives.

Well said M/B. wink This forum is SUPPOSED to be a place where MOST of us can have fun and communicate with each other, discussing knives or whatever. No profanity or obscenities are allowed, just civil discourse with each other. Perhaps Chris is just a little cranky having just come off a double shift;' having worked many doubles in the past I can appreciate that fact. You are right about handling things through a PM first as well ; it reduces the chance of hostilities among our members. smile

Morning Yard!

If the weather holds out today I have to joy of yardwork. The annual raking of the leaves. I can say it appears we actually have seasons here instead of just winter and summer.

I'm trying to figure out the whole lower altitude thing. I will have to mow my backyard at least one more time. At my last place mowing was done by mid September.

I road a diamondback hard through my teens. Getting back into biking this year all I could land was a giant stance but it’s been decent so far for my area of Ohio a 130mm front 120mm travel bike makes a lot of sense. I’ve but a lot of miles on it so in a few years I will probably fork over for a carbon trail bike with a 150mm front and 140mm rear. I’m also considering a fat bike as a really fun option.

This reminds me of the only time I tried downhill skiing. I was one of the adult supervisors on my kids' school based ski trip and tried it. I got about a third of the way down the medium trail, worrying about running over some poor kid. when I fell. I thought that the snow was supposed to be powdery and soft...WRONG! I fell backwards and hit my head, and I actually saw stars! My daughter skied down to me ... like a pro ... and asked if I was OK. Besides being very embarrassed my head hurt like crazy, but I made it back down to the bottom. Lesson learned, and that is the ONLY time I have skied.

LOL, I'm slowly sneaking up on the one year mark. I miss my co workers but I'm glad to be retired. I think the first few months were the hardest.

But I upended everything when I retired. We sold the house and moved a couple states away.

Honestly I couldn't be happier. We love it.

I may break down and get a part time job after Christmas. Winter slows things down here.

Don't tease a guy like that! I'm happy that fall seems to be stretching on. Was 60 degrees here today. That's shorts and t-shirt weather in November!

Ended up picking up a bunch of brake parts, the old CRV needs a full refresh on the rear end. Ah well, easy enough job and the parts are fairly cheap...

Yup. Good sheaths buy you will probably “modify” it some. I messed with the retention in mine at the mouth just a tad. Other than that I really like mine. BUT it’s not a “speed scabbard” though. Which is good for a using blade.

Its a sad day of rememberance as i think of all the people who faught and gave their lives and freedoms for us to have ours.. and majority of us just give it away. Canada/canadians are in a sad state, but what do you expect with a leader whos a drama teacher sleeping with the commies. Makes me cringe everytime someone tells me they got vaxxed becasue " well i really wanted to go to mexico this winter" etc. Doing what the slimey government wants to get a little piece of pie is NOT freedom. I wish more people could open their eyes before its too late. I for one will be losing my job on dec 15 becasue i refuse to share my personal medical info with employer and parent company and whoever is inbetween. Ill suffer and stand up for my rights if need be when needed, Not conform to have them trickled back to me . Guess they didnt scare and bribe enough people now theyre resorting to strangling the livleyhood of our families. Mods can censor this or remove the post whatever you feel the need. But this is truly a sad time in history and it should not be swept under the rug .
Just remember what people have sacraficed for your freedoms and the petty materialistic things your debating or willing to give said freedom up for .

LOVE AND RESPECT TO THOSE FIGHTING AND SUFFERING FOR OUR RIGHTS AND SHAME ON THOSE PIDDLING THEM AWAY.

It’s been said, “Freedom isn’t Free”. We seem to have forgotten that somewhere along the line. There are great Statesmen in all nations, unfortunately most of them have been muzzled into virtual silence by those who do not value Morality OR Freedom, only THEIR idea of freedom.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 11/11/21 07:23 PM

unfortunately in Canada we do not have any rights, we only have privileges
Most Canadians have never read let alone understand our Charter of rights.
Section 1 allows for "reasonable " infringement of our rights, then doesn't define what reasonable is (so the government and courts decide what is reasonable)
Section 33 also known as the not with standing clause allows the government (federal or provincial) to set aside a right for a period of up to five years (with no limit on the number of renewals)
And of course it specifically defines affirmative action as not being discriminatory

We don't even have the right to own private property in Canada

SOCIALISM is the slow infection of a moral “free” society. It is neither MORAL or FREE.

A Freedom given up is nothing more than another link hammered closed around the throat of a moral freedom loving society.

I better stop now before I get into even more trouble, but what better day to honor those before us and those still standing up against tyranny.

I hit every gunshop in the biggest town near us for ammo and a rifle. Ammo is scarcebut guns are plentiful. I did manage to find 2 bricks of 22 ammo for an OK price and picked up a 22 bolt action so the kid will leave mine alone.

I did see some cool guns for sale. Lots of MP5 clones And a real one. I saw the first Maxim that I have seen in the wild. The price wasn't bad at all. I might have considered it had it not been a 6 to 12 month wait on the Tax stamp. Looks like something Judge Dredd or Robo Cop might carry.

Tyranny by the majority.
Pre-Covid an action like this was regarded as against our human rights.
However with the Federal government and many provincial governments enactuo mandatory vaccination requirements, the tides have turned
The only reason they have gotten away with this is that they have been running an almost 2 year long campaign convincing the masses that this is the "responsible" thing to do.
All the polls that I have seen shows support for these mandates ranging from low 70's to mid 80's%

My one nephew's wife works for an airline in quality control.
She refused the vaccine, so she and some others were terminated October 31st
As she said there was a small group that were not being vaccinated, and they became targets of bullying by others.
This bullying was supported by the employer and government officials

Not good

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 11/12/21 08:44 PM

On top of that our Provincial Health Officer has closed down all mink farms.
Their reason being that 3 of the 8 farms are having covid problems (monks can carry covid 19)
They are doing a virtual closure now, and giving a permanent closure date of 2025.

This is troubling on a number if fronts.
It doesn't matter if you are for or against fur farming.
The fact that a PHO can shut down an industry and then the Minister responsible can permanently shut it down without debate is unheard of.
AND
Using a 2025 date to do this, shows that they are hoping to use this as an election issue OR they expect covid to still be around in 2025

Bill, you and I have “spoken” for hours about religion. We know where we each stand. We are peaceful with each other as it should be. I do not think Ill of you, and you do not think Ill of me because of our differing opinions on things. This is as it should be for all of us. IF we do not agree we SHOULD agree that this is OK.

There is nothing wrong with having different opinions on things and then discussing our differences. What IS wrong is when we refuse to even discuss our differences. That is when things have gone to far. When one side refuses to even consider trying to come to some sort of an agreement even if it is that there will be no agreement, nothing will get done..

We need to agree we will never all agree and then continue our lives trying our very best to cause no harm just because we do not agree. I will let you live your life (even if I think it may be wrong) and expect the same consideration from those that do not agree with me.

All joking aside, as Rodney King said “Can’t we all just get along”?

My bike came with 2.35in Maxxis Forcasters with EXO side walls which is a light trail/XC tire and when I was warming up to the bike wasn’t bad but now that I’m pushing harder and faster I’m finding I’m washing out more and would like a more aggressive tire. Leaning towards a 2.5 maxxis assegai EXO+ from with. 2.4 maxxis dissector exo+ rear but the EXO+ is out of stock so I have to pick a lighter or heavier casing.

Never thought I would see such “tech” in bicycle tires. Like Tom said, we rode what came in the bike. If new tires were needed, a trip to Western Auto (pre Walmart) solved that problem.

Thank you Bill. I also use our conversations when I try to explain how folks can/should have RESPECTFUL disagreements with others.

As I said earlier, I can be quite forceful with my opinions at times. But I believe with all my soul there is always a peaceful solution, Even if it is that we will not agree but DO agree to go our one direction in peace.

" In 1924, by a system of stream diversions, dams, dykes, canals and pumps, 33,000 acres of fertile land were reclaimed from Sumas Lake. Few areas in B.C. have such rich soil with transportation and markets in close proximity. Produce of the mixed farming on this deep lake-bottom land is an important factor in the economy of our mountainous province. "

Weather is good, but you darn Americans are causing problems now.
The Nooksack river in Washington is still flooding into the Eastern section of the Sumas prairie, so that area still has rising water.
The pumping station In danger of failing is in that area.
So we are still in a period of fluctuating conditions

From what i hear the border services has been good at allowing Canadians to cross the border so they can get home.
I have even heard reports that they allowed some canadians through without a passport
The reality is that the cross border cooperation and mutual aid between the countries is never an issue in times of crisis.

There is a Canadian firearms lawyer on YouTube that did a couple of videos on this trial

Posted By: MonkeyBomb

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 11/19/21 10:12 PM

I don't think it can be appealed. It was a unanimous jury decision. If it had gone the other way Rittenhous had several viable appeals.

I spent nearly 30 years dealing with criminal cases. I have testified as an expert in numerous cases.

I was always frustrated by the bias to the defendant. These prosecutors were horrible. They flat out lied, twisted the truth and withheld evidence. This was stuff I am used to seeing from bad defense attorneys.

I really hope this kid goes after the prosecutor. It was horrible. I thought they were intentionally trying to cause a mistrial with the stunts they pulled after their star witness proved Rittenhous was just defending himself from the witness.

The whole thing is going to have a huge ripple effect. The media has been flat out reporting bogus info. There are plenty if people that believe the people he shot were people of color. That he is a white supremicist. That his mother took him there, that he transported a gun across state lines and that it was illegal for him to have a weapon. None of which are true but has been reported extensively.

If there were any doubts about the U.S. media being propaganda its out in the open. That's a big reason Lets Go Brandon went viral. The media claiming the chant was something that it clearly wasn't.

I feel bad for all the LE and business owners that have to deal with the mostly peaceful riots. Especially right before black friday.

I also think they wilfully withheld the better quality video from the defense

I finally got most of my stuff unpacked in my gun room. I need to grab the reloading gear for the other half of the room.

A nice lazy day today. After church the runt and I put a scope on her rifle. Now she just has to get it sighted in. It's a really cheap scope. Hopefully it will do the trick until she can save up for a better optic.

I'm cooking dinner tonight. Chicken parm with some spaghetti squash and garlic bread.

This is not a political question. It is a LEGAL question. In a recent trial, much of the media reported that the defendant “crossed state lines with an AR-15”. This statement was actually incorrect, the firearm was already in the state. My question is why was so much emphasis placed on “crossing state lines” as if doing so was against the law?

It is NOT a crime to cross state lines ; that was just another of the "Left's" attempts to put negative "spin" on it. Keep in mind that Rittenhouse's father lives in Kenosha and Kyle was going to try protect him and some friends.

No, I did it with the Sheriff's Office out here. It beats driving 1500 miles and hoping the range is available when I'm there. My retired creds are good enough for LEOSA here. I just had to shoot this states post course with my CCW. It was pretty easy.

I may be wrong here, but what i was told was that as a minor (17 years old) it was illegal for him to cross state lines with a firearm.

Again this is just what one of the 2A Youtube commentators stated, I have no idea if this is correct or not.
My personal guess is that the DA was throwing everything that he could, and hoped that at least something would stick

Mornin Guys. Day 5 of Patty’s upper Respiratory infection (Viral). ER says nothing they can do so plenty of fluids and rest.

ANYTHING she eats causes her to get sick. Even her nausea meds (3 different kinds) don’t help much at all.

She hasn’t had any food since Monday afternoon.

Sometimes I think the medical practice still operates from the Black Plague time period. Other than that we’re doin great!

Yeah that’s the plan. I was going to try for more but then I got thinking that the shipping on this would be difficult since I’d have to find boxes as I don’t have any in that size and that cuts into the flip margin and size and weight means they will cost more to ship.

It's another fine day in Free America.

Mother nature can't make up her mind. It's 40 degrees, windy as can be, and spiittng snow.

I took another truckload of boxes to the dump and saw a whole bunch of Trumpeter Swans in a field on the drive there. I was told they were rare and I have seen a few here and there over the years while in the backcountry. I have seen 150 to 200 of them over the past week or two.

Bonus was the truckload of boxes cost me a whopping 5 bucks to drop off at the dump.

Federal Involvement in Health Care Drives Treatment Choices
'Doctors cannot question the federal government. That's how health care works in the United States right now.'
By Beth Brelje
December 21, 2021 Updated: December 21, 2021

Around the United States, in numerous cases, hospitalized COVID-19 patients have asked for Ivermectin but were denied the drug, and then sought a court order forcing the hospital to provide the requested medication. Ivermectin, which has been used safely in humans since 1985, has shown promise in treating the virus, especially when taken early. Although it is an off-label use and not guaranteed to work every time, it is legal for doctors to prescribe Ivermectin for COVID-19, and many patients, some desperate and dying, want to give it a try.
Why are so many hospitals opposed to trying safe, inexpensive Ivermectin? The answer is tied to the complicated financial house of cards covering the entire health care system.
This isn’t a story about Ivermectin; it’s about what COVID-19 exposed in America’s health care system. The federal government, pharmaceutical, and insurance companies hold the reins on what care hospital administrators can offer. They never looked at your chart, but have a say in your treatment, and doctors who stray from administrative protocol can kiss their careers goodbye.
Here is a look at the many forces driving health care decisions outside the doctor-patient relationship.
Sick People Are Profitable
Indiana-based Dr. Dan Stock is a family medicine physician connected to America’s Frontline Doctors, a medical freedom organization promoting treatments such as Ivermectin for COVID-19. He says finances guide much of today’s health care landscape.

“Almost no one pays for direct care anymore,” Stock told The Epoch Times. “You pay for your care as you give your money to the federal government through taxes, or to an insurance company through premiums.”

The insurance company or the government buys the service for you as a third party. That’s a problem, Stock says, because “The federal government never has paid its bills. Every doctor and every hospital lose money on every Medicare and Medicaid patient who comes in the door.” And to make up the loss, he says, the cost of health care is inflated for those with private insurance.

A 2017 fact sheet produced by the American Hospital Association said the annual shortfall borne by hospitals is $57.8 billion, and privately insured patients and others make up the difference.
Nonprofit hospitals are federally required to accept Medicare, Medicaid, retired military insurance, Indian Health Services, and all federal insurance programs.
This cost-shifting caused inflation of medical prices and that sparked increases in private health insurance premiums.

“Employers started screaming about it, people started dropping their private insurance because it just wasn’t worth the money anymore, so that’s why the Affordable Care Act got passed,” Stock said. “The idea was, look, market forces won’t make you join in and buy through the third-party payment scheme to keep Medicare and Medicaid afloat. Hospitals are screaming ‘we’re going to go bankrupt.’ So the Affordable Care Act comes out, which says that everybody in the country has to buy insurance, and if you’re an employer, you have to buy it for your employee. You’re not allowed to say no. If you do, we give you a great big tax.”
That kept Medicare and Medicaid funded, stock says.
“But there was a problem with the Affordable Care Act. They have this thing called Medical Loss Ratio,” Stock said. “Somebody talked to these idiots in our federal government into saying hey, if you’re a private insurance company, you have to spend 80-85 percent of the premiums you take in on medical supplies and services. Only 15-20 percent of it can be given to the stockholders or be used to pay administrative fees.”
With this rule, insurance companies are more profitable when patients stay sick.
For example, let’s say the insurance company plans to cover 100 patients with high blood pressure, and it plans to buy a certain blood pressure drug. It estimates the dose these patients will use and negotiates a price with the drug company.
“I’m not going to try and negotiate a low price. I want the price to be high because I’m going to get to keep 20 percent of whatever I buy for them,” Stock said. “The drug company is like, fine, I’ll sell you the high price. Now let’s say two of those 100 patients start eating better food and get rid of their high blood pressure. They don’t need the drug anymore.” The insurance company budgeted to earn based on everyone staying sick. With two people off the drug, the company loses 2 percent of its anticipated profit, in this example.
“The insurance company would have made more money if the population would have stayed sicker and bought more stuff. Let’s take the flip side,” Stock said. “Let’s say 100 percent of those patients see their blood pressure get worse. Now they need to take an additional medication. I’m going to lose money because let’s say 90 percent of the premium I’ve collected has to go buy drugs for high blood pressure patients. Now I’m not going to make as much profit. So, the insurance industry has become a pre-payment scheme for health care services and the way they maximize their income is, don’t buy at low prices, buy at high prices and then force everybody to stay on budget.”
Health Care Systems and Codes
How do insurance companies predict the public’s health?
Electronic records, developed around 20 years ago, helped doctors track patient data such as sodium level, blood sugar, and kidney function. About five years later the government realized hospitals and independent doctors were tracking that information but couldn’t share data with each other because of privacy rules associated with the HIPAA Law.
That is why, in 2012, Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) were formed. Doctors and hospitals that join an ACO are now working for one big employer.
Medicare and Medicaid said anybody who is not part of an ACO would have their reimbursement cut by 3 percent. It also offered a 2 percent increase to those who did join an ACO, Stock said.
“You’ve got to know that the margins in medicine are really narrow. Most hospitals have a one or two percent margin,” Stock said.
“The federal government then said, to get that 2 percent and to maintain your reimbursement, there are two other things you have to do,” Stock said.
First, ACOs became obligated to use an electronic medical record system and report data back to the feds and insurance companies.
The data doesn’t drill down to the level of “John Smith has asthma,” but it does tell what percentage of coronary artery disease patients are on a statin drug, or what percent of people with COVID-19 are being treated with respirators.
To enter the information into the computer system, doctors must link a treatment to a diagnosis. They must link a Current Procedural Terminology (CPT code) with an International Classification of Diseases (ICD diagnosis code).
“For instance,” Stock said. “I’m not allowed to just go write somebody a prescription for Losartan. I have to write a prescription for Losartan and link it to a diagnosis, in this case blood pressure, so they can tell what I did.”
If a doctor were to link a treatment like Ivermectin to an off-protocol diagnosis, such as COVID-19, the ACO will be financially punished and the doctor would face consequences, Stock said. To change the diagnosis code to a government acceptable code but use the medicine for something else would be fraud. The prescription must match the diagnosis in the protocol.
Here’s the second thing the government said you had to do to maintain your 2 percent reimbursement: the government and insurance companies came up with a Pay for Performance plan, also known as value-based programs.
“These programs reward health care providers with incentive payments for the quality of care they give to people with Medicare,” the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website says. “Our value-based programs are important because they’re helping us move toward paying providers based on the quality, rather than the quantity of care they give patients.”
The CMS website lists “quality improvement organizations” that develop and implement these programs, including the National Quality Forum; the Joint Commission of the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations; the National Committee for Quality Assurance; the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality; the American Medical Association. Some of these groups are led by former insurance, pharmaceutical or CMS executives.
Now the government, advised by insurance and drug companies, defines what good medicine is, Stock says. Doctors must make a diagnosis and provide the protocol code of care.
CMS bases reimbursements on how well health care systems meet these guidelines.
Like a social credit score, individual health care providers are being scored by their performance.
“Every doctor, nurse practitioner, and physical therapist is a cost center for the hospital and the ACO knows exactly how many referrals and how many lab tests they contracted, and they know how much profit individuals are getting from the insurance company,” Stock said. “They’ll come and tell you verbally, they won’t put it down on paper, but administrators will show you exactly how much money the ACO is making on you, how much you’re doing, and if you’re not profitable they’ll get rid you.”
New doctors can come out of college with $350,000 in debt. Older doctors may have kids in college. They sign a contract with a restricted clause that says if the ACO fires them, they must move 10-15 miles away from their practice or from all properties in the ACO.
“You have to stay away for a year, sometimes two years, you’re not allowed to advertise within that exclusionary area, you’re not allowed to tell your patients where you’re going, you’re not allowed to take a copy of your charts with you. For every provider in medicine, our business is our patients’ faith in us and our advice, and now the ACO owns that, which means they own your business capital and they can bankrupt you,” Stock said. “And if they fire you because you’re not profitable, no other ACO wants you because they know you’re not profitable.”
Training the Next Generation
The federal government has a program for new doctors with college debt. Work 10 years at a non-profit ACO and your loans are forgiven. That means 10 years of following the protocols.
“If the doctors aren’t following it, the hospital and the ACO takes a financial hit. An ACO can bankrupt easily because the margins are small and so they control what the doctor can go study,” Stock said. “Now the doctor comes to work every day with a financial gun to his head. ‘If I don’t follow these protocols made by the federal government and the insurance companies, I may end up getting fired, then my family doesn’t make money. I’ve got to go study what the government and insurance company tells me to go study for continuing education. I don’t get to think on my own.’ They’re talking over the entire profession. They have been doing this for 15 years. These doctors are unable to think on their own. Doctors cannot question the federal government. That’s how health care works in the United States right now.”

What would be your recommendation for an inverter/battery setup to power a lamp and a fan?

Meaning I am guessing a 400 watt inverter would provide more than enough power. And would you recommend a deep cycle battery (thinking trolling motor type battery)
Posted By: Private Klink

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 12/23/21 06:46 AM

Definitely a deep cycle battery, and if the price isn't much higher I would opt for a 750 watt power inverter. I have several sizes around here and used my 600 watt inverter to watch our 32" television when we were in the basement during severe weather, along with an L.E.D. four foot light. Definitely comforting when rough weather hits our area. wink

Man that’s scary but good for you standing up for your beliefs.
I managed to get a religious exemption as well as some of my coworkers. I’ve watched a lot of those who got vaccinated have some terrible reactions, fever, body aches, respiratory issues, one young man has had trouble walking, another was just diagnosed with an auto immune disorder after being hospitalized, one lady lost her 35 year old husband leaving her with 5 children on her own.

I saw Elvis the year before he died but we were in the last row of the "nose bleed section" and had to use binoculars. frown Oh, the other great show was Ray Stevens when he was in Branson, and Yakov Smirnov was good too.

T-88, Years ago when my kids were much younger I took them to see KISS in concert, with Judas Priest as their opening act. Those costumes really hooked the kids ! I couldn't wait for the concert to end and to get some fresh air, as there was definitely a haze in the concert hall. Ironically, my daughter took her kids to see KISS when they were in town. smile

Posted By: SkunkHunter

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 12/30/21 02:15 AM

Narcotics can cause you a lot of harm. Avoid them at all costs if you can. That being said, sometimes they are the only things that work.

But for us most of the time, even for toothaches, two extra strength Tylenol and one Ibuprofen works just as well. A dentist that handled all our jail work wouldn’t give narcotics to inmates except under VERY limited circumstances. Said the Tylenol and ibuprofen worked just as well as the normal hydros.

Strike reservoir is a long way from here. But it looks like they drew it down last month for some repairs and were filling it back up.

The water is so bad this fall that the Snake River actually froze completely over near us. It kind of surprised me because it's not that cold and I thought there was too much water flow to freeze over.

I don't think MasterCard would comply. Cabela's and BassPro use Capital One which is Mastercard for their credit cards. Great American Outdoors (Springfield Mo) is their parent company and they do about 7billion in sales every year. I use my Cabelas card to pay for gas and assorted stuff and pay it off immediately. I would guess their cards have Well over 100 billion in transactions a year not related to either store. I use it to get free stuff from Cabelas and Bass Pro.

Re: Death Chat 2020 Up and Running! - 12/31/21 10:36 PM

This reminds me of an interview with Charlton Heston a few years ago. The discussion revolved around firearm ownership and the gun hating folks of Hollyweird. When a riot was taking place he said that a few of his gun hating friends asked if they could borrow a firearm from him, but he replied "I will be using mine". Seems that their attitude changed when they realized that firearms were not so bad after all. smile
