Hi CT2 and 23C

 

[chocktaw2]

I did catch it immediately. Then I slyly looked over both shoulders to see if anyone saw me. Then sulked back to the garage, feeling like an idiot.
The stump is now just dust in the fire pit, and a bad memory. I just wanted to share my shame.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Howdy Greg!

 

[Crbn79]

You come thru the storm ok? Just more rain here.

Indeed, only disruption was finding the tech building closed with no power for class this morning.

Plenty of friends with trees down, keep telling them I'm a phone call and pitcher of ice cold lemonade away. No calls yet.

Brownells is giving away a Wilson Combat 1911 for their 75th anniversary! Get entered.

You offered!

Off for haircut, bbs.

Just got back from loaning a neighbor my chainsaw and gas. Old tree let loose A big branch. Didn't even have his own gas. Some people wouldn't know what to do in a big emergency. Sad

I used to keep 3 5 gallon jugs for such a thing. Loaned 2 of them out and they've never made it back. Down to 5 gallons now.

We keep a lot of fuel stored. When my sons idiot friends figured that out I suddenly was down about 6 of my 5 gallon jugs. They would take them with the promise of fill and return but it never happened.
I had to send idiot son out to get my jugs and I made him fill them up. He squirmed and complained but they all were filled and put back. Told his idiot buddy's that stepping in my driveway would be seriously deadly for them. They do not get it. People today do not have a ****ing clue.....really don't.

I know what you mean. I always try to get whatever I borrowed right back into the hands of the person I borrowed it from as soon as I'm done. It's a little out of the way, but it keeps me out of those "oh crap I forgot" situations. I cannot count how many tools have walked off never to return with the promise of them being brought right back.
Heck, I believe that as much as I believe my sister will pay back gas money next payday....

I just heard an icecream truck playing Christmas songs. Ugh.

Don't have to tell me twice! "Valued at $2,800" I remember Wilson's being steep, not that high though.

It's funny, all the Fed Zombie reaction scenarios are actually Civil Unrest training in disguise. I better get this back on.

I'm 30 miles from my bunker, and only have one clip.
