Good job Bobby!

Yep, my girls we're driving skid loader & tractors when they were 8 or 9. Then they upgraded to 4 wheeler & driving jeep thru the back fields. Hopefully when they turn 15 it won't be that challenging.....

I'm putting the boys on Sarge when and if I ever get it down to the farm. But I think top speed is around 4.4, maybe 5 mph

ROTFL Koot!  Like my buddy who shot a turkey with a 375H&H....beak and feet

I have a 460Wby Mag but I only take it out of the sage when I need to scare myself,  IIRC 115 grains of powder behind a 400gn Barnes pushing 2700fps.  No muzzle break.

Don't to affix your Artillery Corps insignia to your collar before pulling the lanyard on that thing...oh, perhaps a heads up to both the emergency room and your chiropractor as well!

Give Don a rest, he's buying bread, fuel, TP, beef sticks........He's in the path of "Snowmagedon" so he's stocking up! 

Cant wait to see Manhattan struggle under 2 feet of snow, Obama's motorcade couldn't drive with a dusting, so thinking this might keep him still for a few days with his phone, pen.......what could possibly go wrong!  Someone should send him a copy of "13 Hours" to help him pass the time!

Actually I am going to Cosco to pick up some crab meat...I'm cooking for friends Saturday night!

Found another one:

"Always fly the aircraft as far into the accident as you can"

Sorry Shawn, no pics!


If Sgt. Hess wants to enforce his insane disarmament dreams, he’d best re-up and lead the charge. (Marine Corps Times/Twitter)

“Veterans should lead push for more secure gun laws,” a Marine Corps Times opinion piece by former sergeant and current college student Matthew Hess begins. “I have always been perplexed by the knee-jerk opposition of some veterans to any mention of gun control.”

That confusion is clear from the outset. On the one hand, he says he’s for “gun control.” On the other, he says he wishes he could have done something about the San Bernardino murders, themselves the inevitable result of suicidal government immigration policies coupled with enforced citizen disarmament edicts.

With “progressives,” every day is Opposite Day.

“I understand why many people are skeptical about President Obama’s Jan. 1 announcement that he will bypass Congress in enacting stricter gun laws,” Hess admits, trying to sound “reasonable.”  What he apparently doesn’t understand (except he really does) is it’s not skepticism, it’s righteous outrage. The president is not empowered by the Constitution to enact any laws, and as far as guns are concerned, the only mandate specified is “shall not be infringed.”

Yes, we all understand the military requires extensive training before deploying with armed troops on combat and support missions. That’s very different from citizens exercising unalienable rights in civilian life.  And as the lessons of two Fort Hood attacks, the Washington Navy Yard shootings, and armed assaults on the Chattanooga recruiting and reserve centers should have taught those in charge, the more inviting you make it for attacks to succeed, the more you’re likely to attract consideration.

“I have found that some of the same people who accept nothing less than perfect weapons handling from their fellow Marines have much lower standards for weapons safety in the civilian world,” Hess observes. “Why did I have to go through such intense training and background clearance, when in some places you don’t even need a background check to buy a gun?”

First of all, he didn’t “have to.” He signed up. He had a choice. Gun edicts don’t allow for that. And plus, Sergeant Hess, the Second Amendment articulates a right.

If he thinks for a second that ending private sales and imposing de facto registration and prior restraint on a right will have any effect on violent criminals who – by law – are immune to registration requirements, he might want to make good use of his college studies by taking some Constitutional law classes. That’s assuming he can still find a professor who is not an agenda-driven subversive. And assuming he’s not on board with that agenda.

“While I am concerned that America’s current gun laws are too relaxed, this does not mean that I oppose gun ownership,” Hess continues digging himself into a hole. “I have always enjoyed shooting as a hobby.”

Good for you, Sarge. But I don’t think you want to go the “sporting purposes“ route, at least without figuring out where that evil concept originated.

“But I must question the yield-no-ground attitude toward gun control that I have heard from many of my friends,” Hess continues.  Perhaps it would be better for all if he spent less time questioning and pretending he knows what he’s talking about, and more time shutting up and learning from people who can refute every insipid gun-grabber talking point he parrots. That makes it fair to question if he‘s simply naive, or if he knows damn well the PR effectiveness of exploiting veteran status among the less informed.

“Of course, we will never be able to prevent every gun crime or mass shooting, and criminals will always be able to obtain guns illegally,” Hess admits, again with the talking points, this time improvising off Obama’s “We know we can’t stop every act of violence, every act of evil in the world” line.

Yeah, this guy’s a willing tool, meaning there’s really no need to fisk the rest of his propaganda screed, except to say that “law-abiding” is a relative term used to disqualify rights in “progressive” strongholds, and that trying to ban what he calls “military grade assault rifles” is an act of utter betrayal to the oath he swore. Evidently Hess is not ignorant of what that oath meant—he’s just contemptuous of it.

This guy has taken the old “I’m a gun owner with a big BUT…” trick and dressed it up with medals and chevrons. That way, he can wave the flag and shred the Constitution at the same time.

It’s always sad and infuriating to see a veteran turn to the dark side after giving service to his country. When one does, it’s not out of line, to remind ourselves that at one time, one of America’s greatest military heroes, a man who proved his battlefield courage on several occasions, was a twice-wounded former patriot by the name of Benedict Arnold.

Not sure exactly where to post this, but I feel it is important that this information gets out to the people

If all of this and a hundred more things don't suggest we are not only ripe for a revolution, but it is fast becoming obvious that it may be the best path, then you are a part of the problem and blind to what is going on!

I found those classic style Pro-Comp wheels with the 4.75 BS to fit about right. Will tuck a bunch more inside (Without knowing your modified front track).
I was thinking of trading out wheels with the coming tire change, but I decided to just keep the wheels, however coat them with something...(Concrete?? Asphalt??)

Looks much better and sturdier TRN! Good workmanship!

Ephesians 5:6-14


Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead,
and the Messiah will shine on you



Light versus Darkness

6 Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things  7 Therefore, do not become their partners.  8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light—  9 for the fruit of the light[c] results in all goodness, righteousness, and truth—  10 discerning what is pleasing to the Lord.  11 Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them.  12 For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret.  13 Everything exposed by the light is made clear,  14 for what makes everything clear is light. Therefore it is said:


Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead,
and the Messiah will shine on you.

Yea we get that by bulk also along with antifreeze.  Antifreeze is hard to do in bulk. Got the green stuff. All the newer equipment has red or orange. Being partially color blind that is a challenge. I have to ask someone all the time.

You could add say, cherry flavor to one type, then peach to another

Then all you'd have to do is take a sip of it to determine which type you're dealin' with!

Never mind the arsenic and all that, probably just flush out your system! :o :o :o

I copied this here for general information. The published warning obviously telegraphs intent by the Militia to intervene to keep things on the up and up. Not a bad idea really to provide a buffer so that something crazy doesn't happen.

When this sort of thing happened in Waco Texas, the American people were not in the state of mind that they are now. The militia and potential army of patriots was not really on the radar. Now days they certainly are. Militia stopped an illegal government intervention on the Bundy ranch in Nevada, so obviously they have grown in strength. Now they are positioned around the Oregon site now occupied by other militia folks.

Essentially a ring of gun powder now encircles a case of TNT and an agitated group of matches just showed up wanting to shoot something. Stage is set here folks. I thing prudence dictates we keep an eye on how this is rolling out:

De Oppresso Liber?  We Shall See

This is addressed first and foremost to the entire U.S. military, but especially to the military Special Operations Command and community.    Secondly, it is addressed to federal LEOs, and especially to their SRTs, such as the FBI HRT (many of whom are former military special operations).  This comes from combat arms and special operations veterans, along with veteran Sheriffs and police officers, within the Oath Keepers organization:

Critical Warning:

The Ammon Bundy led occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon must be handled as a normal, non-crisis, law enforcement matter, and preferably by Oregon Sheriffs (who are organized as the Oregon State Sheriffs' Association), and their deputies, together with the local community there in Harney County, OR.   The locals can resolve this, if given enough time.   The Oregon Sheriffs can resolve this, if given enough time.

This situation must not be handled in a military or paramilitary fashion, using military assets, military rules of engagement, or otherwise attempting to end it suddenly by use of dynamic assault, resulting in catastrophic loss of life, as has occurred twice in recent American history, with horrific results (at Ruby Ridge in 1992, and at Waco Texas in 1993).  If you do it "Waco" style here, you risk pushing this nation over the edge into a civil war, because there are "no more free Wacos."

This is not an emergency situation, unless you turn it into one.  Ammon Bundy's occupation of an empty building is essentially the same as civil-disobedience sit-ins that the political left has engaged in for decades, from anti-war and civil rights protesters in the 60s and 70s (including a nineteen month occupation of Alcatraz by American Indian activists), to Occupy Wall Street Movement and Black Lives Matter activists today.

These ranchers, cowboys, and veterans just happen to be armed, as westerners tend to be.   Get over it.  There are no hostages, there are no close-by neighbors at risk, there is nobody there except those who want to be.

So tread lightly, and at most handle this like the Montana Freeman standoff, where the FBI was patient and waited them out, with a peaceful surrender coming after eighty one days.   In this situation, the locals will likely have this resolved long before that length of time.  Regardless, there is no rush.

Despite that reality of there being no emergency here, we have very good reason to believe that ideologue leftist bureaucrats within the Obama Administration - such as within the D.O.J., and their politically minded "perfumed prince" puppets within the D.O.D. - are pressuring you to prepare to use military assets and military rules of engagement to conduct a dynamic raid.   We are an organization of current serving and retired military, police, fire-fighters and other first responders, and we have contacts at every major military installation in America (including Joint Base Lewis-McChord), and at the Pentagon.   We hear things.  We'll just leave it at that.

And we know that the Obama Administration considered the use of military force during the Bundy Ranch standoff in April, 2014, pursuant to Directive No. 3025.18, "Defense Support of Civil Authorities."  Fortunately for all Americans, they decided not to do it.  This fact was confirmed by a May 28, 2014 Washington Times article:


A U.S. official said the Obama administration considered but rejected deploying military force under the directive during the recent standoff with Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his armed supporters.

From Inside the Ring: Memo Outlines Obama's Plan to Use the Military Against Citizens.

So, the military force hammer was, in fact, on the table during Bundy Ranch, as we suspected.  Please don't try to tell us it's not on the table again, now.   We know it is.  The only question is whether the Obama Admin leftist weenies will be foolish enough to try to actually use it, and if they do, whether you will be foolish enough to obey their idiotic orders and obediently act as that hammer.

In addition, it is clear you federal LEOs have not handled this in the normal law enforcement manner of cordoning off the area and immediately initiating negotiations.  Why is that?  Why has there yet to be even an attempt to open direct lines of communications between you and Ammon Bundy, as members of Pacific Patriot Network, Idaho III%, and Oath Keepers on the ground in Burns, OR have been repeatedly urging you to do for the past week, to no avail?

Don't do it.  Do not follow unlawful orders if the Obama Administration fools decide to go "full retard."  No matter how eager the politicians like Harry Reid are for Ammon Bundy's head, after the black eye Ammon and his family gave them at Bundy Ranch in 2014, and no matter how much they pressure you to "make an example" out of these guys, you cannot drop the hammer on a bunch of ranchers, cowboys, and veterans sitting in an empty building without it blowing up in all of our faces.  Treat this with kid gloves, like the Montana Freeman standoff, instead of like the Waco standoff, or risk setting off a civil war.

The stuffed-shirt, pencil necked metrosexuals inside the D.C. beltway will not be the ones bleeding and dying in the chaos that could follow (at least not at first).

yes.  It will take many more getting shot before they start to change behavior.

What do you call two guys killed while holding up a store?........a good start.

Good Golly Miss Molly!

She sure filled those up fast!

They lasted, what...30 minutes? :o

BTW youthful married guy...It never gets any better!

Know why I have a really big house?

Because I need a small space to "Live" in...

Think about it.... ;)

They were filled before the glue was dry, i can say that with certainty. But i knew they would be... The shelves were really built to accomodate the size of all that stuff, which was stacked up waiting for a home. 24" tall for the bottom shelf (for coolers mainly), and then 18" thereafter for all those rubbermaid bins.

She can't wait till the shop is built and all of my stuff is out of the garage so she can rat-hole more Christmas/thanksgiving/Easter/etc decorations.

Lord help me if she tries to take over the shop too LOL

No kidding!

And just to make sure you are clear on this point, wife beating, burning, and the like is illegal unless you are Muslim living in some Islamic Republic somewhere!

Went and filled out a form that I believe is an "application" - do you see the form that you followed on that link Don?

I think it was a "Let's get started" tab, Mike
