Great story. So did she join?]Never forget, always remember. Teach your kids. Thank you, Veterans.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Finished driving back yesterday, funny thing happened about 30 mins from Norms area on I80. At first I thought maybe they were my over watch (you know so I could pass safely thru Norms area without issue). However, then I realized they were heading towards him so thinking maybe there was a planned raid on his bunker. You know the one he talks about all the time aka “the shed”! Haven’t heard from him in a few days so they either did raid his place or he just lost his phone again...Got back to my shop at around 7 last night. Had sore throat most of yesterday then stepped out into 30 degree weather and immediately started chilling. Came down with fever apparently so dropped car outside shop then dolley at uhaul place. Came home to NyQuil / ibuprofen & long hot shower. Went to bed and within few hours woke up drenched and had broken fever. Mom had colonoscopy this morning and is doing well. May get to go home tomorrow. Stopped by shop this morning at 7am and unloaded 4Runner and moved car inside. Took back wife’s rental car, had lunch with her and now just relaxing. Baylee’s xj isn’t too bad, hatch is dented in and won’t open. Stock bumper pushed down and I think hitch is a bit too. Hitch stopped further damage is my opinion thus far. Other guys insurance will cut her check and she’ll add some more fun parts to xj. Guy who caused accident has USAA & guy who was meat in that sandwich has progressive go figure....
Heck Shawn, my home a/c is still chugging away.Still helping my brother. Sanded most of the floors, and then started laying out the marble pattern in the kitchen....sweat was a runnin' down my back... those things weigh like 22lbs each!
Tex, I haven't made it home yet.Don, that was funny, but, the ones I layed down in that pic where the only ones that color. .... just opened the rest of the boxes he brought from storage and every single box has super dark marble. Errrrr
Hoping all goes well with the corn. Do you sell local to mill or feed lot, or have to ship it out to corn juice factory.
What about this "Camp fire" in California...and the lost town, Paradise? Prayers all around for those folks.I know it has been a long drought, but I wonder what negative effect tree huggers may have had to encourage such a savage burn. Not cutting trees, protecting habitat and so forth...??
well on to first world problems....Wife finally made a decision on what SUV she wanted after what seems like 8 weeks of test driving.....Now that she's made that decision, the rest is on me. time to get the negotiating game face on. I have a contact with the president of the dealership so we'll see if that helps....or hurts....Of course she wants the most obscure options packages and .....she wants it by the weekend...after 8 weeks of stalling....SMH

It was a study for the Sierra Nevada's but applicable to all of California and many parts elsewhere. https://lhc.ca.gov/report/fire-mountain-rethinking-forest-management-sierra-nevada
Well it was a Goldilocks ordeal. Her current SUV is 200 inches long and 78 inches wide. Everything was either 210 or 195 and for her it was too big or too small. She narrowed it to the Lexus LX, Lexus GX, the Yukon Denali, Infinity QX80. Bailed on the Denali because it was too wide and did t have the 360 camera. So she test drive the Escalade because it did but she didn’t like the gangsta image. Then she eliminated the LX because it steered and drove like a truck. She loves the quilted leather in the QX 80 but after the dealer let her drive one all day she couldn’t deal with parking it or getting it in the garage. She decides on the GX but now that means she wants the top trim level which only about 2-3 on each dealers lot. Then she has to have the pearl white with the sepia interior which means about 1 on each dealer lot. And now she wants all that with the captains chairs. None of those exist within Texas. This is going to be fun....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Early oil change on the Dmax last night in preparation for leaving for Arkansas tomorrow evening; Murphy did not visit me this time! Laying on concrete with the garage door open in 25 degree weather wasn’t too bad, but still enough motivation to keep my gaze turned South for my next purchase of acreage!
cruizng, how is that nifty steel table that you made working out for you?
