So we chatted sights, the purchase, etc. One of the guys was a SEAL. I must say, what a pleasure talking to him (he was also pleasurable to look at too!). Anyway it was one of those meetings where you walk away from smiling and feeling pretty good, you know the kind ladies. Aside from that, I was reminded that being kind and friendly with those around you can make what seems like torture of waiting in long holiday checkout lines turn into a good chat. I met some good people tonight and I'm happy I was given the opportunity for it.
Please don't forget, through all this coverage of tragedies, that people really are good.
One guy, Kent, was a bar back, had been for years, lives here and looks forward to the dream - a piece of land so he can take his daughter and girlfriend 4wheeling. Another guy was a SEAL and he had a spectacular mustache. I asked him if it was a deployment 'stache and he laughed. He said no but he did it just cause he could. The lady and her brother from Aurora CO, they were enjoying being here in TX. The guy Louie who helped answer my questions about optics, he's waiting on his custom AR to be built and he can't wait he's so excited. Ryan, the guy checking me out, he's an Altoids man - cinnamon only.
Take the time when you can to interact with the folks around you. It just might make your day.

I think......In last weeks thread, Shorts advised us to get to know the people around us. I don't think I wanna know more about most of the people here! I'm starting to dream about the people here, that's close enough! For example, last night T-Rad came to help me out when I turned on a faucet because instead of water, fire flowed out of it like lava! He tried to shut off the faucet valve but it was too hot, so Claude tried to stem the flow by stuffing a rag in the end of the faucet, but the rag burned up. Why he didn't get burned, I never found out despite my asking him about a thousand times. Then Tim comes in with his trusty 'can', but he wouldn't use it because as he stated, "I might need this water for a REAL fire!"
So eventually the sink clogs from all the fire... (?)... and now we're all worried that the septic tank will explode when the fire reaches it because of all the methane gas. Fronty says from somewhere, (I never saw him), "Don't worry about it, just have another beer and it won't matter." Cincy was wandering in and out the whole time saying something to the effect of 'it was what I get for trying to wash a sheep', and Blake kept trying to get Cincy to do something stupid so he could film it and add it to the 'Adventures of Cincy' thread.
There were other people who came and went... and came and went and came and went throughout all this, but I couldn't make out who they were. Probably because I've never met them in real life and only have an impression of what they might be like. All the while we're ALL trying to shut the stupid faucet off with no success. Somewhere in the whole mess, my father was telling me that if I ruin his plumbing I'd be in REAL trouble. I attribute this to the fiasco I was involved with in my high school days where-in a cherry bomb was flushed down the toilet and eventually exploded while traveling down the pipe over the carpentry shop.
This went on ALL DANG NIGHT! I'm more tired now than when I went to bed!

For those of you that really, really enjoy your tunes and don't want to be without them in the future, here's something to ponder.

LoL! That was great. And the best part is: Anytime you accuse me of being a little strange I can point to this post and say "Oh really?".
Don't exactly know. I asked for a mid range ready to fly electric one. It would be nice if it could carry a .50cal too.
A friend of mine (he is 62) got one and it turns out to be so much fun I figured I would get one. Whats the worst that can happen?
Its a little like checking into a funny farm but without the enemas.
LoL! I had to look up WAWA (I had never heard of them) and kaka plant. I thought you had made both names up.

Sausage Aficionado (In training)
Good evening all y'all. The title of this week's breakroom just reminded me of something I read in our local newspaper. Calgary is getting it's first IHOP. It is even in the south end of the city so it is only a 30 minute drive from here.
We got our Christmas tree decorated today and the neighbor kids dropped off 10 lbs of garlic sausage they are selling as a 4H fund raiser. With all of the sausage we made 2 weeks ago, we hardly need commercially produced sausage but they are good kids and we are happy to support them and the 4H club. I guess our family are going to get Mundare kielbasa in their Christmas stockings.
I stumbled across a greenhouse supply company in Manitoba that has really good mail-order prices. Being in Manitoba means that shipping isn't too expensive. I am starting to plan out a 20ft x 100ft greenhouse to be built in the spring. Now, I just need to find our local recycled lumber store. I know there is one, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the store. I guess it is time to call Louis, my local farmer friend. Everything I ever need, Louis knows a guy.
To be totally honest, 9 times out of 10, Louis is the guy. In the middle of cultivating the garden last spring, my tractor blew a front tire. I phoned Louis to ask where the best place was to buy Ag tires. He had 2 sitting in the back of one of his many barns / shops. 1 hour later we had a new tire installed on my rim and a spare tire in the back of my truck. When I offered to pay him, he told me to bugger off. This is the same guy we give our 35 bales of hay to every year. The relationship works just fine for both of us.

Evening Rick.
Never heard that version before.
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Think I'll eat some worms!
Big fat juicy ones,
Eensie weensy squeensy ones,
All full of iddy biddy Germs!
Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm!
Choked on the third one,
Puked on the forth one
Wonder if the Nuns might have heard
I bite off the heads, an suck out the juice,
And throw the skins away!
Nobody knows how I survive,
On worms three times a day!
That was the version I grew up with.

I caught an article the other day, the company that makes the helicopters that are sold in the maul is looking to scale up that design to the size that can haul a person or two. In addition to a short range commuter vehicle, they are also talking keeping the remote controls so that they can be flown remotely for rescue work.

Sausage Aficionado (In training)
Kerry, welcome to the breakroom but you should be warned. A new guy named Richard checked in a week or two ago. We gave him a warm welcome and he hasn't been heard from since. Don't know if there is a connection or not, that is up to you to decide. I am just sayin.........

I will? Ok, then I fine you. Your fine is to get up early and make the coffee!
The longer I know you, the more I realize you are just one strange individual!
And they're about 10 grand!
Pervert!

Ohhhh, and its starting to snow--or is that Dandruff.
