I picked up mine on sale at cabelas this past saturday for $99 with the bayonet, oil can, ammo pouches, and tools. The tag said they are normally $149.

 

After 30+ years, I still cant understand why my wife drinks coffee if she is going to load it with all that stuff. However, I have learned to keep my mouth shut about it.


Have to look into it. We now have a Lowes in Kenai. However, tonight, the ones that I gave the can of Diesel to really appreciated it and tried to show their love and affection by chasing me around the back 40. Us older fat guys can really move if given the right motivation. Seems to have worked though. Going back out to make sure.

 

G'night DTR.

 

Wow! When you say G'night you mean it! Nobody else here but me. Wonder what is in the fridge? Wonder what that growling noise is in the coffee pot.
But most important, I still cant figure out what the heck these things are called ~~. Last week I found them towards the upper left of my keyboard~~~~. Honest, I am sure they werent there before~~. Guess I will have to sleep on it~~ Probably will keep me up all night stupid little ~~~~ probably crawling around the house at night doing who knows what.

 

And they bite too.



Morning all.

Today is Monday, June 14th. Almost 1/2 way thru the month of June already... why can't the winter go by this fast?

On this day in 1775 - The Continental Army was founded by the Second Continental Congress for purposes of common defense. This event is considered to be the birth of the United States Army. On June 15, George Washington was appointed commander-in-chief.

1777 - The Continental Congress in Philadelphia adopted the "Stars and Stripes" as the national flag of the United States. The Flag Resolution stated "Resolved: that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation."

1834 - Cyrus Hall McCormick received a patent for his reaping machine.

1864 - Alois Alzheimer was born. He was a psychiatrist/pathologist, and in 1907 he wrote an article describing the disease that is named for him.

1893 - Philadelphia observed the first Flag Day. (Today is Flag day)

1900 - Hawaii became a U.S. territory.

1917 - General John Pershing arrived in Paris during World War I.

1940 - The ***** opened their concentration camp at Auschwitz in German-occupied Poland.

1940 - German troops entered Paris. As Paris became occupied loud speakers announced the implementation of a curfew being imposed for 8 p.m.

1943 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that schoolchildren could not be made to salute the U.S. flag if doing so conflicted with their religious beliefs. Could this have been the start of political correctness?

1983 - Five people were killed in a wing of a Ramada Inn in Fort Worth, TX. The fire began in stacked rolls of carpet and padding, the fumes that ensued were toxic.

1990 - The U.S. Supreme Court upheld police checkpoints that are used to examine drivers for signs of intoxication.

 

Morning all. Scott - - reading the "past" it never ceases to amaze me where we have come to in our country. Does the ACLU have a life? Who funds these idiots? Pack them up on a ship and send them to Gaza - - let Israel know they are coming and don't stop the ship. We sure don't need them in our country unless they start looking at the present administration in a different light and give them a hard time.

Oh well, onward and upward. Gorgeous morning dawning here - - been really hot down here. 98 and 96 the last two days - - that just doesn't happen here.

Put some fresh coffee and ph00 on and put some homemade banana bread on the counter. Come and get it.

Bob

 

Morning.

 

Morning.

Fronty, too funny about the coffee.

Claude, we aughta run up to Alro and get some steel and take it to my place to weld up. I wouldn't mind a tower either. Want to raise the yagi i use for the cell phone and try a different set up to see if I can get another OTA channel since they went HD. Can't get anything now that the leaves are on the trees. Have a dish now, but want the option.

Bark, instead of diesel, try bleach. Nothing can live in bleach but it won't harm the water table, and the vegetaion will come back sooner.

Anybody here from Heidi? She get tangled up under the Jeep restoration?

 

Mornin. Still at the hospital, brother is doing better. Coffee here sucks.

Blake ,chaikwa pertly correct he left out the part about the paint stripper not really it just has a BITE you won't forget very easly if it your first can ,like i told the girl from south africa "you drink three cans one right after the other ,after that your hooked on the stuff" that's where the "your freaki'n crazy" qoute comes in

 

3 cans? In a ROW??? I doubt very much if a southerner could survive 3 consecutive cans! And if they did, they'd have that after-taste for infinity.
