Mr. Surveyors I'm glad its January free for all.

[Bawanna]

Close enough for me to start the January thread. I know Mr. Surveyor has been anxiously awaiting the passing of December, so we'll light it off a few days early and help his mood if possible.

[swampman]

my Kimber custom CDP II is so accurate I don't have to aim. :)

[mr surveyor]

aahhhhh.... I can see the light at the end of the tunnel..... or at least I can finally see the end of this year coming:)

Thanks B-Man!

The only down fall to rushing getting this year over with is it seems next year will go by in a flash and we'll be right where we're at now, a little poorer, a year older, and Jocko on a 2012 Screamin Eagle.
I'm at a point where I don't want to rush things ya know what I mean Vern?

[swampman]

I don't know why I keep buying handguns,I can't see the sights well enough to aim them.they all may as well be belly guns.:)

[wyntrout]

Get a large capacity magazine pistol and use tracer ammo.:boink:

Wynn:D

[Bawanna]

I think we have a bingo right there. Tracers, who'd a thunk.

Where's Kyletex, shoot till they change shape or catch on fire.

[mr surveyor]

Tracers....... now THAT'S an idea to consider:D

[jfrey]

Get a Taurus Judge! You don't need sights, just point and pull the trigger. Shotgun shells do the trick.

I got a coach gun from Santa. Talk about a house clearing gun!

Lets don't push getting to January too hard. Jan. 3rd means I have to go back to teaching them highschool rug rats again.

[Bawanna]

Does my heart good to hear of gun toting school teachers. Sure are enough who are against them, that's for sure.
My son a few years ago got me a coach gun for Christmas, all chrome plated. I cut the pistol grip off the stock and made it english and it's near perfect. I'd forgotten about where that one came from, I better go thank him againl

[Jeremiah/Az]

I have a cheapy coach gun, 12 gauge double barrel Stoeger. When I shoot the front trigger, I get hit on my middle finger by the trigger guard that leaves a knot the size of a very large hemorrhoid & just as sore! I hate that gun, but damn it just looks bad!

Wonder what it looks like from the muzzle end?

[mr surveyor]

Jeremiah.... how do you hit your middle finger on the trigger guard? Is it due to the stretch of your index finger to reach the forward trigger that would cause your middle finger to be up close anf personal with the outside rear of the trigger guard?

surv

[jfrey]

Surveyor, you got it. The Stoeger has a long reach to the front trigger and bites your middle finger on the back of the trigger guard. The back trigger is easy. The first thing I noticed when I shot mine was the pain in my middle finger. If you hold the pistol grip really tight it doesn't tend to do it so bad.

Well I've got the rest of the week to finish some "honey do's" and it is back to the rug rats.

If all goes as planned, my first grand kid should be here Thursday. The wife is all excited.

jfrey

[Bawanna]

That's what I have is a Stoeger. I haven't shot it a whole lot but I didn't notice any pain, gotta just be the way I hold it. I did take the pistol grip bump off and make the stock English style, looks way cool. The wood stock was painted black, so I took all that off and just stained and oiled it. Big improvement looks wise. Need to find me a scabbard for it for my chair.

My boys were quite impressed when I took it to the trap range and was busting birds from the hip with it. No idea how I did that, it was purely blind hog luck but I busted a bunch. Maybe its just good karma?

[mr surveyor]

I have a 60's model Larona 20 ga. (made in Spain) double trigger, SxS with 20-1/2" barrels that my Dad left me a few years ago. I took it to the range several times on "club shoot 5-stand" night and actually was hitting about 60% with the little thing. Decided to take it with me on the dove hunt a couple of years ago and use it on our "arrival" late afternoon hunt. The first pair of birds I saw....dropped 'em both. One of our group that is the most experienced firearms/hunter in the bunch watched in amazement and noted that I had finally found the perfect gun. Fortunately he moved on to his spot and didn't see me miss the next 25-30 shots:o. The Larona was actually made to be an upland bird gun... basically quail and pheasant... where shots are generally much closer range than doves. I love the classic look of the double guns, and bought another Spanish gun, then a CZ Ringneck (made in Turkey), and tried a couple more, but just could NOT get the right fit. And "fit" is the most important consideration for a shotgun (or any gun for that matter). I still have the little Larona, but Dad insisted that was to be handed down to my grandson (his great grandson) upon reaching the age of 18 (if I think he's mature enough).

As for the double trigger, I actually prefer it over the single/select trigger mechanism. With my short stubbies, it sounds like I have no need for a Stoeger though.

[Jeremiah/Az]

Mr Surveyor, jefrey got it exactly right. I have big hands & fingers. This happens to me with all double trigger guns. Hate them! We call them knuckle busters! That short barreled double is sure a mean lookin' mother tho!

about dove hunting. u shoot alot, bring home less.

Personally I have a reciepe for doves breasts that is fit for a king.

[earle8888]

Yep Dove hunting. Went on a Dove hunt in S. Carolina once!!!
Yep that is why I started Dry Fly Fishing. Great sport and less to clean when you get home.

[jfrey]

Don't know how the rest of you guys do it, but around here we take a dove breast and slap on a half of a jalapeno and wrap it with a piece of bacon. Fix it with a tooth pick and throw it on some coals or deep fry it.

That's some good eatin.

[mr surveyor]

that's close to our method, but we add a bit....

a glob of creme cheese with the chunk of jalapeno, wrapped with bacon, then covered with dry rub consisting of brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, a bit of onion powder (and a few other minor spices)

we've cooked a few thousand birds this way over the last several years. Also came up with a very simple way to handle the actual "cooking" part. We use the rather inexpensive round "kettle" type charcoal grills and two wire grill tops. we place as many birds as possible on one of the wire grills, then turn the second wire grill over and place it on top of the birds.... then use four short pieces of baling wire to sandwich it all together. Put it over the hot coals (with a bit of hickory, pecan or mesquit wood) and let it cook the first side a few minutes. Then, with gloves, one person can turn 40-50 birds over in about 10 seconds. We turn 'em 4 or 5 times to cook even. When done, one person can take all 40-50 birds off the coals and put them on the cook table, clip the 4 wires and remove the top wire grill, and the birds are served.

I use the same "recipe" above for boneless chicken breasts. Only real difference is that I use a sharp, thin blade filet knife to cut a pocket in the breast from the side, and try to keep the outer incision to less than an inch. Then take a glob of creme cheese with a good amount of the dry rub mix one it, stuff it into the pocket followed by as much jalapeno chunks as I can stuff in, wrap the whole thing with bacon, cover with dry rub, and put it on the grill.

Can you tell we like our seasoning on the "flavorable side" down here at the Stumpwater, Texas Kitchen?:D


surv:)

[wyntrout]

Dang! Do y'all just throw the drumsticks away? :boink:

Wynn :D

[jlottmc]

On a dove? I have never seen drumsticks worth eating on one. Too much work and not enough eatin' for that.

[wyntrout]

Shoot, a couple of hundred would probably be a tasty little meal... and you would probably burn more calories trying to get some meat off the bones.:D

Hey, I've seen this before, but just got it again... it's kind of gun-related and funny:

Subject: Fw: Windshield test

This is just too funny because it's true.



Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch standard 4 pound dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.

British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the British engineers.

When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two, and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow.

The horrified Brits sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the US scientists for suggestions.

NASA responded with a one-line memo -"Defrost the chicken."
(True Story)

[jfrey]

Surveyor, you can normally tell a Texan by the starch in his jeans and the spice on his food. We normally like it hot and spicey, what ever it is. My dad used to say he wouldn't be surprized to see me put picante sauce on my icecream.
I'm gonna have to try your recipe on some chicken real soon. Thanks

Dang, I miss dove and quail hunting. Growing up in northeast Texas, did a lot of both when I was teen -ager. My dad had a Stephens dbbl barrel 12 ga, that was cut off, to uh, maybe still legal :rolleyes:, and it was a covey buster for sure.

uuuhhhh....welllll......the ice cream thing....

my favorite topping on fresh hot apple pie and ice cream is a big ole spoon of hot-n-sweet jalapenos (pickled with lots of sugar to make a wonderful sweet, hot...actually rather mild since it's just jalapenos....syrup)

and, another little addition.... I came up with a recipe for home made jalapeno apple pie...basically just your average home made apple pie with granny smith apples, sugar and lots of cinnamon, livened up with chopped red and green jalapenos. I usually make it for Christmas, but failed to "get in the spirit" this year.

I also make up around 15-20 gallons of hot sauce per year, using wither jalapenos and tabasco peppers or cayenne and tabasco peppers

I love my peppers, and my starched and creased Wrangler for Sunday Go ta Meetin"

[Bawanna]

Guess I'd not survive one single meal with you guys or even a dessert. Pepperoni pizza sets my guts on fire. I don't even like pizza sauce.
Maybe that's why I'm so sickly and frail, I don't eat right?

[mr surveyor]

Good Grief, Bawanna! You can eat that stuff?

Pepperoni tears my stomach up.

My son-in-law is from Mexico. He told me that a Mexican can tell he's hungry when his a$$ quits burning!

[mr surveyor]

who else is sitting quietly at home tonight, doors locked, waiting.... waiting for this year to end?

Mrs surv and I rarely go to bed before midnight..or well after... except on New Years Eve. This year (tonight) will be an exception! I may just stay awake to watch the sunrise... just to make sure I'm still here when 2010 is gone.

Amazingly, we have had no major disasters this year, no deaths or serious setbacks, and a heck of a lot to be thankful for. No loss of employement in the family, we still have everything we started the year with (mostly) and relatively good health. Heck, I haven't ever wrecked a motorcycle this year, but equally, I haven't been eaten alive by ravenous pirhanas while skinnydipping in the Amazon..... could be because I see both equally disasterous for me.

I guess this year has just been downright depressing to me, particularly due to national politics and the recent, more rapid decline of our great country. Maybe in the next few days or weeks we will have something to be optimistic about... maybe some real "Hope and Change".

Rant over.... I'm gonna go read my well worn copy of the Constitution now and wait for the sun to rise on 2011.

Happy New Year, Y'all!

[Jeremiah/Az]

It has been a good year for me & I'm still on the right side of the dirt! I just got a new pup, blue Weimaraner, & pups alway keep me smilin'! Happy New Year all from Az.!

Happy New Year to all of you!

My wife should get home from work in about an hour and I'm going to have blackeyed peas and ham with fresh cornbread muffins... with butter, of course, and a big old sweet Vidalia onion to chop up and put on the peas as we eat them.

Hmmm... I wonder what wine goes with that. I guess she'll still have the Beaujolais Nouveau she's been drinking and I'll have my usual YellowTail Merlot. I had better get started on the cornbread! I hope she gets off on time and home before the New Year.

Wynn:)

[Bawanna]

I might try to stay up till 10. I've lost a few relatives, just lost my last washington uncle a week ago, really getting low on uncles. Still can't complain, good year. If I wake up breathing, it'll be a whole new year to give me another chance.
Every year they try to blow up the space needle, so far they haven't pulled it off, in fact a couple years ago all the fireworks control stuff apparently was out of wack and it was a really big dud. Oooops?

Guess they'll try again tonight.

[OldLincoln]

I'm the old fuddy-duddy in the family. I used up all my excitement and luck decades ago. Figure starting a new year is just doing it all over again and no need to stay awake for that. Now I did stay up for the new century eve as all nations seemed to make a big deal of it.

Here's hoping and praying the best for each of you. Happy New Year!

[TD2K]

I'm a little impaired on boxed wine right now.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[O'Dell]

It's not been too bad a year for me except for the unfortunate break in [I've recovered from that] in August and right now. [more on that later] The political scene was rather depressing most of the year with a bright spot in November. I hope I'm not being a Pollyanna, but I'm looking for better days in 2011. There were no disasters involving my various jobs, and I even got my 15 minutes, not once, but twice in 2010. I had a wonderful family Christmas with Vickie's family that left me all warm and fuzzy inside. No, I've seen worse years, a lot worse.

So what's wrong with right now - I've been all by myself since 10:00 PM on NEW YEAR'S EVE, that's what. Vickie went out with her sister to celebrate Kathy's birthday [Dec. 29th], and left me to close the restaurant and go home alone!!

[mr surveyor]

I stayed up til after midnight to make sure 2010 was in fact gone, then got up around 0630 to see the light of day in the East for the first time in what I intend to face as a good year. Attitude, attitude, attitude.....

Full steam ahead! Life is Good:)

[OldLincoln]

Yup! Good! I woke and rose at 11:11 AM on this 1/1/11 day. Pulse started up shortly after and it's worked all day. Time to put it to bed though. I missed my 11:11PM go to bed time.

A December To Forget
December 8:
6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season here and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window, watching the huge soft flakes drift down. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9:
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch
of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place
in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years, felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.

December 12:
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible.
Bob is such a nice guy, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14:
Snow, lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15:
20 inches forecast. Sold my car and bought 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and two extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16:
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my fanny on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17:
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for five hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 18:
Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the darn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. The stupid snowplow came by twice.Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware stores around to see about buying a snow blower, and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December19:
Bob was right about a white Christmas, because 13 more inches of the white stuff fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt 'til August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel, and then I had go to the bathroom. By the time I got undressed, and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel! Tried to hire Bob, who has a plow on his truck, for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the jerk is lying.

December 20:
Only 2" of snow today, and it warmed up to "0". The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What, is she nuts!!! Why didn't
she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did, but I think she's lying.

December 21:
6" Snow, packed so hard by the snow plow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the jerk who drives that snowplow, I'll drag him through the snow by his neck and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over everywhere I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the stupid snowplow.

December 22:
Merry Christmas. 20 more inches of the slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a idiot. If I have to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the micro wave.

December 23:
Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's
really getting on my nerves.

December 24: Temperature dropped to -30, and the pipes froze. Plumber
came after 14 hours of waiting for him; he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.

December 25: Warmed up to above -50. Still snowed in. The woman is driving me crazy!!!!!

December 26: 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 27: Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver. He is now suing me for a million dollars. The wife went home to her mother. 9" more predicted.

December 28: I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

[Bawanna]

WE NEED PICTURES!!!!:yo:

I'll do that today. How terribly thoughtless of me.

Love your last post, about the way I feel about snow too.

[Bawanna]

Ok, heres my DIY Stoeger. It was originally painted black so I stripped that all off and did a stain and oil finish. While I was there I decided since I really wanted the english stock version but my son couldn't find one I'd make it one.
Even found the little piece of the pistol grip I cut off. (why I dont throw stuff away???).

It's setting on top of a piece of Mesquite that Jlottmc sent me that he wants a set of grips made out of. AS you can see they are still in the very early stages of grip production, like still firewood.
But their day is coming soon and there'll be no fire involved here. (I hope).

[MikeyKahr]

Nice work, junior mod - I really like what you did with your DIY Stoeger, understated yet all business. And I'm sure there will be a nice Mesquite BBQ in your future once you make some dust whittling that new grip for jlottmc.

[jocko]

u know Bawanna, u do very very nice work. It amazes me!!! I love english stocks. how about Italian stocks. ???Do u make them for us dago's. They have alot of crooks in them, if u know what I mean.

[dusty10]

Just got back from a week out of town. How you going to make boards out of that log Bawanna? Chainsaw, bandsaw? Shoot man, I got chunks of Texas Mesquite already in board form, I got boxes full of the stuff. How much you want? :D

[Bawanna]

Well Dusty, fortunately my wife works part time in the office of a small sawmill and trucking company. Since this is way too big for my little bench bandsaw, she said the guys out there said they would cut it down to manegeable size.
I'm concerned since this piece is well seasoned and dry but also has cracks all over on both sides. I'm hoping once they make a cut they can see whats going on and cut me a couple nice slabs with no cracks.
If that fails and jlott's agreeable I might take you up on a couple chunks of your already milled mesquite. Not sure if theres an attachment to jlotts hometown mesquite or not.
I may be able to find some locally too never looked before, kind of anxious to see what it looks like inside.
If we're not snowed in I'm hoping wife can take it to work tomorrow. My first day back after my internal parts removal and I'm not looking forward to it at all. I think I'm allergic to work and I know there's gonna be a huge in my face pile to whittle on.

Also, since your on the line, are you certain you want to be scratched off the Ebony MK9 grip list. I have a piece on my lap as we speak. I seem to recall you said you liked the rubber. I do too but I'm a wood butcher and it would blow my rep to pack rubber grips. I have the originals for my K40, just keep em in the dark so no one sees them.

[jocko]

heh Bawanna, if I send you an old tire can you make me a pair of rubber grips for my K9. I want the all season type grips, if u know what I mean?????? U seem to be good at about anything you put your hands on..

[dusty10]

Bawanna, No problem on the mesquite. Offer stands if you ever need some small well seasoned chunks for grips. It's actually a pretty cool wood. It's a closed cell structure so is not affected by moisture as easily as most other woods. I really like the aroma of it. Makes my shop smell good. :D

I'll stick with the K9 original rubber grips for now. I'm carrying the PM9 presently so my shirt catching the rubber grips on the K9 is no longer an issue for me which was the main reason for wanting wood grips on the K9 in the beginning. I'm waiting on a holster for my PM45 too and will be occasionally carrying that. I guess I'm pretty fortunate when my first decision of the morning is which Kahr do I want to carry today. :)

[Bawanna]

I'll give it a try. Make it a Perelli (since your italian and all). You want studs for added grip control?
Might go well on your scooter and the studs on your biker vest and all.
Might not be a plus for the front pocket carry though. Have to ponder that.

[dusty10]

heh Bawanna, if I send you an old tire can you make me a pair of rubber grips for my K9. I want the all season type grips, if u know what I mean?????? U seem to be good at about anything you put your hands on..

:D Yeah, I have a old set of studded snow tires. Imagine the grip you could get on your K9 with those metal studs sticking out of the grips. :D

Roger that. I suspect once that PM45 gets in the rotation, those 9's wont see the light very often but I do like the K's and MK's. (wood grips, duh?) I got a pretty good size piece of ebony so it'll take me a while to use it up. Has a few cracks also so I'll need to be tactical in not wasting any of it.
I think Miss TD2k is up now along with Jlott quick as his wood gets cut. I'm gonna get everybody set one of these days. Old Lincolns 1911 grips are headed south tomorrow. Got my fingers crossed that those work good for him. Hoping I haven't lost any of my little notes with grips to make.

[wyntrout]

Hey, Bawanna', to change the subject a bit... I see your safe with a Post-It next to the dial. Is that the combination?? I can't quite make out the numbers. :D :boink:

Just doing a little lurking and a bit of friendly sniping here while I'm having my bowl of gruel. It's raining... finally... and I have to un-decorate the tree and pack all of that stuff away today.

Cheers!

I had to reinact the scene of the crime to see what you were talking about. That post it is actually a thank you note from Medyzyner for a set of grips I sent him. Been hanging there awhile.
The combination on a sticky note is a good idea though, wouldnt have to get a headache trying to remember all the time.
We've still got snow on the ground and cold but the suns out today. Haven't been outside for over a week, I think I need some air.

[wyntrout]

We don't miss the snow at all. We lived in or near Caribou, Maine, for 5 years or so. It's not so bad once the snow's there to stay... snow or frozen snow, instead of freezing mud slushy that quickly coats your headlights! :eek: You need the right kind of wiper blades, too.. the rubber "booted" ones or now the ones without all of the little tension arms that load up with ice and make the blades worse than useless.

Dang, got to get busy with a few things... like the tree... and some of my clutter. Y'all take care.

Wynn :) :hippie:

[TD2K]

I'll give it a try. Make it a Perelli (since your italian and all). You want studs for added grip control?
Might go well on your scooter and the studs on your biker vest and all.
Might not be a plus for the front pocket carry though. Have to ponder that.


That's an interesting concept....

I have a small bicycle "trunk" bag that goes under my bike seat that is made of an old bicycle tire. :D

[Bawanna]

I just got a Remington 700 back from Birdsong for one of the guys. I gotta tell ya this is my first experience with them although I've known of them for years. It is drop dead gorgeous and looks near perfect in everyway.

It's slightly flatter looking than a conventional blueing and supposedly tough as nails. It really looks nice and I have several toys of my own that will be getting the Birdsong treatment as the piggy bank allows.
I'd love to send my Hi Power off, I think it would look great.

I dont remember the exact cost but Ill try to find out, it wasn't near as much as I expected. Took about a month but this time of year I suspect it was longer than normal. Good stuff.

Just want to wish all us Mega Lotto players luck in tonight's $355 Million prize. I've always been a contributor so if you are the lucky one don't forget your good friends here at KahrTalk.

WOMEN'S ASS SIZE STUDY

There is a new study about women and
how they feel about their asses; the
results were pretty interesting:

30% of women think their ass is too fat............

10% of women think their ass is too skinny.......

The remaining 60% say they don't care,
they love him, he's a good man and
they wouldn't trade him for the world.

[mr surveyor]

I resemble that

[kahrseye]

A wife says to her husband that she wants to get breast implants. He says "breast implants? Why don't you just rub toilet paper on em, I'm sure they'll grow larger." Toilet paper? she asked. Why would you think rubbing toilet paper on my breasts would make them larger? Husband: Well you've been rubbing your ass with it for 25 years and look at how large it's gotten......Doctor said the husband will be out of the hospital in about 3 weeks.

[wyntrout]

Dang! No luck on the Mega Millions. I drove up to Georgia three times now, and only got back $14 on the previous trip... which paid for this trip... 72 miles or so roundtrip... driving 90 or so today. I took it easy on the previous two trips with my buddy riding along.
Not a cent tonight... and I was going to buy everyone a new Kahr.

[Bawanna]

Well just got home from planting my last washington uncle other side of the sod to find a nice package on my porch from Old Lincoln. 3 beautiful hunks of Spalted maple, I believe he posted some pics earlier so I won't duplicate.
Very nice stuff. I suspect it will need to be sent for stabilizing which I've never done before but always wanted to so we'll see how that goes.
Some pretty handles in the future I suspect. I shall keep ya posted.

Subject: $5.37









It could happen to any of us...
This is so funny; I hope you enjoy it.

$5.37! That's what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell said to me. I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two dimes and something that used to be a Jolly Rancher. Having already handed the kid a five-spot, I started to head back out to the truck to grab some change when the kid with the Elmo hairdo said the hardest thing anyone has ever said to me. He said, "It's OK. I'll just give you the senior citizen discount."

I turned to see who he was talking to and then heard the sound of change hitting the counter in front of me. "Only $4.68" he said cheerfully.

I stood there stupified. I am 56, not even 60 yet? A mere child! Senior citizen?

I took my burrito and walked out to the truck wondering what was wrong with Elmo. Was he blind? As I sat in the truck, my blood began to boil. Old? Me?

I'll show him, I thought. I opened the door and headed back inside. I strode to the counter, and there he was waiting with a smile.

Before I could say a word, he held up something and jingled it in front of me, like I could be that easily distracted! What am I now? A toddler?

"Dude! Can't get too far without your car keys, eh?" I stared with utter disdain at the keys. I began to rationalize in my mind.

"Leaving keys behind hardly makes a man elderly! It could happen to anyone!"

I turned and headed back to the truck. I slipped the key into the ignition, but it wouldn't turn. What now? I checked my keys and tried another. Still nothing.

That's when I noticed the purple beads hanging from my rear view mirror. I had no purple beads hanging from my rear view mirror.

Then, a few other objects came into focus. The car seat in the back seat. Happy Meal toys spread all over the floorboard. A partially eaten doughnut on the dashboard.

Faster than you can say ginkgo biloba, I flew out of the alien vehicle.

Moments later I was speeding out of the parking lot, relieved to finally be leaving this nightmarish stop in my life. That is when I felt it, deep in the bowels of my stomach: hunger! My stomach growled and churned, and I reached to grab my burrito, only it was nowhere to be found.

I swung the truck around, gathered my courage, and strode back into the restaurant one final time. There Elmo stood, draped in youth and black nail polish. All I could think was, "What is the world coming to?"

All I could say was, "Did I leave my food and drink in here"? At this point I was ready to ask a Boy
Scout to help me back to my vehicle, and then go straight home and apply for Social Security benefits.

Elmo had no clue. I walked back out to the truck, and suddenly a young lad came up and tugged on my jeans to get my attention. He was holding up a drink and a bag. His mother explained, "I think you left this in my truck by mistake."

I took the food and drink from the little boy and sheepishly apologized.

She offered these kind words: "It's OK. My grandfather does stuff like this all the time."

All of this is to explain how I got a ticket doing 85 in a 40. Yes, I was racing some punk kid in a Toyota Prius. And no, I told the officer, I'm not too old to be driving this fast.

As I walked in the front door, my wife met me halfway down the hall. I handed her a bag of cold food and a $300 speeding ticket. I promptly sat in my rocking chair and covered up my legs with a blankey.

The good news was I had successfully found my way home.

Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list.

Notice the larger type? That's for those of us who have trouble reading.

P.S. Save the earth...... It's the only planet with chocolate!!!!!

[Bawanna]

I just got Jlottmc's hunk of mesquite back from the saw mill and we're gonna be fine and dandy.

There's a few punk spots in it but lots of good solid wood to work with. Much prettier than I expected to be honest.

Alot more slabs than I anticipated also out of one chunk.

I'll try to take some pictures tonight and post them for your perusal.

It might be a good wood to get stabilized but I'm gonna play with it some and see if it holds up ok.

[jocko]

trust me: Bawanna is a laugh!!!

[Bawanna]

We'll chaulk this day up as a success.

[jlottmc]

Cool beans. I knew that little chunk of Mesquite would be good for something.

[Bawanna]

Dusty was right too, it smells really nice when you cut it, course if I'd buy a new blade for the bandsaw so it didn't burn as much as cut it probably would smell even better without that burnt smell.

Got a couple slabs cut, time to dig out the gun and start making it fit.

Pics later, burning day light.

[Bawanna]

Pretty darn quiet around here today! Nobody got nothing to stir things up a bit?

Anything?

Anything at all.

Too bad we dont have audio here, I could sing my version of Moon River not to be confused with Moon Shadow.
It'd make ya cry and beg for deafness I'm sure.

[mr surveyor]

nothing from me.... I'm trying to be more sensative

[Bawanna]

Maybe you could tell some of those sensitive tales about the indians that were around when you looked for your first corner monument?

You know, leave out the sensitive stuff, the flaming arrows, and smell of black powder in the air. Scalps on sticks.

[Bawanna]

So your saying Mr. Surveyors tales of surveying at the turn of the century are all a hoax? Boy did I fall for that one. I'm so gullible.................

[TD2K]

getting the cold white stuff falling from the sky today here in the O-K-C. I'm ready to be home in front of my warm fire with my puppies in my lap.

[Bawanna]

Request to leave your post early is approved. Please drive carefully.

It's darn cold here in the NW but no white stuff at the moment. Rumored to be approaching us also.

The woodstove and a Beagle in my lap could be in my future as well.

Course I got sawdust to make to so the Beagle might need a towel over him to keep the dust off.

[OldLincoln]

Here's another blog type entry.

I watched Sarah Palin's Alaska show last night. They went prospecting for gold and I was amazed at how much gold is just laying around up there. They found small stuff on the beach but a lot bigger off the bottom of the bay. The barge they went on claims to get $2K per hour in gold (probably on a good day).

I've heard of some out of work guys going up there to try their luck but it's not for me. I ran a suction hose on the river bottom one day for fun (and they supplied the gear). It was fun for a few minutes but became work fighting the current and punching the nozzle into the bottom. Can't do that anymo9re in CA. It might upset some tiny fish so they outlawed anything more than simple panning. Can't even use a simple sluice box anymore. I don't think they say anything about a tumbler though. Make a pan the right shape and set it on a vibrator and cut the work by 80%. If you tune it right the sand will rotate up and the gold stay on the bottom. Put a drain hole just above the bottom and you'd have a dandy rig.

Today I'll finish prepping my 2K casings. Got everything ready to paint my powder box except enough warmth outside to do it. Don't think the wife would like fire engine red overspray on her car. When I laminated the concrete panels to the outside, I had to bring it in the house to cure for 72 hours. This after letting it be in the garage for a couple hours. The smell was almost sickening and I know you're not supposed to breath it so I put it in a bathroom and we didn't use it for a couple days.

Anyway after the box is ready I'll get the powder and primers, practice a bit and then load my first round.

[mr surveyor]

see, Bawanna.... you shouldn't have tied my name to the monthly free for all thread..... I'm an insensitive, opinionated thread killing machine.....

three days without a post in the most popular BS thread on the forum?

I'm working on the sensitivity thing real hard.... well, kinda hard....o.k. not at all..... not worth the agony:D


surv:cool:

[Bawanna]

Thats the spirit Mr. Surveyor! It's all about attitude. I don't know how you got into this sensitivity dilemma anyhow. Lets move on to something we can sink our teeth into.

By the way, please thank your son for sending me a bank instrument. I really expected no compensation but it helps and it is appreciated. I was going to send him a letter explaining that I did if for love and thank him for sharing his dad with us here (insensitive as he is) but I figured he'd think I was wierd and associate me with that Normble Dietrich fella.
Thank him for me please.

Now get back to your old self and help get this forum motivated. Hoohah!

[mr surveyor]

the inserts on the SP101 get a lot of "wow" from my running buddies... I kinda like 'em too;)

Better cash the check before he spends all his money trying to buy the house next door.

Oh he must not of told ya, he's buying that house for me. You wanna be my neighbor or WHAT!:eek:
Heck I forget what kind of wood it was now too. I gotta go look at the picture so I'll remember. I hope.

[mr surveyor]

either balsa wood or mimosa...just can't remember

[Bawanna]

either balsa wood or mimosa...just can't remember

Negatory good buddy. I found a pic, it's called Sanchez Rosewood. Theres a million varieties of rosewood I have no idea how they name them all.

Wonder what the heck mimosa is, wonder if it's pretty.

[mr surveyor]

Sanchez, huh? Fitting for those of us in a border state:rolleyes:

Whatever kind of Rosewood, it's sure nice. The way I carry in the field every day, the durability of the checkering will certainly be tested. You did it right with the flat checkering style.... I shouldn't be breaking off the tips. And, they are much, much better feeling than the stock Ruger inserts, and as far as I'm concerned function is very high on the list for anything I keep around.

(And oh, by the way, how come we can't embed YouTube videos inline in here?)

[MikeyKahr]

Well how do we know that this video wasn't of jocko? I could tell the rider was leaning a bit to one side throughout, maybe it was his PM9 riding in his front pocket?

As for how one gets away with this - what can't one get away with in Moscow these days? The cops have bigger fish to fry than this rider - they know they'll just be able to peel him off the pavement or a tractor trailer one day.

[aray]

Well how do we know that this video wasn't of jocko? I could tell the rider was leaning a bit to one side throughout, maybe it was his PM9 riding in his front pocket?

Because it's Moscow. He leaned to the left. Jocko never leans to the left! :)

[OldLincoln]

I saw this VERY UGLY GRAPHIC PICS of a motorcycle "accident". BEWARE - REALLY THROW UP BAD! I had decided not to post but after seeing that video again I wanted to show the other end of his fun and games. BEWARE!! Pic of Dead Man.

Please don't ban me! I warned you DON'T Look at this (http://dalesdesigns.net/mc-crash.htm).

[MikeyKahr]

Because it's Moscow.

Au contraire my friend. Don't forget jocko's from Indiana - Moscow, IN 46156 to be exact. I just never realized that there was an eight-lane highway that ran through Moscow (population 441). Must be because of one of Obama's "Projects Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act". I also wonder about all the vehicles on the road? Must have been buy one gravy biscuit get one free night at the Becky's Emporium and Truck Stop? One last thing I don't get - jocko couldn't post a picture if his life depended on it on our discussion board, and yet he can wire up the camera and go for a spin like this, and post on YouTube no less? Something's not adding up. :crazy:

[Bawanna]

Maybe we've been bamboozled and he's really a techy cross dresser who loves Kawasaki's and it's all a big charade?

Say it ain't so, I don't think I could take that one.

I saw the full text of this post some time back and amazingly enough the dead man actually lived. He sure looks dead in the picture for sure but the report said he actually survived.

Unbelievable..........................

well it just looks to me like the fella wanted to see what was in the back of the semi trailor!!!!

You read this thread much Mr. Jocko. I can't believe we're not seeing the froth from your latte here. It's adds some credibility to some of the previously mentioned possiblilitys and I find that very scary.

That's awesome. I know i can't be the only sicko here that likes to see the result of stupid like that. Almost why trucks now have a Jane Mansfield bar on them. Looks like he broke his neck when he hit that and went to endo (flip over the front handle bars). I do love me some splat. The only pictures I have seen lately that have been better was of dead gang bangers. Yes, I'm the guy that sits in the back of the room wanting to see more of those pictures.

Uncle takes a belt to his nephew to keep him in line and out of gangs. Ya don't see discipline like that much anymore in our society.

[jlottmc]

That's what I'm talking about. I love that one too. Nothing wrong with a little old school discipline. And yes when my child needs it she gets it.

[TD2K]

I went head to head with a semi truck one time. and walked away with only a sprained wrist and a bloody nose from the airbag.

Can't say the same for my Camry though. :(

A wheel on each corner, like your Camey, definitely improves your chances! ;)


and that's good advice... even coming from someone that puts a million miles a year on a bicycle.... even without training wheels:)

I like my van with its extra height and at least frontal airbags. Airbags are nice... just in case... like TD2K's head-to-head. You can be doing everything right and have some bozo cross the median and hit you head on... drunk, sleeping, or even intentional :eek:

Hey! Did you watch the Trailer For Making "I like guns"? You can buy the DVD. A bunch of Aussie guys went to Cambodia to make the video... crazy! I liked the part where the guy buys a "used" car off a local and drives it off to become a target.

In 2011, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day. That is an ironic turn of events: One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication on the future, while the other involves a groundhog.

Meanwhile...

Eileen and her husband Bob went for counseling after 25 years of marriage.
When asked what the problem was, Eileen went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 25 years they had been married.
She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking Eileen to stand, embraced her, unbuttoned her blouse and bra, put his hands on her breasts and massaged them thoroughly, while kissing her passionately as her husband Bob watched with a raised eyebrow!
Eileen shut up, buttoned up her blouse, and quietly sat down while basking in the glow of being highly aroused.
The therapist turned to Bob and said, 'This is what your wife needs at least three times a week.. Can you do this?'
Bob thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I play golf.

[Bawanna]

My people on the ground at SHOT had an audience with Mrs. Moon yesterday. Perhaps audience is overstated. They visited with her at the Kahr booth. She sent me goodies! :D:D
They report that she is just the sweetest nicest lady. Very timid, very shy but very cordial and polite. One other insider secret that I will keep to myself if only to imply that I know something you don't. Nothing to do with guns, I wouldn't hold out on that. They asked to take her picture for me but her shyness ruled that out. I was proud that they didn't denigrate or resort to cheap gutter talk in their description of her. There was no sign of Mr. Moon while they were in the area. Apparently the Kahr booth was off a bit by itself and away from the LE area where these guys would be living I'm sure.
I guess I have to appease myself with knowing someone that actually met Mrs. Moon in person. That is my one big regret in not going was not being able to meet them both and hopefully get a picture with them to brag to all my pals here.
Perhaps next year it will happen.

[Bawanna]

A preacher was making his rounds on a bicycle when he came upon a little boy trying to sell a lawn mower. 'How much do you want for the mower?' asked the preacher.

'I just want enough money to go out and buy me a bicycle,' said the
little boy.

After a moment of consideration, the preacher asked, Will you take my
bike in trade for it?'

The little boy asked if he could try it out first, and, after riding the
bike around a little while, said, 'Mister, you've got yourself a deal.'

The preacher took the mower and began to crank it. He pulled on the rope
a few times with no response from the mower.

The preacher called the little boy over and said, 'I can't get this
mower to start.'

The little boy said, 'That's because you have to cuss at it to get it
started.'

The preacher said, I can't cuss. It's been so long since I became a
Christian that I don't even remember how to cuss.'

The little boy looked at him happily and said,

'You just keep pulling on that rope. It'll come back to ya.

[Bawanna]

My boys sent me a picture of what they acquired for me at SHOT and I'm beside myself. One of the things is an autographed poster of Mrs Moon, the Kahr poster. She even wrote To Bawanna on it. I'm already pondering a suitable place of honor to hang it up. Might even get it framed and covered with glass so all this saw dust don't deface it.
Very special. Only way it could have been cooler was if I was there in person but this is a close second.
They report that Mrs Moon and the other reps didn't know much about us here at Kahrtalk and never heard of a Bawanna, how sad is that.
They said she was pretty bored sitting at a table as Justin was in meetings all day.
It's almost like Wynns gunbroker new gun, I'm just so excited I had to tell somebody.
I'll post a picture of the poster soon as I can get back to my other computer.

[jocko]

Bawanna: I meet her at the shot show NRA convention in Louisville a few years back. she is indeed shy and quiet and as beautiful as any photo to. Met Justin also, he is a small fella and very quite but one can just tell he is a genius. Also had a chance to meet Jody Porter one of the kahr reps who I had conversed with alot on the ar-15 forum. She is one foxey young lady to, very personable. That was the year they introduced the P380 also. You better cherish that signed photo my friend, course if you want I will send you a signed photo of me laying on the highway after my motorcycle wreck all covered with choclate ICE CREAM. with a 800#motorcycle on top of me. If u look real hard you can see my trusty PM9 still in my front pocket..

[Bawanna]

Ooohhh I'd like that. I'll hang your picture right next to Mrs Moons. Don't mess up the Bawanna, remember 2 N's, its a common spellin. It was chocolate huh? Never heard that part. I've always been a vanilla guy myself. No matter ice cream is ice cream and don't mix well with Harley's.
You can no doubt attest to that.

[Bawanna]

Bawanna never bogarts.

[OldLincoln]

OK fellas, here she is. She is a very nice beautiful woman, play nice.

http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx269/OldLincoln/MrsMoon-Web.jpg

[Bawanna]

My people tell me she really is very nice and pleasant. Shy and timid.

She even spelled my name right (its a common spelling). This will reside in a place of honor for a very long long time, well long as I got anyhow.

Make a good backdrop for future pictures which someday I hope I learn how to post big.

Thanks Old Lincoln for posting and Tucson for offering.

Sorry about calling you a forum whore the other day, I don't know what came over me. Maybe too much sawdust. Going for more soon.

[jocko]

does she have a sister. this gal is truly one beautiful woman indeed, she does the kahr line "justice" to. class = class!!

I guess that means my autographed picture with me laying in the highway with my Harley on top of me and I'm all covered with choclate milk shake,,, will coming off your wall now-huh??? not fair as I went through alot to ge tthat photo for you...

[wyntrout]

Dang, Jocko. You ought to offer those for sale... autographed, of course.

I still cannot help but to think she looks a little like my daughter Jasmine may look at that age. There are some similarities in her facial structure, and Jazz's hair is the same color as Mrs. Moon.

No, you cannot have pictures, Jasmine is 5!! :D

[jlottmc]

Just what are you trying to say John? I put some of my child up a while back when I got back from the range, and she was suiting up. Thought it was quite cute, and she's 3 now.

I'd suggest a good shotgun and a comfortable rocking chair on the front porch or a recliner near the front door.
Your gonna have some callers.

My daughters last boyfriend before her current finance who is ok once said to me, you know I've never been here when you weren't either sharpening your knife or cleaning your gun. Hmmm perhaps a hidden message.

My daughter tells me her friends ask "Does your dad like your finance?" She tells them he must, he's still alive.

[jlottmc]

I have a Ka-Bar that always seems to need sharpening, and shot gun among several others that I just can't seem to get clean. Funny how that works though. I've also been known to come in from the range when my little sister brought some one home. Pure coincidence, I promise. ;)

[Bawanna]

Just got the real Mrs Moon poster brought by my pard. It's more impressive in person than the picture. Way cool. I'm gonna get it framed for sure.

He also brought me a hat and a Tommy Gun pin that she had to go in the back to get, "very special". It's way cool to, like a lapel pin.

Never been this jazzed about a poster before but I guess when its the head mans wife and she signed it to me personal it's " Very Special!"

So now it's official, the Kahr model really is Mrs. Moon....You know some guys have all the luck...Justin is rich, famous, a genuine genius and has a drop dead gorgeous wife to boot....Mommy where did I go wrong????...:p

This is right on the line, Boss feel free to delete if you want but please don't ban me, wouldn't be good for my rep and I have no where else to go. I sent it to Jocko and he insist he sent it on to his priest and his parole officer and they said it was good. He said we're all adults, kind of exagerated for myself but I've always been young for my age. So with fingers crossed,

Politically Incorrect and Totally Insensitive

1. In a local sports bar trivia quiz the other night, I lost by one point.
The question was, where do women mostly have curly hair? Apparently, it's Africa

2. One of the other questions was to name two things commonly found in cells.
It appears that Mexicans and African Americans is not the correct answer

3. I've heard that Apple has scrapped their plans for the new children's-oriented iPod ,
after realizing that iTouch Kids is not a good product name.

4. A new Muslim clothing shop opened here in Sanford,
but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some bomber jackets

5. You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles , but at least they drive slowly past schools

6. A friend of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin.
I asked, "How can you tell them apart?"
He said, "Her brother has a moustache"

7. Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on FaceBook.
I said "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!"
Next thing I know 4000 Muslims have added me as a friend!!

8. Being a modest man, when I checked into my hotel on a recent trip, I said to the lady at the registration desk ...
"I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled."
To which she replied, "No, it's regular porn, you sick bastard.”

9.The red cross knocked at my door asking if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan .
I said I would love to, but my hose only reaches the bottom of the driveway.

My wife reports she just picked up a nice poster frame to display my autographed poster of Mrs. Moon.

She flat refused to hang it in the living room where I planned so I guess it will hold a place of honor in my man cave.

I'll post a pic once I get it in a suitable and honorable location.

I'm still jazzed about it.

[getsome]

I say if you want to Moon the living room then by God you have every right to do so!!!...Wait, the boss is calling...Whats that dear? Of course my angel I'll be right there for your foot massage just let me tell my Kahr Talk friends how much I love the new cat sculpture you brought home for the den, It looks fabulous there where my old favorite recliner used to be....(Now y"all see how I keep order in my man castle, once you start letting the little lady think they are in control it's all over boys!!!).....I'm coming darling and I haven't forgot your glass of wine and the new Cosmopoltan....I gotta go boys...:roll:

[Bawanna]

The truth right there in black and white.

[jocko]

super Bawanna, just keep um coming. rotflmao!!!

[Bawanna]

Dang didn't know Hillary had a twin. Theres an ugly tree close by, count on it.

[Bawanna]

Thought I'd already posted this one, long as I'm riding on the edge might as well let er go today.

Dear Abby:

My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit-card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money.

He says pay the minimum and let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest.

Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more.

Also, he has gotten religious. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ, and the next he's with Muslims.

Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath.

It's just so horribly creepy! Can you help?

Signed, Lost in DC


Dear Lost:

Stop whining, Michelle. You can divorce the jerk any time you want.
The rest of us are stuck with him for two more years!

[OldLincoln]

Bawanna sent these pics to me for posting. Well, actually he is behind on his blackmail payments so I'm giving the pics up. Won't say what else I have, but he''l have a check in the mail tomorrow fur sure.

[Bawanna]

Darn you post good pics Old Lincoln, I sent for a courier, didn't want to take the chance on waiting till tomorrow on the blackmail check.

That little picture on the lower right of the poster is me and my bow and arrow Goat in a previous vertical life. Some very tough climbing, but wonderful memories.
I still have the arrow and the tag and the heads mounted just to the right wall adjacent to Mrs Moon. Didn't think should have moved over and got an angle shot.

Thanks for posting these Old Lincoln.

[MW surveyor]

Never mind

[jocko]

she is absolutly one beautiful gal, She deserves a better wall than Bawanna's IMO.

[mr surveyor]

and what's the photo to the lower left of the poster?

[Bawanna]

My wife! In an earlier life. Took it at the fair. Actually they put her head on that body but with a wardrobe change it looks just like her. "Then".

[Bawanna]

The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited.
Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on
productive salesmanship.

Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she said
proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and
I credit that approach for my obvious success."

"Very good," said the teacher.

Little Jenny was next:

"I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that
magazines would keep them up on current events."

"Very good, Jenny," said the teacher..

Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn.

The teacher held her breath ...

Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of
cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467," he said.

"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling"

"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.

"Toothbrushes," echoed the teacher,

"How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"

"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip &
Chip stand, I gave everybody who walked by a free sample."

They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog ****!"

Then I would say,"It is dog ****. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

"I used the Obama governmental approach of giving you something ******, but
looks good, for free, and then making you pay to get the ****** taste out of
your mouth."

[MW surveyor]

Heard this before but it is still a good one.

So I'm sitting (what else am I gonna do) in my cubicle minding my own business, trying to stay awake when one of the sgts walks up and hands me a little zippered soft case with a North American Arms mini 22 in it.
I'm like so what am I doing with this, evidence, cleaning, storage what? I've already got a couple of his guns trying to sell them for him.

He says keep it, add it too your collection, it's yours. Good thing I was already sitting!.

I asked if he was serious and he said he was and walked away. Granted it's not a new Wilson or a 1911 or a T Series Kahr but its in perfect condition, dont even look like it's been shot. So happy Friday to me, I got almost a new gun.

Cute little bugger. Thinking about mounting a sling stud on it and wearing it as an earring. Maybe I'll bring it along and shoot it this weekend trying out my batch of reloads.

Mrs Moon poster and a new gun in one week. I'll surely pay for this next week.

I know, I know pictures or it didn't happen, I'll take care of that at home, don't got a camera here. OK?

[mr surveyor]

I've been "intending" to buy a NAA Mini for the last 30 years. Good for you Bawanna... I hope it's a shooter.

[OldLincoln]

Hmmm, wonder if there's a kid feeling good that he got off with his pot trashed and gun taken. That and a hard lecture. Street cops can tell when a kid may go straight if the right words are spoken and a small reminder that he'll remember. I'm glad they don't just follow "the book" in every case.

[Bawanna]

That was my first thought but that doesn't happen around here ever. By the book always and the slightest stray and your gone. I've seen it happen.

The Sarge owned this for many years, just never did anything with it.

Theres a lot that have been seized that I'd love to have, had to watch em get melted down into manhole covers. I don't mind telling you I cried out loud. Sometimes theres no saving them, the law says they get destroyed thats it game over.

I also ran the serial number to check for stolen, always cover your 6.

[mr surveyor]

what happened to Tuscon...and why is Mrs Tuscon posting under his name?

There needs to be an investigation

[mr surveyor]

Well I guess next weeks payment plan is here! My wife loves the little FREE NAA 22. She wants it.:eek: I think it's kind of cute myself.
I had planned to try shooting it this weekend but alas my son woke up energetic so we tackled some home maintenance issues. A good day and moms happy but no shooting.
Next weekend shooting is inked in. I'm way over due.

Should I give up my little NAA to the missus or play tough love and tell her to go get her own. It's so tiny I'm afraid she'd lose the darn thing.

Help.

[Bawanna]

That would be a "no brainer" at our house. Every pistol I give to SWMBO comes back to me. Periodically. For cleaning. :D

Ok, I'm gonna look dumb again but I don't see SWMBO in any of my book of abbreviations.

Your answer will also make you a senior, expect fireworks, confetti and the start of a weeklong celebration when you hit the post button.

I'm putting on my party hat and tooter horn as we speak.

[mr surveyor]

She Who Must Be Obeyed

don't remember who originated it, but a comedian thing from several years ago

[mr surveyor]

o.k.

Tuscon has to take over the rest of the Bawanna Watch Day Shift:D

I'm goiong out in the rain and pretend to work now:)

[Bawanna]

You play with that noisemaker outside. I know it never rains in AZ but we don't need no holes in the roof.

Nice party hat.

[mr surveyor]

January has been Good. My attitude adjustment therapy has been successful. :D

[MikeyKahr]

Should I give up my little NAA to the missus or play tough love and tell her to go get her own. It's so tiny I'm afraid she'd lose the darn thing. Help.

Help here! I'd suggest playing nice with the missus and hold onto the IOU(Bawanna45cal) card for use at a later date. Valentine's Day is coming up, don't forget. Keeping it in the family is a good thing too, I'm sure she'll let you take it out for a spin when you get the urge.

[Bawanna]

Good thought, still in the family. I'll still get to hold it and play with it now and then. Hmmm guess I'll be a nice guy. Hope that don't shock her too bad. Out of character.

[MikeyKahr]

Women dig surprises. It's good to keep her on her toes, keeps life interesting. Posted with even a minute left to spare in January!

[MikeyKahr]

Just make sure she is sitting down? ;)

Actually, you can't fool us. Under that rough exterior beats a heart of gold . . . or some other highly valuable material. :D

Definitely agree! That's been clear as day to me since day one, that heart of gold stuff.

[Bawanna]

You guys make me blush.:o
