Let’s hope you don’t get a case of “Garand thumb”

I hate to admit I’ve never fired my Garand. I’m actually not even sure if it’s 7.62x51 or 30-06. It’s a 1954, Baretta made one, and it was just around that time they were standardizing nato ammo.

Anywayzzzzz. Back to your regular programming.

I think the Italian gun was a 7.62 NATO, but I'd be happy to research it for you. This one is a 1943 model Springfield Armory. I'm not sure where it came back to the US from, but it had collected some scud along the way. As I was fiddling with the gas tube, yet another piece of spring fell out. I put all the pieces in a line and laid the new spring beside tham, and it's another couple of inches longer. Go figure. That'll give a good dose of The Thumb.


I've never had The Thumb, but I did smash my index finger once. I'm still a bit ashamed by that.

Good morning everyone
Up and out early before it hits 100
Watering our girls

The landlady scored 3 chickens for the new coop, so she'll pick them up today.


She told me to pick names. I don't think that they need names.

 

[Hipshot1554]

Absolutely! I hate to see what was once farmland paved over. Floods are a big problem in my area.

Flooding is a reality in mine. The lack of forethought, combined with climate change, is moving the flood plain steadily north. Insurance rates as well.

At least one needs to be named pecker …..

Interview is postponed until 0930 tomorrow. Okay. Shit happens in the HR world.


Grass is cut. Driest it's been all season, and I got the best job all season, too.


And the most dust.

Us too. We have two class one waterways cutting through our farm. Major erosion issues - esp in the last few years.

 

[Hipshot1554]

One farmer in my area is suing the govt. over highway construction that effectively blocks the drainage off his property.

 

[cowboyup6977]

The government did the same here
Took out the natural flow and trying to make water take tight turns
All it does is create more flooding problems
We had a Cat and dozier come in and build levy’s around the house and barn
With out let pumps to pump the rain water out
One rancher sued and lost

Will you be serving? I;d go for a cuppa w you...

No thanks, you might want to try someone else.

There is/was a paperwork glitch in getting my new old rifle shipped out. It seems sometimes that doing things legally and "the right way" really adds to the pain-in-the-ass factor. No matter. I used an old construction management thing I learned back when we were finishing up the last pyramid: put the fuckers together and make them sort out their own shit. All I could be is the middleman, and I ain't a'doin' that shit no mo'. The guy who "needs stuff" emailed back that he'd "take care of it." My guess is, he's also the vender and he's the one who gets the review. Odds are, he doesn't want a shitty one. Wat is capable of writing a couple of chapters if you perturb his ass. Likewise if you solve shit and git 'er dunn.

You'd think that on something with "lit" in the title/name . . . .


Ah reckon that's what we gets fer thenkin' . . . .

 

[pinkhighlighter]

Come sit by me, girl! We can commiserate!

For sure! . Nice to meet you!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Because it just happened to pop up on my feed . . . .

THat was it. He sat and extended a hand as she looked at him. So she went to investigate and he spoke. Deciding he is okay, she continued, and he picked her up and she settled into his lap as they continued to converse.


I could have been on the moon for all either of them cared.


He's a cat guy, so he knows.

He is the cat whisperer

 

[Wat_Tyler]

He is the cat whisperer

In a manner of speaking, yes, as am I. She was tuned into him, and he into her.


She's a really smart cat, and he's one of the smartest humans I know.


How's your day goin'?

Arthur Fonzerelli on a knucklehead the first season of the show. The bike was too big for him and he couldn't do shit with it. They got him the little bike the next year. Next time you see the bomb shelter episode, watch when they roll him in and he almost loses the thing. He was certainly happier on the little bike. The got him a leather jacket, too.


And Wat would give someone's testicles (not his - not his grown anyway) for the Knucklehead.

Okay, best laugh of the day. Not sure whether I prefer Charlie's Angels or the dishes.


My first guess was One, Two, and Three.

How's your day goin'?

Pretty good. Met with the principal at the local elementary school to see how we could support her and the students. I belong to a service organization called la Sertoma and our mission statement has to do with literacy and education. I'm the new president and I'm putting some new stuff in place. So far on the first day of school like set up day we're bringing breakfast and I got some new gifts for two new teachers and we're going to have a raffle for the other teachers to win something, we're going to have them come to our Festival to set up to do a back to school event. Provide haircuts, bookings, school supplies and a couple other things, help parents fill out forms for people that are not filling them out correctly or at all we're going to give them assistance. I have somebody willing to donate books to their book drives because that's a reward for the kids. They just had all of their picnic tables at the school vandalized by some jackass jumped on top of them and broke them all they're like the shape of a v. So I'm trying to work with somebody to get a couple new picnic tables. Just using some of my resources to try to fill in the gaps. So overall a good day we were there too long but people get chatty. Now I'm back at home filling out my self-assessment for my review. And I even got some puppy dog snuggles from Sven the German Shepherd puppy next door. He heard me drive up and came running. I'm pretty sure I may be his best friend. He has this new thing now where he grabs my hand with his mouth and leads me places. It's very funny. How is your day going?
