As an aside, we discovered salt peter, potassium nitrate in a different way. All those drug store guys probably wondered what these kids were doing with all the salt peter. "Making a corned beef sir, what else"? Mixed 50/50 with sugar it makes a very flammable powder. As it burns, it produces that same lava like stuff that drips off the end of highway flares.

As were most red blooded boys back then, anything that caught on fire or exploded immediately had our full attention. We found many uses for this substance.

If they defund the police, what do they expect? Gangs will come and no one will be there to protect them. I'd be scared and rightly so. What about the people who didn't want the police defunded? They don't get protection now, either....

I ain’t skeered




One day on a lonely bit of road a police officer sees big sur 51 speeding in his pickup.

So the police officer pulls him over and tells biggy that he was speeding a bit, but then notices all these guns in the pickup truck.

There is a gun rack with rifles and shotguns behind the driver and the driver has two revolvers on each hip, a .45 across his chest and a small ankle gun.

The police officer says, "Bigs , what are you afraid of?"

Biggy says, "Not a damn thing.”

Support your second amendment right to bear arms and do so. Make dam sure to go sign up for one of those 1 or 2 week training programs out west, like Frontsight. There are several. Practice practice practice.

Most importantly, get your mind right. Some maybe cant. Deadly force is permanent and there will be a ton of "paperwork" trust me. If you cant contemplate that, then I would be worried. Very worried.

Things to think about: Those coming that worry you....who are they, and who supports them? These are basic investigatory points to ask. One of the first lessons in cross examination is 2 part. Never ask the question you dont already know the answer to, and never ask "Who, or "how" Why? Because they will begin with a bunch of Bee Ess you cant object to because you opened the door by asking! Why are these rules? To avoid untrue narratives being given as evidence. Or at least a path to avoid that.

Today, nothing is "investigatory" anymore. It's about create a narrative that supports some far fetched pile that one supports and vilify all those that oppose you and suppress their First amendment right to voice the contrary, or to make a living. Exactly what the founding Fathers warned about, and the authors of the Constitution carefully framed to prevent.

Strange, the Constitution seems to be relegated to something that's just "in the way" of some folks.

If you don't like whats going on and you havent already, everyone should ask these and all questions. Especially question those that rise up in opposition to your inquiry, whoever they may be, and what ever party if any.

Hmmm....lot to think about there Bubba. First of all, how did this happen. It seems like half the country wants to destroy everything we stand and have fought for. Freedom ain't free! Seems like those who want to change America don't really have a clue what they want to to change it to.

If this country is so bad why does everybody want to come here. But at the end of the day I have found avoiding those individuals is the best solution for me. I'm not gonna change their mind and THEY DAMN SURE ARN'T GONNA CHANGE MINE.

Don't ask me about my politics and I won't ask you about yours. If ya want to talk fishing that will be ok. But if you start preaching I will ask you to go away.

My work in the grow is done....now time to work in the sun. Hotter that a firecracker out there but I have to get shit done.

Waiting for lawn to dry after yesterday's storm. Nice bright sun, shouldn't take long, won't help with heat.

Well, my plans for today just took a shit. Old Hen comes in and says, "I think we've got a problem."
It's a tone reserved for an oh fork moment. The 130 gallon aquarium popped a leak. Busy draining it down and netting fish. Gonna take 'em back where I got 'em and give them away. Can't stand to think of them dying on my watch.
Could be worse. House ain't on fire.

130 gal aquarium.....holly crap. Sounds like a lot of work to me. Sorry Hippy. Just got all my bushes trimmed. Had to take a water break. I just can't take the heat anymore. Will be at this all day at this pace.

Hippie ask to see if the guy can rent you the use of one of his tanks at their store for a day or so ,instead of giving them all away
Unless you are done with fish tanks , I loved all the ones I had .

Maybe when the fish are dried out you can make a dry tank
So much easier to care for

@ GW....ever notice the lawmakers calling to defund the police always have private security. They will be fine....the rest of us are screwed.

Or they demand police protection at the drop of a hat................

If they defund the police, what do they expect? Gangs will come and no one will be there to protect them. I'd be scared and rightly so. What about the people who didn't want the police defunded? They don't get protection now, either....

It is about whose ox is being gored. Those colliding with the police are not as fond of them as those depending on them for protection.

We only used it for black gun powder.

Tons of paperwork and money. When I got my concealed carry license, it cost about $10K in legal fees to defend yourself after shooting someone, even if you were legal and justified. The DA's around here just don't like the idea of people being shot for any reason.

If this country is so bad why does everybody want to come here. But at the end of the day I have found avoiding those individuals is the best solution for me. I'm not gonna change their mind and THEY DAMN SURE ARN'T GONNA CHANGE MINE.

The key point!!! Why do all these folks try so hard to move here, just so they can change it to more like the place they are trying to escape...............

You velly rucky boy.......... My friend came back from a weekend hiking to find that his tank had earlier failed and besides the hardwood floors buckling, the place stank of dead fish.
