[Girthang]

Good morning folks..........the second pot of coffee is dripping..........I have to take the florescent lights down in the garage and replace them with some low energy LED's.............speaking of guns............the Director bought me a Remington .270 for my birthday in 2011...........the trigger lock has never been off of it.........I had a 9mm and a .380 but I have only shot them a couple of times............we also have two Berna pepper spray guns........we have taken them out and shot them a couple of rounds.........when I was much younger I didn't mind roaming the hills and dales of Hardin Co. hunting one thing or another............I have never felt comfortable with a pistol in my hand........the Director left the mountains of NC at 17yrs old to come to Louisville to go to school..................her daddy gave her $100 dollars and a .38 revolver.........When we got married I had her give it back to him......he later shot/killed a man in self defense with it............

Next purchase will likely be a revolver and possibly another 9mm pistol.

I'm good with either. Liked my rifles when I was younger. Much prefer pistols right now. Can still draw quick and shoot center really well for now. Hope I keep my aim and steadiness. I seem to shoot better off a draw than when I'm taking my time.

Good morning D, read John 4, absolutely a beautiful morning here in the Berg!!!!

Going to see my son this morning, have about 20 #bekind ornaments to deliver.

WC, went trout fishing yesterday, got our limit of 8 each, I brought home 10 good filets!!!

Bert I enjoyed your story about Joe B when we were talking!!!

Those of you that have Uncle Ken Christmas ornaments, would like to see a picture of them on your tree!

I saw the post about hourly wages and YOU ARE RIGHT, they won't work, it's too hard in a whinny voice!!!!! My best friend is head of maintenance at Toyota in Georgetown, he was telling me that they are taking seniors right out of high school, putting them in the maintenance program and in 4 years they will be making over $100,000 a year!!!! When I was at Dyno they would hire someone then in a few days quit because it's too hard of work!!!!! Kitty cats!!!!!!LOL

I hope the D has a great day and always prayers for the D!!!!

Probably told this story here before but will tell it again.

Buddy and I were returning some gifts and such to Walmart, waiting in line at the return desk of course, when we overheard 2 young people talking about how many days they "still had to work" so that they "could be fired and collect unemployment." We both just stood there with "Wth" written all over our faces.

Best thing for this country would be for unemployment to end for the able bodied, and be given instead as work subsidies for those individuals who served their country to help them get back into the work force and acclimated to civilian life.

We've offered enough incentives to those that don't want to work to pay off the national debt a couple times. Incentivize work. Stop incentivizing sloth!

I can't shoot a pistol worth a crap, but they do say the best was often is just to stare at the target and shoot.

No names, but I was quick drawing against a cardiovascular surgeon back in the 1970's. He shot first but I did not see him hit anything, so I took a really good aim and hit the target. Then to my right I hear all the vulgarity. He had shot himself in the right leg.

The third guy shooting with us was also a surgeon, so he fixed him up and waited about 6 hours so they could determine what tissue was dead. The other doc took him to the hospital and operated on his leg with a local. The gun shot was never reported to the police.

I often remind him of this wild west action that he took long ago. It gets him going. Years later we had a reunion of the "shooters" and here he is with the infamous gun and holster:

What's a "yuse". I heard this word used by a lady I worked with from Pennsylvania, she was always referring to yuse and yuses.

When she said that it always reminded me of "My Cousin Vinny" and his yutes. Is a yuse anything like a yute?

View embedded media

Yuse is a great word. A mispelled contraction of bad grammar "you is". Yuses much like Ya'll.

Plus twice on Fox yesterday one of the fox folks mentioned the safety being off. 19th century single action guns don't have a safety. Geeze, if you don't know what you are talking about then don't say a word.

The girl that mentioned the safety was Kayleigh Mcenany.

Plus you can shoot a single action gun without touching the trigger is you pull the trigger back enough to hit the shell hard enough to discharge the bullet prior to getting it back far enough to catch.

Good grief, a typical Dixie chick. Oops! But why am I not surprised?

Next purchase will likely be a revolver and possibly another 9mm pistol.

My Mammaw packed a 5 shot 32 revolver in her apron. Shocked my friends almost as much as the 12" gold fish in the bath tub.

When I was stationed in Turkey, we had 4 planes loaded with nukes ready to be in the air on the way to Russia within 2 minutes of the alarm. We also had a back up area with bombers that would have to be loaded with nukes before taking off within 2 hours. At different times there would be 30 to 70 of these back up planes. There were buildings where the people who manned these jobs worked during the day. As security, we had access to these buildings. When it was cold outside or rainy, it took us awhile to check these buildings thoroughly. One of the guys was playing quickdraw in front of a mirror in one of the bathrooms and shot the mirror out.

A gun safety story:

In November and early December 2001, I was traveling in Afghanistan with Mujhadeen militia who were looking to kill or capture bin Laden for the CIA's $25 million reward. These guys were the furthest thing from trained soldiers and carried their weapons in all sorts of haphazard fashion. (see below, photos taken by my photog buddy.)

I noticed the young, fresh faced kid below in particular kept randomly pointing his AK-47 at me as we marched along without realizing it. I was pretty exhausted by this time, and my judgment was eroded. So at one point I approached the kid, motioned for him to show me his weapon. He was confused at first, but did so out of innate politeness. So then I started trying to show him how to properly carry it, pointed down and away.

He seemed to actually be catching on, when this older guy, probably an uncle or at least a clansman, walked up with a snarl on his face, motioned me to hand the gun back, then ratcheted a round into the chamber of his AK, pointed it square at my chest, put his finger on the trigger, then started making BOOM BOOM BOOM noises like he was firing, then laughed in my face. I guess I had humiliated the kid, and so he was going to put me in my place.

That ended my career as a gun safety officer. But I will note, THE GUN DID NOT GO OFF WITHOUT A TRIGGER PULL. Take that, Alec Baldwin.

One of the guys was playing quickdraw in front of a mirror in one of the bathrooms and shot the mirror out.

I understand how that could happen. My greatest victory was the one over the beast in the mirror.

Good morning D-Leaguers

Woke up to 47° with fog on the lake and surrounding area. The sun will melt that away as we reach a high today of 68°. Only a 2% chance of rain the man just said on the radio.

After listening to Baldwin's interview I have asked all of my guns, including my little pesky, sassy derringer to not fire or shoot anybody unless I have my finger on the trigger and I am pointing them at something or somebody. They all agreed and promised but I have to watch Mr Derringer very close.

Liberals actually believe these guns have a mind of their own and can do what they want to do without a human directing them.

Trust all have a good day. Read John 7

I keep mine pointed away from me on the end table within easy reach. Told my wife if it ever turns toward me even a little bit, the bullets are coming out and he's going in a drawer. Be damned if my gun is going to go rogue and shoot me after the good life I've given it.

Had green bean casserole last night at a Christmas party. Was gooood.

Plus twice on Fox yesterday one of the fox folks mentioned the safety being off. 19th century single action guns don't have a safety. Geeze, if you don't know what you are talking about then don't say a word.

The girl that mentioned the safety was Kayleigh Mcenany.

Plus you can shoot a single action gun without touching the trigger is you pull the trigger back enough to hit the shell hard enough to discharge the bullet prior to getting it back far enough to catch.

That's true Bert and exactly what I thought yesterday, but I just picked up a revolver and pulled the hammer back and it clicked after about .25". There were 2 more clicks before it was fully cocked. The only way you could do what they are saying happened would be if you had the trigger pulled before you cocked it and let the hammer fall.

Someone probably slipped that bullet into the gun and my bet is still on the crew that had walked off the set earlier that day.

I don't give 2 shits about "hollywood rules", the person who is going to pull the trigger, or just wield a gun, has the ultimate responsibility to make sure it is safe to do so. Doesn't matter if they are an "actor".

Sir, During my Junior and Senior year in high school (77, 78, 79 range) my Welding shop teacher must have taken a liking to me. (David M. Falik). He gave me a phone number and told me to call it. I stated, yes Sir. (He knew I was moving out on my own.) In any event when I called the man told me to come see him that day. (Keep in mind, minimum wage back then was 2 something an hour at tops.) He started me off welding on box cars at $11.42 and hour. I was swimming. I worked for less than that a year or so after I got out of the Army at some odd jobs. I am thankful. I have always worked since I was 15 in a real on the clock job and before that when my Dad had his siding company. what I am most thankful for is my babies and My Darling have always eat my food...(They still do sometimes, but to be fair sometimes they pay now too.)

Why would a man or woman go into $100's of thousands in debt majoring in gender studies when a real job pays good money?

Before I was a Babdist or studied zoology I was raised an entrepreneural River Rat, worms $6.75/qt., nightcrawlers a penny ea. Minimum wage 1.35 and nothing was free. Shad gut $5.00/gal. Dad , an apprentice elecrician made 2.25/hr. I'm not even going to mention Catalpa worms @ 3 doz/$. and I learned money grew on trees then turned 16 old enough to drive with gas 22¢/gal.

I was truly broken hearted when I asked a student intern to hand me a small Phillips and he pulled out a cell phone.

Hey @Bert Higginbotha look what I found! I can hardly believe this is on CNN. He proves that Alec Balwin is full of shit about not pulling the trigger.

Hello to you all and an early morning. My mind has been racing but I am going to sleep now.

I hired a man over a year ago. A top notch type of fellow. (I am real good at detailing a resume.)(Won't go into that story now.) He was a remote hire. He lived in Oklahoma (Fort Sill as I remember.) but the job was in Colorado where he wanted to live at the time. He is a counterpart grade-wise.) To shorten the story, he got a new job here where I live at a higher grade. Eventually he may assist getting me a job but that's a maybe and not relevant now.

Anyway, I found him and his wife a home here about a half mile from my house. We met personally for the first time today!

We had a real good day. He, his wife, me and my Darling went to dinner (lunch) together and spent about five total hours together. He and I hit it off well personally finally but my Darling and his wife hit it off too.

For today, (Friday) I am truly thankful.


I know already I will be thankful tomorrow from the day I just had. It will last.

You all have a super day too!!!

Did the cell phone have a screwdriver app on it?

We are truly raising a generation of morons. I doubt most know how to carry in a bucket of coal and bank a fire. I know there are a lot of things we had to do as kids they don't need to know about but basic things like knowing what tools are used for this and that and other simple things are way over their head.

A couple of weeks ago I came home and my wife had the washing machine taken apart and it was scattered all over the utility room floor. I asked her "what the heck" and she said it wouldn't work and some red light came on with an error code. She got out the users manual, identified the problem and got out her Phillips screw driver and went to work.

An hour later she had it all back together and working perfectly. I gave her a big hug and told her I was impressed and proud of her. She said did you know a service call is $100. I want my $100. We laughed and I told her to bill me. She came from a large blue collar family that knew how to get the job done. Priceless

I have heard similar conversations and just the other day an older woman working behind the food counter at Walmart was a bit short with me as I ordered chicken strips and potato wedges. Having already waited a bit with people ahead of me and seeing she was doing it alone (even though a very attractive younger lady was behind the counter as well) I said that it looks a bit busy. She replied that it was that way every day and that the help was not very helpful. She also said they were short of personnel and that others were out and no longer working. Realizing I was acknowledging her position she softened and said that the younger ones were lazy and did not really want to be there or work. I told her I understand and see that just about everywhere these days.

Back when I was working at FT. Sill I overheard conversations between soldiers who were being put out of the military from BCT (Basic Combat Training) or AIT (Advanced Individual Training) because they did not want to be there anymore. One in particular was a young girl whose brother had died prior to her coming in and with the training being so hard for her along with that, she was diagnosed with PTSD at 70% and would now paid a little over $1600.00 dollars a month for the rest of her life. After a few weeks of basic she was now making more than many many people who had served and retired and were receiving less in take home than she was because hers was tax free. It was shameful as she laughed about it and was proud of her achievement. I have heard similar stories as well because many are told of this prior to coming in or getting out. That is to go and get evaluated trying to get disabilities and doctors these days are very lax in what they diagnose.

One thing I learned about shooting long ago is to not keep your sight picture very long and trust your body's ability to naturally focus in on your target. I applied that to throwing as well when playing baseball/softball. Whenever I would field a ground hit ball I would immediately turn and throw to whatever base it was supposed to go and rarely missed the mark. I have seen to many players double pump before the throw and then have to put more on it to beat the runner. Many times the throw would either be too late or off the mark. The same with shooting. With multiple targets coming up many would take too long trying to make sure they hit the first target and many times miss it and not have time to get the next one.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F and cloudy with 88% humidity. Today's high should to pot around 76°F. We'll take it.

Watched WKU vs UTSA for C-USA championship game last night. Hilltoppers could not quite pull off the upset.

Count me three on watching conference championship games today. Pulling for Baylor, UGA and no care between Iowa and Michigan. Really like OkSt and Mike Gundy. If Cowboys win over Baylor, no biggie.

Gotta work a little around the house after a walk. May grab BBQ for lunch.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members,

Yes sir, this is football wall to wall for me. The outcomes may determine our opponent in the bowl game we have coming up. I am anxious to see Iowa play for the first time.

Meanwhile Stoops and his staff are out beating down the bushes in an attempt to get some final commitments. Some outstanding talent is out there and maybe he can persuade them to head north to Kaintuck to play for the Cats. Or if they are up yonder, head South. Get it done Coach

I talked to a friend who is a big Iowa fan, he says it is possible to see Iowa and Kentucky in the Citrus bowl.

He wants Iowa to beat Michigan but he is a realist. I hope Iowa pulls it off. I don't like Michigan.

Good morning D, read John 5

We had a good visit with our son and D-I-L yesterday, my son and I talked about a lot of thins yesterday, one thing especially was, he wished his grandmother was here so he could talked to her about how he was going to get through what has happened and how she dealt with losing a child, my brother, but on the other hand he said he was glad she isn't because he wouldn't want her to go through this!!!! Our D-I-L opened up quite a bit yesterday to Mrs. M in a lot of detail on what happened. I saw the picture of the dog, I found out that JP's dog went into his room and stayed with JP until they removed his body, heartbreaking!!!! I am trying to stay busy, I have 20 more ornaments to make, but my worse time is when I am here by myself, it feels like a big part of me is missing and it is!!!! I know GOD, my friends and my family is going to help us get through this and it's going to take time!!!

Good morning football fans. Back from a long hike and looking forward to the early games. Then we're doing a "Christmas" event - Handel's Messiah at the National Cathedral in DC.

It's a beautiful setting, and the music is certainly very inspiring and harmonious with Christmas. But it does go on for quite some time, as I recall from the last time I sat through it. As I remember, when it ended, I was the one saying "Hallelujah!"

Pulling for whichever teams it takes to freeze Notre Dame out of the playoffs. No way they should be rewarded for what turned out to be a joke of a schedule, whether by design or just the way it worked out (a bit of both - the played their share of cupcakes, then Big Team teams but not Ohio State or Michigan or even MSU, and ACC teams, but not Clemson. It's a pretty safe bet if you avoid all those programs you have a good shot at running the table.)

I guess OK State, Alabama, Michigan and Cincinnati wins would work for me, then let the Committee sweat it out over whether to give the last slot (after Bama, Georgia, Michigan) to Ok State or Cincy.

Just seeing this. Thanks for sharing Bertfan.

Yeah, everyone raised with guns knew instantly Baldwin is a lying POS.

He likely had the trigger depressed, pulled the hammer back and released it. Maybe he's such a dumb ass he didn't know that would fire the weapon -- but he certainly did after the fact. And denying that he pulled the trigger under those circumstances is just a lie.

It is never easy Cord. Life has heartaches and so many things we do not understand. Our human mind can not comprehend why we would lose a child. No parent should have to bury their child. But the Comforter was placed on this earth to get us through times like these. Some day, and each day it gets closer, we will have the answers but that is for God to reveal. It does take time and is a wound that time will not erase on this earth.
