San, I think your story above wins the Hobo Paragraph of the Year Award. Now I need to see a photo of the new kitchen.

Jon, I thought Amalie was great company, and was just teasing about him selling books. No one posts 300 times to sell three books. I've tried to email him directly with no response, so who knows what happened.

Pete, those are lovely photos. What incredible light this time of year in those hills. What's that jug on your stack? Us non-tractor nuts haven't a clue.

Tramp, the stack has a weighted-flap cover, intended to keep the rain out of your cylinders via the exhaust manifold, which tends to be detrimental to the longevity of one's engine, but as sometimes it rains g*ddang sideways around here, I don't trust it, so I slip the jug over the stack for my peace of mind.
I use a "Wege Pretzels" jug, out of Hanover Pa. 'Sourdough Hards' tends to work better than the low-fat regulars.

Absolutely right, Hev, about the target practice. Airborne has a birthday rolling around in November. His campaign for a 'real gun' began July 1st, but is now beginning to hit it's stride BIG-time, and is the last thing I hear before bed and the first thing in the morning. He has moved beyond stump-speeches to 'local saturation-advertising' and a lobbyist in the form of his neighbor-bud in the hollow, who already owns three 'real-guns', and who is younger than Aaron by 9 months. How's a poor kid to live with horror and humiliation like that? I am the principle target because it will be over his mother's cold dead body that he acquires one. But he has begun to understand that hunting (alongside his pop-pop) with a BB gun serves little purpose but to amuse the deer, and though we still find it incredibly cute, he's growing WAY too mature for "cute". Word.
Any of you guys want to throw in your opinions? Not that they will carry any weight with the redhead, but maybe I can overwhelm her with sheer numbers...

San, ROTFLMAO!! A true hobo classic.
I wondered why you were out of commission. I see you were dealing with a campaign of your own!
Jahan reminds me of the redhead. "Measurements? What for? It was the prettiest, and matches the wallpaper!"

Mitch, when you're in your loincloth/turban sitting in your lotus position with your arms outstretched chanting your mantra, pleeeeease let your wife take just one little picture to share with the rest of us.
Only because we want to learn how to do it too, ol' pal. Nothing more. Trust me.

Mike, very cool, but we need more pictures of that Wallis-Bear. Is that a steering-gear around those front wheels? And a circular radiator? That thing looks like it was put together by committees! :D Hev, tell me what's happening on that thing!

Jon.
You f*cker.
You got us all in an uproar.
And over a Hooters billboard.
Make it right, buddy! :lol:

This IS a great country!!

Imagine, if you will Chrismas., 1974.

A long box sitting under the tree, not too tal, or wide, but, long, almost 3.5 feet.

As our Hero rips off the wrapping paper, a familiar green package (familiar, simply because there were already several in the home) greeted his eyes. A Remington box.

Carefully, because he realized what was in the box, and he had been taught that this item needed to be treated with respect, and care, he opened the box, and read the instructions. For the first time in his life (and nearly the last) he read the instructions, before trying to open the action on the Remington 572 that his dad gave him for his 12th Christmas.

Even the belived Lionel 726rr stood silent for this Christmas morning.

I have been around firearms all my life, and when my tribe was old enough, I started teaching firearms safety to them.

Education, not stupitity ensures gun safety.

Here's my advice. Pick up a bolt action, single shot .22. Teach him basic rifle marksmanship, SAFETY, maintenence,SAFETY, ammo selection SAFETY, making sure of his backstop SAFETY, and you will have a SAFE shooter for life!

ANG, thanks! Would it change your mind to know he's turning 10? He's had a succession of BB/pellet guns for years, and has proven trustworthy with the safety-factor, but a 22 slug might hurt a bit more.

What he is asking for is a .30-30. :D :shock:


San, I'm STILL laughing, as I picture you at your desk at work, with a phone in your hand, mouth agape, dead-silence, trying to bend your head around the fact that you just heard issue from the earpiece "... a 42 inch well, the new unit is 48 inches ..." :lol: :lol:

If it still ain't funny yet, it will be!

Sawzall. A remarkable invention.

And "seismic restraints"?
I have a knockout of a niece who is in need of 'seismic restraints', but around here, she calls it a "bra". :lol:

Marlin makes a lever action .22 :D

I was shooting a .22 as early as 6 with Dad's watchful eyes on me at all times. The earlier the better, can't instill good shooting and safety habits too early!

The same comment goes for trains too, the earlier the better!
