Greetings fellow patriots! Houston we have a problem! A big one. I'm located in South Louisina 337. On February 28 a white SUV pulled up to the house with red DHS lettering with Texas plates. (Texas WTH i thought y'all were with us) I saw them pull in the drive an met them outside at their truck 2 agents late 40s-50s. They say Hi we are here doing a survey. One agent pulls out 3 volumes (looked like phone books almost sizewise) He ruffles through the pages in first then second volume. He finds my list (The 1 that they don't have). he says so we are doing a survey and we are going around visiting everyone and trying to verify if you own or still have these firearms. He proceeds to show me my list. Every gun i bought from a dealer is on this list. Every one from 22s to Mosin Nagants and everything in between. I was blown away and still am. Many bricks have been shat since then! I told them nah i don't have any of those dangerous baby killers gave them all away after Newtown. They left but sat parked down the road for a couple hours. Probably coordinating drone strike. I have ony told a couple of close friends i trust. I've been tryng to keep it together. The first person i told also had a visit exactly 2 weeks before me. He ordered a questionable part off the net an that's what the agents told him they were after. He lives 5 minutes down the road. I was freaked then but I didn't think anything of it you know he brought it on himself. Until i got a visit. All my stuff is legal and above board. No worries on that part. But then why did i recieve a visit? I don't know i've been gripped with fear since. Keeping watch on my porch, almost sleeping outside some nights. And then yesterday my wife's friends parents who are an hour north of us got a visit. Only the mom was home and she told them to hit the street. These people are farmers and have guns but mostly Fudd guns and relics passed down. The father was going somewhere on business this weekend and next week. He cancelled. Even the Fudds aren't safe from this. My only solace in all of this is the 3 massive volumes the jackboots had. I know i'm not the only one. I don't know what to do?! It took this long for me to tell somebody else. My wife and i are scared [crap]less!I'm not sure if they are testing the waters seeing who will comply. Or if it's something else entirely. Why down here? Why not in Commiefornia or one of these other liberal dreamlands? I thougt we were good we just voted to strengthen the 2nd in our state. i just keep saying in my head. WTF?
Marbles work well too, but when you're a kid and you have to BUY them, you don't use them for ammo!
Fortunately, where I grew up we had a secondary source for when the Buckeyes weren't falling at our feet off the trees. The railroad cut through the west side of town and if you walked the roadbed (ok, I know, that's trespassing - but back then no one was thinking about blowing up a train so no one hassled us...) you could find all sorts of stuff that bounced out of the cars. If it bounced out of northbound cars it was usually coal heading to the Lake Erie docks. If it bounced out of southbound cars it was those beautiful round taconite pellets...
Thus Mother Nature and the Chesapeake & Ohio were our main suppliers of slingshot ammo!
Nickel Metal Hydride.
He was, as a kitten, a “rechargable cat”.
Let him sleep for five minutes and you were done.
We recently had to give our goodbyes to the old man.
There will never be another NiMH.
OR... being a Republican and getting elected to congress...
She hasn’t found anymore birds that told her they had excellent taste again?
About time you showed up...
Not since we stopped letting her out. ;-)
Kitty is looking beautiful.
Just one of many.
Not an Elm tree anywhere now.
Except as an item of furniture in an antique shop.
Fortress TOL is now ready for action!
A flag on each turret and a canon at every window!
Something always calls me to Real Life. Today I had to have Elen at the site for her driving practice at 6:00 a.m. It was 20 degrees F, but at least not snowing. The sun is coming up now. I need to leave to pick her up in half an hour. The 6:00 a.m. arrival is not problem, since I’m up anyway, but the 8:00 a.m. pickup requires a drive through heavy traffic.
You said "driving practice".
The driving instructor plans to avoid the traffic going up US74 into Charlotte, but I have no other way to get there.
And with that, I must get on all my warm clothes and depart.
You will not be alone in that.
Would that I could be a driving instructor when I am out among them. If they could hear my words, their ears would wilt.
I remember a story of a computer data center that successfully went to generator backup, only to have the generator fail within 10 minutes of the switchover. When power was restored the supreme potentate of the data center was furious. Hadn't the backup been tested? Absolutely it had been tested. They'd faithfully tested that generator every month for three years. Then how did it fail? It ran out of fuel. It seems that nobody bothered to check the level after each of those faithful tests, and the tests ran it down to where it only had ten minutes' worth of fuel left.
No, no, no...you don't BUY them...you WIN them from lesser players! It got so the boys wouldn't play marbles with me...they didn't want to lose any more. LOL!
This was back in the day when a Commodore 64 cost $10,000.
*choke* It would have been too bulky to take with us, anyway, and the WWW was only in its infancy.
