I can't remember.....
Sigh.
Note to self, doublecheck.
I'm still waitin' fer a salmon-hook-up muhself...
the snapper was caught by a friend of mine on a rod-n-reel off'n an oil rig in theGulf... t'was delicious...
never seen it before tuhday... and I've looked...
jest found out yesterday that a friend from here (Marine Capt MP at FLW, solid Christian, homeschool dad) has been pegged fer duty in Iraq... part of an 11 man team training Iraqi police forces... 4 are duty experts... the other 9 will be there tuh keep the 4 alive...
can we rally round these guys?...
a bigger heap of BS, I've never seen...
You haven't been around many bulls.
They can heap it up much faster than I can :~)
I feel so... inconsequential... God bless 'em...
I'd bet even money...
Can you tell me what they need/want, and how much time I've got to scrounge it up?
They're MPS, so I'm immediately inclined to dislike them ;0), but they're on our side...
They report to CLJNC in Sep, then head to IFJ in Jan for a year...
They'll be training Iraqi police in some of the hottest areas...
what they'll need, I cannot predict... and they'll ask for nothing...
I can see Hobbit Hole folding knives, maybe some Pelican flashlights, possibly dump pouches.
carabiners... hey, you got anymore Stasi Bashers?...
Plenty of carabiners, we buy them by the hundreds. I'll need some leadtime for the stasi bashers. Have they seen yours?
I can also throw in some restraint cutters, which weren't the hit I expected them to be.
I always get fahklempt when I watch that.
muh friend saw mine... he was... pleased tuh see the loving craftsmanship and bludgeoning potential...
the others will come from all over the Corps (Global Sourcing dontchuh know)...
restraint cutters sound good... I'll be keeping in touch with these guys, so hopefully as we go along, they'll let us know more of waht they need...
yup... we don't even know... we don't even have a clue...
Ruh-roh...Margaret got a puppy today - a German Shepherd / Border Collie mix.
She said she didn't expect to get much sleep tonight. I imagine the poor little thing'll be doing a lot of howling. The puppy, that is, not Margaret. ;-)
I'd kinda like to know what Cisco's life was before I got him, but I'm rather glad I missed the housebreaking and the worst of the chewing. He's only *kind of* a monster...
Sounds fun... In the way only monsters are... ;~)
Why do you think he'll howl?
Just bein' away from all her brothers and mom for the first time.
Though...likely she'll just end up on Margaret's bed, in which case she'll probably be fine.
I told them I expect pictures as soon as possible. ;-)
