Yeah... no need to get upset. At this point it's a game

I'm beginning to wonder if the guy actually didn't order them and only thinks he did. But his daughter is helping out there now, and I think she may be a bit more "on it" than his last front desk/helper was.

Is there anything else?

That's my every week. I miss a good salsa, but tomatoes really do a number on my GI. Green salsa and fruit (mango, etc.) salsa just don't float my boat.

I'm sketchy on eggs. My BIL gets a lot of eggs from me when I don't use enough of them before their due date.

The landlady installed 3 chickens - hens. I think that she thinks that she's up to 3 eggs per day. I think that she and the chickens are bonding. The girl Lab is a chicken killer, so they haven't met and have a couple of fences between them. I'm going to wind up building some mo' better coops and runs, I just know it. I know fuck-all about building a chicken coop, but I reckon I'll learn.

Wish I knew someone w/ laying hens. At most, I need about 2-3 eggs every several months unless I'm baking for someone else. Stores don't sell single eggs. So I buy a half dozen or dozen and end up giving most away.

I have a tasty recipe for Cheesy Chili Squares that calls for 2-3 eggs. Delivery system for mild chilis and cheese really. Delish!

It's hard to turn down the M8 on a power-to-throttle-twist basis. The big bike got the big engine upgrade. The little bike is still a work in progress, but if the dollars work out, it may get something very comparable.

Now that I seem to be baking a bit more and making these damned decadent omelettes frequently, I'm going through the best part of 18 per week. Damned things, I check them in the store but there's always a broken one before I'm done. So, 17 then . . . .

I am trying to go to sleep and my shingles are burning like an indian burn and itching from my belly button to the middle of my back and from under my boobs to my hips...it is like a blanket of misery... it is pissing me off.. and I got my fave kind of phone call from my mom... where she complains and I listen....FUCK

Yuck... shingles is the absolute worst! Had it once. Never want it again. Ever. Unless... getting it releases me from the God awful phone call from my mother. Then, maybe

I better find out who I pissed off and apologize

Yuck.

I don’t know why, but I thought you were over the shingles. Sorry to hear that… they are fucking awful and fucking fucking painful.

Almost as bad as mom calls??

I always look forward to your coffee memes, OM!! Like coffee, it’s part of the morning habit.

I had a StreetGlide for a a short time with an M8. Ran like a top. I put too little miles on it and it just sat in the garage. Sold it back to Boswells in Nashville

The USSR was like invading Outer Space for the Germans going in. Fuck the politics, I'm talking about just guys in the army, trying to do as they're told and not get blown up doing it. Everything the Germans had heard about the Soviet Workers' Paradise didn't compute based on what they experienced. It was a shitshow right outta the gate.


And the Mosin is a shitty rifle in every sense. Old design unmodified, ugly, clunky to operate, difficult to reload correctly, possible to jamb it up on a reload and render it useless . . . but it worked as a general rule. Very indicative of the old Soviet system, as is the AK that followed. The US military in that war was blessed with the best individual soldier arms available, bar none. They weren't perfect, but they were much better than the standard arms of the enemy, and generally were better than their experimental arms, too.

Ww2 really WAS the eastern front. 22-25 MILLION Russians died. In comparison the German lost abt 5 million. There was no quarter given or asked. From all accounts, it was pure horror. In comparison the US lost 400,000 lives in Europe and the pacific.

The mosin Nagant rifle, the sks and the al pattern rifles all fit the Russian mentality of trade lives for space. Once were cheap then for the Russians and they are now as you can see in the Ukraine war.

I like the crudeness of those firearms. They are not great… but good enough. They will continue to operate long after we’re all off the planet.

Honestly, there's a lot to be said for a hand crank . . . .


Off to take the bike to the shop.


Again . . . .

You said “hand crank.” Heh heh

I have a t-shirt from Boswell's.


The Road Glide has 10K miles on it, but I'm in between places for a while yet, and it's safe in the car barn with the big Packard. The softail has about 3200 miles on it and turned 4 yesterday. It goes around town and is really good at it. I kind of want to make it breathe a bit more fire, however. We'll see.

They can last 2 to 4 weeks..... I live my mom..... but the only time people call me is to complain. I am losing my patie ce with it

Anyone who thinks the US "won" the war in Europe is mistaken. We won the war to Keep the Russian on the east side of Berlin and away from the English Channel.


I read somewhere about the British having gotten a T34. They took it apart and marvelled at how crudely it was made, but they also acknowledged that everything in it that had to work, did. That's Russian "teck-know-logee".

The eastern front was brutal. 2 bloodthirsty giants fighting to the death.

Used to love running also…any day any kind of weather…

Then Uncle Sam made it a job…

View attachment 2362766

I’ve never looked at running quite the same…or enjoyed it at least! Not to mention the knees aren’t what they used to be…

Dude… in preparation for deployment to Iraq, we had to do PT in MOPP4. No shit.

I lost a lot of weight!!

MOPP is a military acronym for mission, oriented, protective posture. In short terms, it’s chemical and biological warfare protection, including charcoal lined trousers, and uppers, and a protective mask.

It was hot!!

We’re gonna have some people over again later today for swimming beer and conversation.

Had to read this twice.
Now I know how much I need that nap - "what's 'swimming beer'?"

I believe I missed a comma. Swimming (comma) beer….

Hello to be swimming a beer like the McKenzie brothers in strange brew… might not be such a bad thing…

Swimming in beer does sound like fun though!
