TSCLT 7.0: Hemis, Harleys, Hooters-n-Harridans

[Kantarii]

Yeah, I need to go shooting.


I need to go riding, too, and I don't have to do much of anything to do that.

Sounds like you have a to do list

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Sounds like you have a to do list

It's not complex.


I get to do complex multi-item lists at work and then nag people to do the work.


I don't have to nag me to go riding.

 

[bellisarius]

Yeah, you do need to go shooting Wat. You need to get a range kit together for your scooter. Somebody out there has to make something that's cool AND functional.

The bold cat is outside scouting while the cautious cat is bitching at me cause his food bowl is only 15/16 ths full.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'm not clear on how to carry a rifle on the bike without attracting every cop in three counties and the state morons, too.


Yet . . . .

 

[bellisarius]

There is that "attraction" factor to deal with. Damn wimped out society. Probably only a handful of states or so that you could drive around in a pick-up with a rifle rack without everyone you pass calling 911.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

This one certainly would.


Too many soft pasty pussies with nary a well-formed and properly descended testicle among them.


I mean, it's not like my M1A is an AK or anything . . . .

 

[SpeareChucker]

I like my sweet potatoes skinned, sliced into long wedges, coated with oil and seasoning salt and baked until crispy
Cilantro depends on what it's added to, I don't taste it as soapy
And Keto is a fail for me, humans are omnivores and I enjoy that diet

So my story of the week (doesn't affect my house, just phone lines, drive route and popcorn supply in the house). At a nearby intersection used to live an old man in a house with an ancient tree. About 5 years ago the old man left and his greedy family fought over the house forcing it to court and all the legal blah blah blahs. So this valuable house sat empty with no one paying taxes on it or doing maintenance. The city cut the grass and added it to the tax bill, at 3 years the city is also listed with all the others trying to get money out of the estate. It's now been 5 years total, it's still in court, the old tree kept dropping branches on the lines and knocking out power and telephone so the city decides to take it out and just add to the tax bill. They send in a team of summer workers with step by step instructions from an educated office worker. They removed the fence, cut off all the branches leaving a 10 foot stump and then stopped. I thought they were done but the summer kid crew was calling the office and apparently, they refused to remove the stump. Next day other workers show up chain the stump up to a big dozer/digger thing and pull, not considering the root system that tree would have had in it's prime. Long story longer, the valuable house is no longer valuable, road, water lines, and poles are all being replaced at the intersection and apparently, the city's insurance will have to pay for all the damages since it's still in court and their by-laws only allowed them to remove the dangerous branches and not bilk homeowners for unnecessary work like removing a stump that's not dangerous to anyone. I suspect the city and bank are going to win the court case after this mess up and I hope the right persons in an offices somewhere get fired. Also, I applaud the kid crew who knew better than to screw with the old tree stump, they understood that things don't get old without being strong.

They should have used one of those stump chippers...

 

[bellisarius]

With the exception of a couple of cities you'd be OK out here. Even in the towns the concern would be more about thieves than the cops.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Your AR should break down quickly and nicely...

 

[Kantarii]

Your AR should break down quickly and nicely...

Yup. We had to do it blindfolded in the Army.

 

[bellisarius]

Actually the M1A will two piece easily as well.

 

[SpeareChucker]

See?



Wat has bike options.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

M1A pieces are kinda long.


I reckon I could bedroll the things.


The rest of the shit goes easily into the saddle bags.


They make the bike's ass look fast . . . .

Mount your rifles vertically, stick gay pride flags in the barrels and
head on down the highway. Cops probably won't fuck with you...







... the guys on the gun range might give you a bit of a hard time though.

No unless you tell them you brought it along for target practice.

 

[bellisarius]

*chuckle*

 

[SpeareChucker]

Our range won't let you shoot at anything other than a generic target.



Allah forbid that you might trigger some idiot...

In that case, you might need to bring a can of spray paint along. You know, to put paint a generic bullseye on it.

We have a bunch of steels at our range at the 50 yd. pistol bay and on several of the rifle ranges. The steels are painted either black or white. I pointed out that that was less than "all inclusive" so I bought a bunch of brown paint.

 

[SpeareChucker]

*chuckle*

 

[Wat_Tyler]

We may have over-thought the whole thingie. No matter.


The only thing that really can get "triggered" is a firearm.


And I'm not so sure that triggers like being called triggers. I suspect that they'd prefer to be called treegroes.


Off to see the morning folks and to drink a cup of their coffee, and perhaps to graze on their cookies.

 

[SpeareChucker]

I'm thinking about some oatmeal...

~~~ or ~~~


maybe running out for some donuts.

I had a ham & cheese croissant.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Croissants are just too pretentious for my tastes...

 

[bellisarius]

Hmmm, and I'll be driving by a Jack in the Box in my travels. I actually like their breakfast croissants.
