I met (then) Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock III (the sniper's son) at the Quantico VA base during a civilian's rifle training weekend. My son, then 12, was participating. We talked about raising little boys and not a damned thing about his father or shooting or anything like that. He was a very human kind of guy and had a lovely albeit brief conversation.
That's awesome!
I've enjoyed watching a few interviews with Carlos....
 
I'm sure you're familiar with Carlos "White Feather" Hathcock too...
Yes! Read his book many moons ago.

Well, looks like we’re not going to get any of the flurries or ice. I was sort of hoping for at least a snowflake. Good thing in the big scheme of things, but still…

It’s cold and wet…they’re saying 31 officially but no ice…probably just on the bridges. Hunker down today, movie and football later. We’re all stocked up on the essentials so wont go hungry for sure.

Stay warm my friends!

In this village nack in the day there were handshake deals and no records of atuff that occurred... for instance this past year we did work on the sanitary sewer (i/i and gps mapping) and they made a map of them and where all the manhole covers are
We were surprised to see where there were....some of them were in interesting places


We got our fudge packed when it was determined that the plumber whose estate sold us the campground land had what the county considered to be an illegal drain field for the septic system. That was over $5000 to unfuck.


Ass-raping incompetent negligent local gummint!!!
 
Hope everyone in the storms path is doing well.

Wife and I both fell asleep watching the metv Saturday night sci-fi movie. Last night was the original King Kong vs Godzilla. So we’re watching it now.


There was sneaux. Now it's sleeting and 26/13. The power is still on. Was watching the UFC last night and went to bed partway through. I may tie into finishing it this morning.


I'd like to get all pugilistic over the weather sit-chee-ay-shun.
 
There was about 6” here. What ever is falling is so fine you can’t see it. MyRadar shows it as pink so ice or sleet at this point. I think I will just let it sit. The neighborhood association Gustapo is supposed to start plowing at 1”. Nothing yet. I feel some pity for those who don’t have their car in a garage.


As long as it doesn't descend into freezing rain, because that stuff is the work of dah Debbil.
 
We r a level 3 snow emergency

The medicare kady from aetna just showed up at my parents

She us committed... crazy but committed
I see people starting their cars and clearing off the snow. It is going to pour down rain later. That layer of ice is not something you can thaw easily. I hope they don't damage their cars trying to scrape it. The snow shovels look kind of useless at this point. A chisel or some kind of hoe or pick would be better.
Since it started to sleet my steps look like a hill now. Can't see the steps anymore.
