This is the Queen Kasey in action. The other day when I was getting ready to go have coffee with Joe45 She saw me getting ready to go and I had not invited her to go along yet so she takes up residence between front and rear tire to block me from leaving till she got invited by opening up her door and getting her step out so she could get in. She use to be able to jump up in Jeep till she got so fat. [URL=http://s218.photobucket.com/user/softbaitmaker/media/Kasey%20and%20Girl%20Dog/KaseyandGirlDog011_zps33ef6d7c.jpg.html][/URL]

This is the dog I wrote about that lived to age 22. The pictures are not to good but have better ones coming soon as son in law get these photos and scans them for me and emails them to me. She was about 20 when these were taken. If you see a resemblance to Kasey your right and that is why Kasey is so special to me. Her white face and chest use to be as brown as the rest of her but age turned her face and chest gray and white.

Well, I had that same concern so I ask a buddy of mine that is a fireman what he thought I should do. He said as long as the safe can with stand heat to 1200 degrees for 20 minutes I should be fine unless I have any extremely flammable accelerates in the house that could catch fire and increase heat levels most houses that burn seldom get above 1200 degrees and by then most fire departments are on the scene and cooling the flames down with water so he said just check the heat levels on what ever safe you choose to purchase. Right now I have two safes full that I purchased at Lowes but they are just home safes and not Firearms safes but both of them are designed to withstand heat to 1600 degrees so that is 400 degrees hotter than he said but I want to be able to keep most of my firearms and ammo together except for what I carry or use for house protection. Right now I have guns (plural) guns in every room of my house. Would like it to be just gun (singular) in every room and the rest in a safe with the ammo...................Are there any Safe Guys here on the site. I know we have a few advertisers here for them but I mean just a guy I might converse with?     Just wondering............Thanks   

Well, I do my best to keep my life simple so only Comcast service I have was was the package just above the lowest for TV. Had it for about 14 years now and about three month ago I went in to pay my bill and I asked them if they had any plans on expanding the package I am presently using. She looked at my package and she said your in luck. We just did that this month and she handed me a pamphlet and I had about 80 or 90 new channels added to my original package. She also said and your service costs are dropping from $82.95 to $59.95 for one year. I asked her what the cost would be after the year and she couldn't tell me so I told her that if my bill went above what i was previously or if they take away any of the new service I am now getting I will pull the plug on Comcast and go back to an antenna since I have learn from a lot of my friends that I can get about 40 channels using regular antenna. I'm sure she made notes on my file to what i told her because as I was talking she was typing on my file she had open so I planted the seed. I use my Cell Phone Service for my Cel service and my internet service with a broadband program. I do use Netflix but just have DVD's mailed to the house on movies I want to watch but would not have that if I would have known what Comcast was going to give me because just about all the movies I want to watch on Netflix are showing now on one of the encore channels about every other night so thinking about cancelling Netflix until Comcast does something stupid..........jmho

Is that who that is................ :stunned: I thought it might be another one them folks that would look like our President if he had a son....... :shrug: :shrug:

Ok I think I have reached a point that I need some help finding probably what I want that does not exist. I only have 1 long gun which is all I need since I no longer hunt but could haunt with this particular gun to survive. I do have a variety of hand guns and a rather comfortable amount of ammo. I have been looking at gun safes till I am cross eyed and have not found a safe suitable for my needs to time to ask. Does any company that any one knows of make an upright safe that has space for maybe a couple long guns but has a ton of shelves in it. I want a safe that I can put my hand guns in and my ammo assortment in and my long gun in. The two important items are (UPRIGHT and Shelves) if anyone can point me in a  direction to which I might look it would be greatly appreciated. Oh yea cost would also be an issue. Don't want to spend a fortune but willing to spend fair amount to get what I want..........Thanks for reading and replying if you think you have a place I can look......... :up:

Is there a place that would let us met there is the question. I mean a place that does not have Gun Buster sign on the front door? I'm up for a meet if it is in the Nashville area Preferably east side Hermitage, Donelson, Mt Juliet, Goodlettsville etc etc.

WHAT!!!!!! You have a grown up hat?????? Unbelievable. I have wanted one for years but Walmart store never has them when I in there moving the Gun buster to signs to the Meat Department in the Steak Section............ :shrug: :shrug: 

Does this or anything else these leftist liberals idiots do surprise anyone any more? They have reached a point of desperation now that they feel they need to use banks to do their dirty work for them.  They don't have the kahunas to do it themselves. Wait let me rephrase that. They are not smart enough to do it themselves so want someone that is smarter to do it for them. Nothing surprises me about these low life scumbags amazes me any more. Make sure all of you remember this when you make your trips into the polling booth come November and make sure you support anyone the NRA is backing. Would be a good place to begin looking to see what the NRA plans are. Make sure you read every email sent to you NRA members and make sure you tell all your friends and family to learn as much as they can about who the NRA is backing. That is where I will be throwing all of my support..............jmho 

I think I would give that a second thought!! from what i have read you have two things that may happen well actually 3. (1) The gun may shoot and may not. (2) the gun may blow up and (3) you might have gun blow up and still get snake bit...... :rofl: :rofl:

Isn't that the same type gun that was used to kill Robert Kennedy also. he was shot with a 22 caliber Saturday Night Special too I think????? :shrug: :shrug:   ok I went and looked and here is what they said Sirhan used.   The Gun That Killed RFK:  .22 caliber Iver-Johnson Cadet revolver

Great looking dog for sure. My neighbor has one almost a year old and I laugh till my guts hurt when she tries to take her dog for a walk and it is more of a drag me around the yard as fast as possible and there are times i feel sorry for the girl. The dog is actually her boyfriends dog and he's a truck driver and gone a couple days at a time and she knows the dog needs to go out and get exercise. I have an 80 foot cable run I use to put Kasey on back years ago before she got old and fat. It has a 25 foot off the roller cable and I told her to put her dog on it so a few times she has done that and gives her a rest from being dragged around like a rag doll.......... :rofl: i'm guessing her dog weighs about 65 lbs and pulls like a mule and the girl might weigh 110.......... :up:

i have preached it for 18 years while I fish tournaments that Life jackets and kill switches save lives please wear them. My boat motor won't start unless I have my vest on because my kill switch tab is attached to my vest and I put my vest on and then plug up the kill switch slide so motor will start. Heard to many horror stories of folks not wearing them for me not to put mine on. If I have a passenger the must have one on also. I have extras in my boat for them. The old adage IT WON"T OR CAN"T HAPPEN TO ME don't hunt folks. It can happen to anyone................jmho 

Well had a meet and greet with joe45 today and had coffee and then we went up to NRANGE for a look around. Went to basement and looked over the range. Pretty nice set up. Divided into two sections. joe45 found a few things he needed to buy so guess all in all pretty good day. Enjoyed meeting him. Great guy for sure. If you ever get a chance have some coffee with him and you won't be disappointed............ :up:

Some one mentioned that GOD and Dog are spelled the same, just backwards. Is that just coincidence or His plan? I think he created dogs for special purposes but that is........... jmho   If folks stop and think about all of the great services dogs offer humanity it is astounding. they help find people buried alive, they help the blind function, they track down lost children, they work with police officers and become a team and the dogs are considered an officer of the law and many have laid down their lives for their partners, They are working in the l military to sniff out IED's and are a very important part of our Military. They are now finding out that they are helping cancer patients both adults and kids but most of all they are mans best friend. I love Mutts for sure........ :up:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:   

Dogs can be very loyal friends and many times if you get separated somehow your paths cross and your back together again. I do think GOD has a lot to do with things like that because he knows both of you need and love each other and should be together..............jmho

I think it is because they charge a fee to  put tires in the city dumps and even tire stores charge to dispose of them. I have a few buddy's that have big sink holes on the farms in Wilson county and they tell their friends to bring their old tires and dump them in the sink holes in an attempt to fill them back in and then he will cover them with dirt. The state will take them over at the old prison on Centennial Boulevard as they have huge grinders there now that grind the old tires into dust and the mix it in with asphalt to put on the highways.

I use to love making a garden every year but health prevents that now but back when I grew mine I always had far more than I would use and gave a lot of my friends veggies. Since i can not have a garden all of my friends make up for my short comings with planting gardens and keeping me in veggies. I do grown some Cherry tomatoes and have a vine of Cucumbers on some lattes on the end of my patio and very low maintenance plants and we all kinda swap things around.  I was not aware of the potato idea either and it may be to late to try that this year but will get together with couple buddies next year and use my old garden spot to grow a few stacks of them. Your going to ave to send me the plans on how to do it correctly JPS so I can tell my buddies about it........... :up:  :up:  :up:  

Well, it's not really an issue with me. I don't mind it. They are just doing what nature tells them to do and I will help them when these hatch with meal worms and crickets until the babies leave again.......... :up: :up:

I said I grew up with guns and I did from age 6 but I was about 6 when I got my first dog named Pal to. I also grew up with dogs. I guess between me and my 3 older brothers and parents we had at least 5 or 6 dogs all the time as kids. We lived on a country road about 40 miles west of Chicago and it was a famous drop sight for people in Chicago that didn't want dog any more so they would drive in the country and drop them. My dad worked in Chicago about three blocks from the Cook County Animal Shelter so it was easy enough for him to take the dogs in when they showed up at our house if we didn't keep them. He made sure he got them gone before us boys got attached to  the mutt or he knew there would be trouble taking it away. I do remember a few times we may have had as many as 12 dogs including our own plus visitors Dad take to work on Monday. It seemed that Friday night was drop night and because we had dogs barking almost all the time the drops found our house pretty quick. I would have kept everyone of them if Dad would have let but I had a two limit when I was young but as I got older and became a wager earner meaning cutting grass or helping an old farmer work his farm down the road a short bike trip away then I was pretty much able to have as many as I wanted but I stayed with 2 most of the time Pal and Bearcat I had for quite some time and then someone stole Pal because he was purebred Springer Spaniel and was great at hunting Pheasants and Quail my buddy Dave and I hunted and He was gone on day about 5 years after I got him but there was something different about Pal when he showed up at our house and that is he was wearing a collar and none of the others were. My dad promised me he didn't take him to the shelter but he did say, you know son when he came here he was wearing a collar and there was a lot of people that hunted around our place because most most of it was farm land and maybe his original owner lost him while hunting and found him on another trip. At the time it made since but today nah!! not 5 years later. My Dad always had a way of explaining things that made sense. Since I had began hunting seriously I got two dogs given to me by my mothers boss where she worked as a cook in his restaurant. He gave me two young Tri-colored Beagles which Hunting came like a second nature to and that was when I name one of them John Henry because of the song about how hard John Henry worked and my John worked just as hard tracking rabbits. When we moved to Tennessee when my Grandfather gave my mother the Ranch/farm if she and her family would move south well here I am still!!! Came here at age 17 senior in high school. Brought Jack and John and oh yea old Bearcat was still tagging along. Don't exactly know what kind of dog he was. He was about the size of a Jack Russell and had a bobbed tail and his ears stood up like a Dobermans but had hair that felt like course bear hair but was as fast as any cat and could jump straight up into an adult arms so i just named him Bearcat. When I left for the military my parents took care of my dogs but both of them passed away while I was on tour of old age. My tour of duty was the first time I could remember not having a dog and I fixed that soon as I returned home............. :up:  :up:  :up:    

Didn't mean to make no one cry. Just all talking about dogs and it brought back old memories of a wonderful dog that played a very important roll and touched many lives and never wanted anything but love in return and she got that....... :up:

II just went through the scrap book of pictures and found as couple of Girl Dog at age about 18 and she is almost all white and gray in the face and chest from age. Kasey is getting gray now also.......Like me........Old and gray........... :rock:

The way I look at it if your pet is not spoiled your not doing something right and it is not the pets fault..................jmho

I'm gonna ask ya'll to bare with me a little here but I want to talk about another dog. My oldest sons dog. Many folks here know I lost my oldest son to an auto accident. He had the accident in May of 86 and it finally took his life in 90. When Doug Jr. was 6 years old I was sitting out on the front porch when I saw him walking down the road we lived on. He had a rope stretched out behind him and on the other end of the rope was this puppy that looked very much like the Queen in my avatar but it was just a puppy, a very skinny puppy. The puppy's feet were stretched out in front of her pushing backwards as hard as she could. He and the puppy arrived at the porch and my son said " hey dad, look what followed me home, can I keep it"?  I said"followed you home huh" and he said "yep". i thought about it for a minute and figure he  and his 5 year old brother should have a dog so I said yea but you will be responsible for all of it's care and he promised he would. About a day or so later we took her to the vet and got her checked out and all her first shots and de-wormed and all the things you do with puppy's and I was very proud of my son because he did everything right for all the years while he was able to. He trained her to do tricks he taught he how to mind and they became inseparable She went to school with them when they rode bicycles and wanted for them to come home and followed them home. He would take lunch out to her and put water out by the bikes for her (weather permitting) In bad weather she remained at home in his bedroom and he would leave the radio playing on low volume for her. Then as he grew older and got his drivers license and interested in girls like most teenagers do I watched and he never disappointed me. She went in his car everywhere he went just as Kasey does in my jeep. She even went on dates when he would take a girl out to a movie or a dance. ( Oh I have gotten ahead of my self a little)  When I asked him what he named her and he said "Dog" And I said that's not really a fitting name for a pretty little girl dog so he said "ok" Her name is Girl Dog and that became her name.     Now she went for all of her vet visits and shots and to get spayed when the time came and there was good Vet files kept on her. She was 10 years old the night of his accident and she was also injured in the accident which happened about 3 miles from our home. Hi back hips were broke and Doug was unconscious when emergency help arrived and when the ambulance rolled every kid with a  car rolled two and all the kids that went to the wreck knew it was Doug and his car and they all knew his dog. When the EMT went inside the car to help Doug Girl Dog had crawled and dragged herself up on his lap and growled at the EMT and was protecting him. One of the kids said "I will get her" and soon as Greg called her by name he was able to gently lift her of Doug. The police officer told him to put here on the side of the road and he would put her down and Greg said  I'll take care of her and they took her to the Vet that had been caring for her the entire time we had her. She was at the Vets office for 6.5 months and after she was healed and was out of surgery and traction for hip repairs he kept her at his office and fed her. I didn't go and get her till 6 months after the accident which small town everyone knew everything. I told the Vet I had come to get Girl Dog and I told him, "I don't know how much I owe you but what ever it is I promise to pay you." He looked at me and said "You don't owe me anything Doug."Just take care of her and your son." I did to the best of my ability do both. When we were finally able to bring my son home Girl Dog was all excited because she knew he had come home. He couldn't speak but he could pet her and hug her and remember her. She slept under his bed every night until that last night and at 3;15AM she came into the bedroom with Margie and I and laid down beside my bed and I knew my Son was gone. I went into his room and Girl Dog was right. Doug had passed away in his sleep. Now if your keeping track Doug passed away at age 20 and that made Girl Dog 14. She became my dog and as the vet told me to take care of Doug and Girl Dog I did. Doug was gone but I still had her. I fed her just like he did, from the table every night what ever we had for supper was what her plate had on it all the time they were growing up together. She loved Catfish and home fries with a passion...lol. In 1997 I lost Margie to a heart attack. In 1998 I had to have Girl Dog put down because she had developed Uterus Cancer and had a Tumor forming causing her pain. I took her to the vet and got the diagnosis and asked him to put her down because I would not allow her to suffer. He had the nurse pull Girl Dogs file and he opened it up and began to make notes when it dawned on him. He began scratching his head and he turned and looked at me and said "Doug do you know how old Girl Dog is and I replied "yea  22." With that he put her to rest and I took her and buried her on top of my Son with my younger sons help. There's a lot more to this but I don't want to bore ya'll any more than I probably have already. The Vet did ask me several days later when I ran into him at a filling station. He wanted to ask me what kind of food we fed Girl Dog to enable her to have the longevity of life she lived. I smiled at him and said what is it you tell people to never feed their dogs and he said table food and I said except for the time she spent with you table food is all she has ever eaten. The next year he retired and we never spoke again. I cannot explain how she lived that long except by Love and care. I have nothing else I can think of. I hope Kasey is with me that long but what ever God has in store for her I will accept. I have a few friends that have said they feel that when one goes the other won't be far behind. Don't know if they will be right or not. I guess only time can tell that.  If any one feels this should be deleted do to length I will understand. Just wanted to tell ya'll about a very special mutt named Girl Dog. I have some pictures of he somewhere and I will try and dig them out and post them if I can make my old scanner work.

I'm trying for sure.......... :up: :rofl:
