enfield

Dr. Dash in Madisonville is competent, but he hums while he works. Drove me crazy!

Sleet just started here.  

Still dry here north of Chattanooga.

Cold & dry here north of Chattanooga.

  "I" have a bush hog!     Reminds me of a supposedly true story I was told recently:   This fellow was telling tales on his grandson.  It seems that the grandson was a recent college grad and got his first job in an Alabama bank as a junior loan officer.  An old farmer came in an applied for a small loan.  Grandson asked the farmer about his collateral - did he have property he could pledge as security for the loan.  The farmer replied that he had a 12 year old bush hog.  Grandson busied himself getting out forms from various stack and started typing on his computer.  After a few minutes, he asked the farmer, "This bush hog you offer as collateral -- male or female?"

I'd love to be a successful morel and sang hunter.  But I ain't.

  Everyone can pack up and move!  It's still a CHOICE!  They're not victims!  More money is a choice, family is a choice, steady job is a choice!  I didn't stay in Michigan for the snow, I stayed for the money.   I didn't stay in WV for family, I left for money.  It was my choice, and I chose money.  It was the right choice for me - I wasn't a victim.     Now I'm in Tennessee, and I have less money,no family in the state, no job, and I love it!  Still don't feel like a victim.  I'm here as a result of my choices.

I've stopped buying rods and reels and started getting rid of them.  I gave 3 outfits to my son-in-law, along with a Rubbermaid tote full of lures.  I still have more rods and reels to get rid of, waiting for grandkids to start fishing.   Someone else will have to take over giving sore lips to bass.

I bought some Gravel Gear jeans at Northern Tool and like them better than Wranglers.  Better made, ya know.  Wrangler carpenter jeans are thin and fragile.  

  Amen, bro.  30 years in Michigan and 23 years in Northern WV.  I've had enough snow for a lifetime.  I've shoveled and blown that much snow many times.  Screw 'em!

Those people live in Boston by choice. We live in Tennessee by choice. They have snowblowers, we don't. I don't feel sorry for them

Hmmmm. No suggestions from me.

You're using a pressure canner, I hope?

Home-made beef stew!

Not without a spine transplant.   Unlikely, in other words.

Wow!   I'd buy some if I needed to shoot through refrigerators.   . . . . or a row of refrigerators.   Wouldn't that be hell in a carbine?

Want to take a crack at Maryville?  :D

Yeah, they've tweaked it again.  Glad I got here when they still honored a Michigan license.  I paid $50 and out the door I went.   Sounds like revenue enhancement.   Death and taxes . . . 

We like bolts and revolvers too. Welcome!

Knives are no longer regulated. Carry what you like.

Old jokes never die.

I wasn't there, so  I don't KNOW what happened.  Amazing to find so many eye witnesses on TGO.  Hope Judge Dredd ain't here.

That's one big chicken!

  I fail to see the difference.

Then who is banning guns in some public parks?
