Yeah, shameless plug for him (his brother and my sister are married) but it's still exciting. And it kinda relates to guns bc he's a gun guy. Edited September 25, 2014 by JWC

If he joins ISIS, he probably won't be allowed back into the country.  Just an FYI.

 

 

 

 

Only kidding, that's really cool.  I'd be proud.

Good edit, that was my first thought when I first seen it.

Good for him, hopefully soon they can use US based rockets to get there and back.

[JWC]

No they allow them back they just "monitor" them. what ever the hell that means.


I kinda bet he wouldn't mind to be bombing the sh!t out of ISIS.


In spite of our screwy political relationship with Russia right now I skyped with my sister and them last night and they've had a great time. They toured the Kremlin and all that and have had an excellent experience the whole trip. Tomorrow is the big day though.

Well I had a Bean and Methane gas post in mind but instead I will say congratulations to having a sorta relative getting to go out there and gazed down on a world so beautiful from that far away and so ugly up close and personal in so many places.............jmho

Pretty fun. But he's kind of a cut up. I hit the brother-in-law jackpot. He is the best man I know. Easily. They're family are all 100% good people.

Barry is no different. A couple of weeks before my dad passed he took the time out of his schedule to fly from Houston to here just to visit with pop for like 2 hours. They weren't even technically related, it's his brother that is married into our family. But we've all known each other so long and have always spent a lot of holidays and things together so we are all pretty close. But I thought that was just a good thing he did and my dad really, really enjoyed it when he was extremely sick. Out of all the cool sh!t he's done in life I appreciate that the most.
