Yeah, Rome's burning and y'all are out fiddling.

Just kidding, I'm green with envy.

Some day I'm gonna.........

i'm holding you to it.

We just try harder down here, Dee.

In the third pic you will notice the three dutch ovens where Saws cooked his signature chicken breasts in spanish rice, a to-die-for pineapple unside down cake with Amaretto, and yummy biscuits.

Quit rubbin' it in, loddy!!!

LOL, I saw the dutch ovens and wuz wundering what goodies were being batched up!! I was sorta thinkin maybe chili...........but I didn't see any outhouses close by!

There's an open invitation for folks to get themselves to CenTex and have a blast with us.

i second that.

Nice pictures, y'all. Looks like a fun time. Lets do it one day.

Nope,Varmint wasn't there. He waited till I got back to the house,and then showed up chattering to be fed,so he got some of the leftovers.

Jim,it isn't a signature dish,lol-it's what was in the house when I got off work last night.

Thanks for the pics. Wish I were there.

That wasn't a rubber chicken you had for dinner was it ala GHWB?

I hate every one of you who was at that outing.

LOL

You look like you were having soooo much fun.

I AM JEALOUS!

Speaking of "jealous", I think there are certain people in cyberland who are nothing but jealous of your beauty, christine. I used to be pretty and know I was subjected to unwarranted stuff, too.

Hey, saw ... looks like you don't need any gear to work on those trees. (grin)

Glad you all had fun and thanks for sharing so that we could get some leftovers. We had fun looking at the pictures, too.

Nope-when I got off work yesterday,I lucked out and found some chicken in the freezer. It turned out OK,though-one of the really nice things about cooking in dutch ovens is that you have to work pretty hard to screw something up to the point that it's inedible.

The amaretto in the cake was an accident as well-there was a bottle with three inches of the stuff in it here,left over from an old girlfriend. Since she's long since gone,and since I don't like amaretto,it went into the goop that makes a pineapple upside-down cake.

The raccoons will love Chrissy-she helped splatter apples all over the landscape. They're probably gobbling the remains as we speak. And we did have a whole lot of fun. Fresh air and smokeless powder are good for the soul.

So what kinds of pieces were you shooten?
Looks like an AR but can't make out the rest.

It was a super afternoon spent with like-minded, freedom loving friends who know that the "militia" is you and me and that we must spend some time training with our weapons.

A side benefit is the chance to familarize ourselves with all sorts of weapons that others bring to the shoot - I can't even remember all the manufacturers and calibers represented there today, but they ranged from .22LR up to .308.

All of you would feel right at home.

It is now time for me to shut this bad boy down for the evening.

Cheers, everyone.

sweet dreams, loddy
I'm happy you had such a nice time
sawsalimb is a great host
Love, Palo

I'm ashamed to admit that I have almost nothing in the way of loaded ammunition here-been so busy the past few weeks that I haven't had time to put the pointy things into the shiny brass things(although I have a couple of hundred rounds of brass prepped for several different toys)

I had an old Winchester .22 that I stumbled across a few years ago and bought because it talked to me when I picked it up off the rack. I have yet to regret the purchase-it's a great rifle,and I had some ammunition for it,which is very important if you want to shoot ; )

Jim and Bret had two arsenals between them,and you'll have to ask them for the specifics-I was too busy shooting things to ask about details(!).

Night,Mr. Lod-I'll be in the land of nod very quick here as well. Schlaf gut.

Nope,Varmint wasn't there. He waited till I got back to the house,and then showed up chattering to be fed,so he got some of the leftovers.

I'm glad Varmint got chicken in Spanish rice, pineapple upside down cake laced with amaretto, and yummy biscuits

that raccoon knows how to eat!

I hate every one of you who was at that outing.
********

that made me laugh, 6.

speaking of laughs, there were a lot of them this weekend. all these guys are a riot and i was regaled (and at times appalled ;) with redneck neighborhood and farm stories from their pasts.

the Denver cops were taken by her beauty too
after they arrested her at gunpoint, they were very solicitous
they took off her handcuffs, asked if she was thirsty, and if it was too warm for her
no one noticed that her hubby was thirsty and hot :)

There's an open invitation for folks to get themselves to CenTex and have a blast with us.

hi iiatl
will you be bringing your gf Mme Blavatsky
I might go to the next shindig in Texas if it meant meeting her
I hope she likes chicken in spanish rice, amaretto pineapple upside down cake, and biscuits

is she vegetarian?
I heard Hindus are

LOL That made me laugh. I can just see those cops. Next to firemen and lawyers, nobody melts at the sight of a pretty girl faster than they do.

Course, I'll just bet christine didn't discourage them any. haaa haaa haaa

(My son just walked by and saw me smiling. He laughed. He likes to see his mama smile. I don't do much of it any more. That's why I love this forum so much. You guys are a riot!)

Did you ever eat a coon? We did, a couple of months ago. Makes great taco meat. Actually, can't tell the difference between it and beef. But I don't think I'll eat any more. For some reason, gives me the willies. That did it for me, even though I always said I'll try anything four times. LOL

I'd thought about trying it,until Varmint showed up. After raising him,I don't think I could bring myself to eat a raccoon.(Although he does have a tendency to be an incredible pest at times.)

LOL 6bg it is a long story why christine and her hubby were running away from the Denver cops to begin with
they were trying help Rick Stanley and his wife
Rick Stanley is activist in Patriot Community

their car was rear-ended twice
finally they emerged to drawn guns
christine and the others had to lie on the ground and be handcuffed
then they noticed her beauty ---
they bent over backwards to make her comfortable

they were not arrested neither
way to go Christine

Although he does have a tendency to be an incredible pest at times.

my Lulu (basset hound) is big pest
she jumps on my head when she wants me to wake up
and she whines in my ear
I still won't eat her :)

ohmygosh, i am cracking up. you are the best storyteller ever! will you write my biography?

Maybe that's why I had such an adversion to making such a meal. Two different relatives have had coons as pets, and I always thought they were so cute. But the one we ate was caught in a live trap - had been cleaning out the chicken house.

Did you know they actually raise St Bernards to eat in China? It gives me shudders to think my own St Bernard, "Baby Love", would be eaten!

I don't know much of anything about Patriot Groups. I just always thought it wise to stay clear of them - not necessarily for their patriot activities, but because I don't want any visits in the dead of the night by some damned jackboots! I'm glad you got away, christine.

...psssst...don't tell anyone, but you've just stumbled into a nest of Patriots here.

Good morning, everyone.

Cheers.

Although he does have a tendency to be an incredible pest at times.

I am curious
what pesty things does Varmint do?

Fresh air and smokeless powder are good for the soul.

High-velocity therapy.

Chris and Bill, Scott and I thank you for your incredible hospitality and having us come down to visit; we hope your reputations with your neighbors eventually recover.

Enjoyed shooting your SKS; it's your fault I'm going to have to blow $500 to get me one.

;-)

Scott and I had a ball. Scott is incredibly impressed with Bill's knowledge of the Fed, et c. He was a died in the wool Bushbot, but we've moved him to the "What the fuck?" stage of realization. There is hope.

saws, it was great to see you again. Thank you for inviting us to the ranch. The food was awesome. The shooting was awesome; we had a ball.

After the varmints got hold of all that apple sauce we made, and the sugar from the pepsi and root beer, they probably went out body slamming bobcats.

You need to patent that upside down cake recipe.

loddy, it was great meeting you and your wife. Thank you for letting us shoot up the grocery store with your weapons.

(All: Loddy don't miss with his Browning Buckmark.)

Boonie, it was a pleasure meeting you and your wife. It's always good to meet people of character who know it is time to BLOAT, cache, and take names.

Scott and I watched the 9/11 video with Chrissie. We're starting to see things a little more like you do.

All:

Friday night Bill and Chris hosted us all for dinner. The crowd consisted of Bill, Chris, Boonie Rat and his wife, lodwick and his wife, Scott (my redneck brother,) and I.

Chris made a killer Romaine salad, mostacciole with red sauce and meatballs with fresh garlic bread (awesome,) and finished it off with homemade chocolate pie with made from scratch whipped topping.

To get an Italian meal like that elsewhere, you would have to fly to Venice. It was excellent.

The company and conversation were dynamite, and we didn't bitch about the government much...(*cough* *cough*...bullshit)

Saturday night we watched Bill's videos of the UFC fighting championships (sorta' like rasslin' except their really allowed to hurt each other, and the blood ain't ketchup. The true Octagon.)

Sunday was shootin' day...awesome. Most fun I've had in quite a while. Killin' Granny Smith apples can be therapeutic.

We need to have a FU convention someday; it would be a blast.

(Gotta' go chop celery. Scott was choppin' celery and tried to add two of his fingers to the mix. I gotta' go chop while he repairs.)

Wonderful sit-rep - thanks for reviving the great memories of a remarkable weekend.

Good to see ya safely home.

Until the next adventure, cheers.

awwww..i love this and you.

(btw, i'm going to have to get me a mini 14 now too ;)

I'm gonna' have to nose around the 'hood and find out who has an SKS (AK-47), and is in debt to the crack dealers. Gonna' get me one cheap.

UA, Scott, Chrissi, Bill,Lod & Better Half,
Had a great time. Had to have a wheelbarrow to get me out of the car after Christine's dinner!! Sorry we missed the high velocity projectile throwing session Sunday, but got to hear Dessie and Rhett talk (She's awesome). Maybe next time we can bring some artillery to the mele!!!

CYA & Cya

Boonie Rat

MACV SOCOM, PhuBai/Hue '65-'66

It was great to finally meet you, and yours, after all these posts.

We should consider scheduling shoots on non-Dessie lecture weekends - or invite her out to the ranch, or both.

Cheers, BR.

He crawls on my lap when I'm at the comp,and trys to help me type. He also crawls on my lap when I'm trying to load ammunition,and investigates the top of the loading bench until I throw him outside into the pecan tree. He also crawls onto my lap and tries to investigate the airbrush when I'm painting,but when the compressor turns on automatically,he gets startled and runs off and hides behind the fridge. He's a pretty good alarm clock,though-he hops up onto the bed every morning and paws the back of my neck when the alarm goes off,and makes sure I wake up and feed him.

Get yourself a Mini-30 instead of a Mini-14. That way you'll only have one kind of ammunition to keep track of.(Unless you get to be like me,and Bret,and Loddy,and think 15 or 20 firearms in the house is a good start.)

Bret,great to see you again,and you're always welcome. Glad you enjoyed the weekend,and hope to do it again soonest.

LOL!

I love hearing bout Varmint
he's got so much personality

you are good writer saws
this is better than Walt Disney cartoon

GO Varmint!
best raccoon on web

um..does the varmint use a litter box? ;)

He gets tossed outside.(Whether he wants to go or not)

Brett, thank you for your kind words and expressions of friendship. You are welcome anytime, as are Ross and Scott. Enjoyed 'em all. Keep in close touch, friend.......Bill
