Try one of the stores that specialize in selling uniforms to public safety people such and police and firefighters. When I retired from the fire department, I was allowed to keep my uniform belt. It's very sturdy and wide. I still have it and I've been wearing it nearly every day since I...
I had a water heater start leaking about a month ago. This guy was a school chum of my son-in-law. I called him and he came over that afternoon. He gave me options to go get a water heater or have him get it. I picked it up and brought it home. He put it in for a very reasonable price...
I haven't hunted rabbits in years, but when I did, I put the bead on his nose. I tried to get the shot off as quickly as I could. Once they get out beyond 30-40 yards, you're pretty much out of business.
I too have bought guns and holsters at Elmore's. In fact, I was steered there by my instructor because i'm left-handed and needed a holster. My instructor told me they had a good selection of left-handed holsters.
I've always been treated with respect and the guys in there are very helpful...
This is a sore spot between my daughter and myself. She told me a couple of years or so ago that she asked me to take her shooting when she was younger. According to her, I told her then, that she didn't need to go shooting. She also says I told her that she'd probably need a "pink shooting...
Relieved of the responsibility of going out and making a living for themselves; they come up out of the Mom's basement from time to time and inflict themselves on society. They're lucky we don't live in a police state.
Following their "protest", it's back to mommy's basement for a rollicking...
We did have a surplus in the last few years of the Clinton administration. One of the major reasons was the welfare reform those mean old Republicans forced on Clinton. It seems that when people who could, were told to get jobs ("Workfare") a lot of them decided they would rather go off...
I shudder to think about what's in the food we eat. I grow my own vegetables every year. I know for a fact that I've missed picking out some of the little green worns in kale. You see them in the cooked food from time to time. I just pick them out and eat it.
I guess the key here is to...
Here's another clip of the movie "The D.I.". It was made in 1957, but you can bet that R. Lee Ermey used it as his model for "Full Metal Jacket". It's really got some good lines in it.

And it would scare the heck out of me to go into a dark building where the door has been kicked in and I didn't know if anyone was still inside. I guess we each got the right application.
When I heard the interview, I wondered if the operator would be "disciplined" for doing it. Those folks are ruthless. By the way, how can a person be fired for telling the truth. In the old Soviet Union, those who strayed from the party line would either end up in a Gulag or be declared...
During my time on the job, I had several fires where the pet was lying right inside the front door. They went there because that's where they always go to get let out. I would just grab them by the legs and sling them out onto the porch and go on in and put the fire out. As far as going in...
My computer started acting weird a few days ago, but we had to leave home to go to my wife's 50th class reunion in Southern Indiana.
When I got home, I checked into it and thought it was probably a bad router. My computer was dropping off the internet and the lights on the router kept going...
