    Maggie’s The Retired Guy Thread

    I’ve been retired 20 years. I just realized that. Retired at 55, did all the things I put off until then, and still having fun. See a lot of whomever is still alive, from VN, and doing some volunteer work. Joined the Ham club, locally, and found another thing to do at state and natl parks...

    Yellowjacket Infestation

    I’ve used the yellow jacket trap, that use a pheromone to lure them. Seriously attracts them and fills up in a few days. Used two to clear an area we use for elk camp. Effective as heck.

    Must be employed by a private firm contracting or vending to the government. Look for openings at the VA facility itself. Federal benes.

    Those Venezuelan gangs were on radar a year ago.

    Obama stated he wanted a “Civilian force” equivalent to the uniformed services. He created Homeland. Look at their weaponry and tactical set up. Secondly began the unlimited importation of foreign armed gangs. A huge army of unregulated and uncontrolled aggressors is spread across the country...

    Bear Pit Thread About Bears.

    I don’t have photos of this one, but here goes: In 1974, I was a GI Bill student in Redding CA, with a new wife, an outdoorsy type, who grew up in Westwood CA. One spring break we decided to go camping up at Castle Crags, State Park, to do a little fishing, and rock climbing. Imagine my...

    Bear Pit Thread About Bears.

    Young friend who was in Tiger Force (Afghanistan) is now a recruiter in Montana (asa former member I still support the active duty team). He went elk hunting, and split up with his friends, going down a trail, downhill. They had a thick patch of trees that split them, so he stayed on the trail...

    The time and opportunity was there all along. Close to the same amount of years in proximity, and opportunity. Cats are still eating humans in Africa and Asia. Cattle and horses are herbivores and only subservient, not truly our friends the way dogs are. And don’t doubt a cow will gore you or a...

    Cats working at that level with humans will always be a fantasy. See Andre Norton’s juvenile works. Dogs when they were wolves sought us out, not the other way around. Most of what you see in the way of their behavior, especially the near manic attention and autistic focus has been bred into...

    It was called Asthmadore. Straight cut leaf Belladonna. For some reason, in 1969, there was a can of it at Battalion Aid Station in the Engineer unit of the 82d. Issue item! I read the instructions: pour a teaspoon full in the lid and touch a match to it to start smouldering. Breathe in the...

    Idaho chem trails, WTF?

    Sigh. Ivermectin has had a long and safe history as a human medication, for decades prior to Covid. In fact, using Mg/Kg, which is the proper means of dosing, most meds used in humans can be bought over the counter at the feed store. Same drug. Period. Scoffing at Ivermectin as “Horse...

    I don’t, necessarily believe that, I was merely pointing out that he totally missed what the size of a battalion is, and he put too much faith in the NYPD police force being turned into a Infantry division. THEY COULDN’T WALK THAT FAR, and those inbred mountain boys will seriously deplete the...

    A battalion is between 3-7 companies. 3-4 in an Infantry battalion. That’s between 300-1200 troops. 12-15,000 NYPD are meter maids. Close to 20-30% are nearing retirement, and in rocking chair jobs. They can’t control what they are assigned now. Let them “walk two states over”, the attrition...
