    While stationed at Treasure Island (San Fancisco) in 1971, we took a new guy who seemed OK to town to see Steve Miller on Friday night liberty. As usual there, a guy walked up behind us jingling change in his pocket. The FNG asked what was going on, and after we explained, he said "so you're...

    The governor of the state I live in has decreed that stores that he has graciously allowed to operate must deny entrance to anyone not wearing a mask. Because of ridiculously convoluted liquor laws, everyone has to show ID to buy beer or wine in a grocery store (but not in beer distributor or...

    We lost a good man today...

    I only know Veer from his posts here and a few exchanges about food and local restaurants. I live not too far from where he did but never met him. I never quite got the exchanges between him and PPB, but they were hilarious. I assume it was either an inside joke or something I just didn't get...

    He said he walked in and looked around for something his son could eat, and selected a container of yogurt and some milk. I don't know how long that took, but I know the guy is not the type to dick around. This is a convenience store, not a supermarket. He took it to the checkout, where he was...

    This is a swarm of honey bees. It is nothing to be afraid of. They're hanging out waiting for their scouts to find a new home. This is part of their natural cycle. They are loaded down with honey, nectar and pollen and are quite mellow in this mode unless you do something stupid. Leave them...

    Maggie’s Corned Beef- what is your cooking option?

    In the curing process, nitrates are first converted to nitrites by bacteria before curing begins. Potassium nitrate is the old school cure that my mom used. She would be over 100 today, so availibility was an influence. Sodium nitrite is called for in more modern recipes. I've used both and...

    Maggie’s Career coach

    I have a high end IT friend who was let go by a huge bank and was convinced that there was nothing for him outside his niche. He went to a "career coach" and paid a lot of money for nothing. He refused to take a chance outside his comfort zone, and now works as a package handler for a delivery...

    Maggie’s Corned Beef- what is your cooking option?

    First, I cure my own. it takes about 10 days, and I got mine in the brine on 3/6. I know it's too late for that now, but try it the next chance you get and you'll discover a much better corned beef. I split the brisket I started with into 2 pieces. Both went into the same brine. On 3/17, I'll...

    Funny Things You Say That Pisses Off Your Wife... Go!

    Doggystyle is our favorite. Once, "Shake that ass for big daddy" came out as "Shake that big ass for daddy". Activity ceased and discussion ensued. She has a big ass, knows she has a big ass, and knows I love it. I don't see the problem.

    In SC, I took my neighbor to the ER because he shot himself in the foot with a .22 rifle. He had gone out to shoot mistletoe from an oak tree with his dog, and the dog got tangled up in his feet.

    I vividly my first thought 15 seconds after getting off that bus was that I was going to do whatever they said, whenever they said and exactly how they said it would be done.

    Maggie’s OUCH- A man trying to holster his gun reportedly shot himself in the...............

    I saw a guy shoot himself in the leg while holstering a G19 at a USPSA club match after "load and make ready". We call it Glock leg. Now there is something we can call Glock Nut.

    Our county's 2A loving sheriff (known here as 'Sheriff Bunny") carries a pair of pink handcuffs given to her by Joe Arpaio. She is retiring effective next month, and from what I understand, is going to a major position in the Trump 2020 organization.
