Maggie’s What's Your View II

There will be a registration sticker and under it, an inspected sticker if they’ve been inspected this year. Most haven’t been don’t yet this year though. We have been for all but 2 of our rides. The lights is a pretty good indicator too. The whole shows lights, not just one ride though. Sometimes a ride just gives a guy fits with the lights.

If you get me the name of who is there I’m pretty sure I can tell you the general state of their equipment.

I like a flag that has seen some weather. Shows character. Like the great men who have served to defend and uphold our republic. Aint always new and pretty. Never fails and is always there.

Just me

I also like a proper retirement. Great great respect in a proper ceremony taking care of retired flags.
Hell, I always get a tear or two. Just reminds me of our old guys who pass. Often fade into the night with not much mention..... not quite good with that.

Y’all take care.
 
Nope, bein’ straight up. Between ‘em all;

1. Willie’s Rye
2. WWC Rye
3. Angel’s Envey Rye (honestly, didn’t care for it).

I think that between prices, availability and taste , WWC Rye is the best bet.


Willie's is gonna be hard to beat IMHO. WWC Rye? I'm in love with it and it'll be the go to for a long time I hope. ;) We gotta find someone around Ennis who can hook us up.
 
Hmmm I might have to take a detour on that road and see if I can spot this toad bull. I know exactly where you are talking about. ?


And I would hope like hell you're the guy that kills it, Moose. But 'that' spot is where there are two Bulls hanging last few weeks. Nothing special, but they'll be killable come Hunting Season. 1st year being legal Bulls I'm guessing. The 'Toad' is down by the "D" Line. MP 32-34. He's a Stud already. HUGE Body as well. Most impressive Animal. I gotta get Pics if he'll hold still. Hangs right next to the Road and on that mound of grass on the sharp corner. I know you know where I'm talking about. I don't hunt that piece. I rarely go past Johnson's Landing.
 
Yep I know where you are talking about. Haven’t seen them yet. Mostly seen cows and calf’s.
I very rarely make my way down there to hunt. I have always stuck around the Falls river area. It’s damn near my back yard. I have fallen to buying a weyco permit.

Yeah I wasn’t going to this year but said fuck it.
I never really hunted that fossil creek area. I was always on the other side of the hill in forks creek. Miss hunting there. Damn Weyerhaeuser anyway.
We will see what happens with elk this year, going out with the smoke pole and see if I can’t knock one down.

Ok, this is really weird. I just got outta the Pole Building from piddle fucking around and moving crap. I came upon this little woven basket in a box kinda randomly and pulled it out. It had a charger and cable for 'something', and some markers, a peace sign on some sorta bungee dealy. I put it on the neck of an old bottle. Hang on, I'll go take a pic of it.

So there that is. It had some other crap in it like a few pens, an old ass cell phone, just random shit. Then I seen some ribbon and some sorta string, and a couple what appeared to be old photos. Moved a bunch of the shit outta the way and snagged the photos. I'll be go to hell of what I found. Hang on. Youngest Son just dropped in. Back out to Pole Building for Ciggy n Beer n BS. And I'll get that Basket pic.

So anyhow, these pics are from the long long ago. The "Frog Gigging" pic from an 'undecided' day in July of 69 is freaking epic. Jimmy be tan, and Norwegian Vikingish. :LOL: I honestly remember the bamboo poles and green tridents. Usually gigged at night, with burlap soaked burlap sacks to keep'm wet. Or 'moist' for you sick fuckers. :ROFLMAO:

The other pic is Jimmy bout the same time with a 135 lb Jack Rabbit. And some sorta Carbine. I don't remember that gun. I remember a bunch of them, but not that one. Anyone gotta clue? Bueller?

Hope ya getta chuckle. I did. ;)




Now for the really weird thing. Bout 45 minutes earlier I uncovered my woven fishing Creels. The one on the left my Dad made in rehab after sawing off a couple fingers in a Shingle Mill up in Neah Bay. He made that for me for therapy for the other fingers he hit, but didn't lose. I layed alotta grass in the bottom of that thing and lined it with Cutthroat. If that thing could talk. Musta been 12 or 13 at the time. The one on the right his Dad made. It's a work of Art and I'm thinking it's time to clean'm up and bring'm inside now that they've resurfaced.

Nostalgic shit. Funny what ya find when ya move.

Oh, and that Mess Kit on the right. It's been packed around since I was like 14. I got the Canteen somewhere, I know I do. Helluva deal. Got the Pup Tent I bought and the Frame only to the BackPack I bought at the same time in Port Angeles. The bag finally gave way. But the Frame actually makes a decent Meat Pack.

*note to self: don't ever make another fucking post like that. ever. :giggle:

edit: maybe it's a thompson
 
The police, fire, and ems guys see the worst.

In a trailer park, in the farthest bed from the only functioning door was a toothless fat woman who OD’d.
The lead medic asked me to start an IV so I climbed on the bed (king size, she was in the middle).
Then I noticed the quart of lube and Hitachi “massager” behind some stuff on the bedside table.
I glanced at the sheets, choked back the vomit that almost made it out and all over the patient, got the IV, then worked with 3 other fire guys to get her down the narrow hallway of that trailer and in the ambulance.

Sad case of a mentally ill woman and a rough life.

I did that for the neighbor kids last year, except I poured them in a line from fast to slow so they could see the speed difference and that the it doesn’t explode like a bomb
 
Dang boys.
Other than a couple nips yesterday as I took a few quiet moments to remember my friends, those lost and forever changed, a fresh bottle of whiskey was crushed today.
Momma’s brother had a couple fingers and my FIL (to be) and I killed the rest......
We did a night swim in the pool and as I swam over to momma for a kiss, she let me know I reeked of whiskey..... I let her know it was all her dad’s fault..... and that is part of being with me, that I smell of whiskey some times.
She smiled, told me she loves me, and gave me a kiss.

Life is good.

How did i become so blessed? Grateful I am.
