Dave, Glad to hear things are looking good for you folks. Our prayers are still with you. Swamprat

Tony, Did you do the SKY WALK? The glass walkway out over the edge of the canyon? Swamprat

That is impressive!!!!

Went to my daughters house for a great cookout. My son-in-law can grill to a fair the well. Had to wait out a rain storm and tornado alert but got the grill fired about 4pm. Bought my grandsons a bunch of fireworks and took 2 of my black powder signal cannons. The boys were in seventh heaven with firing the cannons and blowing up pop cans with fire crackers. Son-in-law's nephew Josh was visiting (14 years old) and he fell in love with the cannons. Before we were done Josh was measuring powder, loading, and firing like a civil war vet. Kept saying,"I got to get one of these". Finished the evening with the usual assortment of night fireworks. All set off by the grandsons and Josh. Got to set back and enjoy thier excitement. All in all a really great Forth. What was yours like? Swamprat

Jerry, I'm doing ok. Have 13 more treatments then we will see. The treatments aren't bad its the damn runs that are getting me down. At one point I lost 25 pounds in 2 weeks. Guns give me something to do here in the house. My shop is set up in a spare bedroom (air condition in summer and heat in winter). Bob's didn't have the part either. I've used him before real good service and the right part every time. Swamprat

Take a moment and remember what you are celebrating. Also offer up a small prayer for those who have fallen to insure it. Swamprat

You Texan's ain't never satisfied! You complain about no rain for 3 years. Then when the Good Lord gives you the deficient, you start complaining again! Just teasing! It's as bad here in Kansas. You keep your powder dry, Swamprat

Congradulations! Now you have every boy in the country to worry about. Swamprat

Subject: THE RIGHT SIGN Jose and Carlos are panhandling at the freeway off ramp. Jose drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage free house and has a lot of money to spend. Carlos only brings in 2 to 3 dollars a day. Carlos asks Jose how he can bring home a suitcase full of $10 bills every day. Jose says, "Look at your sign." It reads: "I have no work, a wife & 6 kids to support" Carlos looks at Jose's sign. It reads: "I only need another $10.00 to move back to Mexico" Swamprat

fritz, Glad to hear your favorite tractor is back. Were did you find the honest mechanic at? Swamprat

Post some pictures of the magazine. I have an unknown 25 auto mag that I will give you if it matches. Swamprat

My brother-in-laws pumper truck say's. It may smell like crap to you, but it's bread and butter to me. Swamprat

fritz, If the JB don't hold get some wood stove patching cement and use it with the beer can. Swamprat

Tony, These KKW's have the same action as a 98 Mauser. They were used as traning rifles. Unfortunately this one was put on a custom stock. The orginal stock was probably duffel cut as a WWII bring back. This is the only one I've ever seen made by Carl Gustaf of Sweden most were made by Mauser. The Mauser's appear every once in a while on the auction sites for sale. The sites are orginal to the rifle and the top of the receiver and back portion of barrel have been factory stipiled to reduce glare. The front site is hooded. Shoot's 22 long rifles and is dead accurate. I have owned the gun about 3 years having purchased it from a friend right before he died of cancer. He aquired it from an old gunsmith in Colorado along with a bunch of other guns and parts so no history is known. Swamprat

None of the above seems to be a good choice. Swamprat

Karl, These are pic's of my Carl Gustaf KKW 22 training rifle. Not very good but you can see some of it. The sights are original to the rifle. Has Boyd custom stock. Jun08_20 JUn08_24 Jun08_19. Jun08_26 Swamprat

The city won't say anything to the garbage people. They will make a law to prohibit hitting trash cans with a big fine if you do. Enjoy your game while you can. Swamprat

Here lately I've been getting the idea that what I'm seeing happen to the free Christian America I grew up in and fought for, is the same thing that average Joe Roman watched when his empire collapsed. Not a damn thing he could do as his leaders screwed him out of his way of life. He could complain but he couldn't remove those in power. I can complain but I can't remove those in power. The power people are not from my state so I can't vote them out. I can vote out thier followers from my state but they just seem to get replaced sooner or later because the power people stay in office for decades. All the while pissing away my way of life. When God is pushed to the edge of an American coin the empire is collapsing and I feel as helpless as Joe Roman. Just needed to vent Swamprat

Why settle them in groups? Put one person/family in each small town across America and don't allow them to move until they have citizenship. Bet they would assimilate real damn quick. And you can bank on the folks that already live there to keep an eye on them (no secret cells). Swamprat

Nice to know the cold hasn't frozen all the brains up there! I really like that term, "The People Who Keep Us Safe." Covers all them do gooders from Democrats on down to wrong thinking Republicans. Swamprat

Gun Safety Tips Never keep a loaded gun in a house with children unless you want to get rid of the little bastards. Make one room in the house a "safe room" this is where you will keep your weapons and ammunition. Keep it locked at all times. It is also a good place to store the naked pictures you downloaded from the web. Keep your weapons in one location and the ammunition in another location inside the safe room. This to prevent a child from accidentally finding your weapon but also so an intruder doesn't use your own weapon against you. There is nothing more embarrassing than getting pistol whipped and having your wife raped by someone using your weapon. You will be the laughing stock of the neighborhood. Never hand a loaded gun to anyone. Always shoot the bullets in the chamber/magazine into the floor. Except when there is another floor below. If this is the case; shoot the bullets into the ceiling. Except when there is another floor above. If this is the case; you should manually remove the ammunition. Make sure each family member knows how, when and WHEN NOT to handle a gun. Teach them to never hold a gun while you are holding a gun on them. If you’ve recently purchased a new firearm; read the manufacturer instructions and safety precautions included. Then ignore them. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do. For Christsakes, you own a gun! For personal shooting and safety instruction, consult with your local gun dealer or shooting club. Or for more expertise instruction consult with your local neighborhood teenager. Many are in youth gangs or getting ready to go on mass shooting sprees and are quite knowledgeable on shooting and safety instruction. Always unload your weapon before cleaning. A loaded gun is dangerous and cleaning it while loaded is stupid. If it fires and kills you, everyone will think you committed suicide. Never clean your weapons while alone in your home listening to the police scanner. If a friend drops by he will think you are a psycho. Clean your weapon using the proper oils and cloths. Never clean weapons by putting them in the dishwasher. Taking a weapon with you in the car is legal in some areas. Understand the law. Never leave your weapon on the seat, someone might steal it. Place it in the glove compartment. It is a good idea to also keep gloves in the glove compartment. If you get stuck in the middle of road rage it is better to drive away. If you accidentally shoot the that cut you off, be sure to wear the gloves before shooting the jerk. Without fingerprints it will be harder to trace the gun back to you. Some areas allow you to carry a concealed weapon. In areas that do not allow a person to carry a concealed weapon, be sure it is concealed at all times, should someone one see it, you could land in jail. Discharging a pistol at a range without proper ear and eye protection could result in permanent damage to those senses. Always wear protective gear while discharging and if any discharge appears yellow in color, you might want to see a doctor. Know gun etiquette. At the range never ask to borrow someone else's ear protection. They don't want to get the ear infection you had last week. When shooting at the range and hitting your target; never yell out, "Take that coppers!" Swamprat

Thanks for the help. I think I have it now. Swamprat

What do I have to have to post a picture? I got a digital camera and a computer. What else? Swamprat

Here's another one for fritz. Hazards of golf A man staggered into a hospital with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes, and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally the doctor asked him, "What happened to you?" "Well, I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our balls into a cow pasture." We went to look for them and while I was looking around I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end." "I walked over, lifted its tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it - stuck right in the middle of the cow's butt." Still holding the cow's tail up, I yelled to my wife, "Hey, this looks like yours!" "I don't remember much after that

"I would like to think that may have something to do with it. But what the hell do I know, I'm just a dirt farmer that happened to be as sucessful as his father." fritz, As long as a man has land he has wealth. There is a book called Mother Earth about a Japanese man and his relationship with the land. A great read and insight into wealth and keeping it. Swamprat
