  1. I told them I had slipped while climbing. After I came clean, hospital personnel suggestedd I add several more feet for the length of fall on the accident report. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  2. I have been using a shovel. Right now I have orders not to jump off or out of anything until the shack is finished. My fractured heal hurt her worse than me (also hurt my ego under kiddy peer pressure at the time, but I did it to myself; my screw-up). If I can get the ball going again I might just get back in the air. She is 2000 miles away and I got all my gear. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  3. Kohlers seem to last. My JD riding mower is OLD. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  4. Thanks for the input. I have a Honda powered generator. Honda does seem to put a lot of effort in engineering. I would imagine it's a balancing act like the rotating parts of a helicopter. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  5. Nice rig, but I'm tractorless now. Got rid of a little Case International 385. Wish I still had it. Maybe later. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  6. Ever thought of becoming a builder? Be happy you can make a living building something with your own two hands. You are gifted. Wish I was. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  7. I'm sure they do, but I can't afford that model. Too much maintenance and upkeep. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  8. Now I know why Frosty the Snowman always has a jolly smile. Didn't snow girl know that's a perfect way to get hypothermia? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  9. Thinking now of the Toro or the Honda except the Honda got bad grades in maueuvering. Thanks for all the input from everybody. The garage will be heated and it will be a while before the grass comes up. Gonna get some drought resistant grass that should not grow very fast. Fire danger gets high up here in the summer.

  10. Yep, I heard that especially in wet snow. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  11. Appreciate the CR report and the hands-on info. Thanks. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  12. Sold my tractor and a blade would not be practicable close to the house and you still end up with piles of snow to push somewhere. I'm leaning toward one you walk behind that throws snow away from everything evenly. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  13. Nothing to do with cold sex. Would appreciate any opinions on the best snowblower to buy. Enjoying my first Montana winter. I heard it must be at least 10 hp and 2 stage. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  14. Do you believe that Israel has the right to any land that they can forcibly take? Do you believe that Israel has the right to ignore human rights and support an apartheid occupation? You gonnna answer mine with more questions? Unfortunately, I must pull the plug and drive back to Montana. Will continue in a few days. Really; no kidding.

  15. Neither did I, Here in OZ D I N K means Double Income No Kids I heard it as Dual Income No Kids in US. DINK was used in Vietnam but I heard GOOK more often. It was a carry over word from the Korean War that made it to Vietnam. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  16. According to the news yesterday, Arkansas was pretty moderate compared to the rest of south in 1957, and this thing would have been a blood bath had it happened in another state. It was that idiot governor. Apparently he had a lot of phone calls from other southern governors who probably egged him on knowing they were next in line.

  17. "I can die a happy man now..." Heck, I thought you finally screwed the prom queen. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  18. The proceeds from blowing away some VC/NVA paymaster or tax collector was usually kept for souvenirs. If they carried South Vietnamese piasters the more better. Once in a while one of these guys would accidently dance through a company perimeter about 0200hrs popping off trip flares and dodging a lot of sleepy eyed GI's; not to say we were not always alert and ready.

    The War

    Good series covering the war at home and at the front. Ken Burns was very explicit in his coverage of Japanese-American internment, women in the factory, segregation, military fuck-ups, and death in the air, land, and sea. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  20. Do you believe Israel has the right to exist? Do you believe Israel has the right of self-defense? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  21. It is no secret small arms ammo with C4 was scattered in Vietnam or grenades that went off instantly after the pins were pulled. Another dirty trick was poisoning rice and making it available, but that was in a different war the Brits fought and won. We copied a lot of their craft, but of course, nothing like that.

  22. That's better than the "Brazilian" casualities he fainted over. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  23. A friend bought a hat at the Missoula airport that had, "PETA, people eating tasty animals", on the front. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  24. Absolutely. I don’t want a single dollar of mine to go towards supporting an apartheid regime any where in the world being Jewish does not excuse it being any religion or having no religion does not excuse it. As mentioned above I am fighting so are many others with information with truth. If you step outside the US borders you will find many have seen the facts and relies Israel should not be supported not only because it is an apartheid but as a gross violator of UN sanctions, and humane rights. As for Iraq what would I be fighting for? Why would I kill a poor Iraqi who wants us to get the fuck out and let him live his life? or Why would I kill a US troop that has people who love him at home and who is willing to die for my freedom? That seems A very sleazy thing to. I don’t believe in biting the hand that feeds(or in this case grants me freedom). We must thank the men and woman who fight for us every day. It is not there job to chose the fight. When it comes to Iraq my anger and frustration is only towards the sheep who were stupid enough to support this war, and some who are still bahhhhhhhh bahhhhhhing along. I and others have mentioned on here over and over again that if you really care about the men and woman who are willing to die for our country you damn well better make sure you are risking there lives for more then Oil profit, and no bid contracts. We live in a weird world when the people trying to save lives are viewed as the cowards but the ones sitting at home who are willing to send others to die are considered patriotic. It's very commendable of you not to bite the hand that feeds you. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  25. Nice review. Wonder if it will ever be found in high school history books along with Bush's military service? Ironic how these two trash boys avoided military service (although Bush did serve in the Air Guard when he wasn't AWOL). Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
