As we walked thru the door the owner , a very nice woman greeted us . Then Started telling her daughters in Arabic. I imagine she was saying something like ok the two fifteen year old hollow legs have arrived, keep the chicken and potatoes gravy coming.

I finally got blocked by someone infamous Roy Moore

I responded to a tweet of his quoting Walter sobchak from the big Lebowski.

Dude he’s a petter ass and Roy blocked me I love it.

To me you can say what you want about the tenets of National socialism but at least it has a ethos.

I love Walter he’s a bad ass with a good heart. Please know I’m not bragging I just find it amusing, that I got under the turds skin in his decision cycle.

Sitting on the porch in Appalachia with the boog it's so quiet

I well my brothers and I grew up in this house western Pennsylvania the Mississippi of the north. I came back home today for a friend funeral Anna she was 96 , Anna was a fine human a compassionate woman like my family was from Eastern Europe tribe a daughter of immigrants, her parents as my grandparents decided to bag it Poland Ukraine and head to America. Searching for a better life for themselves and their kids.

After the funeral we my brothers came back to the farm. And they started drinking beer whiskey we started playing cards , me I’m eating naltrexone maintaining and I’ll take that , it’s good it works for me no brag I just eat one pill a day it works I don’t know how but I’ll take the end results no booze.

Talking with my brothers one is a union steam fitter the the other brother is a Doctor and me I’m a teamster truck driver Our youngest brother is a non union driver truck driver. We’re all in age me I’m 53 51 49 and 45 , my youngest brother couldn’t make Anna funeral. But sitting talking with my brothers the General practitioner I joke as I say that and the union steam fitter.

So I asked them in conversation over 7 card stud nickel dime poker , our we the first generation of family that had indoor plumbing or the last generation to use a outhouse. We moved here to the farm in 72 I was 6 , our father was retired from wounds Vietnam and he went to work in steel mill.

In the answer to my question on indoor plumbing or outhouse as generation. Between hands of 7 card we had a crisis it seems the freezer above the fridge did a great job. In cooling their beers down and several ended up frozen son of a bitch Heineken always freezes fast I smile in understanding. I tell em both drink it warm grab beer out case I drank warm beer in infantry joking with them.

So as my brothers figured out how to de thaw beers we went to the front porch to sit and talk. I brought up I still look at the wood coal stove in kitchen I cannot believe you kept it to my brother the doctor in kitchen they have electric stove. I said do you remember getting up as kids and mom would have that stove hot. And we would get dressed for school by it in morning.

Frost on windows no insulation in house elementary school, my brothers smiled. And I tell my brothers today my boys are all iron pile at gym 15 they don’t wanna be scrawny like their father they wanna get bulked. And as my brothers and I talk we turn to today hate Muslims Mexicans, I said fellas the hate goes on 100 years ago the Catholic Church was the enemy the Irish and Polish were the Mexicans of today. So boog and man just enjoying the pre dawn twilight boog is snoring next to me as I sit on steps. He had touch his people as I rub his ears boog is I love you man as long a your near me we’re ok. Just rub my ears and head and I will snuggle into you man.

Boog and man are in overwatch I find humor

Grill is fired up I will be slow cooking boneless ribs. No bird chipmunk rabbit may enter the yard as boog and man have it covered. grandmother my wife took our daughters and grandsons shopping. The boys reported to the pizza shop they wanted summer job and three people called off. So they went into help the owner called and they went into help out. They get done at 2 pm, later boog and man will turn up the heat and drop the marinade chicken on grill and potatoes.

My wife asked me if I needed anything I said stop and get KFC coleslaw and then store get broccoli salad four pounds. All hole digging and any playing decided by the boog the chocolate lab has stopped with our golden retriever and our grandson Newfie.

Guys we cannot play or dig holes or chew sticks we have a duty guarding the grill , we have to guard the grill as man cooks tummy yummies. Because man shares and king knuckle head is laying on patio wall seriously watching the yard. The golden and Newfie went in crashed on couch in air conditioning, but the boog is out here a true patriot. Boog is vet he has had multiple actions against skunks my knuckles head.

The tv show wife swap i have fantasy boog and dog swap

I actually never watched the show , but I have this idea. Dog swap as I laid on the couch this morning catching up on am joy from yesterday. King knuckle head comes cruising by the couch stops to get ear rub.

And on his muzzle was potato salad licking his chops that I tossed in the trash, and man forgot to put trash can away after cleaning out the fridge. Now he is crashed on couch big chocolate lab head on my hip.

So In dog swap we would swap boog for a good dog. Then haul ass to a different state kind of like wittiness protection that the feds offer it’s a fantasy I can dream.

Flag detail Monday no replies needed a ramble

I been up having coffee got email from our Airborne association yesterday of Graves our sons and I are covering,once again I am reminded how lucky I was. 84-87 to have never been in any action, I owe a big thank You to whoever talked regan off the ledge of massive mission creep into Central America. As a matter of fact I owe the Russian army a thank you for never trying to head west ,after I broke my ankle twice on drops , I got taken off jump status sent to mech infantry in West Germany. Thanks my Soviet brothers in arms for letting me party hard.

As young kid Airborne infantry I had that mindset aggressive when ever where ever. If we go we’re gonna send them to powder valley better start saying your prayers. Just how we thought young stupid huge green gills wet behind the ears. Our only saving grace was the senior NCO if it would have happened as they were Vietnam vets.

Monday we only have three graves to cover two rakkasans 187th and and a herd troop 173rd. Fine Americans KIA KOREA OTHER TWO VIETNAM. Yesterday I got our suits out cleaners least we can do is to dress presentable I even spit shined our dress shoes.

And I am reminded of those who served and still walking around. My or our two son in laws iraq and Afghanistan multiple tours as naval corpsmen and a army scout. They remind me of my father two tours with the 173rd Vietnam, burned out and waking around with bad memories.

And I have my Great uncle set up Army retired 1951 to 1976 Korea and Vietnam tours. I bought him a new cigarette rolling machine 4 boxes of tops tubes and three cans tops tobacco and a case of Heineken. My wife asked me why do you enable him I said he survived two wars so tobacco and booze is not a big threat he survived two wars one sharp trooper bad ass ,i smoke a pipe.

He is a Very smart man why he told me join that fine service the coast guard stays away from the infantry. I was young and dumb didn’t listen, but I say this with sincerity and humor. My first jump in airborne school in the belly of that C-130 when those fine airborne NCOS cracked the doors on that aircraft. I was squinting because of the sun looking around that C-130 for the nearest coast guard recruiting office. To quote Everett George Clooney’s character from oh brother where art thou on that day. In 84 I was thinking over that DZ at benning were in a tight spot.

My two guys are getting bulked up

Woke up around 02:00 And once again I removed ear buds from our one son sleeping, and I took our other sons socks off, gotta let those dogs breath your feet boy. They slept thru dad checking on them even the chocolate lab menace stayed in bed I did not even get a wag wag as I rubbed his ears.

As they were crashed in their boxers I noticed that this quest they are on to get bulk is starting to show results. They passed me in weight they probably pushing 160 to my 145. And height they almost there I’m six foot shoes I’m size 12 and both boys size11.5 at fifteen years old.

To the results I owe my wife’s friend a thank you. She is a awesome woman 54 years of age a body builder and she has taken our sons under her wings she is a beautiful woman in heart and soul . Dad well I always been a cardio and lite weights a lot of reps in my exercise kind like circuit pt.

Gone are the days of my sons and I hitting the gym working out, then hitting the pool for laps. That always ended up in a controlled riot as in let’s get dad and dunk him. Now these guys just head to the iron pile , no more shark attacks in the ymca pool. I kind miss that I really looked forward to being sharked I knew it was coming. Or hand to hand pool noodles fights they were the best. The life guards probably glad they I joke probably used to think oh here come these three clowns.

Iggo my friend in regards to your post

I wished we lived closer we could jam. I just checked out reverb.com and under navigator electric guitar they have two Les Paul’s in 1800$ range and two strats around grand.

In no way am I trying to offend Gibson or Strat owners. But navigators are awesome guitars. Hand crafted in Japan I own one Les Paul navigator bought used and it is tone beast.

Nitro finish
Hide glue
Long tenon
Beefy 59 neck
Mahogany body
Brazilian fretboard

Players have been arguing these points apples and oranges for years so it’s personal choice. Do you play a finish or glue no but does it effect tone maybe. Anymore I joke and give up as I have hearing aid.

iggo you get what you want but all I’m saying is. In 85 when I bought my first mij tokai for like 250$ used I was hooked on mij guitars same quality most of them Orville greco tokai as Gibson and fender.
