Looks like most of my long term 'Talk' friends haven't posted in awhile. Wondering.
Disappeared?

Yeah, disappointing to say the least.
Checked the old bailiwick, not there of course. I miss seeing that yellow '53 Chevvy truck, and the alarms posted by my favorite tinfoil hat wearer, and...

Hi VT,
I think 'Old Yeller' and some of the others spend time on what I believe to be a sister forum, Homesteading & Country Living.
Tinfoil Hat went to "experience other interests", or so I'm told.
:smilie flag:
Good for them. That's probably where RR is hanging out too. Kinda concerned about our easily alarmed friend though. Without our steadying influence he could go into full time bunker-hunker. See, I have to pick on him even if he ain't around, just to stay in practice.
Personally, I'm well past the point where 'country living' is just too much work.

Me too !..........
Can't hang round long as I'd like these days. Gravity helped a BIG tree 'rearrange' our home a year ago....
We decided to go larger while we were at it.... Then we got a hurricane.
Now it's all but impossible to hire contractors to do the heavy / hard work due to all of the hurricane damage and repairs needed in this area.
Well, not impossible but 5K for 2K worth of work ?
I'LL DRAG MY OLD BUTT OUT THERE and nail ten boards a day before I pay double or more ... even if it kills me. Hum, dead or pay twice? Tough call... :ROLF:
I've been told I can be a stubborn hard case. :bang Head: I know they were wrong........
Sorry, Rant Over.

I hang out everywhere !...............
I come to both sites daily,just haven't had time to post much or had anything really worth posting other than saying hello. Yeah country living can be a lot of work.
Like Jerry said, sometimes ya just don't have much to say other than hello!
Squirrel, you can yarn on an ankle with the best of us, but we currently have a pullee shortage here. Dang it. Well, maybe I'll have other stuff do, and bitch about, when Spring gets here.
Maybe it's that all of the arguments have all been settled:
Glock is better that 1911.
Mini14 is better that AR15 and AK47
Ford is better than Chevy and especially Dodge.
IH is better than John Deere.
What else is there to talk about.

My understanding is that Glock's original 17 was faithfully copied by Hi-Point.
Of course we could always debate or discuss which came first, the "Chicken or the Egg"???
How about John Wayne or Chuck Norris? :Bart:
John Wayne, hands down. :wink:
I agree with all those except the first 1 and maybe the second 1,never had a Glock or an AR-15 or AK-47 so I'll just take your word on it :wink:Maybe it's that all of the arguments have all been settled:

Without a doubt! When John Wayne said "Look Mister!" you knew **** was going to fly.
Chuck Norris was bad but he never had a good catch-phrase.
My dad would rarely use the phrase "Look Chief!" and we all knew to dive for cover.
Being a WWII vet, he rarely flashed back to Army mode, but when he did, we knew **** was going down.
My nephew was young and has an image of him holding the muzzle of a M1 Garand under a poacher's chin burned forever in his memory.
"Look Chief! I'll shoot you and throw you in the river with the other trash!"
I explained to my nephew that this was trained into them so they could 'off' an enemy without endangering fellow troops around them.
I'm sure Pops is down explaining to the devil that as a NASA engineer he's seen much worse metal fatigue in rocket thruster vanes than in the door hinges around there, and he should tighten up!
My nephew has that Garand today, and will until he dies.

Just trying to stir things up for fun. I don’t actually believe any of that stuff. Someone implied that there hasn’t been much in the way of conversation on the forum. Now we’ve got stuff to talk about. :stir pot:
My favorite line of John Wayne was to Bruce Dern in “The Cowboys”. “ Had my back broke, and hip twice. But on my worst day, I could still beat the hell out of you.”
Well I worked on 'em!
Back in the old-days nobody put antifreeze in the cooling system of tractors. They had radiator caps the size of a small plate so the bucket of creek-water could be easily poured in.
Every spring the IH guy would be trying to put fresh bondo on the crack that ran from the front of the block to the back, just under the head.
The John Deere guy would casually pick up the freeze plugs from the ground and hammer them back in the holes and go to plowing.
(that's why they were called "freeze-plugs").
I'm still here as well.
I think I'm here.....
I never left, but I was never acquainted with the group of friends that started this forum. From other forums, I am familiar with several members that post here now.
