A Sunday Rumination........

Rarely do I Post on the weekends any more.........but Dragn is napping on the couch, I fixed everything I have to fix, bought a new Radial Arm Saw....and the "muse" is with me.....

Can't ignore Her, she might just leave.

I'm just plain and simple, truly and excitedly......In Love with this Woman.

Hory Clap.

Third Marriage......and never, ever before felt quite this way.......The first was "the thing to do"....at 19 years old. My gosh I had no clue. Neither of us had a clue, and it turned out rather less than "nice"......( I don't deal very well with a spouse breakeing one particular vow)....seems less than Honorable to me.....

Second?......Hoo Boy, a seriously Beautiful woman......but, with my TBI and ADD, didn't notice for long enough at any one time that we were Bugs Bunny married to Hannibal.......that's what I learned "after"...in the post operation briefing, as it were......

But Dragn? Hoooory Claaap!!!! She Is The One. No doubt, no hesitation, no question. From that moment when she jumped off her desk and into my arms......She is Truly Beautiful, Honorable and not just Beautiful on the "outside".

For the first time, I feel like I have to work a bit to be "worthy" of the Love of a Woman........

Lord knows, She has her quirks, as you may have noted, so do I........but every single moment with Her is Joy.......

All right, I'll stop now.....otherwise, you might think I'm all romantic and stuff....

27 June 2009.......Wow.

Oh, I bought a Tuxedo.
Hory Clap.

Army Testing another Space Age weapon......

Even more impressive than the AR12, the Full Auto recoiless Shotgun I Blogged on in a Post a ways back.....

The U.S. Army is set to start testing a computerized, high-tech projectile launcher that can take out bad guys hiding around corners and in caves or trenches, even if they're out of the soldier's line of sight.

Some experts call it the "Judge Dredd" gun, after the Sylvester Stallone movie. The Pentagon calls it the XM-25 Individual Air Burst Weapon, which uses a laser rangefinder to precisely measure the distance to a target, then primes a fuse on a timed grenade so that the projectile explodes exactly where it should.

"The way a soldier operates this is you basically find your target, then laze to it, which gives the range, then you get an adjusted aim point, adjust fire and pull the trigger," deputy program manager Richard Audette told Army News Service.

"Say you've lazed out to 543 meters ... when you pull the trigger it arms the round and fires it 543 meters plus or minus a one-, two- or three-meter increment, then it explodes over the target."

A squad trying to neutralize an enemy fighter wouldn't have to wait until he showed himself — instead, they could just aim to a spot near him, then use the XM-25 to have a grenade explode directly there.

"For example, in Iraq we had many instances where there was a sniper firing from a rooftop and you have a squad trying to engage that target, but the soldiers couldn't get to him with the weapons they had, so they'd call in the Air Force to drop a JDAM (joint direct attack munition)," said Audette. "We can take out the target at $25 per XM round as opposed to a $20,000 to $50,000 JDAM."

With a range of 750 meters — nearly half a mile — the XM-25 would also be very effective in Afghanistan, where Taliban fighters often hide behind rocks and in caves.

In addition to precision-timed grenades, the gun is also built to fire armor-piercing, door-breaching, anti-personnel and less-than-lethal rounds

Lourves me some high tech, save the Good Guys, Kill the Goblins weaponry....

Three Wollf Moon Tee.........

I'm as always, well ahead of the "cool" curve on this one. Bought one two years ago, purely because the artist used me, Wolfie the Bigger and Lil'Wolfie for his models.

Consider it a family portrait.

Who'd a thunk?

Good Mood for the Day.......

Fran and Marlo Cowan have been married for 62 years. Marlo is 89-years-old in this video. And both found themselves at the Mayo Clinic.

There happens to be a piano in the clinic’s atrium, and the Cowans decided to play.

There is more cheer and energy in this couple than many 20-year-olds. And they fill a hospital with laughter and smiles.


Hope to heck Dragn and I can do that when we're that old....well, except that she'll have to do the playing, I'll just stand around looking good and tapping my foot.....

The Ten Commadments.......

Some people have trouble with all those 'shalls' and 'shall nots' in the Ten commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms.

So, in the South they translated the 'King James'... no joke, (posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainsesboro, TN)

(1) Just one G-d.......ps, it ain't Allah.

(2) Put nothin' before G-d.

(3) Watch yer mouth.

(4) Git yourself to Sabbath meetin'......Then go have a beer and take a nap

(5) Mind yer Ma & Pa.

(6) No killin'.....don't pull that trigger.

(7) No foolin' around with another fella's gal.....or you wife's sister neither.

(8) Don't take what ain't yers......or Bring that back, ain't got your name on it.

(9) No tellin' tales or gossipin'....what goes on in your neightbor's trailer is his business.

(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff.

Makes sense to me.......still broke about five of 'em....how about you?

Memorial Day.....2009

Wow, I've been doing this for two years now. Memorial Day and Veteran's Day are two of my favorite, and least favorite National Holidays all at the same time......

Those who've known me know why..........sure it's a day off of the grind, but.....yannow me, you understand.

Today is the day that we honor our Fallen, those that gave the ultimate sacrifice, so that you and I could truly Live....and be Free.....

Rather than write another, I looked at some earlier Posts and decided I'd just link to last years.....and sent to me by "Hog" over at the "Porch".....it says what I want to say without ou having to read my ramblings.....so...what are you waiting for?

Go.
Memorial Day 2008

And on the other hand....it IS a day off....worked on Wolfie the Bigger's Jeep, battery problems, dontcha know, M'Lady is doing some movie editing for school, Uber and Kitteh are out in the yard, some James Taylor is playing in the garage, and all is right with the world....at least for the moment, because "they" will have to survive without me on this day....

Oh, anybodies want to know in one single song why I absolutely Love this Woman? Didn't think so, but you know me....here's what's playing in my garage......


And no, I don't agree with his politics.....doesn't friggin' matter when he's singing Love songs.

Love you Dragn......forever, and thanks for being this song.

A Brief History of the World..........

The way it all happened, with a Huge Hat Tip to my Buddy Dennis.......

For those that don't know about history. Here is a condensed version:

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals, and
2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can was invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food is standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most liberal women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history:

It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above in the Comments before cutting, pasting and forwarding it.

A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off.

And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your position.
