Go home

 

I believe you, hoff, and your weird sayings are the ones out of place here.

 

FYI, Outpost Armory south of Murfeesboro is having a moving sale. Employee pricing on most stuff. Some items going at cost to get rid of it.

I got some hard to find ammo for a good price.

 

Sorry the fuel holler

What were you doing so far from home?? and didn't even stop to say hi...

 

Went up to Norris lake and Clinch river fishing, then down to Atlanta for a funeral. Got my wading boots out of the truck but I think I left my neoprene wading socks hanging on mother-in-law's mantle drying...


After years of passing all the billboards on 24 for Outpost, finally stopped in even though we really wanted to get home quick.

Also, it was 68 degrees and raining when I passed AOP area.

 

Lol.


Me at Harlan at the end of the trip: “I’m fixin to head home.”


@Snowy and the rest of Chicago:



Apparently “fixin to” isn’t universally accepted. Haha.

 

I know what you mean, I can usually tell when my Southern English has confused someone by the look on their face

 

Another variation I often hear is "fittin to"

 

Hey now, I hardly claim Chicago as home. Actually lived 6 years around Indianapolis prior to moving north a couple years ago. Grew up in rural Illinois in a town of one thousand people lol

 

I just find it entertaining that you had about as much of an idea of “fixin to” as I did a “fuel island”. Haha. I have no problem with Chicago, Indy, or BFE.

 

I figured fuel island was a universal term, hell it is in the aviation biz.

Lol I've been wheeling for 19 years, I have learned what "fixin to" means LOL!!

My favorite is talking to you guys and I get a puzzled look as i fire off 14 words a second.

 

Yep gotta slow the speech down when you in the South.

 

Yep

 

Y . . . . E . . . . P

 

Didn't somebody tint the windows on their house? I need recommendations

 

I did.
Used Gila 20% mirrored. Got it from HomeDepot.

 

Have you noticed a temperature change in the house? Basically we've got this big window in the house and don't want to add blinds but it gets pulverized by the sun all day and heats up the house.

 

Not sure if there was a change in whole house but a few spots that get direct sun in are noticable.
Big double width glass door used to feel warmth in the floor near it. After tint, floor doesn't get hot.
Near another window, counter and cabinets used to get warm to touch in afternoon sun. Tint fixed that too.

I have to assume that the floor, cabinets, and counter had been radiating heat into the rooms and rooms are in theory cooler now.

Cutting the bright glare and still being able to see outside is nice.
