60+ year old thread.

morning. we have had deer like 15 feet from are house with 3 dogs in side. lol

we do. we have M1 garands. 3 M1 carbine’s. 3 kimber .22’s and i for got what dad got this year. idk why i want to say a 1903.

(yeah i know i’m not in my 60’s but dad is 61)

 

Welcome to the thread Zach. Nice post!


Raining like crazy here this morning. I should be able to finish up my network connectivity for the upstairs PC and the entertainment center today.

 

thank you! but i won’t be here much. i’ll just stop by from time to time.

need help hooking up a PC? if so get ask. i have to hook all are tv’s computers dvd players up. when we have to move them or something. i can get it done about 3x faster than dad. because we lost the instructions and he can’t do much of anything with out them.

 

THX but I should be good to go. Just need to download the NIC card driver from Dell and remove the wireless NICK card and the associated driver.

I guess as far as PC's go this would be a PC 103 or 102 class. LOL

Running the CAT 5E cables was a PITA, but that is done. Time to put ends on the cables and hook them up.

I was reading last night on how to turn on Internet access on my TV and AVR, looks pretty easy as well. The hardest part will be reprogramming the Logitech Harmony 1 remote.

 

well sounds like you know what you are doing. lol. and you have a tv with internet.

 

Morning Hi 6, Tom and welcome Zach. Packing today to go up to the panhandle this weekend. Its a first the better half and I are judging a bird dog event this weekend. We have judged before but not at the same time. The sport will never be the same. Jim

 

Morning All...December 7th Pearl Harbor Day...70 year anniversary...

Have a good weekend Jim...enjoy the judging and be nice to the missus...

Hi Tom, Zach and Mark...hey Zach, stop in anytime...we need a little young blood now and again to get ours flowing...Ken

 

Carl...hope it loads alright. http://mail.aol.com/35138-111/aol-6...ldMail&partId=3&saveAs=HuntingSeasonAgain.wmv

enjoy....Ken

 

well thanks for the welcomes guys. i have posted like 2 or 3 times in here before.

and ok ken i’ll come by and living things up some. i have to do it with dad anyways. lol


just wondering how many of you guys still work? dad has to retire at the end of next september when he turns 62. but i think he is going to retire at the end of august. he has to talk to the people that do all the retiring stuff and see what day will be the best in the long run for the best pay or something.

 

With a little luck, that is if he works for a corporation, his job will be abolished in August next year. The severance package might be a decent one. Then he can draw unemployment and Social Security FTW.


Your dad is smart to be looking at the possibilities this far out from August 2012.

 

yeah i have no idea what you talking about. lol. to young. he works for the state. Tennessee wildlife resources agency= thats are state fish and game. they deal with all fishing, hunting and boating laws. they and any spechel even that happens on water.

 

morning all... gorgeous morning here, turning rainy later on and someone must have left the freezer door open out west 'cause it's supposed to get cold tomorrow. High yesterday 77... high tomorrow 56*

Jim, good luck with the judging. Tom, good luck with getting all the "stuff" up and programmed/running

Pearl Harbor Day

going to buy some jeans online because i don’t want to get out in it and deal with the nut head drivers that can’t drive in rain. and the store i get mine from don’t get many in my size and style.

 

Ken,,, Judging with Lynnie is going to be a trip, Ive got 10+ yrs exp but I dont like to be too hard on folks or the dogs, she thinks it all has to be by the book. Hunt test are easy I try to pass each dog if I can, Thats how you hook the new bees, Going home with that orange ribbon,, yep they will be back..Jim Hi Sue

 

Zach,

I'm retired and I still work. How's that for confusing? I retired from the Army after 26 years and then went to work as a college vp. I'm 57 so I still have a few years to go until I pop smoke for the last time.

Mark

 

Two thumbs up Jim. Have a great time.

 

not confusing. i can see that. i think dad has been with TWRA for 30 years maybe more. thats what he went to school for.

 

Any MILSURPLUS collectors here? I picked up a gorgeous Enfield No.5 Mk.I Jungle Carbine yesterday. Can't wait to put some .303 through it.[/QUOTE]
morning all: again. white stuff tonight.
had a enfield .303 years ago. bought at a grant's store for, I think $19.99. wish it had been the carbine. probablly would still have it.
a kid I know just made a good deal at a yard sale. milk crate full of ammo, 8mm mauser-12 ga. shot & slugs, and a bunch of .22's. also got the .22 rifle.
I think the rifle is a model 62 winchester trapper, in very good condition. total cost-$100. I believe this winchester is worth between $800-$1000. it's a pump W/ a hammer, and a lg. knurled screw on the side, which I think is for takedown.

guaranteed no deal like this at gunshows!

 

Your dad can go onlineand find out some stuff also go to SS office and ask lots of ???. Tell him that he will get somewhere from 1000 to 1500 a Mo. not a lot but helps keep you going. Also he will be - 2% each year under 67. I lost 10% but its good for me as I was sick of the rat race, the dam rats were winning and I was tired of the run... Jim

 

I looked at the difference in benifits from age 62 till 66 and determined I would need to receive benifits for 12 years past 66 to make up the difference. It was a no brainer for me. I may go back to work in a few years but right now I am getting caught up on all the projects I let slide over the years.
