We are doing a clear the shelter event tomorrow along with a free food giveaway. Hopefully we have a good turnout so I don’t have to unload this back in my shop

 

Wow, what kind of hick town do you live in, I thought Missoula was a city??

Edit: but that means you still have 3 hours to get a coffee maker tonight!

 

Piney Rooter is the proper term... Even the small ones can bull doze a LOT of property in a short time!!

Open season on those beasts is 24/7/365 here in SC. The farmers HATE them!!! Destructive beasts!!

 

I just do estate sales. I have more coffee makers than I can shake a stick at.

 

I'm not 100% sure what all was stationed at the Pendleton air wing when I was there, but there never seemed to be a shortage of 46's, 53's, Huey looking things and Cobras. I like me some Cobras... We'd see the Ospreys out at the stumps for the CAX's and occasionally an AC-130 would blow up some stuff with the big machine gun along with the A-10's

MY brother lives in Jacksonville, got out of the navy after 12 years. It's fun to go to JAX NAS and watch some stuff take off.

 

Jeesh, you're high maintenance

 

Coastguard at Kadena??? Not belittling the CG in any way - please understand did not know they were there?? When were you at Kadena? PM me if you will -thanks,
Mark

 

That's how I got the spare in my basement...

 

If the Navy is nearby, you can be sure there are a few Coasties around to keep them afloat...

 

In truth, the CG actually goes a lot of places you would not expect to find them. We had CG customs at JBB in Iraq. Miles and miles of desert, hardly an ounce of water not in a bottle, but the CG was there to save us from plundering everything not tied down.

 

Our Walmart was 24 - 7 before COVID. Now, it is open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., not that I ever did a midnight run. LOL. I went to my Walmart yesterday and there were plenty of empty shelves. It's like stepping back in time. I mainly use Amazon, Bezos or not, because I have better selection, better price and most things are here within 2 days. Also, I don't have to deal with fools like the one yesterday who was blocking the self checkout registers until his woman rolled up with their cart about 2 minutes after he started blocking access, empty handed. I guess he was the advance scout.

 

Morning

T storms in the forecast for today and currently under a Flash flood warning

 

I was Marine Corps for 4 years before I saw the light and went to the CG.

Caught a wonderful deployment in the Marines to a place called Beruit and then did the usual year on Okinawa with the associated west pac floats. Then I got out and joined the CG reserves to be safe. Lol. I ended up with 3 deployments to the Middle East with the CG in a Port Security Unit, basically an anti-terrorism/anti piracy small boat unit. Like Mike said, the CG does get around.

 

Good morning folks, supposed to be a nice day today. Lots to do, hopefully some R+R later. Enjoy the day, be smart, be safe, to many knuckleheads out there.

 

Good morning people!
Getting ready to greet the masses we normally do free food Friday about twice a month and occasionally I have trouble getting into the parking lot at the shelter. People have been asking the girls if we could do it on Saturday instead so expecting a madhouse today. Or local Walmart distribution hooks us up with busted bags and sometimes like today pallets of Un damaged food. Times have been tough for some of our community and the animals are the first to suffer. All the shelters around are full the rescues are full but we do what we can. Our team hit the fund raising trail pretty hard recently and we have a new transport van on order. Lspca can throw in free transport as incentive to other rescues to pull from our shelter. Hopefully it will help and I can stop renting vans.

 

Morning

 

Thanks for doing your part, it really is important that people like you will step up.
