@medic2230, this is not my submission!!!! Does this help?



I was just walking through my driveway and thought this looked nice.

 

Bragger! Wish I had that view right outside my door!

 

This was a half hour ago at a dam near where I live.

 

Very nice!

 

View out my door has this beauty sitting in it now. Picked it up yesterday afternoon. Ready to go camping now.

 

An AirBus A380, Qantas Flight QF7 landing at DFW after it's 15 hour flight from Sydney Australia. Double deck, 600+ passengers, 4 engine and bad ass...

 

What bumper is that, Murph?

 

Relentless

Eric, he’s on TW.

 

Ah. Did you get it powder coated white? Or is it painted?

 

Not quite Cold Iron is the term used for a US Naval ship that has the Engineering Plant shutdown and is not underway. It is receiving hotel services from the pier and in its home port. I have been in a Cold Iron status for a bit more than 20 years now.

It is also the title of a poem by Rudyard Kipling which I like that in essence states that the sword is what always wins in the end.

GOLD is for the mistress - silver for the maid" -
Copper for the craftsman cunning at his trade! "
" Good! " said the Baron, sitting in his hall,
But Iron - Cold Iron - is master of them all."

Normally I am in SD right now pheasant hunting with some other retired Navy and AF guys but work interfers with life once again this year. Never done a pheasant tower shoot but those that I know who have enjoyed it. I have a friend down in Iowa that puts on several tower events a year he raises more than 40K birds annually and some get thrown out of the top of a silo that has been converted for birds\clays. Not sure it is for me, I do enjoy shooting a lot of clay targets all year long however.

 

Rattle can baby. Easy to fix and I don’t mind pulling it off to paint it. I usually do the sliders once a year anyway.

 

Ok. I really like that bumper. Have you hit any deer with it?


Also, what is that dark spot on your rear fender?

 

I can't speak for Murph, but I have hit two deer in the last seven months and the only damage to the truck or the bumper is one of the deer hits scratched off a 2 inch section of the powdercoat. The insurance company should give me some sort of discount...

 

Submission.

 

Nice. Are those grape vines?

 

Yes. Goose Ridge Winery in Richland, Wa.

 

Just visiting?

 

I live in Richland. The dry side of the state.

 

Ah. So a beer wine run.

 

Actually I was just on the way home from dropping off some donations, and I saw the colors. So I went back and took some pictures and had a cider. They also make excellent ciders.
