Two days back, busy with a daily routine some things are left , not forgotten.
Men truly die when they are forgotten.
God & guns
the kind of stuff would make Gunny Ermey smile
look close, he’s smiling
I was smiling like that when I seen the table, back a few days, called a wood worker friend, hea man, I need a table for a 30 pound machine I found in a box at the end of the drive, in the snowbank. Went seen table, it was ready.
“Chance, I know you wanted two shelves, and all wood, I felt I I needed some Tig time, so you got one shelf, see this! I inlayed some Blood wood and some African Bamboo, we good right Chance?”.
Reference Gunny’s smile, for that was my smile looking at doofus.
Inside, sitting on the couch with a coffee, Doofus, leaves for a moment comes back, “Chance you going to like this”, lays a Styer on the table.
Ahh yes, Austrian , Bulpup design, chambered 5.56x45mm, right about then his wifey say she needs him in the kitchen for something, I pick it up, it’s heavy in the shoulder. I sip the sip thinking, ohh what the hell, I start to dissemble it, removed the butt can continued forward, that’s when I heard, ” what’s he doing” Doofus said, old habits. Reassembled it. Doofus came back in, I handed him the Styer, he put it back, comes back saying
” this more your era huh Chance”.
Reference Gunny’s smile once more
About that machine I called up Rick who is in 6 states away, give or take
Rick, ” ohh hi Chance, how can I help today?”. Rick I got the machine, Rick
I want you think in these terms, I have a Harley sitting in my workshop, I got no key Rick. ” what”, you know the most important of the machine I bought from you, I don’t have that part. BRB he says, ” Chance, I found the rest of your order, Chance, I know only take orders, not pack them, and we don’t ship Saturdays”. Well Ricky, It’ll give a few days to read the manual a couple 3 times.
” We good Chance”
yea we’re good
