  • Are we having fun yet

    Are we having fun yet

    Some david hoggboi lingo in use, ” there I was” minding my damn business while in town when I heard ” Salt!… Salt” I turn around, there’s BOZO with a grin across his face. Normal greetings for Marines, handshakes and cussing. What ya been up to BOZO? ” well I quit my job, decided to go into business for myself, plus I’ll be starting school at the end of month. You know Blubberguts?’. yea I know blubberguts, he’s good people what of him”. Said he’d work the front desk, while I’m the back working. It’s then he pulls out his m18, the new USMC sidearm, BOZO, you just cannot leave shit alone can you, noticing the new threaded barrel. ” you know me salt, I like customizing”.Big BOZO smile. Commences to tell me, he’s waiting for LLC through the state for the federal firearms license. So BOZO, what you doing while in hurry up & wait mode?. ” Follow me to my house, i’ll show you”. was about 7 miles out of my way over that way. Greeted by his ROTTY, Chesty, not seen Chesty since like late last summer, he was all kinds of happy. Go into his garage

    Not getting rich Salt, but I am having fun building chicken coops

    “Says they been selling pretty good, the wifey is happy about money but she’s always making mention I’m in the garage”. Bozo, women are like that, and how she doing?, ” she’s fine, no wait, she’s more than fine, she’s dangerous”. The best kind Bozo. ” He inquired about the Armydog asking how’s he doing, Bozo they unplugged his penis. ” What! don’t tell me, I don’t want to know”. Good, cause I don’t want to talk about it. “Come on over here, I’ll show you something that was the wifey’s idea. Making coffee tables Salt”.

    nice touch the EGA

    Been making these to, shows me the doggo dishes

    Bozo, I have to go, let me know when your shop opens, I’ll stop by, shook hands off I went. Just because the country is fucked-up, don’t mean the fun has to stop.

    This isn’t Bozo, just reminds me of BOZO

  • Paperwork on my desk

    Paperwork on my desk

    I know where everythingis ,don’t be messing around my desk, if you need something ASK, “what’s that date circled on the calendar?”. dumb question, good thing I’m a nice guy

    it’s/ was 0311 day, as in Happy Grunt day Marines.

    ” what’s this?”.

    It’s a powerful picture, that’s what it is

    So many file folders on the desk, where to start, Major BAMBI, get in here!

    This is Donnie Dunagan in 1974, during his time in the Marine Corps. The voice of Bambi

    Bambi, tell me what you of you Ukraine

    Bambi, Did she just say that Canada has been training Ukrainian soldiers since 2015⁉️

    yes Chance, she sure did

    Well Bambi, I guess this Ukraine stuff has been planned for a LONG time. Putin was RIGHT. he was RIGHT about the bio labs in ukraine too. Bambi, as you know I’m no putin fan, “yes chance”.

    What else you have Bambi?

    Well there is this with attached picture

    Hold on Bambi, I gotta take this call

    Young buck, you are on speakerphone. go ahead

    “yes I did”

    me to Bambi, me to

  • Butch & Sundance just having some fun

    Butch & Sundance just having some fun

    When Sundance asked Butch, what ya doin?

    ” I’m stealing your Woman”

    Sundance waves his hand, you do that, I’m going back to bed.

    I ran into a similar situation not long ago.

    Back a few days

    Ma, I’m barrowing the roaster oven, ” you do that and keep it I have another”. I knew she did, I should have taken the 22 quart, instead I took the 8 quart… mistake number 1. Instead of smoking meat at 6 hours, sometimes longer because the snowbanks and smoker temp and outside air temp plus wind, it’s a delicate balancing thingy, giving the meat a hot bath finishes the meat in much less time.

    Mistake 2, being in a hurry, never be in a hurry when smoking meats or hot bathing.

    Making homemade smoked Bologna, it’s easy for her to digest and she’s not always wanting full meals, finger foods/comfort foods are handy dandy items.

    So far, so good

    2hours in the smoker, transferred to roaster oven,what the hell is this

    was set at 200 instead of 175

    Throughly done all the way through, just looked like garbage

    175 for an hour plus, now that’s more like it.

    Odin the dog won’t have any problem eating my garbage, he likes my garbage. My garbage tastes just as good as the good stuff, it’s the presentation that’s the problem.

    I know some at the trading post who also likes my garbage,

    file them under garbage guts.

    Gonna change up some names here, there a Marine I’ve known for a good 35 years, loves to fish, him an his wifey was in there, Etta, I want you try this, ” what is it”, smoked bologna, I’m telling ya right now Etta, you put my meat in your mouth, you are going to forget all what’s his face Oscar Meyer, she chewing, big smile with added mmmmm.

    It’s then she says ” I think I will divorce one Marine and marry another, looking right at Sundance, he was looking at fishing stuff, looks at her, says, ” waves his hand, fine, you do that I’m going fishing,

    looks back at the fishing gear.

  • Been told, don’t let yesterday take up to much of today.

    Been told, don’t let yesterday take up to much of today.

    Another way of seeing things is

    getting angry, what were you going to do before you got angry, people shouldn’t worry about me getting angry, it’s a such a short period of time, because I’m all ready heading back to what I was going to do, before I got angry, going Blood Drunk is far different than getting angry. Some years ago I was sitting outside with dad’s Calumet, his pipe, thinking of his words, mother came out, ” you remind me so much of him”. If she said more I didn’t hear it, lost in thought.

    Once a COMMIEPINKOBITCH, always a COMMIEPINKOBITCH

    ain’t that right Jane

    In order for communism to work, people must die, ain’t that right Jane

    For someone who liked to drink, who’s administration was basically a CF at best

    I find no fault with his words

    Jane, you COMMIEPINKOBITCH, may you bleed-out through your ears

    Toldja, there is a difference between getting angry and being BLOOD DRUNK

    and another thing

  • the Stache

    the Stache

    By now everyone should know what I do during the day, everyday is a new adventure, friend of mine stopped over at mothers, they were front room, while I was slaving over a hot oven while thinking, she cannot complain about my meatloaf because it’s her recipe, deep in thought is when I heard her ” what the hell is wrong with you, it’s 2023!’. He came in the kitchen for safety reasons probably. He was by fridge. Frederators are like bulletin boards for homes. He was reading this:

    He stuck around for another few minutes then off he went, what he was reading was a poem.

    Inspired by a Norse Legend

    By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
    Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
    Where the friends of man and woman do run,
    When their time on earth is over and done.

    For here, between this world and the next,
    Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
    On this golden land, they wait and they play,
    Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

    No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
    For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
    Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
    Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

    They romp through the grass, without even a care,
    Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
    All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
    Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

    For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
    Together again, both person and pet.
    So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
    The time of their parting is over at last.

    The sadness they felt while they were apart,
    Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
    They embrace with a love that will last forever,
    And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

    As long I’ve known her, which is like all my life, she should be viewed upon as a romantic by heart. Speaking of hearts, 20 some years ago, she told the doctor, “if my heart is as bad as you say, then save the Nitro for someone who could really use it, she outlived the doctor”. Thinking what dad liked about her, whatever he gave her, she dished it right back at him,

    I still don’t know where she met him, she won’t talk about it, all I could get out of her was, grampa her side made the best beer, sneak out in the woods an drink with some friends, that’s she’d say. I see can dad, a child of the forest walking upon a drunk maiden and yelling, I found one, I’m keeping her!.

    Now you may see these in the light of OMG, and WTF! That’s only because you ain’t seeing things as I see things

    Keep in mind, she was young once to, I had the siblings to prove it! In basement getting stuff out of my way, what the hell is this? Some you seen the 17 grocery bags I hauled out, full of Harlequin romance books, found 2 boxes, angel soft boxes full Harlequin, some had, good, boring, Ohh very good! written on the inside cover. Got back upstairs, I asked her, what of dad you miss the most? sips her teacup with coffee… ” his socks”

    what?

    “He’d put everything away in it’s proper except his socks, used to irritate me to no end”. Did you ever think he just liking seeing you bent over?

    ” ohh hush”

    She don’t need the Nitro, she got me 🙂

  • Journal entry 3/9/23

    Journal entry 3/9/23

    Ever rethink a position, I’ll explain,

    Don’t you highly dislike things rubbed in your face, I do, except boobs, boobs are ok, printed this on high gloss paper, inserted in journal

    when I seen this, it’s then I started to rethink my positon

    Looking at the Chernobyl lady, a thought came to mind, sips coffee, if I was a plastic surgeon, I’d put a squeak toy in each breast implant, no charge because I’m nice like that.

    Phone rang

    “what”

    I need to you to make something for me

    “you’re in another state man, don’t they make stuff in your state?”.

    It’s not for me, another Marine,

    “what ya needin brother”

    thinking a cutting board would be good, I got some bamboo ones in the corner there, not crazy how it lasers, “, that’ll be fine.

    Every Marine needs stickers, no charge for the sticker ” you saying this a gift?”

    yeah

    “well then there’s no charge for the board either, you owe me coffee next time we see each other”.

    I like this guy, reminds me of people I know

    People will provoke you until they bring out the ugly side of you

    then play victim when you go there

    by then it’s to late

  • Thing about those Spartans

    Thing about those Spartans

    I was going to talk about how the Marine Corps is cutting corners to save a few bucks by dropping sniper school, those weapons are specialized platforms, only thing I have say about that is, cutting corners to save a few bucks isn’t the only things they’ll be doing,

    they’ll also be filling body bags

    if you get meaning

    “Spartans did not ask how many were the enemy

    but where are they”

    Plutarch

    Reading about them PANTIFA= cockroaches for short, down there in Georgia attacking Cop city, was thinking, don’t Georgia have rednecks, I know they have peaches in pretty dresses down there.

    Little feet sang about such ladies

    reference Dixie Chicken 🙂

    It’s humpday, maybe it should be renamed, LUMP day 🙂

  • The Arizona has died

    The Arizona has died

    Jack Holder, last survivor of the December 7th attack on the U.S.S. Arizona

    Grandfather, whose voice I hear in the winds
    And whose breath gives life to everyone,
    Hear me.
    I come to you as one of your many children;
    I am weak… I am small…I need your wisdom
    and your strength

    Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever
    behold the red and purple sunsets.
    Make my hands respect the things you have made,
    and make my ears sharp so I may hear your voice.
    Make me wise, so that I may understand what you
    have taught my people and
    The lessons you have hidden in each leaf and each rock.
    I ask for wisdom and strength,
    Not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able
    to fight my greatest enemy, myself.
    Make me ever ready to come before you with
    clean hands and a straight eye,
    So as life fades away as a fading sunset,
    My spirit may come to you without shame.

    Rest easy Sailor Man

    you now walk among the best company

  • Pete is no spring chicken himself

    Pete is no spring chicken himself

    This is more of a story than a posting. First we need to explain Pete.

    Pete is not Asian, he’s full-blooded Italian. People think of the railroads, they tend to think of Asian folks doing all the work. Back in the 80’s I told a lil brother, listen up, dad always wanted his best friend to be happy and he made sure she was, dad is gone, he wouldn’t want her sitting in house staring at walls, he had hard time about mother going out and dancing, she’d loved to dance.

    Some years went by an she finally decided to get the hell out of the house and live again. After some dances at different places, she ran into Pete.

    She set the terms, I will be marrying no one, dance and company of course, no marriage. Pete was ok with that, he just didn’t understand what he was getting himself into. Pete is like maybe 5’8/5’9 and barrel chested. Was a program on the teevee called Finland Calling, ole Carl would hold dances allover UP here, Pete would drive her to the dances, calls me up, “

    that G’damn PETE, suppose to dancing, couldn’t find him anywhere, went outside behind the building, there he was with 5/6 other fellas listening to the G’damn football game, drinking, smoking cigarettes.” When she was done, not just Pete, but all of them was feeling 2 cents waiting on change.

    She was spitting fire mad.

    Pete started laying railroad ties when he was 14 years old. help put on the table, his dad died in a mining accident. Pete isn’t doing so well these days, still calls her up, checking in on her so that’s good. Pete is a good guy. When you hear her mention Pete, now you know Pete, keep else something in mind.

    In this corner!!!!!

    we have Doc Jilly with her PEDOhubby who showers with his daughter. and with a crackhead son who is the smartest man he’s ever known

    And

    in the other corner we have mom

    Let the cognitive testing begin…

    Meanwhile in Seattle

    Pete could make some excellent spaghetti with meatballs

  • I don’t own roller-skates, am sure it’s a small matter

    I don’t own roller-skates, am sure it’s a small matter

    Looking at the lake, slight breeze with stuff to do, I have this thought I cannot shake off. When I find myself face to face with God and having to explain myself, I do wonder if He’ll hand me rollarsaktes and point to Purgatory, you know, it’s where one goes while God decides what He’s got in store for you.

    Case in point, saying something like

    God, this is all on you, is probably something that shouldn’t be said. Well, He knows me well enough by now. ” God, Women know this, and fellas know this, they just leave it to me to say it, boobs are magic,

    there, I said it

    Toldja, not my fault God”. I can already hear you people talking in hush tones, ” better him then me!”.

    Looking for the ladies always, some useful stuff to keep in mind

    Commercial break:

    Ohh look, more people jumping out of perfectly good aero planes

    You see stuff as that, Keep Jack in mind, When Jack finally wore out the Marine Corps, he decided to cure his fear of heights by joining the Army

    As his Jumpmaster said” Jack was the last out, the first to hit the ground, his main chute didn’t deploy, his reserve also failed. Jack picked himself up off the ground, well, that wasn’t so bad.

    Classic example of youth vs experience:

    With stuff to do, Keep smiling people, for it may be your last opportunity

    Brand new rollarskates, that was stupid dumb song
