  • Wolf, don’t you come here

    Wolf, don’t you come here

    What does that mean?.

        You will never know whether you are a true shepherd until the wolf comes.  The wolf attacks in many ways: financial difficulties, marital conflicts, strong-willed children, the lure of greener pastures, a partner whose health collapses, a teen who rebels, a mid-life crisis, the heaviness of carrying the load for too long, spiritual dryness, physical erosion, a growing restlessness, or an obsession to be free to focus on your own needs.  The wolf is always lurking near the flock.  He attacks often and usually in packs.  Like all predators, he knows when you and your flock are most vulnerable.  

         Again, you will never know the true measure of your commitment until the wolf comes.  The wolf separates hired hands from true shepherds.  When the wolf comes, the shepherd finds solutions.  The hired hand looks for the best escape route.  The coming of the wolf proves whether or not you really love your spouse, your children, your family, friends, church, neighbors, or country.  So, rejoice in those tough times.  They prove your mettle and sincerity.   True shepherds stay the course, persevere, fight the good fight, and even lay down their lives for those given to their care.

    Now you understand

    The day is all about you, the night belongs to me

    Looking at her smile, he is her champion is all manner of speaking.

    There was no catering back in those days, the women would get together, decide on the food, one thing about women that is a constant, get a group of together, sounds like chicken coop outta control, from an observation standpoint, don’t matter how many are talking at the same time, they all know what is being discussed by everyone at the same time, it’s best just to stay clear of the situation.

    I don’t know how many people were there, more than a boatload that’s for sure

    What did you do to my trout?

    ” We stuffed and baked it, of all the food, your fish is what was taken first”

    Here, remember who you are, her champion in all manner of speaking, and when the weight of the world is on your shoulders, as with all Women, they have a way to straighten your brow, it’s something they have, no explaining it, it just thier way.

  • There’s a saying

    There’s a saying

    Religion is for those who are afraid to go to hell

    Spiritualty is for those who been there

    Thinking it would be a great exercise to conduct concerning human nature, I could sit back and observe the results. I had told the Armydog a week or so ago, I might bring someone over and you have to use your outside voice for he’s a little hard of hearing, Armydog said I’ll have the coffee waiting. When my Marine buddy showed up, I had also told him, I know someone you may like to talk to, but you have speak loud because he cannot hear anything, ” ohh ok”. No hello, hi how you are doing, was none of that,

    ” Another G’damn Marine”

    “What of it” was the reply

    2 grizzlies barking at each other outside

    after about a minute or so, they realized they been had because I couldn’t stop laughing

    I love it when a plan comes together

    It was also an experiment of Brotherhood

    If you find this stuff worthy of your time I’ll share some more

    I had told the Armydog I might share some this table talk, ” clean it up, don’t people sad”

    it’s the reason the clips are short, they been cleaned up as per requested

    While those were having a back and forth I was observing thier wives, Masculinty and all things associated with it was clearly seen in thier faces, you could see they proud of thier Men.

  • A quiet conversation

    A quiet conversation

    First words I heard, ” I see age hasn’t improved your beauty” FU

    handshakes then ohh phuck that

    Manhug

    Sitting in the warm sun, he plops down a bag of ashes, no words for a moment or 2 ok maybe 3, just looking at each other, ” you ready do this”? yeah, but let’s have a coffee first, nothing before coffee and besides, he ain’t going anywhere. Feelings and emotions are part any job, they don’t change the fact, there’s a job to do, failure is not option. It seemed like it was some sort of contest, I’ll explain.

    You know there’s conversation coming, as it always does, question is… when & who starts it. In this instance it was the lady in her 60’s or so walking by who said ” welcome home boys with a smile on her face” and kept walking. So little she said, which said everything that needed to be said, or heard. Talked of a few items about here & there. It’s probably always been that way, when the sting of battle has been felt. The conversation always turns there, no matter what, it’s gonna go there. And of course, it went there, I won’t bore you with that, nothing nice that’s for sure. And again, as with all vets, there’s something in movies that will cause them to smile or laugh or change or the atmosphere in the room, briefly. Hey man, you have a line from film you like? With a smile he says yeah.

    You call that knife?

    THIS is a knife

    laughter with you crazy fuck

    Looks at me, “what’s yours”

    Man, we’re not even supposed to be here, we’ll go with you

    but on the boat

    with the coffee gone, ready…. yeah…

    I like Ritchie, the jovi not so much

    some music for some words

    I am not the wolf, nor am I the sheep.

    I am both and yet I am neither.

    I am hated by the sheep, for I do not look nor think like them.

    I am hated by the wolf, because I know how and why they think like they do.

    I am out cast from the sheep, and I hate and love that at the same time.

    I am thankful I am outcast from the wolf, the source for evil.

    I have always watched over the flock of sheep, it is in my DNA.

    I have always resisted the wolf, again, It is in my DNA.

    I have both of their strengths, and neither’s weaknesses.

    The sheep are afraid, weak, forever dependent on those stronger than they are.

    This dependency allows them to be conquered and dominated, easily.

    The wolf is a coward outside of his pack, he is weak when he is alone.

    The wolf preys upon the weak and defenseless. He conquers and dominates, easily.

    I am not afraid. I am strong, and never depend upon anyone, for anything, outside my family.

    This absence of dependency keeps me from being conquered and dominated.

    I need no pack. I am alone strong.

    But in all this strength, I never conquer or dominate the sheep. Only the wolf do I dominate and conquer.

    The wolf fear me. And rightly so, I take no prisoner. I expect and give no quarter.

    And in all this, I still watch over the sheep. Watching for the wolf.

    And in all this, I still watch over the sheep. Watching for the wolf.

    Hated, until the coming of the wolf.

    I accept this fate. It is in my DNA. It is that I am, not who I am, that makes me what I am.

    I also accept that as a fact, it is not a question of if I die. No not at all. And gladly.

    It begs more questions than that.

    How many go before me? The honorable manner of my passing?

    Have I remained true to what I know?

    I am the Sheepdog

    It’s all fun and games, until you get off the boat…

    Eh gopher, do those 2 look like garland and wray to you

    After 2000 years, give or take a couple, you’d think stuff would change

    only noticeable changes are faces & technology, everything else falls under SSDD.

    Bob Segar did a song called Katmandu, we’ll get back to that in a moment.

    2000 years later…

    A dog belonging to a gay French couple has contracted monkeypox after sharing their bed — the first confirmed case of human-to-pet infection, according to reports.

    The Parisian men, ages 44 and 27, are believed to have contracted the virus after having sexual contact with other guys during their non-monogamous relationship.

    The couple said they then noticed that their Italian greyhound had developed pustules on its stomach.

    The Lancet medical journal said the dog shared a bed with the two men and perhaps licked one or both of them before licking itself.

    Both men have suffered from extensive ulcers and rashes since confirming their cases in June.

    The dog began showing signs of infection 12 days later. The World Health Organization has called the recent monkeypox outbreak a growing and global emergency.

    Almost 100 countries have now reported cases of the virus so far this year, including a dozen fatalities.

    The vast majority of infections stem from gay sex, officials said.

    Ever wonder why Segar sang about Katmandu?

    It’s the only place on this spinning mudball in space which is technically the largest outdoor shooting range known to humankind, Chicago comes in a 2nd, and as we all know, 2nd sucks….

  • So there I was in her garden

    So there I was in her garden

    Yes yes yes, I was granted permission, not everyone or everything is so lucky

    see what I mean

    who goes out to the garden, armed… well she does

    Someone down South taught her well on how to plant a garden

    Wildlife will get theirs, friends & neighbors will also, so what you have let, is really all you needed in the first place. She carrys as to limit the wildlife’s fair share :).

    beautiful garden

    She grows my Carolina reapers and other hot peppers, (nothing free, it’s a barter thing). Strange thing, as we were walking, I was thinking, if the palieos would just lay down their arms, there would be peace, if Israel laid down theirs, there would be no Israel.

    Odd thing to come to mind while walking through the garden. See the fence line, Concord grapes all around

    With Israel and the palieos still fresh in the mind, while looking the grapes, inserts a footnote here, you that thing in your head that says you shouldn’t say that, well I don’t have that part anymore, it was cut or what was left of it. And I don’t miss it one iota. I started to recite King Solomon, as in

    the Song of Solomon

    How beautiful and pleasant you are,
        O loved one, with all your delights
     Your stature is like a palm tree,
        and your breasts are like its clusters.
     I say I will climb the palm tree
        and lay hold of its fruit.
    Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
        and the scent of your breath like apples,
    and your mouth like the best wine

    Was about then I heard slide on the pellet rifle along with

    ” Chance, what did you just say, you getting fresh with me?”.

    What?

    Having no clue what got her riled up, not being my woman I figured it was best to ask

    still or again while she’s armed.

    Seeing words, if that’s a fault, I’ll take it

    It’s Sunday, some Sunday sort of music is needed

  • Dave? dave ain’t here

    Dave? dave ain’t here

    No man, I’m Dave, Dave? yeah man it’s me dave let me in

    Dave ain’t here

    First time I played Cheech & Chong was reel to reel, when you can your mother belly laughing to point of ” turn it off or I’ll pee myself”, you know you done real good.

    She fully enjoyed that whole album, many times over.

    That was back in 71, a lifetime ago.

    Yesterday, I heard it again ” turn it off or I’ll pee myself” She was kinda sorta and somewhat not having a good day, talking about her purpose

    translation: stinking thinking told her, I don’t know His plans, I do know this, “what” in her matter of tone He hasn’t heard you laugh in terribly long time, laugh like He knows you can, He’s busy at the moment, so He sent me. Told her, there some some swearing in this so be ready for that, ” you swear all the time, you cannot stop swearing when you talk about shipping

    well yeah that’s true to, I brought up the Ozzy Man, tole her, this young fella has raised 3/4 of a million dollars to fight cancer, sells tee shirts saying ” fuckcancer” side note of interest, for her birthday one year I gave her a teeshirt saying Pizzaslut, she wore it until some asshole pointed out the words in the logo. That was the end of that tee shirt.

    Let’s talk about this Integrity you speak of WRAY
    fuck off Christopher

  • There’s a song for that

    There’s a song for that

    As a young fella, I’d drop something, bend and pick it up straight away, the 5 second rule stills applies. This morning I dropped something (not food), caught myself thinking as I was looking at it,

    do I really need that in my life? Cutting 12 full cord of wood tends to get you thinking in such terms, the days are getting shorter, signs of Fall can be seen here & there in the trees. As I type I’m wondering if 12 cord will be enough. Sugar is a hot item right now, lots of canning taking place, good thing I like my coffee flat black.

    40 below, they consider unreasonable cold only because they haven’t felt 60 below with the windchill off the lake

    The Farmer’s Almanac is normally in the 80% range of right

    In today’s world, one needs the proper Attitude about stuff

    the soon to be a Centurian, in her matter of fact tone said ” that’s right” after hearing John Harford

    I don’t need a jym membership, I have a woodpile that needs tending to

    yes yes yes, I picked up the bastard file, for those who never sharpened a chain on a saw, use this and get the angle right ffs

  • Prove me wrong

    Prove me wrong

    One day Man was outside cooking meat over his fire, the scent on the wind caught Wolf’s attention, wolf went to investigate, from the thicket at a safe distance, wolf watched intently. Out of the corner of Man’s eye, he spotted wolf, watching. After some tense moments, man reached for some meat, lay it upon a rock saying, Wolf, I’ll make a deal you, you can eat from my table, you have shelter from the weather in my cave, and for your part wolf, you keep an eye on my family. Wolf knew this was a good deal.

    Dogs remember the deal

    God

    ” Chance”

    God, this burden, it’s heavy

    ” it’s heavy you say, well Chance, I’ll you what, see that door over there, you go in there and set your burden down and pick out any one you prefer. ”

    Ok I’ll do that In I went, set my burden down

    I seen tall crosses, short crosses, fat and skinny crosses, some had jewels, some were plain, there were crosses of metal and wood and stone. About an hour later, I yelled out FOUND IT! ” Well ok then, Chance, you go with your burden and be happy. Off I went

    God was smiling, for it’s the same burden I went in with

    Blue sky, calm lake, green around with trouble on the horizon

    Attitude is everything

    Motivation for the weak & timid

    This is America mf, this is where ANYONE can do anything with enough grit & determination to go in life as they see fit, this is the land where the People do not speak ” by your leave sir” Americans, we can outwork, out produce anyone in this world at any time and play just as hard. While reading a paper on who would have the advantage if Rev 2.0 came to be, (I should post that paper sometime), now is not the time, AC/DC was playing, reading some of the comments :

  • Hannibal of Carthage

    Hannibal of Carthage

    A life built on Revenge

    The Punic wars, some interesting reading. Must have been the music I’m hearing as I was doin the fooking dishes. I don’t really complain about dirty dishes, dirty dishes are sure sign I got to eat. this batch of dishes just rubbed me the wrong way, washing dishes at 6:15 am could be the reason, or it’s Monday. Cold, rainy, 47 degrees and let’s not forget the fog that rolled in. If they are successful in bringing down America, does make one wonder how many out there, will have nothing but revenge in their hearts, their entire lives dedicated to fine those responsible for taking what wasn’t theirs to take.

    Odyssues said it rather well

    Wait, wait! What is our crime? We treated your wife as a queen. We lived off you’re land, that can be replaced. We did not kill anybody.

    “Your crime is that you tried to steal my world. The world I built with my hands, and my sweat and my blood. The world that I shared with a woman who bore me my son, and no one will ever take that from me. Now you will die to a man in a river of blood.”

    Music while you wash dishes with Chesty Puller in mind

    ” good night Chesty, wherever you are”

    The wild hunt is good to
