Not Glamorous, But Still Sexy

Lifted from The Feral Irishman's "Friday Femme Fatale Farrago..." post from late last night.

 

She reminds me of those girls from high school that most guys wouldn't pay any attention to. But snag yourself one and she was a hidden gem, loyal to a fault, and horny as fuck. I remember guys holding out for a Farrah Fawcett look alike and always being alone. I always had a girlfriend. I actually had my first real girlfriend in 8th grade. The bus ride home was a makeout session every day, even though her older brother liked to rough me up when he caught me in school. She was a cute, freckle-faced, curly haired brunette with blue eyes named Phyllis. We got together because I thought she was funny, I paid attention and was nice to her, and it was she who initiated the "romance." I mean, here I am writing about a girl from 46 years ago that I will never forget. I ended up playing on the same softball team as her brother in the 1990's. Her brother told me she was married and her and her husband owned and ran a successful pizza restaurant. There were many others after Phyllis and before I met my wife and I believe every single one helped make me the man I am today.

 

I would be very interested in comments from both guys and gals on the subject.

Would You? I DEFINITELY WOULD!

I have to word this post very carefully so as not to be perceived as a direct threat against anyone.

However, if presented with the opportunity and the means to send certain individuals worldwide that wish to oppress or reduce the population of freedom loving individuals on a one-way trip to hell... then yes I would. Without hesistation or second thought. And the number of such scum is Y-U-U-U-U-U-G-E!

What keeps these never-to-be-named individuals from meeting their fate at my hands is the fact I live in relative seclusion and have no desire to travel and track them down. And they certainly won't be coming to me.

Nah. As Johnny Ringo said to Doc Holliday in the movie Tombstone, "I was just foolin' about."

Or was I? 🤔

Defense of Marriage Act

Now do national reciprocity with pistol permits.

Yeah, right.

Gas Cans

I had a discussion about Jerry Cans with two brothers that are friends of mine the other day. A guy they know is selling off his "stuff" and has a pile of WWII era cans. I related that I have several modern NATO surplus ones for my generator, and the older brother asked if I wanted to buy any. I declined because of their age, probable condition of the insides, and my spout won't fit. The older version has a screw on cap retained by a chain. Mine have the smaller opening with a lever operated cap and a locking pin. My spout mounts to the opening in place of the cap. These containers are forbidden to be sold in Kommiecticut by state law courtesy of the environazis that prefer safety cans that spill gas all over. Some companies don't give a shit and sell them anyway with a disclaimer about not using them for fuel. HA!

Today I read a couple of blog posts on Commander Zero about gas cans, prompting me to want to buy more for myself. I went to where I bought them from before, Lexington Container out of Kentucky. Not only were they HOLY SHIT! expensive ($79.99 for a 5 gallon can), but every version of their NATO Jerry can was out of stock. Then I saw the link in this post and checked it out. Such a deal! Four brand new cans for $179.95, and my math says just under $45 per can, which is less than what I paid several years ago. They don't play tax collector for Kommiecticut so add only the $23.83 for regular ground shipping and they are supposed to be here by Friday. That will give me 50 gallons of safely stored on hand gasoline down in my barn. All my gas is treated with Sta-Bil 360 and the cans are tagged. All the gas is cycled out and replaced every 6 months or so, and the generator tank is completely emptied and refilled once per year. Gas treated with Sta-Bil 360 can supposedly go two years, but I don't risk it. My generator starts right up and runs smoothly every time. 

As soon as they arrive and I inspect them, and they are as promised, they will get the Glypto Thumbs Up Endorsement. Stay tuned. 

UPDATE 11-30-22: It's official... The Glypto Thumbs Up Endorsement for these cans and roverparts.com. My Jerry Cans arrived this afternoon, but were delivered to Mrs. Bitchy McBitchy Bitchface's my neighbor's house. In a strange twist of personality, she actually brought my large package down and placed it in front of my garage door. I spoke to her over my Blink Outdoor camera. She asked if she should leave it in front of the garage and I told her that would be fine, and that I would be home in a few minutes to retrieve it. I thanked her for doing that and will also send her a hand written "Thank You" card. I then filed a complaint with FEDEX when I got back to the firehouse. The box was completely broken open spilling out the contents and soaking wet from the pouring rain, besides delivering to the wrong address. Luckily, none of the Jerry Cans were damaged. Unfortunately I had to give them one star out of five, because you can't leave a zero on a survey. Out here FEDEX drivers are contractors that do a shitty job with a simple task like delivery, and they drive like fucking maniacs.

UPDATE 12-1-22: Text of the "Thank You" card to my neighbor:

 Neighbor's Name

Thank you so much for bringing my misdelivered package down to
my house. I especially appreciate the extra effort it took in
terrible weather because it was large as well as damaged and
hard to handle. Fortunately the items inside were a little wet
but not damaged.

I slammed FEDEX in a delivery survey for their address screw up
and damaging my package. We'll see if it helps.

My Name

This Is My Personal Preference

I'm cleaning the rest of my guns from Friday's range outing this evening. I cleaned my SR9c right after I got home since at the moment it is my main concealed carry firearm. It seems most folks I know use Hoppe's No. 9, but this is my preference.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since I don't shoot naked lead cast bullets, I don't need a lead solvent. My bores have copper fouling from my plated hand loads or jacketed commercial ammo. The receivers, mags, feed ramps, slides, and cylinders are covered in burnt powder residue. This product does an excellent job tackling both issues for me.
