    Listening to the local rock station when Pink Floyd’s Money comes on. Apparently the part where David Gilmour says “BS” is no longer censored :dex:

    Yeah but unlike some states to the south-southwest of us, the privilege of pumping our own gas has been bestowed upon us :rofl: :lol:

    Wood burns faster when you have to cut and chop it yourself.

    2 years ago the eco chamber's favorite 2-word catchphrase was "Draconian Measures". Now their new pet is "Saber Rattling".

    I was out on the back deck picking up wood to bring inside. All of a sudden, off in the distance I hear a noise I shouldn’t be hearing. It takes me a second to process it and then I’m almost in panic mode. OMFG that’s a large caliber belt fed weapon going off. In my mind’s eye I can see a helicopter just about cresting over the hilltop, gun barrel glowing red hot in the night sky. All of a sudden I hear the guy a couple houses down cough. Turns out all I was hearing was the sound of him bringing his empty trash can in from the street. Time to stop watching all this Ukraine conflict footage :picard:

    Well I almost thought about hoisting my flak gun to the roof and putting a few holes into the fuselage of the imaginary helicopter, but alas I couldn’t find my stash of imaginary 20mm tracer rounds either ;)

    This was a fun place to check out with my kids a few years ago. The Nautilus museum next to the submarine base in Groton Connecticut. Submarine capital of the world :yes:
    I’m pretty sure WeldrDave has stood here at one point in time.

    My wife has been gone for 2 weeks, on a girls trip to Florida, and will be home tomorrow night. I'm sitting here, drinking a beer, listening to music, being mellow and happy, then I start looking around and realize a "bachelor" has been living here. :bug: That was my OMG moment, this place needs to be cleaned, before my wife gets home tomorrow night!

    Great pics, they definitely look like they're in training. The John Belushi film 1941 comes to mind! :rofl: :lol:
