Gunner and my 16X40 Victor lathe

If you could spell, it may have made your juvenile message coherent.

LOL!

Yep, theat's about the way it works.

Soon as you swat one, three more appear!

And which word did I fail to spell correctly?

-- "Additionally as a security officer, I carry a gun to protect government officials but my life isn't worth protecting at home in their eyes." Dick Anthony Heller

Cliff,

Are you changing id's?

Roger gave me one for my Canada trips, WAY COOL!!! Works great on snoring fishermen too!

Many thanks Stuart for the kind words. My respects to you and your lovely wife.

Btw..most guys here would simply die for your shop.

How many of them have (2) helicopters in their shop?

Btw..fascinating the flaming that started up and then thread drifted so rapidly.

Now Im going to have to take a double slug of Geritol and oil the wheels on my walker......

Btw...Opie slept nearly all the way home. Spook tired him out right properly. He was a little miffed the first few miles, I think he liked it out there and really didnt want to leave.

Btw..you pick things up pretty well for such a young fella.

WHADYAMEAN bad jokes? I show my idiocy cutting metal...like the most of us!

I just got a new toy today, a 4" swivel vise! So cool! But now I see on eBay a swivel attachment that's supposed to fit my Kirt 6" but I can't see ho it attaches, there seems to be more involved. I'll have to ask those who know.

And if you wanna know how to MIG-weld the spare tire mount to a trailer ....

That was such a good story!

That's good!

Summer is coming. For fun, sport, revenge and vindication against skeeters and flies, particularly biting flies as black flies and deer flies, I heartily recommend ... the Racquet Zapper.

Translation...Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill

Gunner the Ancient

Not on. Wouldn't happen. Not nearly worth the bother. The brash impudence of adolescents (or cases of arrested development) is no match for the cunning and discipline of experience. Experience engages only when there's a reason to do so, and then concludes the interaction quickly, quietly and with little effort.

Hey, I know thinking is difficult for the right wingers - (thats why you subscribe to a political philosophy where someone else does it for you, and every issue can be reduced to no more than a few words) but as a card carrying lefty antigun tree hugger proud to be union save the dolphins land rights for gay whales person....

Gunner is fine - I would love to have him close enough to be able to visit, argue with him, learn from him - I disagree with his politics, as he does with me - but thats ok - I think its called Democracy - its got nothing to do with his qualities as a person, he has proved often enough he has a good heart....

You want a bad joke?

How many Marines does it take to change a lightbulb?

(Scroll down.)

(D.I. mode on)

LIGHT BULB!!! WHAT ARE YOU, SOME KIND OF MOMMA'S BOY???

NO!!! YOU ARE A MARINE!!! YOU DON'T NEED NO LIGHTBULB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

(D.I. mode off)

This was written for all the Marines I know, who tell bad jokes about the other branches. ;-)

Enjoy your new toy, Tom. I'm still looking for a small lathe to turn pieces of 1/8" brass pipe for an electronics project.

Just as a side note, I was never a "gunnery sargent"

Its just a nickname given to me a very long time ago.

Thanks for the kind words btw.

Hug!

Gunner

So your money wouldn't be on the one posing for Soldier of Fortune ads? The one extolling the virtues and manliness of carrying? The one forever expanding on firepower and extermination of all but righteous right?

LOL. Empty vessels etc.

That bloody Libby and his big mouth! He was told not to tell anyone I was well retired. Now I miss out on a stoush with "young" Gunner.

Why don't you guys go read instead of feeding the trolls here, hmm? The former is constructive, the latter destructive.

According to Scientific American

"In 2003 nearly half of all Americans falsely assumed that the U.S. government had found solid evidence for a link between Iraq and al Qaeda.

Almost a quarter of Americans believed that investigators had all but confirmed the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."

In short between one-quarter to one-half of Americans are misinformed as is obvious from your comments.
