Whither Gunner?

I got an email from him a few days ago.

His ex was coming in with kids, grandkids, cats, dogs, and squeeky brakes.

And he had to go down to So. Cal for a few days.

He's busy and seldom answers during the week. He'll likely pop up tomorrow or Sunday with 100 replies.

I saw a post on a.m.c. made on 4/15.

Got home at 3am this morning after 2 weeks in LA, helping to shut down factories .....sigh.

Closed up my RV,,rented it out to a retired gal actually.

Its getting really really grim here in California. Its the first state typically into the toilet...with 11% unemployment (and soon to be more)

You boys out East...your turn is next.

Im setting up my home shop to do the small stuff the 1 surviving machine shop cant do, plus gun smithing etc.

We are gonnna be in for a VERY rough ride.

"Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimum food or water,in austere conditions, day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon. He doesn't worry about what workout to do--- his rucksack weighs what it weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him. The True Believer doesn't care 'how hard it is'; he knows he either wins or he dies. He doesn't go home at 1700; he is home. He knows only the 'Cause.' Now, who wants to quit?"

Welcome back. As for the economy, it's going to be a LONG time before things get back to where they were (if ever), but there at least seem to be signs of life here & there. I passed two stores yesterday that were hiring. Hardly great jobs, but there's some work out there.

More "California advertising", eh, gummer? Try 8 days, which included some travel time.

15th PM to 23rd PM. Even if you were working (which I don't believe), it would have been barely a week. Although I'm sure it would have seemed longer to someone so out of practice.

Before the election you said it was peachy. How did it get so bad in so few months?

Speak for yourself. While you were sitting on your ass wasting your life on Usenet embellishing a phony persona and getting hopelessly into debt

some of us worked toward self-sufficiency.
