Greetings and Salutations!
Maaaaaaaaan kindness and generosity… two really important words <\/strong>in life… Thanks to the unbelievable generosity of one Reader, J3 (as literally ALL of his initials all start with the letter ‘J’) I got a new set of wheels!
Meet the new Boat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’s the ’03 Navigator.

Needless to say, I fit juuuust<\/em> fine in that big ole sucker.

Like me, the paint’s a bit faded, it has it’s quirks (like I need to fix the window on the driver’s side… the motor needs replacing) but also like myself, it’s got a stronk ‘heart’ if you will. Also like me, it just needs some TLC and clean up.

I call it the Boat as OMFG after driving around in that itty-bitty Hyundai with the 4 cylinder hamster under the hood? This 6.0 V-8 scared the Hell out of me when I went for a drive earlier. I stepped on the gas and Hoo-Boy!!! It’s got a whoooooole lotta ‘git up and go!’ which it’s been a looong minute since I had that sort of horsepower hauling my ass around. J3 was also kind enough to come here w\/his gracious wife, who spent the majority of the time having the Sausage Princess lay her head in her (the wifes that is) lap, and making besties out of her.

“Never stop petting the dog” is a rule around here… once you pet Stella once<\/strong> you’d better pack a lunch ‘cos she’s NOT going to leave you alone. I got to show off the ‘Museum of Mayhem’, and give him a few things as a thank-you…

We had a nice lunch (again thanks Bro!) and then they had to bail as they had a passel of their kids still at home, with the 17 year old in charge… I remember those days too.

So…
Last night was fun.
I reeee-laxed.
Killed a lot of virtual bad guys who needed killing…

Again, another<\/strong> glorious weekend!
NO DRAMA or Bullshit to be seen!
A man could get used to this…

I haven’t been paying too much attention to the news, outside of the “Credible Threat” shit that came out on Thursday Night. I got a call from a bro at McDill at about 21:00 on Thursday, and last night I got a copy of the alert regarding the “Haj Threat to retired DotMil Kids here in Florida”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And yeah, it’s a legit warning…
I’m of two thoughts on this

ONE is it’s legit… odds on that are about 30 for \/ 70 against

TWO is that it’s a potential False Flag… odds on that? 80 for \/ 20 against.

I’m going with Door Number Two Monty.

My rationale for that?

First, it’s been what? Like almost 10 years or more for the whole “Iraq” side of things for the most part. I figure they’d have come after people a LOT sooner. Why now? Not only that, they’d be better off going after active duty guys truth be told. Active duty guys for the most part are NOT allowed (unless married and living off post) to have easy access to personal weapons. Softer targets if you will, whereas Ye Olde Retired Guys? We, for the most part, we’re armed to the fucking teeth<\/strong> and thirst to legally <\/strong>kill some bad guys again.

Secondly, going after the guys who’re retired? The only thing that does IF a bunch of older-ish retired Vets get clapped is create outrage and headlines\/lies<\/strong> to push whatever agenda and\/or war they want us in next… that and by eliminating the retired SF guys? Well retired SF guys are the ones who the DotGov fears the most<\/strong>. THAT is why there are watchlists and ‘gangstalking’… SF are force multipliers.<\/strong> Trainers. By designation. To train<\/strong> people to form anti-DotGov cadres to assist in overthrowing whatever ‘enemy of the week’ that’s in vogue. So wasting a few would be a net-plus for the current situation(s) we see going on out there.

Either way for the foreseeable future, I’ll be rolling heavy-er than normal. Guess keeping those additional mags for the Grok already was a wise decision… Even walking the doggos now in the yard, I’m rolling with a weapon.

So again, my thanks to ALL of you who’ve been here for the trials and tribulations, and especially a HUGE thanks to J3 for the HUGE assist in providing me a set of wheels. It’s going to make a WORLD of difference now.

As well as Thanks to -Whoever- is “In Charge” out there in the Universe… I needed<\/strong> a win like this.

So More Later
