#10. You can trade an old 44 for a new 22.

 #9. You can keep one handgun at home and have another for when you’re on the road.

 #8. If you admire a friend’s handgun and tell him so, he will probably let you try it out a few times.

 #7. Your primary handgun doesn’t mind if you keep another handgun for a backup.

 #6. Your handgun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.

 #5. A handgun doesn’t take up a lot of closet space.

 #4. Handguns function normally every day of the month.

 #3. A handgun doesn’t ask , “Do these new grips make me look fat?”

 #2. A handgun doesn’t mind if you go to sleep after you use it.

 And the number one reason a handgun is favored over a woman:

 #1. YOU CAN BUY A SILENCER FOR A HANDGUN.

Service

At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word “service.” “The act of doing things for other people.”

Then I heard these terms:

Internal Revenue Service
Postal Service
Telephone Service
Civil Service
City/County Public Service
Customer Service
Service Stations

And I became confused about the word “service.”
This is not what I thought “service” meant.

Then today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one said he had hired a bull to “service” a few of his cows.
BAM!    It all came into perspective.

Now I understand what all those “service” agencies are doing to us.

Thanks Phyllis

We’re back !!!

A cloud inhabited skylift at the Pipestem Resort in Pipestem State Park West Virginia.   You have to take the skylift more than 1600 feet down the mountain to the lodge. (It’s the only way in or out.)

I’ll resume regular posting later today.

Off for some R&R

We’re taking off for some rest and relaxation for the next week.   We’re riding motorcycles to Pipestem West Virginia.  To get to the hotel we’re staying at you have to take an aerial tram (the only way in).

 

Will be back late Thursday (9/29).  Should post on Friday (9/30).   Y’all take care … and be careful out there.

Stuff that makes you go "Ewwww"

 A quart of mucus a day keeps the heebies at bay: The lining of the human sinus normally produces about one quart of mucus every day. This mucus is thin and watery when the nose is healthy. The mucus drains out of the sinuses into the nose and from there runs down the back of the throat. Here it mixes with saliva and is swallowed. People with healthy noses and sinuses do not sense that they are swallowing a quart of nasal drainage every day. 

Why do dogs eat their own poop? Many animals eat poop on a regular basis. These include rabbits, rodents, gorillas, many insects such as dung beetles and flies, and yes, dogs. (Keep that in mind the next time a dog wants to lick you!) Herbivores such as rabbits and rodents eat their own poop because their diet of plants is hard to digest efficiently, and they have to make two passes at it to get everything out of the meal. This is equivalent to a cow chewing its cud, only cows are able to re-eat their food without having to poop it out first. Another reason why animals eat poop is that poop contains vitamins produced by their intestinal bacteria. The animal is unable to absorb the vitamins through the intestinal wall, but can get at them by eating the poop.
