Well! Harrrumpffff!
The glaciers around Castle Limegreene are slowly giving way up here. We’re finally getting spring weather. There still are going to be some cold, shitty days… but winter has pretty much had the bun. The babies will start showing up now any day - and there’ll be nests, goslings and ducklings in all the parks. Life returns, by God Almighty - it’s all good! The winters get more bitter and longer, the older I get.
But the other day, my dawg gladiators got their first kill. A baby weasel or ermine was loose in my back yard and the Niglet accidentally-on-purpose stomped it… and little Ferg moved in and finished it off! I dunno what it was… it was about twice or thrice the size of a field mouse. After the li’l beaner killed it… he ran around parading the dead body and wouldn’t give it up to his mom or the Niglet. He got downright pissy when mom finally got it away from him and threw it in the garbage. Ferg wanted to bring it in the house and eat it, HAR HAR HAR! HAR HAR HAR!!!
I can’t wait to sic him on Cederq or Don or one of the other senior delinquents: he’ll run up their pant leg at the speed of light, chomp their balls and then go for the jugular when they double over!!! HAR HAR HAR! They will be killed and eaten too!
😂👍
So… in other news… I am already in trouble with my beloved Ruger No.1 single shot. Awhile back I lost the lever latch screw and the spring. And gawddammitall to hell… the local smiths are not wanting anything to do with it!🤬 Ruger’s parts and warranty outfit in Canada is in Queerbec. I’ve got inquiries in with them now but if things go the way I suspect… getting any customer service out of them will be an iffy proposition at best. I also have inquiries in with Ruger themselves… but getting parts over the border can be a bear too. I am not hopeful. All I need is a two bit tiny machine screw and the tiny leaf spring and that’s it! The fuggin parts’ll fit in an envelope! If I don’t miss my guess… this thing is going to turn into a goat rodeo…But even if it does… I have options. I’ll take the .223 Tupperware rifle out after deer this year if I have to. I also have my BPCR rifles.
I have other life or death issues on my plate too. My tobacco seeds went into the dirt on Monday and I’m not seeing any sprouts yet. My seeds are two or three years old so who knows? They might not be any good…? It appears my new pipe off Fleabay is about a week out too… and I don’t know what to expect from that. I am looking for a short stubby pipe of the type favoured by guys like MacArthur or Chesty Puller… just a regular pipe with a short stem that’ll fit nicely in a shirt pocket. But down at the tobacco shop they have these mini-pipes and they look like a regular pipe but they’re super tiny which makes me think they’re pot pipes…? I definitely DON’T want that but it’s hard to tell exactly what yer gonna get from just a picture. I will be hacked right off if I get a pot pipe! If I get a fuggin pot pipe, I’ll go over to Poli’s and get some grass clippings, poplar and tomato plant leaves and some ofmom’s flower plant petals..and grind the mess up and make what the black powder geeks call “kinnikinnick”…
😂🤢😂🤮
I have so many little-big chores that are pressing down on me as well: I need to make a tobacco/pipe roll, some leather scope covers, I gotta see if my insulated rubber boots are still in my plunder down in the Reclusium, I gotta mend my leather suspenders, I gotta get my diesel heater plumbed into the Dawgmobile camper, etc etc ad nauseum. I also want to get out to my hunting camp and see how things went over the winter and just poke around and see what the game situation is. But that is the life of the compleat stubfart: high pressure, deadlines and stress!
😂👍
And I effin LOVE it!
Soooo… Artemis, eh? I was a wee little tot when the Apollo moon shots were going on and I had a hoot. Us kids were all going to be astronauts. We’d have jet packs and live on the moon. The adults told us so. As an old goat, watching these things is different. I just worried. Artemis 2 had the new re-entry heat shield and I worried about that. Then I watched the endless circling of the boats and choppers once the capsule was down. Then I worried about the capsule getting swamped when they opened the hatch. Did one of the flotation balloons fail to inflate? FFS… I just wasn’t going to be happy until the astronauts were all safely on board the aircraft carrier and signing autographs for the fanboys. I’m gonna have a fuggin stroke when the moon landings start.
You all mind yer P’s n’ Q’s… and do something FUN this weekend! That’s an order! Poost yer plans in the comments so I can read them over and evaluate their worthiness! Hopefully one of us is doing something constructive and productive!
Cheers!
