HI Ken: My daughter finally got back to me on the photos. She said they seem to be pretty old but no credits to the shooter.

Also said some were in pretty sensitive areas! Whatever that means?

Said the "windows" were a hoot. Tom

    I worked at a big engine plant and i carried a 380 every day in my front pocket. I have crawled in pits to weld. If you can think of any position to get in i have been there.

    I keep a Ruger 380 in my front pocket all the time. Even at the doctors office.

    I have had 3 Irishmen threaten to kill me so i am armed with 1 gun always and 2 guns most of the time.

    With a front pocket holster in blue jeans it does not print much.

    I thought you would like to know what is REALLY in taco Bell's beef...errr or whatever you want to call it. Even according to the USDA rules, it can't be considered beef according to this lawsuit

    The good news is, that maybe they'll start putting beef in their tacos after this lawsuit... I mean, stranger things have happened[:D]

    You ask for a recipe for my spicy pickled sausages... They're so easy to make, your dog could even make them... That's if he doesn't eat them before they're made[:D]

    I really don't follow an exact recipe usually. But this is close.

    And sometimes I forgo the water and add hot sauce at the same amount and skip the red pepper flakes. I really like them made with Habanero hot sauce. but I bet you if you really want to kick up the heat you can cut a very small amount Carolina Reapers and use that for the Heat.


    This recipe makes a one quart jar of pickled sausage. Scale up or down as desired.

    1/2 cup water_- 2 cups white vinegar
    1/2 tbs Ground Cayenne Pepper
    1 tbs red pepper flakes 1 tsp minced Garlic.
    1 tbs dried minced onions, but I usually slice up an onion and just throw the onion slices in it. I loved spicy pickled onions too 1 tsp Paprika
    1/2 tsp white pepper
    1 tbs salt
    Lg pinch all spice-
    28 oz pkg Hillshire Farms 'lil Smokies, or other precooked link sausage, cut in two. (MUST be precooked!) Kielbasa sliced about 1/2 inch thick works also. But I'll usually use kielbasa or Italian sausages sliced size and a slit down the side of them so that the juices from the Brian can get into the middle of them, Hot dogs just don't work.
    Any other herbs and spices that you think would taste good at.

    Directions

    1* On medium-high heat, combine the water, salt, vinegar, herbs and spices.
    2* Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes in a well ventilated area, Like I said in my previous post, I use my to girder portable range top and do this outside. That way it doesn't smell up my house
    3* Place precooked sausage into a 1 qt sterile jar. Fill jar but don't pack tightly.
    4* Pour the hot vinegar mixture in with the sausage, If there isn't enough, add some vinegar. Secure the lid.
    5* Let cool, then place in the 'frige. And shake up the mixture at least once a day for the first 10 days so bad all your herbs and spices don't settle to the bottom.
    keep Refrigerated after opening.

    When opened for the first time, there will be a layer of fat on top and the underside of the lid, remove if you want too.

    Now the hard part starts. Waiting the 10 days to enjoy, so that the sausages sucks up the taste.

    Spicy pickled eggs are made the same way except using eggs instead of sausage.

    You can also make both the sausages and eggs at the same time in the same canning jar. That way after you open them, you only have to refrigerate one jar at a time..

    84Bravo,

    If your thread having disappeared was my fault than please allow me to extend an apology...

    If my involvement brought more negative attention in your direction let me state that I am sorry...

    If my remarks have crossed the line or caused you grief than know that was not my intention - I regret if I interfered with your post or was perceived as high jacking your thread...

    At no point did I intend to escalate the operational tempo for the conversation or to accelerate the dissolution of the discussion.

    I certainly lost my temper and perhaps let my normally firm control over my thread response filter slip somewhat.

    In no way and at no time did I wish to imply that you needed my help or were unable to defend yourself against the predictably shallow and pedantic assault on your character or the associated thread jacking attempt that was already in progress.

    I have struggled somewhat with self control recently and allowed my personal demons to distract me from my normal mission parameters - especially when witness to pointless attacks against those I respect and consider my peers.

    So please if you or the captain or other admin and mods think I was out of line or caused a noticeable bad faith disruption and demonstrated poor self control or bad behavior you have my apology - I regret it if I have caused you any trouble or disrupted the forum.

    No excuse sir.

    Mike

    I noticed you're going to have tacos again tonight

    If you like tacos you'll love this recipe. It's the bomb


    Basically you use all the same ingredients you do for a taco, but you use crescent roll dough to make a ring to put your meat into instead of using tortillas, and then bake it until the dough is golden Brown. I guess you could call it Gourmet tacos... The recipe is as follows

    Ken, think I recalled you lived in Greenwood Lake before move to TN. Wondered if you remember Annie Rabbit from over that way. She was NY Assemblywoman for our district and fought the good fight in Albany. She got beat up pretty bad by sheer numbers in Albany and ran for Orange County clerk and won.

    Well Annie is A+++++++++++++++++ pro gun and she is now running for NY State Senate. I believe she has a lot of respect from folks in our District and all Upstate and Western NY sheriffs. I sure hope she makes it back to Albany. Maybe there is still hope for us.

    Hang in there brother...

    Breath in - breath out.

    Don't let a hater burn up your GBGD time - you home time - your off of work time - your dog time.

    Please remember if a hater brings it so hard you get locked out or banned or kicked off you have let them win...

    And dissapointed me - I need my team here to be here - and you are on that team.

    Thank you very much guys I appreciate it.

    I/we went to bed around 7:30 or so, last night. I've not been getting much sleep, and I am exhausted. (Not to mention my back being a wreck from sleeping on the floor.)

    Does not seem to be in chronic pain. Has only cried out in pain a handful of times since this started, usually when I have to pick him up an move him/carry him somewhere (to go out etc.)

    He has eaten 3 very small meals of moist turkey or chicken and gravy dog food w/ medication mixed in. He just now inhaled the 3rd. We were up by 4 am when he got restless.

    Has not shown any change/improvement in mobility. [V]

    Its been a very long 3 days so far. I'm torn on what to do. No bowel movement in 3 days. Not a good sign. (Doc Feelgood gave me a recommendation that may help.)

    He has been so kind and gentle (all the time anyway) since this started. Just wants me touching him at all times. Tries to see how close he can get his face to mine.

    This has been killing me.

    Well just figured out he peed all over the couch just now, after my having him out about every 15-20 minutes since we got up.

    He does not seem to have any control over his urine/bowels.

    My Mom suggested an adult diaper.

    I just had him outside again, while I cleaned up the couch and rigged up a tarp to cover it while we are sitting on it.

    When/if he has a bowel movement its gonna be ugly I'm afraid.

    I don't know how to proceed. I'm at a loss. Doing what I can.

    Bravo I know it may not be what you want to hear at this moment, but sometimes you just have to let them go. My main concern would be is he in pain. I would not want him to suffer any more, though this may not ease your suffering. prayers sent and may god guide you in choosing the right path, I think it will come in time, and at that time you will know what must be done. so sorry.

    Ken,

    I'm so sorry. I've been there and know what you're going through. The thing is, I also know what Buddy is going through and it breaks my heart.

    In my case it was Trudy Lou. She was a blond Labrador so dear that she brings back tears even after being gone for almost seventeen years. Trudy began to lose control of her bladder and her bowls. I could see and feel her embarrassment. We lived with this for a short time hoping for better days, but there weren't any. Sadly, I put her down. It still hurts but I'd do it again for her sake.

    Place Buddy before yourself. Do what's best for him no matter how much it hurts you. Don't allow your suffering to cloud the decision to do what's best for your friend.

    Life is difficult. Sometimes impossible. I know the finality of death, but there are times when death and the peace it offers is infinitely better than suffering.

    I appreciate your kind words and compassion hillbille and Nord. I really do. I agree.

    I've pretty much come to the conclusion that seems to be the proper path at this point. I will more than likely be calling out Monday, in order to do what I have to do.

    I had to give him these 3-5 days to see if he could come back from this, for him more so than for me. I would have done it the first day, but I felt I owed it to him to give him the chance.

    We have had some good quality time and shared a lot of love in these last few days.

    Hard to read and post through the tears. Believe me, I've not held on this long for my sake, but for his. [V]. I owed him that much.

    Ken, so sorry to hear you going through this pain with Buddy. I agree that it is time. If it was my buddy, I would spend the day with him, making his favorite meals, taking pictures and hugging him. I would then let the vet put him out of his pain. You two will see each other again at rainbow bridge. He need to be there, running in the tall grass, with his buddies, playing catch and waiting for you. Ken, let me know if you need anything. We have all been there and it is like losing a family member. Hell, they are better then some family members. My prayers are with you . Oakie

    Oh man what a terrible thing to have to do. I have made that last ride with 6 of my dogs and it gets harder every time. Even when you know its the best thing for them its still tough to do.

    I have held the paw of two of my best friends as they have been put down. Stand by him, let the last thing he knows be your love and support. It will do you a lot of good as well.

    Sadly, sooner rather than later will probably be the best approach at this point.

    You and buddy are in my thoughts.
