Never thought about the night vision devices.
"Never thought about the night vision devices."
The alternative is just take some from "someone who no longer needs them". This was a comment I heard from Dad regarding military equipment in WW2. This would be facilitated by the "quality firearms and ammo".
That has been sent to about a dozen of my old coot shooting buddies....
You are a very lucky man William81. All of my old coot shooting buddies have gone under. 😔
That is where I got it from one of my old coot shooting buddy
I'm still trying to figure out how a Ford could take you as far as a Bentley. 😆
@susie it says the Bentley will take you as far as a ford...
That's not saying much.
JD, 2 thumbs up
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Most all my old coot shooting friends have passed on. Many a great time, especially driving about one hour each way to the Friday night turkey shoot. Always a comedian in the mix, we laughed so hard may a time we were sore for days from laughing. One of them shot his big toe off, he was in bed asleep, something woke him up and he saw something a the foot of the bed. He kept a pistol under his pillow, yep, though it was an intruder but suddenly found out it was his foot.
One other of the gang would tell a joke and get the punch line at the first of the joke. He was a blast, sure miss those fellows.
😃
I understand what you are saying. The guy I really wanted to send it to passed away a few days before Christmas this year. I have fewer folks to share this wisdom with all the time. 😕
Amen to that William81. My dad and I had ongoing discussions going for years by email. Highlight of my morning was seeing what he'd writ overnight, always to bring a big smile and I'd work on a reply during the day. I lost him a couple years ago and I sure miss that. Steel sharpens steel.
Wisdom, dad was 88, medic WW2. some of his last words " Son might as well take that 30-30 home with you, i think my hunting days are over. i wished we could have gone hunting/fishing one more time".-------------------------Ray
Was always a little envious of you living up there in the "Last Frontier" a place I never wanted to leave in '89. I would say a lot of your dad's steel rubbed off on you. Yep, you are a lucky fella.-----------------------Ray
Thanks Ray, that's high praise indeed. There is no place like this place. Or people like these people.
Here's a picture of Joe Redington and Susan Butcher when they mushed a dog team to the top of that rock.
Beautiful pics Nanuq!
This story I read today kind of adds a bit of sarcastic wisdom to Alaska Dog Sledding! 😲
