Post up a throwback photo - it can be anything you choose. Here's a pic of our pup Gunner sleeping when we got him in December of 2015:  “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | ||

That'll work! Nice family, PHPaul. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

My great uncle right after returning from France in the Great War, 1919. His brother was killed in combat on 9 November 1918, two days before the armistice. ► 6.4/93.6 “Most men … can seldom accept the simplest and most obvious truth if it … would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions … which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabrics of their lives.” — Leo Tolstoy | |||

 The first stone is always the hardest. This is the beginning of a retaining wall I built several years ago. The old railroad ties are out and versalok is going in. Where to place the first stone?

My dad, somewhere in southwest Alaska, circa 1951. He's the one in the back, left side, with shades, hat, and the impromptu shoulder holster. He was part of the US Army's 30th Engineer Group stationed at Fort Winfield Scott at the Presidio in San Francisco. They spent the summers surveying in Alaska. He had great stories of those times. From winning other guys beer rations - once by betting on his own shooting skills, and another time on whether they could light a strike anywhere match by swinging an axe (he secretly practiced beforehand, so he could do it most of the time), or the time he was left overnight on a mountain top by piston engine helicopter - and ended up driving off a brown bear with his M-2 carbine. Single shots into the rocks in front of it, so the gravel would sting it's nose (he knew that shooting it with 110 gr FMJ was pointless)  NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

The old man, my mother, sister, brother, and I. Taken when he was uniform patrol. He and his partner had just broken up a bar fight the night before this was taken. He kept his right hand hidden because it was swollen. Taken 1962.  "All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." --Sir Winston Churchill "The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose." --James Earl Jones | |||

Summer 1968 - My first experience with my grandfather's old Wheelhorse tractor (which I later drove off the seawall and into the lake when the steering broke ).  ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns. And several dogs, because a man with a cat is a woman. Kurt Schlichter | |||
