War is never a good thing.
Unfortunately, looking more and more like we're (NATO) gonna have to go into Syria. The UN is dysfunctional in their primary purpose, stopping wars, and seems more concerned with controlling the internet at the moment.
This could have been avoided. Not excusing my country's lack of action...we were more concerned with elections and pretending that terrorist groups and terrorist states did not exist.
That was my reason for the tributes/salutes to the troops last night. I'm afraid that once again they are going into harms way.
Yipee,
thanks :)
LOL I was going to put a disclaimer on that comment for no smoke jokes, but what the hey let her rip ;)
I knew you guys wouldn't let me down
Got Skynyrd up and running.
I've seen U.N. effectiveness up close. They could not pass checkpoints unless I "carried" them through in Liberia. That is a quote from a gate commander: "U.N. will not pass unless you carry them."
'Course the U.N. had the stuff I needed - tents and water pumps and tools. So I did "carry" them one time to a village in Loffa County and we were successful: we got one water pump in the middle of a damaged village. One local came to me and said: "So we should eat the new pump?"
T'anks God I'm too old to go back out there again
That's no duck.
It's an incoming snowball.
Even I know that......
As long as that quacky snowball stays north of the state line, I'm good.
Wake up already!!!!!!!

Shep, weren't sleeping. Thought the net was down. Turned out to be a cable issue. One day I'll teach that darn cat to stay off my stuff...not!
Ah, an old favorite tune. Thanks man.
Oh...what are the Guac and lure recipes for the day?
Pottery, he should be more careful about yelling duck! Down here on the edge of the lake it can result in shotguns going off!
:o)
Orca! Well, if you gotta have it, you might as well play in it! Well timed pic!
YCD, Well...I suppose there are a few advantages to getting older. Heard a lot of stories like yours. Of course, it's not the fault of the boots on the ground but organizational dysfunction and lack of trust/respect.
Ski, You are welcome!
Pearl Harbor Day. A good time to reach out to a WWII vet. There are fewer of them every day. Let them know that they are appreciated.
Hard to believe. I thought we'd have been so much farther by now. Big dreams of a little kid...never realized.
Kinda sad...
Guac Cheeseburglars
:)
No lure making today.( still haven't made a new mantis shrimp yet from the image you posted)
Too busy making up my mind on a new image/graphics program for a new business venture.
Probably settle with Adobe CS6 Cloud membership on a new dedicated laptop.
Sumpin' ta do :)))
Oh yeah man! With bacon!
SugarBear and I both had one when they visited.
RTL turned his nose up at the "green stuff" though.
If you ever get down to Swampyville, have him take you there.
Burgers anyway you can imagine.
Biff Burger.
Sounds good to me.
Especially since all I had for dinner was some soft-boiled yard-fowl eggs, home made bread, and stuff.
No wonder I'm feeling weak.
Or maybe it's from running all afternoon, away from Orca's end.
Orca's end is indeed a dreadful thing!
:o)
Load up on the protein my friend!
I reserve the right to pop in with a random song here and there if the mood strikes.
Rest well my friends.
I ain't superstitious
Me and the devil have an understanding. He don't mess with me or my friends and I won't come gunning for him.
Meanwhile, RTL, if you'd told me about this concert at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, I'd have made the trip in Oct.

Warning: 26 minutes of Susanna Hoffs.
The sky is dripping, and the Lady has gone off to the early morning market in Couva with the two young people from Montreal.
I have been instructed to prepare 100 lbs of clay.
This involves wedging it into homongenous lumps of about 10 lbs each.
Wedging means kneading.
Kneading means exertion and muscular prowess.
It's a fine upper-body workout.
By 10:00 am I will be a sweaty, tired, dirty old man.
Everything is Normal.
Then you can skip the sweaty and tired part! :)
Excellent suggestion Y.
..as we all know Lord Pottery has been know to skip a time or two.
:)

Smoking kingfish, well, couldn't be any worse than some of the cigars I've smoked in my lifetime. Matter of fact, I'd probably prefer to smoke it than eat it. Don't care much for seafood in the first place. :)
Hey Pottery, how about using a small concrete mixer?
Don't know much about clay myself, except I have 16 inches of Georgia Red Clay under my yard. Want any of that?
Love that helicopter video Rob! My favorite chopper was the little Loch. Thought about buying one but the price is a little prohibitive. :)
(Why do we even hang out with him. Oh, yeah...all we gotta do is keep him stocked with appler fritters, coffee, and pepsi and he stays out of the good stuff.)
Good Morning Rattler!
Was beginning to wonder if you'd gone dark again.
Here is what your cute little loach (OH-6A Cayuse) has evolved into. It's grown some claws over the years.
Okay, gotta be careful about following your links. That is a scary sight 1st thing in the am.
You can buy a pug mill that wedges and de-airs the clay, but then Pottery has all that extra time and energy to get into trouble. Plus...you can buy a whole lotta rum and aspirin for what they cost.
Pottery,
Shouldn't you let the tourist do that?
It's those dang new Utube embed changes.
How do you deal with one that doesn't show "enable old embed code" option?
Found a new toy, thanks to ossymon :)
"FOXFI"
Free Droid app for creating your own wifi instead of tethering through USB cable with Easytether.
I hated that stupid cable :)
Way cool.
Just tried to embed a youtube video and I can't find any way to use the old embed code. Apparently WU still isn't allowing iframes.
Is there a workaround?
I ran into several of those with no old embed code the last couple days. I don't know a work-around.
could probably take the embed code from another vid and change the video code (it's in two places in the old embed code) then post that. Not sure...would have to experiment, but it's a long way around to accomplish what should be a simple matter.
What ! And be left with just the dirty old man part ?
OK. I guess that's fine actually. :):))
As Hood said, a pug mill would do the thing. Had a nice one in the old workshop, but it finally died...
A 'mixer' wont do it, the idea is too de-air it and knead it until most of the microscopic particles are sweetly lined up.
Then your clay becomes real nice to work with.
Expecting son and Alex&Amy in a few, so I have to get busy. Not that I wasn't you understand.
Also had to show the Visitors how to light the "coal-pot" which an oldtime small BBQ pit that burns coal (and cedar chips for flavour).
They bought some nice Carite in the market, and have been scrounging around the garden looking for 'erbs' to season it with.
I showed them the cilantro, the lemon grass, the spanish thyme, but did not introduce them to my 'erb bush......
Laters then>>>>>>>>>>
Yum.
As for me, I told Angie if she doesn't feel like cooking to pick up a bucket of the Colonel's finest.
Maybe I'll make fire tomorrow but today...just kinda coasting.
Yeah, by all means, keep the Canadians well away from the herb!
:o)
Have big fun with Princess Amy and Pyrate King Alex.
Too late for that Rob. Now that Washington State has legalized possession we just wander over the border.
Yep.
I will cook some this evening.
Good stuff.
Nice shower coming down again.
Lots of mud outside. When Alex leaves, some of it will be inside too.....
LOL to that !!
On an entirely different topic (!??) I read this week a very well-put argument from Richard Branson (Virgin Air) suggesting that it really is pointless to keep grass illegal.
Billions spent, thousands of otherwise innocent young people in prison, etc etc. with absolutely no benefits at all.
I read it on BBC or CNN, cant remember. 2 or 3 days ago
EDIT, just looked back a few days. Maybe they moved it.........
I was sure we were talking about basil.
:o)
swapped the vid code from another vid.
NO no.
We wont allow that !
Basil it is.
:):))
I'll do some screen caps and add to the tutorial soon along with hints about what to watch out for to avoid problems. Pics make it much easier to explain.
Branson was on maybe Letterman saying that the other night.
Hey Skye!
Didn't know you played. Awesome. A girl I used to play with played flute on a few songs that we did. Color my world, a zeppelin tune that escapes me at the moment, etc. Added a lot more to the music than her $10K synth and sample rig ever could.
Enjoy a little harp music.
Guess we don't get a guacamole recipe today. :o(
ooops :)
All ingredients cold.
Hollowed out small Italian tomatoes.
Avocado/salt/onion/cucumber/tomato hearts/black olive/...Tiger Sauce optional :) especially if you have a cold beer.
Stuff tomato hulls and eat immediately before anyone else sees them. Also good if you have some fresh cold green tomato hulls.
Great finger food while you're walking out the back door headed to the fishin' hole. And it's also great served with the fresh fried Blue Gill you're about to catch...if there's any left when you get back.
...sweet nora
