Howdy - and an Introduction
« on: April 25, 2023, 02:50:34 PM »
Been a minute since I've been by for a visit, but I see y'all are holding the fort! Catch me up on what you've been up to.

I've invited a good friend to join. He's known to Lennyjoe and Gewehr98 as well, and has signed up with the handle Punch814. Good guy. Old school, career Army, he and his wife live in The Great State of Texas, and he knows his way around a range of tools. I'll let him tell you anything else he wants you hooligans to know.

I won't even request that y'all behave. Let the shenanigans commence.
Welcome Punch814!

I wasn't told we get to choose. When did that happen?

Welcome aboard, Punch814! We could use a few more Texans in our midst.

Also... Welcome Back, MrsSmith!

Welcome back, MrsSmith.  Long time no see.  And it looks like we're about to have another spider infestation.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I can't remember Mrs. S., was it big hairy spiders that you didn't like, or the little deadly ones that can hide in your shoe?  (or just all of them with eight eyes?)  :lol:

Welcome back either way.  And welcome to Punch too.
