I used to know this guy

Seriously. If it's not him... I know him anyway.

Here's the deal, kids:
This is a Jeep Cherokee.  This is not a luxury SUV, or a maintenance-free disposable import.  It has solid front axles, wind noise, and character.
It's a Jeep.  It rides like a Jeep.  It drives like a Jeep.  All of these are GOOD things.
It is not new, it is not pristine, it is used.  This will be apparent in the pictures.

If you do not own a toolbox, have never changed your own oil, and are scared of firearms: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you have been posting on facebook all about how excited you are for pumpkin latte season: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you get offended easy and often, whine to your co-workers, and bitch a lot: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you feel you are owed anything in the world & have a bullshit job where you fail to produce: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you own a bieber album, white oakleys, affliction t-shirts, or those candy-assed stitched-pocket jeans: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you consider the 2nd Amendment an anachronistic relic and have never owned a firearm: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.

 If, however, you have BALLS OF STEEL and consider adverse weather an excuse to do stupid shit: THIS IS YOUR JEEP.
Do you laugh at danger, and tempt fate? 
Have you ever uttered the words, "Hold my beer and watch this ..."?
While bored at work do you pick targets at random and think, "I could hit that from here with the .22 ..."?
Have any of your friends quit hanging out because you were too much fun?
Do you have the number of a friend with cash memorized for bail?
When you pass an abandoned flatbed farm truck along a fenceline do you consider taking on another project?
Is your ol' lady really sick of the random piles of parts, greasy footprints, and empty beer bottles in the garage?
    -could you not care less?
Do you have Jalopnik saved on your laptop AND smartphone?
Do you own a service manual for every vehicle you ever owned?
Do you still miss your first ride?
Can you carry on a two hour conversation discussing tools, scars, and hi-lift jacks?
Remember when tool companies had the balls to put half-naked beauty queens on their calendars?

Tell me this is a parody

It has to be a parody because I don't know of any intact male who could spout these words without either gagging or busting out in a belly laugh.

I'm asking you to tell me that it is and that I missed the punchline in all my FF-ing and headdesking.

How f&cking petty can you get?

Well, knowing that president Thin Skin is in charge, and closing (and guarding) parking lots, sea shores and grassy parks- this is just one more reason to remind people why they shouldn't vote for childish Democrats again in November, or next November.

So the big news today

...other than the temper tantrum involving the non-elected, non-caring, non-functional bureaucrats that infest the power structure of government is that Miley Cyrus has had topless (sort of) pics taken of her.

Sorry newsies. knowing that some skanky trollop has let her na-nas show isn't as much of a turn-on as seeing someone's high-beams when they didn't expect them to show.
Nope, no shock value when I'll get more than I ever wanted of her because she needs the publicity.

I may have chosen poorly

And I should have gone with that .44 MAG chambered Henry.
We went to the Black Rifle and Knife show today looking for ammo and hoping to find an aftermarket peep site with no happiness.

I would have been fine if I was in the market for anything black, because that's what 2/3's of the show was about.

I asked for comments in an earlier post

The one about the RIA 1911.

Well in the famous words of Rosanna Anna Dana- nevermind.

I went into town for an inspection on the PT Cruiser and to get some plumbing repair parts.
They didn't have what I wanted so i stopped into the feed & supply store to see what they had, and I walked out with this-
First- guess what it could be:

No cheating....

Just one thing to say about this latest financial bruhaha-

You people in DeeCee are adults.

START. ACTING. LIKE. ONE!


Share if you agree.

Throwing this out for comments

Rock Island Armory- Your opinion?

I've heard both good and bad about them, and I was thinking about this one.

yes it would be a starter, but i don't want it to be a gunshop queen either.

So, let me get this right...

We have an introduced species of smelt that might be impacted by farmers --in the California Bread Basket-- that have basically shut off the tap for thousands of acres of farms...because of 0bamas inflexable EPA and assorted other uncaring bureaucracies.

BUT if you're some kind of alternative energy provider that has it's checks cashed by 0bamas people-
You can get a permit to kill American golden eagles because that way you can save more of them...........

At Wally-World we save you money!

That's because we don't spend that extra money to put those expensive preservatives in out GV burger and hot dog buns.

Hell, if you wanted something that lasts longer than three days on the counter without molding- buy the expensive crap!

Me-

Many, many, many moons ago.
Rota, Spain.

0bamacrats

In action-

Just a thought for those in the sands of Afghanistan

Please dig safely.

Happy Birthday Wing-wipers!

Your ear worm for the day

I was singing this over a garbage barrel In Rota, Spain on July 4th at the end of our annual Independence Day party (and American flag raising):

Yes alcohol was involved and i drove home- just like everyone else.......(but crap it was 1986 fer Krissake):

Seriously FoxNews radio?

I get that your programmers are 0bots and can't get enough of his voice, but really- Having that arrogant prick sounding off on the Navy yard shooting like he's the one out there hunting someone down??????????

Isn't too much even close to enough for you?

Guess what day it is today?

One of the more memorial political speeches- and no teleprompter!

The end of the battle of Britain.

I've got a whistle.....

Oh!  Did I say that out loud?

I thought Seattle was full of Liberals?

And if it's full of Liberals, then by their press- they should be tolerant and accepting of others differences- right?

Then WHY do the Seahawks need to have undercover cops provoking fans with opponents jerseys?
AND a $75 online course to pass before they can be granted the blessing to continue to pay vastly inflated ticket prices?

I seriously can't see why anyone would pay that much for such hassles and restrictions..............

One of the good things about an enhanced phone structure

Is that it meets most of the military's requirements, like my Casio Ravine II is that it's pretty much waterproof..... And it took good pictures.
Until some dumb-@ss breaks that little floppy holder and leaves the charging plug off.
Then it accumulates sweat moisture inside and there is no where for it to evaporate to.

So NOW I have a cam-phone that's still working, but give that foggy Playboy look to anything I try taking a picture of.

And I've still got 5 months on the plan,,, and I don't know if Verizon works where I want to buy the new firing range homestead.
The one we're really interested in (10.75 acres for $67,250) is in my IX range while karens Spring was showing 3 bars..........


So MSGT B....
Here is probably the last pic form this cam-phone:

Oh? No!!!!

Crap!

Seriously...

Jessica might work as a name

In the same way as Vera works as a name for a Callahan fullbore autolock.



Besides, with a bunch of fast cars associated with the song anyway.......

So- Now that 0bamas "Red Line" was crossed

....Sorry we all heard wrong- 0bama didn't say that, it was "the world" that said that..................

Are our Liberal friends going to try to tell us that 0bama is *this* smart?

Everyone else has been running with it

So why not?

H/t to whoever I ganked it from..........

Yes I'm cold and heartless

And yes, I LMAO'ed at this:



THAT is why white people (or any responsible parent) should not allow rap in their house.

So i was looking for a truck name

...And I ended up through a u-toob wander at this interview with Joan Jett (yes you would) and the sexism in  that progressive infested entertainment industry-



..........ANYWAY.. if you can drag your eyes from the screen.......

It's kind of hard to come up with a name for the new truck, given that i like it enough to give it a name.

If it it was a `66 C-10, her name would be "Proud Mary"



Or if she was painted black, we could call her "Black Betty"


Then this on came on, but I'm still a Navy guy and don't want to push a premonition too far, so this one won't be on the chalkboard....


Throw your truck name into the ring...

How about "Eddie"? (had one (a Seat- prounounce Sey-at) in Spain that never died...--um ,,,Named Eddie)

So the Democrat controlled Senate

Is going to vote to allow President Peace Prize to unilaterally and without any UN support- lob a bunch of missiles ....somewhere into Syria?

Good thing we don't have a Cowboy in the white house...going off half-cocked and getting a coalition up and the UN votes before he went in unilaterally with Democrat votes from both Houses.

I really need

to redo my blogroll again.

Any suggestions?

So we went to the car place yesterday

I'd e-mailed the sales guy about the truck i wanted..from the site- with the stock number on it, and he told me that they have it on the lot right now. I said "cool, we'll be down tomorrow morning."

We got there ands as we were waiting for him to finish up some customers paperwork, we looked at trucks and I told K- - this is the one, except it's a dark charcoal grey.

The sales guy made it and said he'd get "YOUR" new truck, and he went off and brought "this" back

This one still for sale.. 16K miles.

t

WTF???!!????

"That's NOT the one I asked about, that one was darker grey that that silvery-white thing."
--"Are you sure it was different? They do make mistakes while describing them."

"I saw the pictures of that one and this one, that one was at R-- M-C---- Toyota."
--"let me see if I can find that one for you, if I can't- is the color a deal breaker for you?"

"Yes, the last five times I've gotten a vehicle it's been some shade of silver and I only got them because I had no choice. I hate that color and now I don't *have* to buy a color I don't like."

Well, we found it at a different franchise of the same dealership for $1,000 less. Still had 16K on the odometer.

We paid cash and the finance guy *still* wanted to convince us to take a loan because -somehow paying interest on top of the truck price-- "Would save you money."

We said no.
I drove a year and a half old Ranger off the lot for less than I paid for a Mitsubishi Montero Sport at Maxwell Mitsubishi of San Marcos, TX.......... with less hassle. . . and a better taste in my mouth.

 That back glass is begging for a nice white SeaBee decal, isn't it?

Ripped fromDrudge this morning

Feet off the desk!

Is that supposed to be some "manly" pose OR is he showing what he thinks about expensive gifts from the British people?
