I can point you in the right direction in 20a if you pm me.

When I was working as a commercial fisherman in AK I used to love having the union dock workers sit in their heated, enclosed forklifts with stereos blasting. They would drink coffee and eat bologna sandwiches while we deckhands built pallets of fish or crab. It was sometimes -20F and snowing horizontally as we busted butt with no sleep, building these pallets, anxious to get back fishing. Once built, the union dock workers picked up a pallet and moved it a couple hundred feet into a container. This took the forklift operator about 30 seconds. Took us about 15 minutes to build a pallet. Thank goodness there were three forklift operators there (sarcasm) cause at least once an hour each forkie roared into action.

My dad was a Teamster nearly 30 years. 70 years ago his union negotiated a contract with the mining company's to give the nitro glycerin delivery drivers like dad an extra couple bucks a week as hazardous driving pay. Woohoo. When it came time to consider retirement, the union rep blatantly lied about dad's vestment costing dad thousands in annual retirement dollars. When called into question, the rep vanished into the unions folds like that car salesman at the lot promising you AC or a power sliding rear window but putting nothing in writing before vanishing at the sale managers behest. The union was notoriously corrupt and got powerful off the backs of their members. All while filling the coffers of equally corrupt DNC war chests. You can thank the auto workers union for a $10000 car costing $30000.

Yes

I wasn't there but Sheriff Whites death is well documented.

Morbid but I thought too it might be a goat.

Places in AZ got 18"-24" of rain in a single day

Yeah I have a German made .22 looks just like, my grandad bought it at a now defunct tucson store in the 60s. It's mission last 5 1/2 decades is dispatching rattlers.

Pics too dark, I win by default

When you dig it out, Tony look for a variation in the owl on the grip and the posts holding the cylinder down.

Too dark to count the screws but looks like 3 screw Ruger

Unbelievable but yes I know the caliber, 38 S&W and black powder. The company switched to smokeless after WWII and the gun could be had in .32

Winner winner. The Safety .38, made; if memory serves, 1909-1940, black powder,

No and nope

That's 2020 for ya. Got a guess?

Name that gun

Same with your horses and mules. I remember time spent with them more pleasant than most women in my life.

I hauled water for livestock in southern UT for about 10 years. I had a 220 and 500 gallon tank for my truck. But the most ingenious thing I ever saw was some friends homesteaded nearby and used a waterbed mattress to haul their water. No cumbersome tank to deal with and they'd just roll the mattress up when not in use.

My old phone had a PDF file I had found of a drinker study done decades ago by AZGFD in the Eagletail Mountains. Animals become so dependent on a specific drinker (deer and sheep in particular) that the critters will literally wait there and die at an empty water hole rather than move to one only a short distance away that holds water. So if you do make a drinker in the desert, please check it often for water.

I'm surprised Lisa let's you take him out. Last week I made the mistake of inviting the fabulous Mr B and his understudy, the abominable Ms B on a quick hike. Long story short, yeah he's 100% retired.

Perfect thread, thanks. I'm going to steal away to 21 once it's hot and heavy just to listen to all the bull.

Growing up in AZ, we always told Mexican jokes, love them. Three years ago.i found out I'm half Mexican (mestizo). Still love to hear them as much as ever. When did we forget how to laugh at ourselves?

Stove jack?
