I swear, it is so pleasant outside tonight that I am going to kick off my boots and shirt, wrap up in my nearest ponch liner and go to sleep with only my 12 gauge shorty, CharlieGodammit and my security door to keep me safe.
Yeah, right.
But it is nice outside tonight. Maybe I'll just hide behind another door and my 45.
And another door.
Quit laughing.......

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!
I got this couple, or trio or more across the street that's gay. I can deal with that, this is after all Kalifornia. Seriously, I could care less who or what they fuck as long as it ain't me or CGD and I seriously doubt my wolfdog would let them even come close..
And they let me know occasionally when they see something they deem "suspicious" (tattooed people-whoa!) around my property.
But their fucking 70s disco music has to go. It is driving me FUCKING INSANE.
I couldn't even stand that shit in the 70s.....
You may be reading about this in the paper shortly.

An easy Redneck test......
Name the song and artist:
"She got ranned over by that damned ol' train!"
Cmon, it ain't that fucking hard........
No fair peeking at folks' that beat you to the punch.

My shootin' room
Yeah, I got this fucking tiny breakfast nook off of my kitchen that's been used as a plant room (not those kind) and a storage room. I can honestly say in the 14 years I've lived here, I have never ate a meal or had a cup of coffee here.
A buddy of mine turned me onto a springer not too long ago after his boy shot and killed the family cat with it (it was either the rifle or the boy and I don't tolerate no kids that have no gun sense so I took the rifle) but it's illegal to discharge any type of firearm in city limits and that springer is a lot louder than I thought - think 22 short as far as noise goes.
But then I got to thinking - I got a table and bench in a room that I don't use with a window facing 75 feet of backyard and no full time old lady to object....... You know what's coming, huh?
And here's the view from the bench to the 50' target....
From the target....... photo was zoomed in.
A little closer view......
Of course I have to remember to bring this silly son-of-a-bitch in before I commence to shooting......
Wouldn't want to be accidentially headshooting my wolfdog, ya know.
I can even shoot at night with my spotlight trained on the target......
Seriously, I can crank up Hank III or Waylon or Patsy, crack open a beer and shoot all night long. The house contains the noise of the springer and the newspapers behind the target muffle the WHAP of the pellet hitting the backboard.
Fuck, I'm in redneckin' heaven. Eat your heart out, Derek!
And I seriously want to thank drjim from Every Blade Of Grass for donating the scope. I mentioned in an earlier post that I was in need of one and within a couple of days he had sent me one and above my objections, refused payment. He's good people.

That's some straight up Okie shit, there.
In my defense - okay, my excuse - we've got these huge camphor trees on my street that keep foliage all year long but shed some leaves periodically throughout the year. This winter we got a lot of rain and it's either been too wet or I've been too drunk to climb up and sweep the duff off my roof.
And now spring has sprung and the weeds have popped.
But still, how many other motherfuckers do you know that live in town and have weeds growing on their roof?
Coyote bounty in Minnesota?
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — There have been cases across Minnesota of coyotes killing other animals, including pets in the Twin Cities. Now a state lawmaker has an idea that, he says, will control the growing coyote population.
“It’s more an incentive,” explained Rep. Andrew Falk (DFL), who represents several Western Minnesota counties. “There are a number of farmers in my district who have had experiences.”
Falk has talked with farmers who say coyotes have killed their cattle. Recently, a family pet in a Twin Cities suburb was also killed by a coyote.
Falk’s bill in the state legislature would actually pay people to kill coyotes. It would allow for a bounty for each one.
County Boards would decide specifics, including how much they’d pay for each coyote and when the bounty would be given. Falk estimates that boards might pay anywhere from $5 to $20 for each coyote.
“Specifically where there is a need, where we have an overabundance of the populations, it gives the County Board an additional tool to hopefully incentivize people to hunt or trap or take the animals by any legal means,” Falk said.
Each county will decide whether they use the idea or not.
“I personally don’t think it’s necessary,” said Craig Bourgeault, who lives in Edina.
Bourgeault’s wife filmed a coyote in their backyard recently. The video shows the animals jumping a fence, running through, and jumping another fence to leave, all the while the family’s dog is barking.
Bourgeault thinks coyotes are harmless and would rather not confront anything.
“They’re not going to attack people. They’re not generally going to bother people,” said Bourgeault.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says more coyotes are appearing in southwestern Minnesota counties. Falk thinks his bill will help deal with the issue.
Thanks to Pat in Arizona for passing this story along.

This was written by a Marine for the Huey air crews in Vietnam, but it's a nice tribute to helicopter crews, no matter what war.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Thousands of protesters angry over the purported burning of a Koran by a Florida pastor stormed a United Nations compound Friday in northern Afghanistan, killing at least 12 people, including eight foreigners.
Two of the foreigners were beheaded, Reuters reported. There were unconfirmed reports that the death toll was as high as 20.
The demonstration in Mazar-i-Sharif turned violent when some protesters grabbed weapons from the UN guards and opened fire, then mobbed buildings and set fires on the compound, officials said. Demonstrators also massed in Kabul and the western city of Herat.

So let me get this straight:
They're pissed off at Terry Jones for burning their book of political doctrine, so they protest and kill at least 8 people that had nothing to do with that book burning?
And as far as the folks that did burn the book? The president of Afghanistan wants them "prosecuted". For what? Freedom of expression? And under what - shari'a law? Fuuuuuck you.

My day so far
Cut the backyard (75' x 50' and knee-high), went shopping, changed my oil, mailed off a package to Cousin Jen, did laundry, did dishes, vacuumed the carpet, scrubbed the tub, did the recycling for the month, went to the ex's bank and deposited her money, got a nice chunk of beef on the smoker, and doctored CharlieGodammits' foot where he cut it yesterday.
And it's only 12:30.
Things still to do? Mount the scope that drjim graciously gave me on my springer, zero it, take CGD to the dog park before he drives me fucking crazy, eat my chunk of meat, do my taxes and get drunk.
Maybe with all that domestic bullshit out of the way I can finally go find a coyote to shoot at sometime this weekend.

Federal Agents Told to Reduce Border Arrests, Arizona Sheriff Says
An Arizona sheriff says U.S. Border Patrol officials have repeatedly told him they have been ordered to reduce -- at times even stop -- arrests of illegal immigrants caught trying to cross the U.S. border.
Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever told FoxNews.com that a supervisor with the U.S. Border Patrol told him as recently as this month that the federal agency’s office on Arizona's southern border was under orders to keep apprehension numbers down during specific reporting time periods.

But mountain lions are cute and magnifcent and endangered and need protection from evil hunters
Turns out cougars killed Calif wine country sheep
The Associated Press
NAPA, Calif. -- It turns out a sheep herder and Napa County sheriff's investigators were wrong about the California wine country sheep slaughter.
Cougars killed the animals, not gunmen and lamb thieves.
Three sheep were found dead in the Mount Veeder Vineyard on March 25 and seven lambs were missing. Sheep herder George Richmond, who was hired to graze his flock on vineyard brush, and sheriff's investigators reported the sheep were shot and the lambs were likely destined for Easter dinners.
The San Francisco Chronicle says the U.S. Department of Agriculture concluded Thursday that marauding mountain lions were the culprits. A federal trapper found the missing lambs' carcasses in nearby woods.
I'm thinking this is the first time they've seen lions in Napa County since they can't tell the differance between a lion kill and a gunshot wound, the dumb fucks.
Twenty-some-odd years ago when it was legal to hunt lions in Kalifornia, there was a healthy, sustainable population of cats up in the foothills and mountains where they belonged.
Then the bleeding heart liberals got involved and rushed a measure on the ballot outlawing hunting or running with hounds and not surprisingly, it was passed by all the other bleeding heart liberals here.
As a result, not only has the population exploded but they now have absolutely no fear of man. They're coming down the rivers and creeks and raiding small towns and the fact that the above story says there was more than one lion involved might tell you something. Our lions aren't like african lions - they don't have prides nor do they normally hunt together, they're solitary creatures by nature.
What I think is funny is that Napa County is something like 50 miles from San Francisco. I can't wait to read that a mountain lion was seen trotting across the Golden Gate Bridge with a panhandler in his jaws, headed back to the Marin Headlands with his lunch.
