We interrupt this program with a very important message brought to you by the staff here at 4GFC. Late last night while the world was in deep sleep or otherwise preoccupied by other matters, we were informed that a very important event had taken place.
GuntOfMonteCristo celebrated his 51’st Birthday!
We now return to regular programming. Thank you. – Knight π
Love Sarah and her family! I have her feed and Bristol’s on my facebook–say what you will about Bristol’s mistakes, she’s really growing into a bright, strong Mom, clearly learning from her own Mama.
I’ve been a fan of Sarah’s since before she was tapped for “running mate”, and even though I have had my disagreements with her from time to time. . . I’m still a fan!
Shirley Temple has died. π¦
She was 85.

Because the only ones who CAN be criminals are right-wing criminals, right? Left-wing criminals simply redefine the words so there’s no such things. Thanks, NG!
KD’s take on the education bubble.

Uh oh!!! I remembered it was your birthday yesterday but I promptly forgot with so many things happening around here and having no time to be online. Sorry!! That’s a pathetic excuse, I know. Belated birthday wishes, Grunt. Hope it was a blessed one!! π You share your birthday with my mum!! π
Birthday blessings to your good mother, Shal!!
I second what Grunt said! π
A belated Happy Birthday Grunt!!!!!!!
Congrats on your new gun…… but you know better than to mention something like that without posting some sort of picture!
Happy Birthday, Grunt!! We are on the lookout for a bottle of that Irish whiskey you mentioned and will raise a toast in your honor.
Thank you, Harve! I definitely recommend the 10yr single malt. It’s not terribly expensive, but better than the regular blended. It’s hard to find, though.
Nice (but nasty-ugly) cake! π The camo is most impressive! About the rifle, I’ve got a photo of it going up tomorrow. Those of you with admin privis can go take a peek at tomorrow’s scheduled OT if you like. π
Yeah, that cake is a butt-ugly. I’m glad at least that you can tell those are bullets and not droppings.
Those are bullets? I thought they were partially smoked Tootsie Rolls.
It’s not much, but is seems as though anti-freeze might be helpful fight about now. Happy birthday Grunt.
This gives new meaning to the phrase “Here, I gotta coupla Washingtons for yah.” Much better than the other meaning! Thanks, Tex!
So, my team didn’t do so well this year. . .but! I am glad someone on the staff has some stones:

Good!
Always have loved a Tonka truck! π

Whoa! $72G toy truck π―
Have you priced a new dually lately? Dude, you’re a rocket sturgeon, price should not be an obstacle to happiness. π
Dude, I’m a rocket engineer, not a bankster! If I drove one of those home, my wife wouldn’t even let me in the door to apologize! π¦
So much for that big fancy, schmancy travel trailer to head down south when it gets “cold” up there. π
Right. When we show up at Rancho Gordito begging for a place to stay, it won’t be in a 5th-wheel. It’ll be in an old Durango loaded with cases of tequila and ammo, but at least that’ll be easier to park out behind the barn. π
All you had to do was say so! π π
Yeah sure Grunt! We all know why you wouldn’t drive one of those home. Cause your Mrs. would grab the keys and say “thanks Dear, I always wanted one of those”!
Naw, that wouldn’t be good enough. She wants a whole new house! π―

This is the answer to the problem!
Holy schamoley… Ok. I’m in! π
We can’t even prosecute a Somali pirate correctly? π³

Thanks, Knight and everyone for the birthday wishes! I’m in meetings all day, but I’ll get back to it off and on this afternoon. Bless you guys! π
Happy, Happy Birthday!!
Thanks, Freedom!
You’re welcome Grunt! Don’t work too hard. π
It’s also Ginger’s birthday today! π

Sometimes the voters don’t forget:

One of her “hurdles” as a candidate is “support” of the state healthcare exchange. Support in this case being an instrumental figure in establishing the exchange.
She’s just another establishment puppet. Not something we need right now in Colorado. “Fresh face” my butt.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRUNT!!! π π π
(old fart π )
Pretty soon, you’ll be as old and crickey as me. ‘Course, you’ve got those kids to carry your ruck for you. π
Here’s wishing you many, many more, old friend. π

Thanks, Buddy! I’m an old fart, now, for sure. But I still got a ways to go before I’m in the same fightin’ shape you’re in. I got to get down under 190 lbs so I can haul enough gear I’m not an embarrassment to my kids. Got my youngest boy fooled, though. He’s such a gear-head he carries everything in his pack. I don’t even bother to carry half the ruck I used to, since I know I can always “borrow” it from him. That’s what they’re for, right? π
Hey, here’s the rifle I ended up with this time around. It’s not as fancy or expensive as that POF .308 I was looking at, but it’s got old-school quality, you know?
Ultimately, I want to get a side-mount scope, because the iron sights on it are pretty good, and I want to be able to use ’em.
But a short scope on the top rail might work.
Nice! π
Well, it’s not like it’s a .338 Lapua or anything. π
Hey! So what was yas doin’ for yas B-day? Was it anything like this? π
I wish! π
Nice gun porn! Enjoy it!!!
Not legal in NY anymore unless you want to register it.
Yeah… same here!
Excellent choice!!! You are, indeed, well-armed. For the scope mount, go Sadlak. The Airborne STEEL mount. (NOT aluminum). They’re expensive as hell – but worth it. And, you’ll be getting other parts from Sadlak, anyway…to inprove it a bit.
Check this out……

Sounds good. Moving the discussion to a new comment on Wednesday’s OT…

Sheesh! πΏ
Oops! I’m late – but Happy Birthday Grunt!! I hope you’re still enjoying it!
Absolutely! Thanks, M! I hope you’re doing well and keeping ahead of the snow on the driveway.
So far, so good! At least it’s pretty! π
Happy Belated Birthday, Grunt!!!
Thanks, Red!
