Is it as hot in Buffalo as it is here in RI? The humidity is too much this weekend. :crazy:

It's too bad our schedules didn't work out a little better Bushman, it would have been really great to meet you at Truckorama!

Enjoy Niagara Falls, the Canadian side is gorgeous.

Nar that went over my head and hit the wall behind me, drinking a dope back home is a spiked likker.
Baptist, wouldn't worry me any as we were thinking of going to the primitive Baptists with a member's wife last Sunday but if ya read back a few posts you'll see that was the morning we woke late feeling like we'd been rode hard and put up wet.
Was when Halfbake come over, y'all heard Sunday morning coming down

Gotcha, some words the same some different, yeah GE we are pacing ourselves best we can . It can be a bit of a trap as I suspect some of these fellas know where to source some fine likker.
I am in the sticks in Kentucky now, a number of folks coming to catch up here. You fellas are amazing

It's so Sigogglin here where I live that the Damcows have the Uphill Leg 6 inches shorter than the downhill leg.
They get that way as young calves walking around the hillside.

AS you don't need to do anything fancy for Crow just wear your pluggers and have a walkabout in the arvo... maybe pop into Maccas and have a good chinwag with him over a cuppa.

other option is to go by a Bottle-O and get some tinnys and kick back under a shade tree...

happy stillin,

FS

you will do just fine ...

Yeah AS where I was raised we don't have such issues, flat as a seamstresses backside so as you can spot bullshit 2 miles off. But then I moved to the highlands up and down like a honeymooner's arse and its just as likely they breed them cattywump cattle there

It was very nice to meet y'all, sorry I had to leave before you got out of bed.
The most interesting story you told was what happened to your GUNS in Australia a few years ago. Confiscation.
It could happen here, but not without Bloodshed.

I felt the same way.... I'd heard about that situation in Australia, but it was so wild to hear Crow actually explain the whole process from a first-person viewpoint. Before that it was like a storybook tale a man would tell his children to scare them into preserving their rights.
