Minnesota Clydesdale…

NOT something you see everyday…


Only in Nordern Minnesnowta! 

This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his Horses, and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks. Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves, he claims it is the best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the moose around is a sweet salt lick, although, during the rut he disappears for a couple of weeks, but always comes home smiling…



All I can do is just smile at this one…

Ah crap… It’s a photoshop… http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/workmoose.asp

Thanks to Sean for pointing this out… Now I feel REALLY stupid…

Creedmore is moving…

For those who are fans of Creedmore Sports, they are leaving California and moving to Alabama…

On or before April 15th, 2013, Creedmoor Sports Inc. will cease all operations at our Oceanside, California location and relocate to our newly acquired facilities in Anniston, Alabama. We have dubbed this move “Operation Roll Tide”.

The decision to move was based on several factors including; business climate, proximity to greater number of customers, employee pool and growth potential.

Our new facilities are located aboard old Fort McClellan, ten minutes North of CMP Headquarters in Anniston. Morris Building of Anniston began construction and renovation February 4th on the existing building and on a new addition. Many of our employees key to production and operations will be moving with us, thereby minimizing any potential disruption to service.

Yet one more buisiness leaving California for greener pastures!!!

Questions that STILL need answers…

The following questions still need to be answered about Benghazi…

All citizens must ask the following questions and more, and demand a complete map to understand how our government is supposed to work at the highest levels in times of crisis by those who took the oath of office:

  1. Career professionals in the CIA, the Military, the State Department, and other integral professionals including the National Security Team are trained and expected to ensure all Americans and USA interests are protected at all costs. To many, Benghazi was likely the apex of their respective careers to prove their worth and value. How could so many fail and hide the realities of terror attacks and threats and as one Senator asked who was in charge or supposed to be in charge?
  2. The entire National Security apparatus was well aware of the events leading up to and including the attack(s) on Libya and beyond, so why the indifference and lack of any response?
  3. Secretary Panetta and General Dempsey admitted during their testimony that there is no firehouse mentality, the question is why as this is outside the scope of Rules of Engagement and historical training?
  4. The Benghazi annex was the largest CIA base in North Africa. The primary mission was to chase the illicit and illegal arms stream as well as the Middle East militia members. The question is how far reaching and effective was this mission for the end result to be terror attacks and death and how politically charged was this to the administration’s overall goals in the Magreb and Middle East and beyond?
  5. Secretary Panetta and General Dempsey clearly both revealed that the meeting with Barack Obama on 9-11 was thirty minutes long and only 20 of the thirty minutes centered on Benghazi. Just how deep was the commitment of Obama to re-election versus Foreign Service officers in Libya and beyond as more than 20 locations had demonstrations or attacks against the United States during the week of 9-11?
  6. Did Hillary Clinton sign a waiver to deny Marine security at both locations in Libya to include Tripoli and Benghazi despite Congressional laws against her actions (SECCA) perhaps in favor of government contractors like Blue Mountain or DynCorp and did the administration wave off rescue missions?
  7. While General Ham was in Washington, DC. on 9-11-12, who gave orders for any and all actions or lack of actions in Benghazi including the dispatch and re-dispatch of surveillance drones and in favor of what?
  8. Given that several hundred terror-related incidents occurred in Libya over the previous 24 months in Benghazi, where are the surveillance drone videos, and who assessed the conditions on the ground with regard to weapons and militias?
  9. The members of the Accountability Review Board (ARB) were chosen by Hillary Clinton and with the classified and non-classified publication of the ARB, the matter of the terror attack has been insufficiently addressed. Congress gave Hillary Clinton many questions, both within and without the scope of her testimony. Where are her written responses and those members of the ARB that she promised after her testimony?

These were posed by MGen Valley (ret) in the Canada Free Press article HERE

I’m still amazed at how Kerry was schmoozed through the nomination process, since he is a traitor to the US… And Clinton’s infamous “What difference does it make?” response was not challenged…

THIS is the difference you twit!


And when you add in the ‘controversy’ over the drones (no ‘loaded’ drones available?  BS!), and the total absence of the Prez, there are just way too many things that don’t make sense.   

I’m glad to see some congresscritters with balls that are finally willing to stop approvals until some answers are gotten!

But the more important question is, who will be the NEXT to be abandoned???  A SEAL team in the field?  A BCT stuck in Northern Afghanistan?  A warship in a confrontation with China? Another embassy???

Sadly, I DO believe this will happen again…

I miss days like this…

Lots of folks don’t believe the venerable old P-3s ever do anything ‘interesting’…



We did more than a few ‘strange’ things over the years, of course back then we didn’t have video cameras…

And it does get a ‘tad’ windy and noisy when you open the door in flight! 🙂

Good memories… Sigh…

Gun show report…

Now that I’ve thawed out, myself and a couple of co-workers decided to go to the Dulles gun show this morning…

Got there about 0900 and couldn’t find parking… Ended up parking down by Wally World and hoping we didn’t get towed.  Line was around the front of the building, and 2/3 the way down the side. Now it was 31 degrees and WINDY, wind chill was in the 20s (I know, I know that ain’t cold)…

We did see one idjit (must have been from Minnesota) out there in shorts and a t-shirt; and he was turning interesting colors…

Finally got inside, and it was PACKED… There were actually some EBRs (stupid high), and lots of folks ‘trying’ to find deals.  One of my co-workers was looking for a suppressor for a 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser and actually FOUND one (actually the old boy had three)… And he also had 10 of the wooden training rounds! 

The usual suspects were there, and the only thing they seem to know how to do is raise prices…  Colt Pythons $4200-$5000, one well used 4″ was ‘only’ $2700!!!

A case full of 1911A1s were anywhere from $2500 to $5000 for a Remington Rand in about 80% condition.  There were three M-16A2s for sale, $20,000 each, and an SR-25 Mod 11 for $12,000 (used). 

Ammo- Now THAT was a cluster… I found 3 boxes of Eley Match at a single table for $6 each, jumped on those and bought a brick of Western Super X match (the old yellow box stuff) for $60.

Prices were all over the place for damn near anything, CCI .22 from $7.95 to $13.50 per 100, I saw one guy trying to sell bricks of Federal Ultra Match for $199!!! 5.56 green tip from $1/round to over $2/round for 855.  9mm/.45/.40/38 was between $29 and $45 per box of 50.  Saw a can (600 rounds) of 30 carbine for $799. 

The other co-worker did find some 8mm Mauser and got a holster done for his M&P by SharkTac while we were wondering around. They do nice work in Kydex and he got an exact mold to his gun.   

We left about 1130, and the line was STILL a block long, and it was one out, one in to the show, so the building was full.  And lots of folks were plunking down $$!!!

Best thing I saw all day was a dad with two daughters 10-11ish walking out with TWO Crickets 🙂  And each daughter giving him a hug and then asking if they could carry the rifle boxes themselves…

That alone gives me hope!

Can somebody ‘splain this???

DHS is buying “Personal Defense Weapons”, but banning “assault weapons”…

And LAPD/LASO are deploying “Patrol Rifles”  but Dorner has an “assault weapon”…  

But they ALL look like this…


What am I missing here???

Gone to the gun show…

Dunno ‘why’ I’m bothering, other than to meet a couple of folks and go have lunch…

In lieu of actual content, some ‘comments’ heard lately…

Co-worker on  meeting daughter’s prospective fiancé-  I feel like a used car salesman…  Dunno whether to upsell or downsell…

From a preacher friend-

“And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth”.

Then He made the earth round… And He laughed and laughed…

And for those that need some ‘buzz words’ for those corporate white papers…
