Weekend Open Thread (Official)
It’s finally here!
Okay, okay, I know: I’m late.
Isn’t that what your wife said before she told you the most important news?
Sorry I’m late with the WOT, but here you are. Have fun, play nice, and be home when the street lights go on, because you do NOT want me to come looking for you.

FIRST!!!!
FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job HMCS(FMS)…
I’ll blame it on the work internet….
Thanks, CWO5USMC – Semper Fi!
AMERICA…
fuck yea…
That would be “America! Fuck Yea!”
I’M GETTING NEKKID AND DOING A HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!
By all that’s holy Please Don’t Post Pics!
*grin*
My clothes are back on… momentary loss of sanity!
This is what I really did!
So, Toronto won the World Series?
Not since City Gaston ran the show. Only reason I know that is because a guy I went to HS with pitched for them those two years, then tore up his arm.
Cito. Fucking autocorrect.
Did the people at your work freak out? Or are they used to that kind of thing from you?
Situation normal….
And here’s a gif of HMCS(FMF) ret,
Slightly NSFW or lunch

Again, SLIGHTLY NSFW

LOL LOL LOL
I liked it better when it was forbidden.
Yeah….I agree. 😉
TMI!!
Congrats Senior Chief!
Still fucking bullshit….
First!!
Dammit…. not first!!
And so close, too…..
The problem we have is a doozy and I’m hoping one of the IT people can help. First, is it possible that if A hits “Post Comment” a couple of seconds before B does, that B’s comment will post before A’s? Second, is the time of a posted comment the time the comment was sent on its way or the time it was received? Or is the time difference .oooooo1 seconds or something? Lastly, can a time stamp be carried out to seconds or is it only to the minute. Thanking you in advance, whoever you may be.
In the words of CDR Montgomery Scott
Ah! Montgomery Scott, the kissing bandit. Kissed more women than you can count. They lined up for Jimmy Doohan at the STcons, just to get their pictures taken kissing him. I have two pix with him.
He was a WWII Canadian vet, too.
R.I.P. Scotty!
He landed on D-Day at Juno Beach, took out two German snipers and was shot 6 times that night by a confused Canadian sentry with a Bren Gun. He was shot at 13:30 as he crossed a German mine field between command posts.
A silver cigarette case given to him by his brother saved his life no doubt as that shot was to the chest. He also had his right middle finger shot off in the incident and was hit four times in the leg along with the other wounds.
He stayed in the Canadian Military throughout the war and went on to pilot school learning to fly and was dubbed as the “craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Force”.
I got all this info from Wikipedia.
He was truly one of a kind for an actor. But many actors from back then also served in WWII.
Now they scream, whimper, cry and retreat to safe spaces when someone says they are full of shit or tells them that they are a Republican…
Sigh…
It was a much different time back then, I’m hoping that America returns to those days of decent entertainment and entertainers instead of the dumbasses we have today…
It should be 23:30 when he was shot…
Oops…
You’re inscribed in the Book Of First, HMCS(FMF)ret. I am wondering about ties and tie breakers and IT’s role in this.
The weblog software itself is probably not the main factor; it’s likely to simply process what’s in the queue in the order it’s received. Which means that the main variable for who gets first in a tied submit situation is the one with the least network latency. Such latency can be a matter of existing traffic or network topology. Checking the amount of latency is actually fairly simple with a “ping” command. I just got 988 milliseconds from a sat link.
“Which means that the main variable for who gets first in a tied submit situation is the one with the least network latency.” I think I actually get that. Thanks. In other words, fast driver, slow car.
I believe that the actual time of posting has more to do with the server and how much it’s been losing at the blackjack table this week.
On the other hand, it just slugs them in there as fast as it can, and the timing is, in the context of Universal Time, micromilliseconds.
Maybe next time, Chief. My condolences.
Second! Or First Loser.
Since I posted it, I will NOT claim First.
You can but two things would result. First, you would not be entered into the Book of Firsts and, second, well, that’s just to horrible to contemplate.
You mean… water would flow uphill again?
Third, dammit. Personal best!
Maybe fourth…meh
…and I can’t count worth a shit, or refresh very fast…
No, I posted it so I’m out of the running.
You CAN claim 3rds and have a happy weekend.
WOOT!!! Thanks, Ex, you have a good one to- and nice job handling things while the boss is out.
Meh, top five at least. The Dutch Rudder Gang can continue to go fuxx themselves while each of them eats a dozen bags of dicks .
Practice for Bernath when he gets an extended stay courtesy of the state of Virginia?
One can only hope. I don’t think he realizes what he’s got in store for him. If he had just watched a few episodes of Scared Straight he might not be where he is now.
Danni-boi is probably getting lessons from QuEeFeRs on “prison etiquette”, since QuEeFeRs has spent a fair share of time in a few poundhimintheass jails.
Missed it again!
jerks.
Top ten? Have a good weekend, everyone!
Top Ten!! Wooooo-Hooooooo!!
And yes, thank you HMCS(FMF) for no pics. 🙂
You wouldn’t want to excite the Dutch Rudder Gang!
Holy crap that was fast.
All is well at Casa de SEA, aside from having to chip ice out of the driveway.
I’d rather deal with 2 feet of snow than 1 inch of ice.
What the fuck? I paid a fuck-ton of cash for my new gold plated F5 key.
Fucking bullshit.
Cocksuckers.
Delayed by a buddy who claims he lost more helmets in Vietnam than anyone else…every time he hit the dirt the back edge of the steel pot would clip off the radio. He wasn’t about to get up and go looking for it…
I was a grunt RTO for a couple of years at Campbell and he’s telling the truth about the back of the helmet bouncing off the radio. As I recall the front of your helmet would knock your glasses or shades off and whang your nose smartly in the process.
Prick 25?
Good radio but the batteries sucked.
Lots of late night “nets” in nam and if up on the mountains you could talk shit for a hundred miles. Us Signal types would rig high gain directional antennas out of commo wire and 2×4’s.
Yeah it sucked to hump too.
During his AD days, A Proud Infidel MIGHT HAVE sent another Joe to go fetch a PRC (pronounced “Prick”) E7 for commo purposes and ceased to do so after a smoke session.
SFC D may or may not have been the prick E7 that unknowing Soldiers were sent to.
Ahhh, such good times!
EARLY!!!!!!
Dang, I had to go to the POTTY!!!
Fuck it.
Hey Dan Bernath, I hope you’re taking it up the ASS right now!!!!
You deserve it!!!
top 20 and while at work? woohoo ^_^
James Walls, phony UH-1 pilot recently banished me from his FB. I really don’t blame him, I carpet bombed him with some TAH love.
Feel free to drop some friendly “fuck you” posts over on his personal FB.

Forty? or is it farty? Cabin fever is earlier this year. Where the hell is spring?
Cabin fever and being “Farty” are not a good blend, guy. Been there, tried that, and opening the door for air at well below zero hurts.
Just a reminder about three men that lost their lives 50 years ago trying to get the USA to the moon – RIP Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee
I do remember that. I cannot imagine the kind of ending.
For St. Louis folks, the bad one was in early ’66 when two astronauts crashed on approach to St. Louis – they actually clipped the Gemini assembly building at McDonnell-Douglas.
There were actually two planes that day…the other plane decided to come around and try another landing attempt. Ironically, the other plane contained another Gemini crew, Tom Stafford – and Gene Cernan.
Bassett and See… Ted Freeman was another astronaut that lost his life in a training accident. IIRC, a goose had crashed through the cockpit windscreen during a training flight.
Besides the moon landing, the one event I thought was important was the second shuttle flight – the first time in history we had REUSED a spacecraft. I had such hopes that a true space age had begun.
We’re #2 in the space race right now thanks to the JEF’s cancellation of the Shuttle program.
I know what you mean, Jack Swigert was my brother-in-law.
I just now got off the phone with my biological younger brother.
We were born a year apart, but, as he pointed out to me, TODAY, we’re the same age, i.e., seventy years old.
His birthday, and my deceased father who adopted and raised me, is today, Friday 27 January.
My birthday is tomorrow, when I’ll become seventy-one years old.
But, TODAY, my brother and I are the same age.
We both served in the United States Army, and we were both stationed in Germany at the same time, he, as a commissioned officer commanding a transportation company, and me, as a Private First Class on a Signal Corps repair crew.
However, at that point in time, neither one of us knew about each other.
We met each other years later, after both of us were out of the United States Army.
While we were in Germany, we both watched the live television broadcast of Neil Armstrong walking on the Moon.
He was in Grafenwoehr, while I was at Spangdahlem Air Force Base and/or Kaiserslautern.
I reenlisted in the United States Army and went to the old Republic of Viet Nam, but after completing his three years of active duty, my brother was honorably discharged from the United States Army.
The Certified Nursing Assistant that visits me each week, which the Department of Veterans Affairs pays for, brought me a cake and some ice cream, so I can celebrate mine and my brother’s birthdays.
A Community Health Nurse, also paid for by the Department of Veterans Affairs, visits me each week, and Meals On Wheels brings me a hot, balanced meal each day (except weekends and holidays).
The Department of Veterans Affairs issued me a Powered Mobility Cart, and installed a lift for it on the back of my pickup truck.
So, I’m being well looked after and cared for.
Happy Birthday, John, to you and your brother both.
@ Ex-PH2:
Thank you.
Happy Brthday to you JRM, you are indeed The Most Interesting Man of TAH®™!
JRM glad to hear you are being properly cared for these days, it the least we as a grateful nation can do for our elder brothers in arms..
Happy Birthday and have a great weekend.
Happy birthday to you and your brother, JRM!
Happy Birthday. May you stay healthy and have many more.
God Bless!
Happy Birthday, thank you both for your service.
Happy Birthday John. I enjoy your posts a lot.
Happy Birthday…I figured I would wait till after midnight so it would be legit.
Many happy returns of the day!!
Happy Birthday John, and may there be many more.
113 or so.
The sun was in my eyes.
Was wandering aimlessly around the Web and found this.
Still laughing my butt off. 🙂

Keeper.
Speaking of phonetics…
When we were kids my younger brother thought he’d found my dads cigars (Suh gars as my dad would say with his cleft palate) in a glass dish on the cabinet…he was pleasantly surprised to discover SUGAR in there instead….my mom was far less pleased to discover a sugar high 4 year old and a granular mess on her counters…but as the older sibling it was pretty entertaining watching him bounce off the walls for a couple of hours after eating what was probably a cup of sugar….
Boner time: just watched The Donald’s press conf with the Brit PM. He spoke clearly and shoved it up the press’s ass. Loved that he didn’t call on the usual suspects (Fox is the only one I recognized). Well worth watching IMHO.
I watched part of his speech at the Republican retreat yesterday. The dumbocraps in the media have been complaining about his ‘I,me,mine’ stuff, so I kept track. ‘I’ and ‘me’ or ‘my’ were not used particularly often, and only in the context of his presentation. He did use ‘we’ a lot, but in the ‘we the team’ sense, not that royal ‘We’.
This adolescent post-election nonsense is going to go on for a while, but he has a thicker skin than they think he does. You know, it’s winter, it’s cold, there’s no free coffee or donuts, and if they all form a crowd, Starbucks may just lock their doors, just for safety precautions.
As I recall from Obama’s final “speech” he said “I” over 70 times?
The Donald is narcissistic, but his speeches are always “we”.
Hey. The guy President Trump replaced, as you know, is against guns and against the building of a wall at our southern border. Well, he has not relinquished his Secret Service protection, even though they are armed and he is now having a wall built around his Georgetown rental. What hypocrisy? Where?
The presidency pays well for some people. The guy who President Trump replaced is renting a mansion in DC, has a new estate in Rancho Mirage and another palace in Hawaii. Not bad for a two-bit community organizer who still has family whose floor turns to mud when it rains.
Public service is the way to go. I am curious if Barry will take the penalty at 62 or stick it out to 67.
He doesn’t need SS. Here’s some interesting reading on post-presidential benefits: https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL34631.pdf
One good thing is the annual pension equal to Executive Level I, which is currently $205,700.
I am sure they can scrape by on that.
You mean like his half brother who still lives in a dirt in Kenya on about a US $20 a year income? His illegal alien Aunt living in Public Housing while drawing welfare? He never really did shit for them either and to me how one treats their own family is a true indicator of what kind of person they really are.
“The guy who President Trump replaced …”
Oh, you mean SCoaMF!
Thought so.
I prefer either “B. Hussein 0bama” or “JEF”.
73rd! I leave the house for a couple hours and Ex-ph2 pulls a fast one….
Join the fucking club MSG. Losing sucks.
Bullshit.
Cocksuckers.
I’m sorry, guys. Jonn usually posts it around noon his time. I’m just keeping the hours as close as possible to his.
Got the results back from my sleep study yesterday. Apparently I have REM sleep behavior disorder. Normal people’s bodies become paralyzed when they enter REM sleep in order to keep them from acting out their dreams, mine doesn’t.
that’s actually fascinating, do they have any ideas what causes it?
Man I wish I could act out my dreams.
Is it dangerous or just a benign thing?
John Giduck – the turd with a face!
and belly button sized penis!
an Innie penis? I think that’s called a vagina.
Ah shit, Marines are going to be pissed. The Donald said Mad Dog was a great soldier.
Considering everything, I doubt SEC Mattis will take umbrage at the mistake.
The Marines rent space from the Navy for transportation. Otherwise, they’re land sharks.
Our Birthday message read every November 10th and penned long ago By Marine Legend General John A Lejuene mentions Marines having the highest in ” Soldierly Virtue”
The word soldier to many is inclusive of all military troopers. Not sure if that is technically correct, but I’ve heard the word used that way for decades.
I just now received an e-mail from the “VFW ACTION CORPS WEEKLY”.
Here is the URL:
http://www.vfw.org/actioncorpsweekly
The interesting thing about this particular issue is its report that the Department of Veterans Affairs is now going to begin treating infertility problems for veterans and their spouse, AND – – – , this will include financial reimbursement for adoption expenses.
Gosh, gee whillikers, if ONLY they’d had that benefit available way back when I was much younger and still married!
Yeah well what about paying for Vaigra™ for us single guys. We have hopes and dreams too.
It’s cheaper than paying for SSRIs to combat the depression from ED. lol
37 years ago the Coast Guard suffered it’s worst non-wartime loss. 23 souls perished in Tampa Bay:

At the time this post opened, I was on the phone with the deputy that coordinated the arrest of Kyle Barwan. Shit for brains is still locked up, unable to find anyone who can come up with the $1,000 bail, or who will give up the $100 bail fee. That $1,000 is the standard bail for that offense, but the deputy feels that when the prosecutor presents his past convictions, and lack of residential stability to the judge that he will raise it.
I still get the warm, fuzzies, when I think of the Deputy saying: “I told him Frankie Cee and This Ain’t Hell said hello and he about fainted.”
Frankie Cee “in the Clear” wins the interwebs today!
None of his ‘friends’ are willing to put up $1000 to get his ass out of jail. Must have made a positive impression on all those he has been bullshitting. Hey, Barwan, suck it dipshit.
So the sound of your name ant the mention of TAH made him shit, CLASSIC!!!
Kyle Barwan must love “tossin’ salad” in the county poundhimintheass lockup!
I am sure The False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) would post his bail.
He (Phildo) is probably already having withdrawals from Kyle’s ass not being in his face.
Felchers. Both of them.
Elebentyseventyteenth!
I’da been here sooner but I was busy…hittin it.
Rage alert. Scroll down to vid at site. Note: it’s very long.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/01/27/video-caregiver-hitting-woman-94-in-her-care-results-in-arrest.html
If this doesn’t turbo boost your Rage-O-Meter to redline, you aren’t human. I worry about this more and more as the older I get. My parents are well into their 70’s, and I’m not getting any younger. At some point soon, I intend to take the same precautions the lady’s son did. Sooner than later. I hope to pass before I have to endure humiliation like that. I can still talk a big game now, and carry a big stick, but at some point they’ll eventually take all my sticks away. I don’t want to go away humiliated. In my twenties or thirties or forties, good luck. It’s bad enough getting old, even worse feeling it. Bummer WOT post, I know, but my pops is not doing that well. My mums is doing worse.
Not having a good Friday. Take care of your elders. Trust their caretakers, but VERIFY.
‘Ret out.
da fukk…my meter’s pegged
Same here… da fukkkk
A special place in HELL awaits whoever it is that abused the Elderly Lady.
I watched that and was sincerely grateful that my mother had a very good senior assisted care residence to live in until the end.
I hope that caretaker gets staked to a fire ant mound and covered in honey.
Why stop there? Lets rocket that up full to bullet ants.
This just in, SCoaMF’s economic legacy-
“Following today’s extremely disappointing US GDP growth data, we have the final nail in the coffin of President Obama’s economic reign. Not only is the average annual growth rate of just 1.48% during Obama’s business cycle the weakest of any expansion since at least 1949, he has just become the only President to have not had even one year of 3% GDP growth.”
Way to go, Barry!
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-27/barack-obama-now-only-president-history-never-have-year-3-gdp-growth
And the JEF’s economic legacy places him 4th from the BOTTOM in comparison to all POTUS’s.
Hope and Change!
You mean – he’s worse than Van Buren? Wow. That takes some real skill to squelch economic growth down to less than 1.5%. Whatta guy!
According to an article I read earlier this week B. Hussein 0bama is THE ONLY POTUS to spend more on welfare than National Defense.
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/obama-was-first-president-spend-more-welfare-defense
Wow, that’ll explode the head of our resident socialist.
Challenge accepted! We want pictures….
Not even close. I got an SOS call to go enlist a Soldier on the other side of town (an hour away). Apparently I was the only O in range.
Join the “first place losers” group that have been pouting in the corner all day.
Next week, the gloves come out. No more Mr. Fucking Nice Guy.
Game on!
Cocksuckers.
Nah, I’m not crying. It is what it is. I’m just happy to make it into the top ten once in a while.
Yo, Chevalier…
Still waiting for your visit back into the Pineywoods, along with all the paperwork that you said you were air-drying four years ago.
(lays out blocks of cheese to attract the “human Limburger” disgraced Texas State Guard member)
Or are you finally in acceptance that you are nothing more than a crapweasel.
I wonder if there is any relation to Chevalier….
http://www.pnj.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/01/27/cheese-pizza-thief/97158948/
Shout out to Cheva lier! Nice interview.
http://writer-cubed.blogspot.com/2015/04/dennis-denny-howard-chevalier-blames.html
How’s the cheese snarfing, rent-a-cop doin’? What number marriage is he working on now? Still bullshitting people about his phony peeH dee (which is a misdemeanor in the Great State of Texas)?
Chevalier was kicked out of the TXSG after he got caught with his lies. It’s extremely difficult to get a dishonorable discharge from the TXSG (there has to be evidence of criminal charges, not just being a dirtbag Soldier), but Chevalier got one. Needless to say, the TXSG is MUCH more careful these days about accepting claims of federal service and checking on DD214s submitted by applicants.
Mike Connors of 60s/70s cop show Mannix passed the other day. Looks like he served in the Army Air Force during WW2.
Yeah, I saw that. It was right up Hondo’s alley but he’s been sidetracked by life. What I found amazing is that Connors played college roundball for the legend, John Wooden. I had no idea. I was also amazed by something else about Connors. He was married in 1949 and was still married to her at the time of his death.
Amazing story on Fox yesterday about a Campbell MP SGT and his wife. She came down with Hodgkin’s, had chemo, had quadruplets (!), and the Hodgkin’s came back. Their attitude and outlook is a true “feel good story”. Worth watching. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2017/01/27/fairytale-wedding-cancer-diagnosis-then-blessing-military-couples-medical-miracle.html
Yep. And the go fund me account grew to over $1mil during the broadast this morning.
For those of you that follow the ongoing expedition at the South Pole, here are two links. The first is that of the Coast Guard Icebreaker making a path to McMurdo Station, the second is about the delivery that used that path:

As someone mentioned (probably PT) here, Fuckie Schumer said that he and his want a “mainstream” nominee to fill the Scalia seat on the Supreme Court. Sure he does. That’s credible. Anyway, when Harry “The Embalmed” Reid wanted to shove crap down our collective throat, he either used or threatened to use the so-called nuclear option. It’s actually quite complicated but there’s no need to go there. All one needs to know is that with some rules gamesmanship. a super majority can be avoided and a simple majority used. Reid was warned “Democrats won’t be in power in perpetuity. This is a mistake — a big one for the long run. Maybe not for the short run. Short-term gains, but I think it changes the Senate tremendously in a bad way.” That warning and a slew of others did not deter Reid. He had plans. The Republicans were effectively finished. Well, apparently Lazarus was a Republican because they’re back. And the simple majority to confirm a Sup Ct nominee is sitting right there, ready to be picked up. Ta-dah.
Many of us out here also want main stream Justices. We only have a few now.
Maybe Schumer and I disagree upon the definition of main stream. Ya think?
Schumer can want in one hand and spit in the other….
I take pleasure in the Democrats getting nuked in the House.
The Donks should have the “nuclear option” used against them at every opportunity – Reid opened that door when they ran the show in the Senate.
Beat them senseless with it… shove it down Fuck Nut Chuck’s throat!
Yes, the Repubs need to beat them with their own stick at every opportunity. As King Putt once remarked: “Elections have consequences, I won,” and words to the effect that he didn’t care what Republican congress-critters thought about anything he intended to do.
EPA employees need a group hug-
“ProPublica published a story yesterday on the dark mood at the Environmental Protection Agency. According to one unnamed communications official, people are coming to work in tears…”
http://hotair.com/archives/2017/01/26/epa-employees-still-coming-to-work-in-tears/
The Department of Education unavailable for comment.
That and President Trump has said he intends to hold them accountable for the Animas River Spill, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
I love the taste and smell of schadenfreude at any time.
I’m guessing that the EPA’s budget will be used to repay those harmed by the Animas River spill… and the bureaucrats responsible for protecting the Ruby Throated Sap-Sucker are all pissing their pants and hiding under their desks about that thought.
Dahell is wrong with these pubic savants? Cripes. Our tax money is being used to provide these knuckleheads with counseling b/c Donald J. Trump is our president and their boss? Shitcan. Every. Single. One.
Weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Maybe some of the bright bulbs will stage a strike and the Chief Executive can pull a Reagan. If so, I would urge President Trump not to give warning and a 24-hr back-to-work time limit before cutting the cord away.
Perfect!
An update regarding Jonn would be nice. Those antibiotics he must be taking wear you out so I’m guessing he’s not running the halls yet. Are visitors permitted. If so, what’s the protocol for pre-screening (by Jonn, not the VA.) I would love to know. I’d like very much to drop by and talk shit with him. If this is not fit for a public reply, my email is on record somewhere at TAH HQ.
Here’s hoping that Jonn is on the rebound (drinking, smoking and chasing pretty nurses with big boobehs)!!!
All I know is that he was online about an hour ago and Dave Hardin didn’t want to disturb him.
Send him an e-mail, Air Cav.
Didn’t want to disturb him and send him an email. This is what is called conflicted. Will his email go to him or is it being read by the admin?
I don’t know where the e-mail goes, really. Sometimes he answers. Sometimes I just get barking noises from that direction.
*AAAAWWWWWW!* Try not to let this get to y’all as you read it but according to this Canada is REJECTING American snowflake liberals because they’re not considered productive enough to be allowed into their country. It only gets to me because it means we’re stuck with the little shits!
http://louderwithcrowder.com/leftists-moving-canada-deadbeats/
Wow. I’m glad I had already finished my tea, API. That sound you hear is me falling off my chair, laughing.
We don’t want them, either. Think they’ll find jobs?
Fucking hilarious!
I thought Canada was THE utopian society. At least that is what the “media” says.
Apparently Canada took one look at them and said “No way, TAKE OFF, HOSERS!!!.
Well, yeah, it supposedly IS the ideal Utopia. Doesn’t mean they want to change it by allowing our lunatics in to spoil what they have.
Some folks learn from the mistakes of others. Can’t blame the Canucks one little bit for refusing to take in our strays.
“Hi. Hello. I’m here to request asylum.”
“But you’re an American.”
“Yes. I’m a political refugee.”
“Were you imprisoned for your political beliefs?”
“No.”
“Were you threatened with imprisonment, tortured, or threatened with torture, or were any of your family members?”
“No, but…”
“Turn this car around right over there (pointing) and get the hell out!”
Ex-PH2 is always after us for recipes, and all mine are at home. So here you go lady – two of my favorite backpacking recipes:
My Biscuit recipe:
Biscuits
½ c flour
¾ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt (or to taste)
2 tbsp powdered milk
1 tsp Crisco shortening
At home mix ingredients in a ziplock bag.
In camp, add aprox ¼ c water, mix, and cook in backpacking oven or fry in lightly greased skillet.
Makes 4 biscuits.
Hudson Bay Bread (From Lipsmackin’ Backpackin’ by Tim and Christine Conners:)
Total weight: 3 pounds
Weight per serving: 1.5 ounces
Total servings: 32 (1 bar per serving)
16 Tablespoons (2 sticks) butter
1 ½ cups sugar
6 cups rolled oats
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup peanuts
At home: In a large pan, melt butter. Add sugar and stir. Add 3 cups of the oats and stir. Heat the honey in a microwave until it becomes a runny liquid (about 30 seconds), then add it to the bowl along with the raisins, peanuts, and the rest of the oats. Mix by hand. Place in an ungreased baking pan (15.25″ x 10.25″ x 3/4″). Back at 350 degrees until golden brown (about 25-30 minutes).
Important: Compact bread by pressing on it with a flat spatula. Allow to cool 10 minutes before cutting. After cutting, allow to cool another 10 minutes, and then flip out of the pan. Let the bread cool completely before wrapping.
Note: In this case, butter is better than margarine – for both nutrition and for storage. Try other nuts, replacing the white surgar with brown sugar, adding some cinnamon, and replacing honey with maple syrup or pure cane syrup, and other variations.
Thank you, Graybeard. Those sound easy to make anywhere, as long as you have a fire.
The Hudson’s Bay bread is made before the trip. As I recall it is about 3,000 calories/bar. Good high-energy food when packing a 70# pack or portaging in the Boundary Waters.
I still need to find my backpacking chili recipe.
I already emailed Jonn about the story, but a (c)rapper and his fiancee kicked out an Army vet from his seat at last week’s Falcons game. He was to be honored as a hometown hero from his seat.
What D-bags.

Pathetic! Typical special-snowflake attitude of so many “celebrities”. One of the reasons I don’t give two bits for any so-called celebrity. I have a life–I don’t need to watch theirs, real or pretend.
I am not surprised by any of this. The ego trips in so many of those ‘celeb’ people are unbelievable. They get a little money, they blow it on junk, and kick people around who might decide they don’t want to be fans, after all. Goats have better manners.
Remember the USSS agent in Denver that posted that she wouldn’t take a bullet for Trump – she was put on paid leave Friday and is being investigated:

can’t wait for Trump to say, “You’re fired.”
Should have happened with her first blurt-out on FB. She can’t be trusted.
