Good morning everyone.  I have the grandkids again today so this is just a short drive by.  Last fall while my wife, a friend, and I were sitting in my backyard, about 15 of these bird drones flew over my house.  They made a 90 degree right turn, flew down two houses and circled like buzzards.  I'm guessing they were about 250 to 300 foot up in the air.  One broke off from the group and flew down over us and circled.  I went inside to get my camera, but it few back to the other drones before I could get back outside.  I took a photo, but they just look like little dots.  They were quite, and all black.  They then few south for about 1/4 mile, and started circling again.  None of them ever flapped their wings.  Here's the closest photo that I can find that looked like the shapes we saw.  https://www.geek.com/news/silent-running-uav-looks-like-a-bird-capable-of-invisible-surveillance-1552049/

Hey BD!  Another great Bad Dad story.

It was the NSA, keeping tabs on Dad.

Good morning guys. 70° and wet. EPC 2nd and coffee. Going over to the lady's house and try to put together some fancy pool ladder, then I have to load up the archives display for setting up tomorrow so it's in place for Saturday.

Mornin, Deano... How were you getting in and out of the pool before? Standing on a lawn chair?

One of those cheap ladders that came with the pool.

Oh, I see... you said "fancy"

ladder on hold, raining and buggy as all getout. sorting my archives display. I have a hell of a mess to sort from the guy before me.

Sloppy seconds.

Pretty sure that's what the lady and the redhead are getting.

Yeah, but Dean's good about cleaning up when the job is finished.

12 Honest Men ready to light

Thought seriously about ordering a second Marlin rifle. Talked myself out of it. I'm thinking there will be a lot more firearms deals to come in the next few months.

What more than a 45/70 do you need?  Got an old trapdoor Springfield carbine.  Lots of fun to shoot.  The Army issued a 45/70 cartridge that was in effect a 45/55 because the recoil of the full 45/70 was too much in the lighter carbine which is what I shoot.  Nothing like a big ol' cloud of black powder smoke.

Hmm...inspiration for when I finally get home tonight. Which will be late due to youngest son's band banquet.

You should get a new rifle and donate that old trapdoor to me. Out of the goodness of my heart, I'd give it a good home.

Honest politician is an oxymoron.

Well, Huey Long was pretty honest, as politicians go. "I appreciate your concerns. Write them on the back of a check and I'll make sure they are addressed."
