This coming from a good ol' country boy originally from the the cold woods of Northern Michigan who's first car was a boat and has done his fair share of fishing and shooting in his earlier days.

sorry nightblade if u took offence to me calling u crazy, but the way u described urself sittign there i pictured yousamity sam, when i say crazy thats a good thing, i ment it as imagnative , the way u said you were big boy britches cause u shave with the blade it made me laugh. Please dont take it as in insult.

And by old people i wasent talking abotu you guys, I volenteer at a senior centor on friday evens and i have made lots of friends there that are above 65. By no means am i callign you old, i just wanted to clear that up. BTW most of the guys there above 70 or so remember there father getting a straigh shave at the barbershop or him owning a straightrazor.

Okay then........we're good again.I am a little ornery heh.

My oldest was a 61 F250, what a beast, you could drag a house behind that thing! One day I'll get back into the old truck crowd. Ideally with one of these:


But I think in a pinch one of these would do.

'40 is my all time fav, but the cabs are WAY to small for a guy like me. I'd have to seriously Frankenstein one in order to drive it comfortably. The other wouldn't take a pinch for me to drive. I'd heat some rubber in that thing at the drop of a hat.

Thanks.

Ya know...that sounds like a good idea. My daughter's only three, but if I make a habit of that now, maybe I won't have to deal with too many pin-heads when she gets older? A gun might be more effective, but too overt for my tastes. A razor though...that might just do the trick. "Hey Son...do you know who Sweeny Todd is?"

If I tell people that my hobby is shaving they look at me as if I just said my hobby is wedging bamboo splinters underneath my finger and toe nails. But if I tell them my hobby is straight razor shaving they look at me as if I must have crazy motor control skills, and a weird hobby.

Well actually i pictured him with a sxs double barrel 12 ga across his lap, kind of like my bunny gun, and a six shooter on his hip, i was laughing for a good 5 min after readign his post, Im willign to bet hes a good man just liek the rest of you guys,ive yet to come across any bad guys on here they are all nice as can be and i hope noone thinks i any diffrent or that i shouldent be on here

Could'a been worse. You might have pictured him as Elmer Fudd with a sxs shotgun

no thats what i look like when i bunny hunt, i go out and will blow a box of shells and have 2 or 3 rabbits at the most, I suck with a shotgun but yet ive never missed a deer with my 30-06 yet, Im 6 for 6 knock on wood,
