The callouses on my feet are from propelling/stopping my car, as per lessons from Fred Flinstone........

Isn't a Beta a fish?

I know how to lock the keyboard on my phone and call people and answer calls. I can do other basic things with it as well. I just don't worry too much about the finer details of electronic gadgetry. As long as a machine does what it is supposed to, and doesn't bite me, all is well in my world.

During the last 15 years I have worked on all aspects of top of the line electric forklifts. Could fix anything on them, whether it was electrical, mechanical, hydraulic. Replaced few electronics because they didn't fail that often, but could troubleshoot/repair to that level. I just don't see the point in all the gadgetry. In the last two weeks, I've seen two goobers at school fall down steps leaving a building because their noses were buried in their cell phones while texting. The only thing it hurt on me was my funny bone.......(they weren't injured, but if they had been I would have assisted, but without sympathy)

Seriously, as long as the camera takes a picture, I'm good. I would just as soon not have the date on there at all and mess up my wonderful photography. I can store them by date on a disc or something when I am done taking them. Save file as the date and vacation.

One thing I have truly discovered is that technology, while necessary, can be cumbersome. Keep It Simple, Silly. My exact philosophy. If my wife wants to go 5 places, I plan the route in my head to make it circular, beginning and ending at the driveway, taking into consideration open/closed times and such. Result: fewer miles on the car, less windshield time, more efficient.

I probably don't watch 40 hours of TV a month, so why pay for it? At $50/month, that's over $1 an hour. Not worth it. 200 channels? I can only watch one at a time.....

Its all relative...
and fun.....

Our buddy USA1 is full of useful information......and other kinds, too!!

I knew the date on the camera was messed up, but since I still have to get the kids to set up my cell phone, it just wasn't worth me fooling with.....I would have looked like this after about 1.5 minutes--------

It's Ok to be concerned, I was actually carrying a Stealth Phaser that I beamed down with from the Starship Enterpoop from the future.....

Seriously, though, I was using my daughter's camera and have no clue as to how to fix the date......gotta luv modern technology......

Beretta 92G Centaurian

Label is very readable. It was brand new when I got it. Gildan Activewear is the manufacturer, try this: http://www.gildan.com. I did a web search, and they are definitely a major operation, but everything I saw was single color. This must be an OLD style.

I wish I had more information, so I could order some varieties for myself.......doesn't look promising, though. If you find anything, PM me or post it here so we can all share.

Thanks!

There is quite a story behind that shirt, to be truthful......

The shirt came to me after my father in law passed away a couple years ago. He had more shirts than Carter's got liver pills. When the wife and I were helping clear out the house before the mother in law sold it, we gave MANY shirts to charity, and others that were brand new (still in the package) were distributed to those who could fit them, if they wanted them. I got all the XL's and the other son in law got the L's. I only kept two of the dozen or so, as my 14 year old son is my size, and my daughter wanted some for nightshirts. So they got all the Elvis and others, and I kept the Sponge Bob and the one you see in the pics. My mother in law gets a big kick out of it when I wear them. It reminds her of her late husband and how big a hoot he was. I'll check out the label on the shirt and see if I can get any better information, but I thought you would appreciate the story behind it as well......

Both the shirts get a lot of comments, but there is definetely no blending into a crowd when wearing them........

My apologies for not revealing the concealment at the end. I can assure you it was crossdraw at just about 9 o'clock. Since I haven't yet invested in good leather, it was tucked into my Blackhawk size 3 IWB nylon thingy. Spare magazine in the front left pocket. I don't put the spare mag in the cargo pocket because it has velcro that holds it closed and will take too much time to get into if I need it.

Many thanks to all who have checked out the post! My boys had a good time as well.

I could have worn my bright yellow T-shirt with the Sponge Bob face on it, with my Jughead (from the Archie comics) beanie, but my boys said they wouldn't be seen in public with me dressed like that.......

Just the Beretta, C-dub......Just the Beretta.

The little revolver is one my father gave me. Colt Police Positive Special from 1962. Shoots .38 S&W rounds. Has the RHKP and armory slot number on the frame behind the grip from its days with the Royal Hong Kong Police force. It has some holster wear (quite a bit, actually,) but is still tight. The ammo is expensive, though. The Brits bought a huge number of them for the Hong Kong police back in the day. How it came to my Dad when he was in Little Rock, Arkansas I really don't know. He bought it from a retired Little Rock LEO.

The boys wanted to go play tennis, and the wife said, "Why not go to Walmart and get the Wally Walk done at the same time?"

Hmmmmmmm-----"OK"

Before we left, I asked if she could spot the gun...she said I had a noticeable bulge on my right side that looked like a swollen love handle. I said "That's good, because I am wearing my gun crossdraw on my left side, and what you see on my right side really is a love handle....." She almost fell over laughing....Perhaps its time to hit the gym......

Please excuse the photo quality, it won't win any awards, but the boys had fun taking them. They thought it was a blast, so to speak. Giggling the whole time we were in the store....

Do you think anyone noticed me in the shirt? I was trying to be low-profile. Of course, with a profile like mine, that's not easy......
