WELCOME TO THE WATERING HOLE

A stress-free place to gather and share whatever is on your mind! A fun place of mutual respect where you can hang your hat, vent, relax and shoot the bull for a while!

Happy Easter to all who celebrate that faith.

To all others, Happy Spring!

Easter symbolizes a new beginning, so it is fitting that TWH has a new beginning as well!
Along with RFC, TWH has been remodeled!

Actually, it can be anything you imagine it to be!

I am happy to announce that due to the increased bandwidth of the new RFC, there is no longer a need for the weekly closing and re-opening of TWH!!! After 10+ years of weekly "flipping" we now get to keep the doors open continuously! My sincere thanks to our moderators, especially Sophia, for making this possible!

I would also like to thank all the members who have kept this boat afloat for so long! We have become like family here, and now have a permanent residence!

While we have many long-time members who have been enjoying the company found in this amazing virtual bar, we also welcome all new folks. Jump right in! The first drink is always on the house and Veterans always have an open bar!
Al The Infidel (Tubby Slayer extraordinaire) is the bar manager.

So, let's get this re-opening celebration going! Set 'em up, Al! Drinks all around!!!

“bucket of bolts“ is what I have after attempting to repair a newer car.

P.S. I thought this was posted several hours ago, but I was wrong.

I live an exciting life. I need to express my inner squirrel.

Just stay out of Al’s yard, we like having you around here.

Nice pic, but I gotta laugh. Instead of the "Blue Bird of Happiness", that one looks like the "Blue Bird of Pissedoffedness." 🤣

Someone is sitting in his happy spot.

Could be worse. It could be "Azz Target." 😜

Sometimes, he sets you up with a big softball that nobody can resist. When he does that it looks like his name should be spelled ”EzTarget”.

No not bats. Not chippies or tubbies. No more hints. FS

@Al the Infidel, look at his userename. That would be my guess.

Gregg

p.s. I am not guessing, just providing a hint for a friend.

Daughter is away with her unit for a month. Had to stop for fuel and DEF.

HMMWV’s didn’t need DEF when I was driving them a few years ago. They didn’t even have a place to put it.

. . . Many hands make light work 🤠 . . .

It helps if one of those hands belongs to an electrician. 💡

Pup I wanted was adopted yesterday. Visits and adoption are by appointment only, earliest I could get was Friday. Oh well, story of my life.

Did you keep your appointment for Friday? You should at least go visit with them, you might find a new friend that you didn’t know you couldn’t live without.

Darn squirrel is mocking me here at the range. My neighbor sometimes braids here blond hair and making her looking just like Lagertha. 😀

Squirrel’s no longer mocking me but decided to take a dirt nap instead. 😀

You have blonde squirrels out there?

I think you have some of the words misplaced, should it be squirrely blondes?

If the neighbor was dying my hair and then braiding it, I’d be a squirrelly blonde. 🐿 Don’t shoot me Al.

11 am this morning a knock at the door, two friends from the range, the broke a couple of screws off in some antique looking scope mount. They said HELP !! I fired up the milling machine, cut out the broken screws and retapped the part, I called, they came back and were thrilled. They said they will drop off some pulled pork, when the pig is done cooking. . . .

Tell them to stop at one broken screw next time.

With set up and set up time, I actually prefer multiple broken screws, the first one takes a lot of time, the second or everyone after that is a lot quicker.

I understand that, but if you don’t have the proper tools to do a job without breaking stuff don’t keep breaking stuff because someone else can (maybe) fix it. What if they had slipped and gouged the receiver or stock. I prefer to break the least amount possible.

I understand that, but I don’t know if they broke them, was a gift that way, or bought that way. Did not really care, they asked me to fix, I’m now actually sorry I posted this, from now on, I’ll just be quiet.

Jack, accept my apologies to you and your friends. No insult was intended. Since we share an interest in firearms my comment was made concerning keeping them as nice as possible. If I find myself getting over my head, I stop and go to the local gunsmith. It’s cheaper in the long run. I’m glad your friends can come to you for help. I think that communication on the internet is more difficult than just typing the words, meanings get lost or misunderstood. If we were face to face sharing a cup of coffee and a Mountain Dew we would understand each other.

Gregg

P.S. I enjoy reading your posts, especially the ones about Ajax. Good luck with the house that is closer to your daughters home. GP
