new each and every day.

See, i may have used Bartering in the wrong sense.. I meant it as "Skipping" classes... bartering classes.. skipping classes?

Do those not work?

Are you taking bartering classes because you didn't do so well in MacroE? It is still a form of economics.....

Black block letters on a white background?
Sign about two feet long, 6 inches high, attached to the side of the building?
If so, would bet CCC was the name of the tower that was there before.
We have a sign on most towers, which became control points when CTC was installed, giving the name of the tower.
Try a figure out why a electrical bulding beside the tracks here simply said GLASS on it, had to ask a dispatcher friend about it, turns out the tower that was there protected a set of tracks into the Budwiser brewery, where the bottles were delivered, hence the glass track, and GLASS became the tower name.
Tower long gone, steel electrical cabinet there instead, but still called GLASS as a control point.

Skeet is kind of crunchy...kind of a clay taste to it....high in minerals though......like British food, it's the sauce that really makes it edible...

I'm not sure, but it probably needs to be ended. It's time has come and gone. If it is a military thing it is already under reveiw for replacement by a JACCC(D). Joint Advanced CCC (Deployable).

Black powder ...good...but generally I like to see what I shot within a reasonable timeframe afterwards.

Now he reads!


I used to also...then I got sentenced to California where everything I like to do is illegal, or cost prohibitive.


Dan what the Freak do you like to do?

Yes killing people out there is illegal, busting lights is illegal, spraypainitng is illegal, putting a firecracker in your teachers tale pipe (of her car) is illegal, RUINS all your fun, doesn't it?


Well I like to hunt...but there isn't much space to do it, and what is available requires a bunch of rules and red tape and reservations....or you gotta join a club and pay big $$ for what they call hunting but I call slaughter.....I do get to go shoot skeet occasionally.

I'd spend time working on my beat up pick up, but the garage is too small and community association frowns on me puttin it up on blocks in the front yard while I strip to the frame. I could rent a stall and leave it on base and do the work..but that would mean a 30 mile drive every time I wanted to work on it.

I like to ski.........well I guess there's Big bear a few hours away, I just have to get off my lazy butt and do it. I like to ride the ATV..I do that some here to tell the truth.....

I go watch my kids play soccer (futbal) and softball, spend time working on model trains, continue the renovation a 30 year old "fixer upper" house...that takes most of my free time.

And I live vicariously through your postings........but mostly when I'm supposedly working..... and when I'm not trying to think of clever puns for Mook...

You see..before I lived here, I was stationed in Maine...and life was simple and good....and there was plenty to do right in the back yard......and it didn't take alot of rules, money or time to find it....I even had a rail line 150 feet from my back door...and a train even ran on it once a week or so....Maine was the nicest place I've lived......except for home sweet home Texas....so naturally, the Navy found out that I liked there and sent me to the exact opposite corner of the states....as far away as I could go and still be in the lower 48.....so that's what I mean when I say I've been sentenced to CA[:(]
What does skeet taste like?Maybe it's better with that "CCC"brand BBQ sauce on it.[;)]

Not sure about "CCC" but "CC" is often used for "Close Clearance" on some railroads.

Be glad he's got a Black Powder book and not a Black Powder Magazine!

I'm looking forward to reading what's on the house (you may leave out any lines that begin, "For a good time, call...")
