Lots of time in helos. You fall, we haul, saving your ass is our business type stuff. CSAR. CWO3. Sailor mouth. Heffalumps don't surf.
Omnes Una Manet Nox
My shed and shop are still smoking. I've spent the last 24 hours helping fight this fucking fire. And some city clamydia drip, whose house I helped save last night, just hammered on my door to tell my wife my rain tank and diesel tank are illegal and have to be removed.

I had a Sex Pistols shirt on when I took one to the plate that broke a rib and punctured my lung. In triage I saw I was shirtless. I didn't say shit, the corpsman said "we didn't cut the shirt dude" and then I nap napped.

I guarantee yours is zero, boy. Unless we are talking about last call water buffalo. Then you're definitely knocking up triple digits.
Fire now snow. Off to hop in a plow to salt/sand the roads where the fire crossed. Fire brings the asphalt up and makes the roads slick as hell and have already had crews go off the road. I'm 100% running on caffeine and stress right now.
I live just outside city limits but I'm on city utility service. I know where every city council member lives. They are getting a whatever time of day I get home "tax this dick" doorstep show and tell.
Apparently 52 hours with 3 hours sleep is my limit. No shower for me tonight. Going to get 20-30 miles between me and the fire and pass TF out on the steering wheel. Fire jumped my line twice and damn near took a direct helitanker hit. Did work today. Did work.
Update on the county attempt to condemn our homes. Three lawyers are knee deep in the city/counties ass. State district rep now has our Congressman involved. Looking at possible criminal charges.
These motherfuckers messed with the wrong melon farmers.

It's not "their land". It's just where they ended up after every other surrounding Arab nation turned them out a d refused to have them. It's hard to feel sorry for people who truly feel you shouldn't exist at all. Which is clearly how you feel too.

We had to yell to 4 very jumpy Jarheads, who had unloaded through a door on us thinking we were Ali's, "YOU WANT A FUCKIN RIDE HOME OR NOT". Pin drop silence and a very sheepish a quite "oops" was the reply.
Evacuating my house. All live critters safe. Well upwind by several miles. 45mph sustained winds. Fires everywhere downwind.
It's just stuff in danger now.
Shed and shop are gone. Apparently firing up the big sprinklers aimed at the house before I skedaddled helped. No water or gas. Loaned my spare 25kw genny to the local clinic. My 400bbl rain catch system saved my ass. Have about 180' of fence to rebuild. House is good.

The hooka is just gayer than a dick dipped in glitter, TBH. One bottle of basic vodka with a well pour top is Dollar Tree baller AF. Nothing about this dude doesn't scream desperately trying too hard.
Heartbreaking to leave for work today. 5 saw my bag a realized I wasn't coming home tonight. She's afraid that "everywhere will be fire" and I won't make it back home. This, for me, is the worst that has happened as a result of this fire.
Apparently I'm the only guy up here who can drive a 16 speed splicer and operate Gradall. Pulled out of the plow. Off to haul ass to Canadian to cut fire lines along the highway. That fire is still zero containment.
Wife scrolls through media files on my phone looking for a pic I took last year. 30 minutes later she puts my phone down in frustration and says *you're f**king retarded, you know that" and walks off.
My phone it literally full of stupid gifs and memes.
I blame all of you.
Some of the weirdest interactions I have are with Coastal, predominantly Caucasian, Libs telling me how my firsthand lived experience of growing up on two reservations is incorrect and racist.
One benefit of having a reservation go to the same schools we did was we made friends with real life drum hitters early on. The indians in history books don't seem like aliens from parallel a universe when you wrestle five of their descendants at practice every afternoon. They
You animals cheer old ladies being arrested for peacefully praying on public sidewalks to protest the murder of unborn. You're not going to squeeze one single solitary fuck out of me for terrorist simps getting rightfully pinched for trespassing.
Eat every bag dicks, you POS.
To be fair. We, Im a Shoshone, never kept to any of the treaties either. The moment it wasn't working totally fir us. We just forgot we agreed.
The reservation system is an abomination top to bottom. Most tribes would have been better off being forced to assimilate.
I don't "make plans" with my mini. Cuz for the better part of 30 years it was beat in to me that plans didn't get deviated from to the point I get fucking anxiety that makes me "not nice Dad". Frankly, I love the "oh look,a squirrel" approach with the kid.

I'm an enrolled tribal member and am always sarcastically amused when these perpetual white punch bowl floaters have the nerve to be offended on Natives behalf and expect to be admired for it.
I swear to Jesus and Allah and Buddha and the Great Talking Walnut, I legit just saw a black coyote. Even whooped at him and he stopped and turned broadside. It was a goddamn coyote.
Never seen one all black
The lessons this week, boys and girls.
In case of emergency:
1) Have more than one meeting point other than home, name them, know alternate routes to get to them and for shits sake makes sure all in your group know those routes too.
@wayofftheres
Two refineries in Borger. 1 ammonium nitrate fertilizer plant. 2 carbon black plants. Over 500 producing wells with on location storage tanks. Phillips has over 200mcf of above ground LNG storage. This is the fire I just had to evacuate from.
Fixing to have a come to Jesus fight with the county. Got a notification today that they are intending to seize and condemn my home and issuing an order to vacate. Along with the three other in my zoned block.

Literally the only two fucks we natives gave about horses were:
1) Do I have one to use
&
2) If not, where's one I can steal to use.
That's it.

Joe is Establishment. Obama wasn't. Taking on Joe as VP was the price Obama paid to get the Establishments full backing.
Meet Kevin. He literally doesn't know how to dog. He was a voluntary surrender to a vet clinic to avoid animal abuse charges. He is with us cuz we can't not adopt broken animals. That's a full size pit head on corgi length legs. He looks like cartoon.
@wayofftheres
We sort of have a routine. Kinda goes like this:
Me: *does something on my property*
City: "hey, you can't do that"
Me: "oh, that's nice" *keeps doing whatever TF I was doing"
These morons don't realize I don't just randomly do shit without understanding code first.
Going to help a friend process 80 meat rabbits this afternoon. Kid was up at 4:30am to remind me to get her from school before I go. She helps with everything but dispatching. That's only cuz she's not quite strong enough to make it quick. That's our training for today.
Ronin Two Blades wished to teach the sword portion of the Agoge today, so of course I indulged him. The Minecraft swords are way shittier than our regular issue, but it was his choice. What class lacked in technique was made up for in enthusiasm. Proud moment.
Apparently I'm the asshole for pointing out to my 86yo mother in law that BBC is not an appropriate abbreviation for Wendys Big Bacon Classic and that saying "Dave's BBC just fills me up" means she's likes getting her back blown out by a well endowed black fellow named Dave.

Long COVID is the condition you get from catching and surviving a relatively benign case of sniffles didn't garner you the attention you believe you are entitled to.
@LouisvilleGun
50/50 coco coir and pearlite. High N2 nutes and 18 on 6 off lighting until your ready to flip that bitch to flower. Flush media every other watering. A SCROG would work well here. Some molasses in early flower will push the terps up. Straight water once you see trichomes.
@thecavedaddy
As a guy who was the victim of a malicious false rape accusation, and would have been convicted if her "witnesses" hadn't have come forward and admitted it was all a fabrication, I don't fall into "believe all accusations" camp. You provide proof or IMO your a lying trash heap.
Bro, our ANG full of coked up GW Bush's could turn your entire group of flying goat fuckers into red spots on the sand of that litter box you call a country on New Years day.
Sit down and shut the fuck up.
