Random thought of the moment.

And know that their behavior is rooted in jealousy and envy. Because they either know already, or suspect, that they'll never be man enough to achieve it, and aren't mature enough to recognize and accept their limitations.

Ignore them, for they truly mean less than northing. Or take pleasure in knowing that they deserve nothing less than contempt. Just don't engage them, don't let them derail your path.

Amen! Remember the words of Teddy Roosevelt. Never, never quit.

NSD, remind yourself of the wisdom and advice shared here by these men, they are experienced and dedicated Ranger Warriors. Leave the weak behind you, and do not get caught up in their nonsense, your Instructors are also experienced warriors, they know who is giving 100% and then some, and who is a slackerd and corner cutter. Drive on to your objective.

Of course a Ranger is jolly..... He knows where all the naughty girls live

and most importantly.... those girls know how to dispense medicine

An old prospector shuffled into the town of El Indio, Texas leading a tired old mule. The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town, to clear his
parched throat. He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail.

As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with
a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.

The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, can you dance?"

The old man looked up at the
gunslinger and said, "No son,
I don't dance... never really
wanted to."



A crowd had gathered as the
gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now!" and started shooting at the old man's feet.
The old prospector, not wanting to get a toe blown off, started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody standing around was laughing.

When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.

The old man turned to his pack
mule, pulled out a double-barreled 12 gauge shotgun and cocked both hammers. The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air. The crowd stopped laughing immediately.

The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was deafening. The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin 12gauge barrels. The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said; "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ass?"

The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir... but...but I've always wanted to."

There are a few lessons for all of us here:

*Don't be arrogant.
*Don't waste ammunition.
*Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
*Always make sure you know who is in control.
*And finally, don't fuck around with old folks; they didn't get old by being stupid.

I just love a story with a happy
ending, don't you?

Happy hour would make a lot more sense if it was at noon. I'm usually pretty annoyed by noon.

One thing I wondered about today: If you are in cahoots with someone, does that make you a cahooter?

The other thing I wondered today: just how fucking big exactly is this big fucking rock I'm trying to dig up?

Yes, lots of work that demanded little thought today.
