Love is now gone, I'm sure to think.
I close that chapter in my book,
Because, LOVE STINKS!"

And,
Tomorrow morning's potential weapon purchase fast approaches. Time to rest before for the need to be acute.
I'll check my weapon once again before I sleep...having already field stripped it 3 times to clean and oil it.

Goodnight all.
(Just kidding. Y'all know that I never sleep. Security is what I'm about. I watch over you while You sleep. Me and others keep you safe. And when you awaken in the morning, to have your "Double Latte" and meet at the water trough, to talk about the football game or some other trivial event that you consider to be important, you have no idea of what our Service Members have done to protect you throughout the night...But I know. Because I have done that. For you.)

How about you set down that double espresso and think about how your life is better because of Veterans and Service Members like me who pledged to give their life so that you can enjoy Freedom?
Is that too much to ask?

Scott



RIP Warren.

Scott, years ago I was good friends with the Civilian Range Officer ( I went looking for him after Iraq and he had passed) I went to my annual 9mm shoot. I had brought Clear Karo syrup, red powdered koolaid , a sponge and ziplock bag. Pour it all in the bag and mix it up it’s fake blood. He allowed me to tape it to my target. All the range guys gathered around. First shot, center mass, target erupts bleeding down the chest. Beautiful reactive target. His crew all said I was mad...... I asked if I could put a picture of my ex wife on the target. Of course I was kidding. He said “ isn’t the gushing blood enough!” He said “ you need help”. One of the Range officials stood there and stared. He said “ man that looks to real!” Hahaha try it, reactive target!!! I bet Johnny has some good ideas for targets..........,

Folks,

I've always been a big fan of Rod Stewart maybe it's because we both share celtic roots.

This was a new song dedicated to his father for encouraging him during his early career "You Can't stop me now".

Notice the lion rampant in the background live from Stirling Castle in Scotland....I'll try to track down the family crest later.

 

[bill from lachine]

Folks,

I managed to track down a copy of the family crest of the lion rampant.

Folks,

Bought those 2 long guns.

One was a breach load Rossi .410 and the other was a Marlin .22 bolt action.
Paid $100 each.

Picked up a box of .410 shells and might go shooting tomorrow.

The lady that I plan on skydiving with this Spring, is a "tattoo addict.



I messaged her and mentioned that I'm no longer a "tattoo Virgin."

She said that tattoos are addictive and I agreed.
I already have my next tatto planned.

It will be the Unit Crest of my European Service.
3/71st ADA.


With script below,
"3/71st ADA.
Dallau, Germany."

Placed below my current tattoo....
To always remind me that I am just one of many that will always be there to protect and defend....
And, the solemn oath given years ago that has no expiration date....

Best,

Scott

When one vows to protects America,
Surely one serves proudly....

"And on the next day, the Lord created the Veteran.
The Hero who pledged their life to protect and defend their fellow Countrymen."

My Friends, the Lord created me.

I am always there. I never sleep. I'm always vigilant.
You can sleep soundly tonight while I am on watch over all.
And I'll protect those who are under my jurisdiction......
Years ago, before Military service, I attended Kansas Bible College.

I learned about what it means to be a Christian.

I also learned that I may find adversity....Daily.....

I eventually found truth in my llife.

A hard road that I've thus traveled...
But one that I will share with others to see their success!

Scott

 

[AU24K]

Oh, yeah, them hot boiled peanuts are simmering again!
Y'all know of my proclivities....

And, I'm going shooting tomorrow.
I've invited Tristan to come along.......
Perhaps I can teach weapon safety....

I wish that I had a LAW or a half dozen grenades....

Ah! for just a few hundred M60 rounds....you know, belt-fed....fired hip mounted,
But, I have only..
.22, .410 and 9mm. Sheesh....

Searching for wrenches and sockets at a local pawn shop,
today, I saw a .45/.410 Judge." $500.

Damn!

But,

Is the price worth it?
Yes. Absolutely.
A beautiful nickel package.

Holster?

Maybe....

"Gee, Scott, what does that mean?"
"Well, son, have you ever been on top of a mountain when the sun rose?
Have you ever been a player when love knows the score?

Been there. Done that. How about you?
A College production that I was involved in....
As a teen when I was just 16 years old....
"Annie, Get Your Gun."
I love the stage and can perform any role required. Hence my military service....Dig?

Shall we get along here, you ignorant asses?`

I'm sorry. I MEANT DUMB-ASSES...!

And, are there any who may reply?
Are there any those who are are.. dumb-asses?
Willing to reply?

Yeah. I know you by name...

What have you to offer for life?
Do you give a damn?
What have you to offer?
For life?

Again, I provide that you may find objectionable.
I may piss you off. Tell me why.
Let's have a discussion, shall we?

I went to a local jeweler, to inquire about repair for a gold necklace. The charlatan said at least $25 for a small screw.

I laughed in his face and said that he was a thief.
I then found a screw for an eyeglass that I had and repaired my gold necklace myself.
Jewelry dude can kiss my a$$!

I've always found a way to fix whatever was broken.
In Germany, I was the "go to guy" to repair and appraise jewelry, watches, whatever.

I apprenticed with a jeweler at a young age and was paid in loose diamonds...
Come see Scotty...Dig?

One night in Germany, I found need to draw a weapon. My M16.
And three magazines.....
DAMN!
My life expectancy?
About 30 seconds....
The Red Army Faction!
Yeah, Scotty was locked and loaded....
You want fire?
Come get ya some!
The terrorist were on the move,

And,
I cannot discus the issue any further.
Nor do I want to. Sorry....
Let's just say that all turned out well...
Be healthy, my Friends.

Scott

From a long time ago, I have often found myself living on the edge.
Sometimes, living my life to the point of dying...
Have you been there?



What can one's life mean?
I am beyond suicide.
I am one to prevent suicide.

I have faced death's ugly face and spit at him and laughed.
Will you have the strength as I have shown?
Life is light. Show light in every dark corner,
Show light in your life.
Show light in my life.
Show light and live!

Scott

Yes, I have taken another's life.
It is something I never wish to do again.
When you take somene's life...
You take all that they have.

But,
I have SAVED A LIFE...
Surely, it all equals out, right?
If I had to do the same again, to protect myself and America, Yeah. I'm about full auto....
I'm a Vet, an American Soldier.
I will kill again if needed.

That is my curse to consider....for the rest of my life....
Perhaps you now understand my sleep problems...
When one lives on the edge, sleep is a sometimes a Friend....
Most times not....
I can never sleep soundly....
Here it is, 0500 and I'm on point....Dig?

I hear you snoring. A Sunday morning...
I watch you go to Church and protect you.

I am the Veteran that you depend upon....`
You will worship, as I do, your God this day. And know that I and other Vets are there to protect you.

Because you are an American!

God Bless you and God Bless America!

Blind Man: Gettin' better, soldier?
Inman: Seems that way.
Blind Man: I wouldn't hurry. The war's almost done.Don't need your help to lose it.
[chuckles]
Inman: Been meanin' to ask you, where'd you take your wound?
Blind Man: Oh, before I was born. Never set eyes on a thing in this world. Not a tree, a gun, or a woman. Put my hand on all three, though.
