I like this time at night on HBT

[45_70sharps]

One of my favorite songs sung by Jonny Cash.. Ragged Old Flag. Brings tears to my eyes. Close your eyes and just listen.

If I hadn't posted my last video of the night......

Green Berets by SSGT Barry Sadler.
Beyond awesome.

I used to hunt quite a bit. Now with a 9, 6 and 1 yr old things become much harder. My 9yo and I make it out a few days a year for quail and dove, and I try to go kill some ducks a few times a year. Maybe the odd coyote and rabbit abatement with my in-laws. I miss the days of sleeping in the canvas wall tent and freezing my butt off, eating crappy food and drinking crappy whiskey...wait a minute...

I know the feeling.
I've got a 7 year old daughter and I'm a single dad.

My hope is next year if I bow hunt deer and muzzle load for elk, maybe I can get enough time in.
Long seasons where I can maybe get a chance or two while my daughter is visiting her mom.

Green Berets huh?

Get through the noisy beginning of this next video. I think you'll like it Snaps.

Edit: Forget it. Each time i try to link or edit the link it keeps going back to a Trevofr Hall video.


Maybe I'll try later.

That explains it! I was wondering why you posted the same video.

 

[snaps10]

That and you keep talking to me instead of Sharps. You need a beer my friend!

 

[45_70sharps]

Dan does seem to be on a roll tonight.

Man this thread moved fast! Speaking of hunting again, I was wrong about my dinner. I brought the last of a pork roast with apples and carrots. Tomorrow I'll start working on the venison leftovers. I don't know about you guys, but I'm a freak about finishing all of our leftovers. I go through them very methodically. Honestly, I probably have a little OCD in regards to finishing things. I do it with soap, spices, leftovers, drinks, etc.

 

[45_70sharps]

I try and get through the leftovers, but my daughter is a bit of a picky eater and I don't eat lunch most the time so sometimes things slip by.
Pork roast or venison roast would not be something that slipped by though!

I am also methodical about leftovers... Gotta finish them off... 2 days in fridge, 3 days in fridge... eat through them methodically by date....

 

[BobbiLynn]

You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and know when to run... You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table... there'll be time enough for counting, when the dealing's done.

 

[45_70sharps]

Maybe I need to eat lunch at work more.
That's the best way to go through leftovers.
I do hate to see good food go to waste!

 

[Airborneguy]

Hell yeah, why waste it? Especially if you're not eating anyway.

 

[45_70sharps]

Not a big lunch guy.
I don't stop at work to eat too often.
Probably should though. It's certainly healthier.

 

[snaps10]

I put on about 25lbs my first year on graves. I'm taking it off now and have only been having a small snack during work. It sure is easy to eat a lot on graves.
Been doing a lot of salads and omelets trying to get healthier again. I've been racing bicycles since I was 12. Never had to watch what I eat. This past season was my first season not racing in 20 years and I ballooned up.

Imagine my surprise when I accidentally clicked on Dan's profile and find that not only is he on HBT late at night, but he's a mere 5 miles or so from me!

Well now, you two seem to have a lot in common then!

 

[snaps10]

If he lives where I think then its a perfect stop off for a morning beer on my commute home. How convenient.

 

[snaps10]

My radio hasn't gone off once all night, and I'm so jacked up on caffeine I'm going nuts!!!!

My two oldest kids came home from 3.5 weeks of visiting their mother in Oklahoma late Saturday night, so I didn't sleep much yesterday, spent the day messing around with them instead. Today is my no sleep day (my Friday) so I'm screwed until 21:00. Kids are off school today too. Gonna need a couple brews I think.

 

[snaps10]

Clogging up the thread.

In 11 years, I have only had one zero job night. I'll never forget it because at the very end of the tour, we were assigned a job that another sector was supposed to be responsible for, until in the midst of our cursing and screaming we heard the feeble voice of one of the guys from that sector pick the job up. It has never happened since and probably never will again considering I'm now responsible for 4-5 sectors rather than just one.

Yeah I hate wasting food. Fortunately it's hard to do with three boys in the house. I'll make an absolutely enormous amount of food and we'll eat it one night, I'll pack a lunch, and we'll have it the next night and then it's done.

 

[Airborneguy]

One of the guys from my precinct was sent to Staten Island today to cover some of the hurricane damage posts that we still have. He stopped by my house when I got home. Not the best picture, but:

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Looking at your pic, I have a funny feeling that more than one perp wishes he knew about your military training before deciding to get froggy.

 

[Airborneguy]

I have a, let's say, "presence" when I need it, but only when I need it. My old partner told a few perps to fight with him and not me because he would be able to get them under control without hurting them, but since I don't have the weight to take them right down, well...

 

[CreamyGoodness]

You look like someone. Maybe someone I went to school with or worked with years ago. Not sure but you look very familiar.

A lot of your colleagues in the NYPD don't look physically imposing, but I dont think they'd hire anyone who couldnt throw or take a punch if it came down to it. Also, you guys travel in packs .

 

[Airborneguy]

Well I'm not going to lie, that helps with some of the nervousness early on. But once you learn that a minute in a fight is an eternity, you realize that yourself and your partner are all you can really rely on. If it is still going on when the cavalry gets there, you have serious problems. My days of that stuff are mostly over anyway. Unless I drive up on something, I'm not the first car to get there now anyway. My job is to manage.

 

[BobbiLynn]

I think he is super handsome and that is a great pic! :rockin:

Back in the day when I was much younger.....Much much younger I used to fight about every weekend. Just seemed like the thing to do back then and thank god I outgrew that silly stage. Anyway I think the fight is won or lost in the first few seconds. If you can wade in and flat out get a few good punches in right off the get go it seems like they are stunned enough that you can keep the off balance

And yes I got my butt whupped plenty of times as well :smack:

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Speaking of cops and physical strength, did you see that 12 cops in the South Bronx lifted a taxicab off a man?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Does that happen often? "Driving up on something". Just randomly notice a crime in progress whilst patroling?
