Greetings everyone. Just wanted to post a quick note to say hello, as I'm new to the board. I learned of this board from a poster in GlockTalk.<br><br>I am a police officer with a small township in northeast Pennsylvania. I have also been a member of a local search and rescue team for 8 years (but currently not active for various reasons....mainly I don't want to be affiliated with any of the local teams). I was an EMT, but my certification ran out and I never got around to renewing it. And I've been a volunteer FF for 6 years.<br><br>I am always interested in survival and preparedness issues and topics. I look forward to meeting and discussing with everyone. Hopefully I can relate some valuable information, but more importantly, hopefully I can learn a thing or two.<br><br>Thanks for having me.<br><br>Brian<br>

Bravo, welcome to the forum. Please edit the slogan at the bottom of your post. There are ladies and children present.

Bravo8<br><br>1. Welcome!<br> <br>2. Chris is right re your signature motto, but still ROFL<br><br>;-}}}<br><br>John

John, Political correctness implies both a right and a left wing. I offer the example of the goose, who ,lacking one or the other soon becomes cooked.

Chris,<br><br>OOPS!<br><br>Does that mean that my goose has been cooked?<br><br>Anyway, Chris, I've never said anything against having a left wing; I've always been too ashamed to ever admit having one.<br><br>Chastened village troglodyte now skulks back to cave, never again to laugh at anything political (no matter how hysterically funny it might seem).<br><br>John<br><br> P.S. I'm still ROFLMAO<br><br>OOPS! Sorry. Won't let it happen again. (Arduously contorting face to suppress laughter).<br><br>

John,by all means go ahead and laugh. If you don't, politics will bring you to tears. Above my monitor is a B/W photo of two men posed at a future park; Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir. That represents my politics and puzzles everybody.

Chris,<br><br>TR has long been one of my heroes too. And I certainly have no quarrel with your esteem for John Muir either. Their vision & work pioneered in our conservation programs. We are very fortunate to have had such leaders.<br><br>I also really appreciate your sense of humor.<br><br>John

yeah ok chris, childreen are present. ladies? <br>-james

Yes, children; and people from all over the world with different religons, political philosophies and life experiences. Now we can become another good old boy cyber club spelling California with a K,exchange ground squirrel recipes and fume about former presidents and how prone the Chinese gun you bought to defend our free economy is to jamming. Or, we can learn about wilderness and urban preparations.

You mean it isn't spelled with a "K"????

Chris, I was just cidding, er kidding...

OH BOY! New options. I didn't know we could do all that. Only problems are I didn't buy a Chinese gun, & my guns don't jam. But the other parts sound great!. <br><br>Thanks for the suggestions Chris. <br><br>;-)))<br><br>John

Collect approximately 12 ground squirrels. Skin, dice ,cool and marinate in a california wine. Heat one 14" dutch oven to a temperature of 350 degrees ( if you cn hold your hand @ 4" over a dutch oven that is 350 .) Add bacon leavings ( or extra virgin olive oil for Kosher) potatoes, carrots, onions rubbed in freshly ground black pepper and cook until a fork slips in and out. Add squirrels and pour remaining wine down throat. Simmer @ 1 hour and serve.

Chris,<br><br>1. What time should we be there for dinner?<br><br>2. Be sure to start with a magnum of P.R.K. wine. <br><br>3. Don't forget to include some extra squirrels & wine for yourself.<br><br>4. As you suggested a few posts ago, & in my whiniest cyber voice, 'Do we have to do it in the P.R.K.?'<br><br>5. Boy I can't wait till we start fumin' on those former presidents.<br><br>6. I love the new forum sound.<br><br>7. ;-}}}<br><br>John<br><br>

Wait, Wait, Wait CHRIS(KRIS)<br><br>You have confused California with West Virginia. In California, you prepare the vegan quiche (quite a trick), sit around in the hot tub waiving your peacock feather engaging in psycho-babble challenging the sexual orientation of anyone with a firearm(made by any nationality), and directing your chauffeur to warm up the Bentley so that you will be on time for the demonstration against the greedy capitalist pigs.<br><br>Of course in West Virginia, the main topic of discussion centers upon the puzzlement over why the Palestinians think it is such a great deal to end up in paradise with 72 Virginians.<br><br>Get involved, the world is run by the people who show.....ME THE MONEY! <br><br>go figure<br>Robb
