    Excellent. We had a couple of female Scouts @ camp & our "guide" was an ...um... maybe 19 year old? ... that was in the "Inaugural Class" of female Eagles. She had been in GSA & the split second girls were permitted to join, she dropped GSA & humped it to get her Eagle - did that apparently in 2-1/2 years or less. I'd pos rep you 3x if I could. Also, Roxette is 17 now. Burfday is on Texas Independence Day.

    It's like a sideshow party from the 1980's except you get to scroll on by & ignore what you want. Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk

    Yeah, but I couldn't figure out which gun was what.

    Scouting adjacent: My daughter wants to go down to SPI with the youth group for a new church she has glommed onto. I'm all for it, no concerns (even if the wife doesn't want to spend the $$... they are going on a trip to the Galapagos Islands in mid July... it's a holdover from 2020 / Covid delays, etc. & the wife is being cheap). - - - - - - - Anyway. I asked about what the protocols are for 2 deep, etc., what sorta training the leadership has & things like that. My wife looked @ me like I had a baby arm growing out of my head. "This is a church group." As if that makes any difference. I explained that with YPT, we ALWAYS have a minimum of 2 adults if 1 youth / 2 or more youth if 1 youth, etc. & explained about something like going to the bathroom or headed a distance from point A to point B, etc. needs 2 youth together @ all times & she's still coming back at me like this is crazy & I should be more concerned with the weather or sunburn. I explained that any time you have adults in ANY position of authority, bad things can happen. - teachers - sports coaches - clergy (no matter what religion) - Scouts - police / fire / medical professionals This is one of those "Jesus light" type non denominational / mildly protestant church places & I honestly don't know if they have budgeted or even looked INTO the idea of how a program like this should be run in regards to youth safety. She still thinks I'm overreacting. Thoughts?

    Is your fatass S-I-L with you on these line waits? I guess if you're gonna get arrested for murder, it could be worse than cops wearing Mickey Mouse ears.

    1. Deadshank is 100% correct in that the statement of "closed attics void your warranty" is bullshit. It is quite possible your roof was aged before you bought the place. Photo of house? A proper closed attic insulation system is actually BENEFICIAL to your shingle warranty as it will prevent expansion / contraction which can crack or craze your shingles. 2. Be very careful about the roof installation because I have in the past 5 years had 3 houses (1 metal, 2 shingles) where I could not diagnose what the point of fail was for a leak. The foam will hold the water & it ends up showing an interior leak in a place that is alien to the actual penetration.

    We saw a mountain lion on the way out & I stopped @ the Ranger Station to let them know; was wondering if that's a stat they keep track of, etc. Last pic is with Monster; he's now taller than me by maybe 1/2 an inch. 15 years old. I'm probably starting to lose height while he keeps gaining.

    Palo Duo Canyon. Took in "Texas - the Musical". Pretty good stuff. Would return. Skip the onsite "BBQ Dinner" - was horrid. Had a tarantula encounter when we came back after the show & saw 2 of them in the morning when we were packing up. If anyone has intel or stories about the 2 holes in the canyon wall ("was occasionally used by..." or "they once found _____ inside... " I'd like to hear it. 20220625_230618.mp4 20220625_230712.mp4

    With Coral, who ran the equestrian program. She's brushing out her hair with a horse brush that had been used on a horse tail not less than 3 minutes earlier. Riding "Shadow" the black & white paint & then on Mooch again. Last pic, finally got a full salad with cheese, tomatoes (that I again had to cut up), some egg crumbles & the celery returned. 20220624_160241.mp4

    "Cowboy shooting" with Monster + sunset pics. "Spurs" with the fat jaw + "Shadow". 20220624_092218.mp4 20220624_092255.mp4 20220624_093049.mp4 20220624_093845.mp4

    We used my truck daily for both AM & PM saddle moves. Faster / easier than walking them from the tack shed to the paddock. One day on the AM push from the pasture down to the paddock, (horses get turned out in to probably 100 acres of grazing overnight) I found a skull - I am thinking some sort of canine type & that's based on the size & tooth layout. Another horse pic; this swaybacked example is "Mo" & I was not at all interested in riding him but the lighter Scouts seemed to do OK. He responded well enough to their commands & had no interest in speed. Insurance required everyone to wear helmets (& yes, it absolutely IS safer... I need to get my cowboy hatted mentality to wear a helmet when @ home). 20220622_110833.mp4

    Starting with the equestrian pics. This 1st Palomino is named "Mooch". We hada couple of disagreements on day 1, but then wen he realized he had an experienced driver on board, all was well. I'd gladly go back to Colorado to bring him back down. The other Palomino is named "Spurs". He has a busted face - the story is that when Spurs was a colt, he somehow got a broken jaw (no intel on how that happened) & it healed / calcified the way you'll see in the pics. He eats fine, takes a bit (they had a Hackamore on him) & if you knock on it with your knuckles, it sounds like y ou're knocking on a wooden desk... no flinch, no blink. Solid. Then there's the paints = the tan & white is "Tonto". Again, he had to learn that the rider was a rider & not a passenger & all was well. For all of these horses, I did an occasional roll back or weaving around trees to remind them that I was in charge. For all of the trail work, I was riding drag. The black & white Paint was "Shadow" & he was probably the most boring of them all. Mooch was my favorite. 20220621_110757.mp4 20220621_112600.mp4 20220621_145726.mp4 20220621_160038.mp4

    That last video up ^ is Monster taking in the scenery on our 1st evening. Here, the HQ. Then, inside where they have various classes & do Woodbadge stuff as well. Pizza on the 2nd day when we had lunch - the Scout next to me had a very VERY burnt slice of pizza. My inside the tent clothes rod - kept things fairly less wrinkled, easy to reach & also for drying off. I cut little slots in the top of the PVC so the hangers wouldn't slide & notched to ends so it wouldn't roll on the rope. Monday @ 1600, we had an adult shoot around for Trap; I had 4 / 5. Remington Express Magnum 870's. Then some plinking with .22's & over to the axe throwing (1st time for that, prob. 1/3 accurate). Back to dinner with a very VERY suspect "sausage" (was more like a bad hot dog) & more views of my tent setup.

    Dining hall / handwashing stations / picnic benches underneath the main dining hall & Gilwell / showers / adult use bathrooms under the mai building. the elevated area. Canvas tents (no bueno for keeping bugs out). First night's campfire with a "Jumanji" theme. Plenty of lame / Dad Jokes, some camp staff songs that only they could understand. Lots of walking to get wherever you needed to go - I probably did close to 30 miles walking over the course of 1 week. 20220619_194951.mp4 20220619_202505.mp4

    We didn't use the provided canvas tents for anything other than exterior storage. Hiker Direct sells a fold-down cabinet thing & I might get that if we go to camp again next year. It would definitely assist for a long-term camping stay so you don't have to constantly shift & sift through a footlocker. Also, I need a larger dirty clothes storage thing. We could only bring vehicles in for dropping off the troop trailer & then they had to go back to the parking lot while the trailer stayed.
