Since he figured out how to use a spatula, I figure that he earned the right to eat that piece of bacon. I have done some things to prevent him from going that route again. He is too smart for his own good.

You two guys have some smart dogs....ever think of getting them involved in politics? There's a party in power I'm sure your dogs could beat...

Speaking of beat, I'm going to bed.

Jay..you won two pages in a row....funny how you have been absent and show up just to win a page.

What do you want for a prize......I decided I'm going to start giving Pillers stuff away. Pitchy is cleaned out.....

Piller...you have any cold weather gear Jay could use?-----006

I have 3 'LABratories' in the house' Claro will steal food if given the chance. She likes food so much that when she eats and ya listen closely you can hear the stainless being licked out of her stainless steel dish, she doesn't miss a crumb. I don't give my dogs human food other than fruits & veggies, they even eat lettuce!
Raisins/ grapes are also bad for dogs! Grapes were perfect for giving small pills to dogs until I found out they were bad.

Well it's opening day of trout season, I've got no ambition to go, think in all the openers of the past I've fished maybe 3 openers.

Well......my day has been taken up by other people but in reality I tell them I'm there when they need me...it's just two of them happened to call on the same day.......neighbor needs me to unload a tree from a trailer with the mighty Kubota.....

Then my daughter calls and I need to drive the mighty Kubota 1.8 miles to pull out some shrubbery .....and of course take the trash with me...she doesn't want her precious yard with no unsightly dead shrubs......Latwan Six on the way!

Forgot my phone when I left for work last night. That was a long night. :D
Kid sent me a pic of a squirrel and some sheds he found. He is living the hillbilly dream up there.
Ammo shortages here are nothing compared to he has on Kodiak, yet he is in the woods most every day hunting something. "Gettin by" is something that has become a lost art in this country. In Maine, it was an artform for generations. My grandparents on my mother's side had it honed to biblical proportions.
Guess the kid inherited it too.

Hey Jay...what's happening bro? Ole 6 toad me to see what your doing.......yep......"getting by" is a lost art and I'll give you an example that happened yesterday.........ole 6's daughter called him yesterday to ask him to bring the trailer over so Ole 6 fired up the very very mighty Kubota, hooked up the trailer and drove 1.8 miles over to his daughter's......

Old 6 was laughing so hard he messed himself telling me how he had a line on BMW's, Volvo's, and Mercedes Benzes lined up behind him because the winding roads makes it dangerous to pass on the other side. Anyways, he gets to his daughters in this uppity neighborhood and a pile of 2 x 4' s was waiting for him.....18 to be exact....all pressure treated wit the tags still on them. Her other half do t want them around because they are dirty.

Ole 6 just got done powerwashing them to new condition...took him a half hour...

Oh, she pulled out some "dead shrubbery" with the balls of dirt still on them.....seems the last owners planted some nice azeala bushes last fall and the leaves haven't come out yet on em....good ole 6 just replanted them on his yard....

That's "getting by"-----Birdman and Ole 6's right hand man.

Haha love it!
Them 2x4s are about 1200 bucks with today's prices. It's insane! I see a picture from a home depot somewhere that had 3/4" plywood for 90 bucks a sheet! :shock:
What person would build a house today?
I'd love under a tarp before I paid those prices.
Nope.....no way!

Old Jay is gonna "check out" on society. Go back to the old ways.......if it don't kill me. :D

Dang Jay...your right!....I just got on Home Depot's website and 2x4's 8 feet long are going for $142 each! Incredible.....for interior plywood 4'x8' 1/4" thick the price is $187......the cost for making an average sized dog house is $4,674!!!

Anyway, I like to experiment .......last night I found a tick on my head and every time I yank it out it leaves an itchy spot that takes a week to heal...done all the alcohol, hot match, hot tobasco pepper tricks and nothing worked. I even shaved my head one time and stood at an angle while my wife shot one with a .22 and the dang thing had a ballistic vest on!

For real, I had mom smear on a big glob of horse drawing salve....it's black and nasty......sucker was d.e.a.d. today...came right out.-----00 Tick Man

Interesting......as we here in Sixgun Land know next to nothing about medicine what else can this be used for? As I'm most always outdoors last summer I somehow got some chiggers on my butt, near my waistline......excruciating itching.....I rubbed this drawing salve on it and it was gone by the morning. Yea...it's for horses but as rednecks, we here are known to use what's works and screw what the label says.----006

Once again, I lucked out...I knew ZERO about drawing salve and ticks.....I just looked it up and it's an excellent salve for tick bite and other imbedded foreign objects in the skin.....boils too....but I don't get boils, had one back in '73 and I still have the scar from it......ain't dat somethin"...good ole horse drawing salve...ooooooooo.....I can't wait to tell Jay Bird!!!---6

Ticks, yup not an ounce of love for them here. I like to give them a 10-15 second ride in the microwave- boy howdy do they move when being boiled alive! I have the girls vaccinated for Lyme, very hard to see tick on dark dogs.
I remember as a kid my grandfather had a tube of black goo, looked like that drawing salve. He used for everything.

Hey Six have you seen the new 18v /36v Makita wheelbarrow? Yup they have a motorized wheelbarrow! 290 lbs capacity. When I saw it I thought of you ! :lol:

Back at Ft Bragg, we had a Sergeant who was a tick magnet. He would get as many ticks on himself as the entire rest of the platoon put together.

I ended up with one that I remember. I always carried a Bucklite 110 with me. It opened MREs and it dug that tick out.

Electric wheelbarrow? Geeze........not for me as I like to keep my life (except things you can't change) between 1920's-1950's. That means most of the money that comes in stays here and there's no need for going to the gym.

What the heck are those question marks growing out of the ground?

It's crazy this year. Here it is the middle of April and it looks like the Oklahoma dust bowl around here.
Usually my lawn is covered with snow still. I'm worried the fiddleheads will start up and the frost will get em. I think the ground temperature is still too cold for them to come up. Normally it's around the middle of May.

Given how nasty Lyme disease is, how hard it is to treat after the first couple weeks, and the fact that it’s nearly impossible to be sure you don’t have it because the tests have so many false negatives, a lot of people in deer-tick country take doxycycline 100 mg weekly. Check with your doctor to see if that makes sense for you.

With Doxycycline, do use caution with sun exposure for a day or two after the dose. It can make some people sunburn easier than normal. It also is not absorbed well if taken within 2 hours of calcium or iron. It may cause a little stomach upset.

There are some reports of it being taken for bacterial infections by CoVid patients and supposedly the CoVid responded to it. Those are word of mouth cases, and I have not seen anything written down about it. Doxycycline does mess with the RNA.

Funny thing.......I've been working in the swamp digging ditches and I was constantly putting my Redwings in mud that went over the top and the nasty water seeping in. I destroyed 6 pairs of socks and my feet were stained.....each night I'd scrub em with heavy duty soap and bleach then take a shower.

Figured they would be worth at least 2 g's or $200 per toe.---6

That kind of art usually doesn't become valuable until many years after the artist goes to their final reward, ya better get it and hold onto that masterpiece Jay :lol:

My sister was one of the first to get Lyme, it went undiagnosed for years. As a result she is fairly well crippled. One hip replaced, a knee needs to be done, her hands are riddled with arthritis. Lyme attacks the body like nothing else. Another man made virus, this time thanks to the US Army. Lyme and syphilis are almost exactly the same under a microscope.

The deer tick, named after the deer mouse was the original host. IF you have lots of ticks on your property you have a high vermin population. Get rid of the mice and the tick population will drop- can't think of a better way to get rid of mice than a half dozen JRT's wreaking seek & destroy missions on a daily basis- great fun to watch! :D

I've seen that in Alaska there are times when a mild winter doesn't keep the ticks down. Enough ticks to kill moose!

No kidding? I didn't figure they had em in Alaska. We didn't used to here.
I don't think my kid has em on Kodiak.

I don't have em around the house luckily. It's dryer than a popcorn fanny burp around here. Can't even grow grass. Very sandy. They supposedly like it a little more damp. That's some of why they are causing so much devastation here. We are still learning because they are a new problem. I did hear that Maine has the highest Lyme rate in the country though. Probably cause it's mostly rural.
Know it ain't what you wanna hear, Gunny, but we have 2 cats that keep the mice controlled. Dad shoots all the squirrels, but bats are another story. Never can completely get rid of em seems like.

Hey...hey...it's 10 minutes before high noon and you guys are talking ticks...we get LOTS of those little buggers....I had Lyme disease about 20 years ago and if it was not for MY INSISTENCE I'd be crippled up...hence, my distrust for most physicians.

Nobody knows a human body like the one who occupies it.

My skin broke out in severe hives on 90% with terrible itching.....so bad I went to the hospital and the doc told me it was poison ivy...I told him "no, it isn't, I know when I'm near poison ivy. I think it's Lyme disease Doc as I read where it mimics other diseases".
""No..no..no...was his answer, "IM the doctor here and your nothing but a peon factory worker low life". Mmmmmm.(I put that last part in for laughs).

For real, I insisted so he tested me and it came up positive......good thing as we all know of people who are bedridden because of it.

$2,300 for all those guns huh Jay? Nice highway robbery! '92's in takedown form are the rarest of the breed....

Well, I have to go to the "tick inspection station". Down the road we have a place where females are encouraged to be inspected for ticks. I'm the chief inspector and Joe Biden is my right hand man.

Re: Chairman of the.......politically incorrect

Post by AJMD429 »

I remember in medical school they were teaching us to use ten to fourteen days of Amoxicillin 250 mg three times a day for stuff, and that if it didn't work "the patient has a virus" and no other antibiotic made sense.

However - that dose is hard to comply with (twice daily is about all you can get people to reliably take), and is low enough it allows some bacteria in tissues with low levels to survive (breeds more resistance than a high dose), and if the immune system is intact, it should take control in a few days with most minor infections, rendering the antibiotics unnecessary. So I reasoned that since Augmentin XR 1000 mg, two, twice a day (4,000 mg Amoxicillin total) worked but irritated stomachs due to the clavulanic acid, I'd give Amoxil 500mg, four capsules, twice a day, for five days, and it worked really well without setting up resistance or causing side effects.

In addition, then when a patient did show up after the pathetically-low dose Amoxicillin, and was still ill, they would often not be happy with the "well then it is just a virus and you just have to tough it out" approach. So they'd get prescribed something different, "in case it is an 'atypical' bacteria". It was mostly done for 'public relations' but was done all the time. Of course while in the 'real world' the other antibiotic (often doxycycline or azithromycin) was given just to pacify the patient who was angry they'd waited for an hour and a half to be seen (as if how long you wait somehow should determine the treatment :roll: ), in the 'academic world' the teaching was that this was medically inappropriate, because "antibiotics can't kill viruses".

However - I remember back (waaaaaay back, in my case) in pharmacy school that while the Amoxil slips defective 'bricks' in the cell-wall, so when the bacterial cells divide and build more wall, they explode [ :twisted: ], the other antibiotics mentioned act at the ribosome to 'slow down' protein production and growth of the bacterial cell. Thus they are less potent (they 'slow down' instead of 'kill' the bacteria), but.....since viruses DO use ribosomes, these antibiotics may in fact have some (albeit limited) antibacterial activity.

Additionally, as an analogy I used elsewhere, complex molecules have many features, just like that complex Leatherman or Gerber Multi-tool in your pocket may be something you mostly use for the knife and screwdriver, it also has a pliers and wire-stripper and can opener. MANY (if not all) molecules we use as 'drugs' (whether pharmaceutical or 'natural') have complex-enough features that we may mostly use them for ONE thing, yet they are capable of many OTHER things. Thus ivermectin is mostly used to kill parasites like scabies, yet we find out it stifles coronavirus pretty well.

You guys think I'm loose in the head....I'm actually intelligent with very good organizational skills.......I don't pay anybody to do anything around here........see those toenails?.......that would give the insinuation that I'm not in the water with both oars.....

You become where you came from and what influenced you.....Saturday Night Live was our favorite show....in the seventies and that's all they had.."extreme comedy" not the trash that's on today......Johnny Carson and Jay Leno were equally crazy funny.......

John Belushi was one of the funniest people I've ever seen...the Samurai Chef ...or something like that...coneheads.....Garret Morris would have me doing somersaults in the living room doing the skit from 3 Mile Island.....I still see him coming out of the "nuclear reactor" all glowing green with a mop bucket when he was ordered to clean up the water.... :D

Doc,
Your one of the best doctors I've ever "known". You freely give out your knowledge with an explanation which is something my doctors don't do.....they just say, "take this S and call me in the morning".

After being to 9 doctors and 3 ENT's for my Meniers disease and finally curing myself with information from the Internet instilled a great distrust in the medical field.....

I can say the same for dentists.....$2,000 and a two years later they still had to pull the tooth....for 10 teeth....I KNOW I had $15,000 wrapped up in my mouth when $15,000 was equal to $40,000 today......every month it was something different.....pain here..pain there.....always believing the dentist and "doing what I was told"

One day I walked in there and said, "get em out Doc, if you don't I'll find someone who will."------006

I seriously miss the great comedy of the past!

Doc Andy just gave an excellent explanation of why things are often overlooked, and why it can be difficult to be treated for anything unusual.

I have heard from Doctors that you must look for the typical and treat that. If you are in a pasture and hear hoofbeats behind you, you know it is a horse and you do not need to look around. Not to be snarky, but lots of places now have exotics, and that kind of thinking can get you injured. There are Longhorns around here that can and will injure or kill you just because you are in their territory. There are 1,000 pound African Antelope species which are now common. Just turn your head and look, if only to rule out the chance that it is something which wants to stomp you into a bloody mess. Telling a patient I know better is not always the best answer. Gather information. A few simple questions such as asking if anything unusual has happened recently can really help.

Yup. I'm distrustful too.
Most doctors offices around here are assembly lines. They have to get X number of people through to cover their overhead. They have no time to know their patients, and before they could, they are gone. There is no stability.
I had the doctor that was there when I was born until he retired. Nothing really since. The whole thing has turned into another government and insurance company controlled racket.
Doc AJ and piller are a different breed. Just don't see that anymore. I trust you guys more than anyone around here.
I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say we appreciate all your advice and help.

Just picked up my rear wheel at the Harley shop. Had a new rear tire mounted and balanced. Zoey and I rode o er in the Jeep. It's an hour each way. Got to throw in some new brake pads and put the wheel back on.
Hey! Give e me a break! I gave that 2300 twenty years ago. I never got deals like old Six!

Ill second that, Doc and Piller are our own private medical staff- thank you both!

My favorite from SNL was when Dan Aykroyd did the Julia Child skit, he cuts his hand and the blood is spurting all over- im laughing just thinking about it! Belushi is, was and always will be a comedy GREAT!!

2 yards of concrete today. Whew, im beat! (from watching the driver back into the site while he moved the chute into place & off load) :D

Let's not forget Dr. Old Savage.......he has given me plenty of info on what to do to keep my ear tubes clear and draining.....

YOUR beat??!! this 66.8 year old Teamster has been in the swamp hoeing, digging, and cutting roots all day...non stop....I had to get this one ditch done at least 8" deep and free flowing.......then each day or two I'll go out with the hoe and pull up the little "waterfalls" and restrictions..........bottom line ....I need to get it about 18" deep to change the underground water table.

I'm pulling up centuries of muck......my hoe attachment invention works better than anything you can buy...mom told me to patent it.....for real, I figure it would be about a $7.95 cost and a million of them would be sold overnight but I don't know to do such things nor can I afford to chance my savings. ----006

Fred....be careful with Jay's invitation......he may say something like this, "Hey Fred, when you come, bring some guns and we will go shootin'." You respond by saying , "OK, but I'll have to use your guns." Also, keep things like your wallet, credit cards, anything in your glove box or consol, spare tire, old underwear, etc well hidden.

You guys see those animals in MN.? How much longer is society going to put up with this stupidity.....every time some hoodster gets shot they just tear everything up. These "protesters" are just proving to the world how stupid we've been telling them all along. :D

You’re probably destroying ‘wetlands’...!

The virtue/signaling, urban, apartment-dwelling, never-read-Thoreau, never-field-dressed-a-deer, never-missed-a-paycheck to spend time actually WORKING to protect ‘wetlands’ SNOWFLAKES will be horrified, and have to go to their safe-spaces and color some coloring books, and suck on pacifiers now....!

Don't you listen to him!
You been here , so you know how hospitable and honest good ole boys we got here.
You can trust me.......really. :D


Yeah. I just don't get the riots. What does everyone just stand there and watch for?
I mean, someone tries to burn my house or endanger my family............
Well, let's just say old Jay has another side people don't want to see. Including myself.

You guys talking about the old SNL got me thinking back on it too. Now THAT was funny. Lots of stuff back years ago. Think about the old days a lot.
