Well…slowly but surely I’m learning to use Movable Type. It really hurts by brain setting up all the templates and such. And most of you have no idea what in tarnation I’m talkin about. Well…its the program that allows me to bring you this wonderful webpage. It might take a day or two to transfer all my old blogger posts over to MT(movable Type), but its coming along.
We passed 12,000 unique visitors in a period of 25 days. So I decided to add a link to us page. So if you own or operate a webpage, be sure to grab one of them nifty buttons and put it up on your site or blog.We gotta get this message out to as many as we can.
I don’t know if most of you have seen it, but the NRA has recently (actually I’m a bit late) created a new site called The Clinton Gun Ban. It is very informative to alot of the folks who don’t quite realize the damage the Clintons did to responsible gun owners.
I give this site 2 thumbs up.

Happy 39th Birthday Mr. Matuszak. And many happy returns!
Sing along everybdoy!
For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow, for he’s a jolly good fellow, for he’s a jolly good felloooooowwww…and nobody can deny it!
I’m told that your actually older than 39….but it sure is hard to tell with that healthy head of hair you have. I suppose the butt kissing can stop now, because you already gave me the permission to marry your daughter.
Well, Winter is over…and it’s high time to start on the spring cleaning. Lucky me, I got to sit on the john deere for 2 and a half hours today. Also, Here is the House, that me and Jared are lookin at getting. It belongs to Patty Duke who is the mother of Sean Astin…and in case you don’t know who Sean Astin is….he plays as ‘Mikey’ in the Goonies, and more recently as ‘Samwise Gamgee’ in The Lord of the Rings films.
We had a really good time at jeffs funeral today. There was a big BBQ goin on, and about 100 or more folks there. The tables were set out on the lawn in front of the pond, and Pastor Bob (Brenda’s Pastor) did the speaking. He did an excellent speech about our time on earth, and he did very well of bringing the gospel of Jesus into it, without making it too oppressive. After giving a biography of Jeff’s life, Pastor Bob had friends, old aquaintences, and family say a few things about Jeff. Jeff was such a funny guy, that everyone who spoke had a funny story to tell.
I got up and talked about Jeff’s tall tales he would tell us. This is the funny story that I decided to share: The first day we met him, and he showed us his big elk bull mount in his office, we asked him if he was the one to bag it. Jeff says “Well….I was sitting at my desk here, with not much to do, when I see this great big ‘ol rack(antlers) movin’ along the bush line.” Jeff opens a desk drawer and pulls out this big ol knife. “So I grabbed this here knife, and snuck out to the bush line, where he was headin’. Just as he got into range, I jumped outta the bush’s, up onto his back, and I stuck him!” Haha! So me and my dad laughed, because we arn’t as gullible as most. Because Jeff was able to tell this story without once crackin’ a smile or making it seem like anything but the truth. That’s when my mom responded with, “Really! wow! That sounds very dangerous” …silence in the room….me and my dad glance at each other, and then we both smack our own foreheads in embarrasement. I told everyone about a interesting bit of news that I found out a little over a month ago. It turns out, that even after a year of riding almost everyother day with jeff, cruizing in his boat, and goin out to eat…..after all this time….that good fer nothin’ Jeff didn’t even know my name. HAH! His daughter Maddie, 13, was the one to bring it to my attention. And at first I said “Yeeeeaaaaa Riiiiiight”, but after thinkin’ on it….I can’t even recall when he called me by my name. He usually just said, “Hey you”…haha….so I thought that was pretty funny, and so did the crowd. I just figured that was how he was, so I never thought much about it. Good stuff.

When a convicted killer who had been in and out of prison and mental hospitals began beating on the door of Charles Cryderman�s Gardnerville, Nevada, home, the homeowner armed himself with a .357 Mag. revolver. When the killer forced his way in after ignoring two warning shots, Cryderman fired three times, ending the assault. The assailant died of his wounds in a nearby hospital.
I received a letter from a college student in Richardson, Texas just now. I am gonna post her letter, and follow up with my response.
NAME: Suzie
CITY: Richardson
STATE: TX
MESSAGE:
Hi, I’m a college student and am writing a report over the Vietnam war. I’ve read in my history book, in encyclopedias, and heard from my grandfather, who is a Vietnam veteran, that the American soldiers were doing some pretty uncivilized things. Such as desecrating the bodies that they killed, raping Vietnamese women, and anything else terrible that you could imagine.
I believe you are trying to criticize John Kerry with this video that you made, “Hanoi Kerry.” This is where my confusion sets in. The video says something about him claiming that all this raping and killing of civilians went on in Vietnam. So, if this video is Anti-Kerry, then when you quote him, are you saying that he was lying? I am very confused. Because all I’ve heard about Vietnam was that it was a horrible mess and that a lot of soldiers did some pretty bad things (for example, the My
Lai massacre) and that Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon kept us in the war for corrupt, politcal reasons - that it was about not looking soft to the Soviets and about American imperialism. So, I’m confused about your video. It almost seemed to me that you were saying that Kerry was immoral for protesting an immoral war that should’ve never happened. Why is someone
wrong for protesting something in which men can kill a whole villiage of civilians and not be punished? Why is someone wrong for protesting something that is futile and destructive to everyone involved?
Sure, we were fighting communism, but the communist leader, Ho Chi Minh was not a repressive leader. And that doesn’t make me communist to not hate him. It doesn’t make me communist to not think communism is evil and it doesn’t mean I am against America. I completely agree with the ideal of democracy and capitalism, but I don’t think the opposite is evil. What is wrong with not hating people and not wanting war? Will you please help me straighten out my confusion? - explain the details of the video.

Hi Suzie,
I will undoubtedly agree with you that there were incidents of such atrocities committed by American soldiers during Nam. And as much as I am against such behavior, this video’s main focus is on the damage that Kerry did to people like your grandfather who served in the war. Kerry was first in line to ridicule him, call him a baby killer, spit on him, and do
anything in his power to discourage or belittle returning veterans. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but was your grandfather any of those? I have a strong feeling that he wasn’t, nor would he even think of doing such things. Our country was at a difficult time, and it sure didn’t help to have liars like Kerry making things worse. Kerry may have exercised his “free speech”, but it was a low blow, full of dishonesty, belittling to courageous veterans, and giving an overall damaging view of the good of the American way. In a time when communists wanted to make every one “the same”, not only is this destructive, but has been proven by over 100 million deaths, that it doesn’t work.
No other country in the world has sent out so many of its men to fight for another country’s freedom as the USA has. You may not think that communism is bad, but the results are in, and people like Kim Jong Il, Castro, Stalin, Pol Pot, and many many others have led to the slaughter thousands upon millions of innocent, unarmed*, citizens. You should do some research as to the atrocities that are currently taking place in North Korea as we speak. Nothing different than what the Nazi’s did to their victims.

Kerry lied about throwing his “earned” medals over the Whitehouse gate. Turns out he threw someone else’s, and that’s why his medals are displayed on his desk today. What happened to his standpoint now? Seems to me, and any other person with common sense, that Kerry just flip flopped on his standpoint. Kerry is not to be trusted in such a powerful place as President
of the US. You’ll probably respond with everything George W. Bush ever did wrong, and I expect you to. I’m sure that Bush has told his lies too, I personally don’t trust any politician. Some call it choosing the lesser of two evils. But George W. Bush has the bad guys on the run, and that is why I will give him my vote. I know for a fact if any terrorist had the choice, they would vote for Kerry. ” All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. ” -Edmund Burke
I guess my main point, Suzie, is that even “if” our boys (18-21) over in Nam did some pretty bad things, it doesn’t even come close to comparison of what these communist countries have brought upon their own citizens. You may be not against communism, but I’ll tell you right now, the thousand and thousands who are used as human guinea pigs for testing biological and chemical agents will disagree with you.
“All of North Korea is a gulag,” said one senior U.S. official, noting that as many as 2 million people have died of starvation while Kim has amassed the world’s largest collection of Daffy Duck cartoons. “It’s just that these people [in the camps] are treated the worst. No one knows for sure how many people are in the camps, but 200,000 is consistent with our best
guess. -MSNBC
I would say that we should go in there and save these poor souls from such an awful existence. But college professors, who were hippy’s during the war, have planted a seed in many a university. Weaving a web of pro-communist ideals, these professors are fulfilling their “agenda’s”. Telling their students “Communism is actually good!”.
Because of these people, many many more innocents will die in a miserable, violent, unimaginable way. Next time you are enjoying the comfort of your home, give a thought and a prayer to these people. We must do our best to prevent communism from spreading its evil across the globe. Many a soldier died in Nam, but I tell you, it was NOT in vain. Kerry told everyone that they all died in vain. I will never never support anything Kerry stands for, and I will always stand against communism and it’s supporters.
God Bless

Credit is gonna have to go to Copper on this one, it was a bit ripe when I found him gnawing on it. I don’t know how he was able to chew on that rank thing.
I threw a couple more photos up, I went out and did some shooting with the AR-15 today at Hayden Creek today. Then I hiked back into the CDA National Forest lookin for some squirrels. Didn’t see any, but I did come a across a turkey, but I let her be.
After spending the afternoon burning a slash pile, we went driving around looking for property for myself and Jared’s family. I happened to take a road that I had never seen before. Turns out this road took us back into the CDA national forest and down to Hadyen Creek. It looks like a sweet spot for BBQ’n, and to make it better, down another dirt road led us to an awesome shooting spot that I had never heard of. The ground was littered with a bullethole-ridden old car, a totaled washing machine, and the ground was nothing but empty brass and shotgun cartridges. So now it’s high time for a day out at this range with the BBQ, some cold beers, and all the firepower I can bring! And its right on the old Hayden crick. The New Party Pad.
