Homeland Security Funding Recieved

Redundancy is probably a good idea.

Personally, I think having two is a really good idea. You never know who might forget to tie one up and it disappear like the first one did.

We should probably tie them together to keep from losing them this time.

That right there is a grand idea. It would also double the size of our poop deck and we all know we can use the extra size in that area.

Abdullah called back late this afternoon and I told him there must have been some mistake since we received two boats. He checked his papers and nope, as it turns out that wasn't a mistake at all. He said Homeland Security has lots of money and they didn't mind spending it where it will do the most good. He wanted to know if I had ever heard of a terrorist. Well of course, I told him. He said in that case we were probably in danger and needed the extra precautions. That big all metal truck is on it's way back and Abdullah said they had a few other things they could send us.

Do you all reckon if we lost that old 12 gauge over the fireplace that ATF would be that kind? I'll bet they have access to all kinds of weapons. Where's Pal? Let's put him in charge of the 12 gauge and see how things turn out.

I think pal already has the 12 gauge. (He said something about guarding the bread, milk and eggs.)

[Rick]

Well, that's good then. I may call ATF tomorrow 'cause it's a synch if Pal has it the dang thing is lost.

[Pal334]

Oh ya,, pick on a guy for one little itty bitty over sight. I have had my eyes checked, and hearing checked. Not that it will do any good with all the fancy gadgets and such on those things. And by the way, the bread, milk and eggs are very secure, thank you very much. I will lend out a few of my shotgun shells, if I get a good seat on the poop deck

[Rick]

We just need to know if you remember where the shotgun is.

[Rick]

They dropped the all metal truck off down by the marina today. It ain't the same one that they tried to give us before. This one is a lot bigger and more....well....more somthin'.

Send it back! It's broken! One whole set of wheels isn't touching the ground.

[Rick]

I'd feel bad sending it back after we sent the first metal truck back. Abdullah called it a buffalo. Now I know he's a city feller and all but they must have zoos and such in Washington. They seem to know what a donkey and an elephant look like so you'd think they would know this thing is NOT a buffalo. Although it is clearly some kind of animal.

[Pal334]

And since that feller surely knows what a donkey and an elephant are, wouldn't you think he is also familiar with the "waste product" they generate? And I think it is clear that this here "buffalo" is not generating a similar waste

[Rick]

Unless everyone objects I suggest we keep the new metal truck. We can get 2Dumb or the mule to weld a hitch on the back for the yard wagon and use it when we clean up around the marina.

In other news, we managed to get both boats in the water without too much trouble. Unfortunately, they are pointed in the wrong direction. We'll need everyone at the marina next week-end to help us lift em back up and turn 'em around. They need to be pointed the other way to fit into the dock.

[Winnie]

You'll have to come pick me up in one of the Boats Rick, if you need me to help get them turned around. But I may only be able to help in a managerial capacity, as I don't want to hurt my back again. But rest assured! I will point and encourage from the Dock.

[Rick]

While we seldom have a shortage of managers your assistance will be welcomed. We are a bit metric challenged so if you shout out a distance or weight in metric do be surprised if everything comes to a stop and everyone stares at you. It's really hard for us to work and cypher at the same time.

[BENESSE]

What you guys need is someone who won't be asleep on the job...i mean, taking a nap while y'all do.

[crashdive123]

Just like a fine tuned military operation, we nap in shifts.

[Rick]

I'm sure glad you said that correctly.

[crashdive123]

Yeah - didn't want it to look like *****.

Not to worry, I'm multilingual. I can point and shout in old money too. I would also like to assure the F.A.R.Ts napping is the same in metric as imperial.

[Rick]

Madam, we may be the colonies but we are a republic not imperial. Thank you very much.
