After The Glory Is Completed

[rwoods]

By the 70s they had locked it up here. Probably due to the drug recipes not the useful ones. In 1977, I bought a .338 Win Mag and two boxes of ammo from an usher at a University of Tennessee basketball game. I examined the rifle and completed the purchase while he stood by and checked tickets at one of the interior doors. No one batted an eye. Times have changed. Ron

Yup. It was always a good idea to double check some of the recipes with a chemistry student...or a chemistry professor. I didn't get too involved in any of that, I was just trying to squeeze in a couple of semesters between logging jobs. Bad idea. Berkeley in those days wasn't about getting an education, it was more about civil disobedience, political statements, and recreational pharmaceuticals. The music was pretty good, though.

Even mid-easterners with guns were no big deal then. The campus newspaper ran a little cartoon during the ouster of the Shah of Iran asking what all the noise was at night in Ft. Sanders (the rundown area where I lived just one street up from the UT Law school and the sorority house). The answer given was "All of the Iranian students cleaning their rifles". It was illustrated with a silhouette of a bearded man pushing a ramrod down the muzzle of a long barreled rifle. No one worried. Ron

How'd a cheery thread about burning piles turn into another gun thread?

Dunno. These things tend to meander. Kinda like a landing fire/lunch time conversation, we're liable to hit a bunch of different topics before the whistle blows. It's better than a lot of the gun threads we see on AS. Nobody is frothing at the mouth. Yet.

To get back on topic...let's shoot the burn piles with incendiary rounds. Hows that?

ANFO in a can?

fire,firearms no big leap.Besides I though the derail was about the good old days when the MENS basketball team at UT was competitive.

Ancient chinese secret!
In a can.

aluminium dust, and potassium chlorate (I think...) same stuff used in some dry cold packs. Add a high power rifle and stir.

 

[northmanlogging]

as far as modern musak, anything by Jack White... the rest is well the rest.

And then maybe you get to be the lead story on the 5 o'clock news..."Large explosion obliterates residence.....".

Utah has a basketball team? Perhaps the MEN need to learn from the WOmen.

Well, exploding targets started an unplanned slash burn last May. Behind a closed gate. It was worth a week of fire pay and overtime for some folks.

Yah, but you should specify. UT is not specific to Tennessee. Why aren't you happy that they have a good program for women?
What does basketball have to do with planting trees and burning slash?
