So a big HELLO from us to you and WELCOME to the heap! Well, I've been around the block at least once, I think. My skills are broad and well ranged. I grew up on a ranch, raised livestock and horses. We never had much money so we made do and we lived rough a few times. We used to grow our own food, we raised our own milk, eggs, and meat. I can cook, sew (by hand or with a machine, cloth or leather), clean, make stuff, invent stuff (necessity is the author of invention), tan hides, make leather, raise livestock, butcher, milk a cow/goat, basically anything that involves ranch life. I've been a general building contractor, used to own my own construction business. I can build just about anything, fix just about anything. I was in the military, nuff said. I study wilderness survival and disaster preparedness. (I can start a fire without a match.... hehe...) I'm pretty well rounded I guess. Link to comment
Darlene Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yes but... Can you put a 1916 treadle machine and cabinet together that was bought on ebay 6 months ago together, and more importantly... Can you can...as in home canning... rofl Wait...lemme revise that list... Let's see... Do you know how to put a DeLaval cream seperator together that is in a crate and several other boxes, also bought on ebay about 8 months ago... Ok, what else... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I think I could do the rest myself. rofl Link to comment
nana9 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I've read some of your writtings and am also waiting for more. You will be well fed here. Plenty of everything just have to be fast to get it. No leftovers here. Link to comment
Marine Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Darlene, Send it on over. I'll have it back in the mail in an hour. Used to piss my ex off that I could just pull something out of the box and put it together without once even touching the directions. I inherited the very valuable trait of being very mechanically inclined. I have a friend though, who is a comp programmer. He wouldn't know which end of the screwdriver to use. Fortunately his wife is the man around the house. She does all the home improvements. I will admit I have not done any canning personally. That's something I intend to learn here pretty quick. I'm hoping to get a garden in next year come spring. Link to comment
westbrook Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 rifles through Marines pockets looking for chocolate.... wait I think I found a chocolate bar!!!! oops.. sorry about that... I have a nice frog you can lick! (changes subject rather quickly) I haven't read any of your stories... but then I don't get to read many stories.. wanna read one of mine? (looking for something I am working on at the moment) Mock Cover Stitch A Mock Cover Stitch can be created using your sewing machine. A Mock Cover Stitch works great on Knit fabric and adds a little more professional look to your finished garment. This technique is used when your serger doesn't do a cover hem. Your machine must be able to take a twin or double needle. You will need to check your manual or check with your local sewing machine repair shop to see if your particular model is capable of using a twin needle. The sewing machine must be able to do a Zig Zag stitch and have either a top loading or front loading bobbin. If your machine has a side loading bobbin it will not take a twin needle. oh wait.. you probably have no clue what I am talking about! this is for my Serger (sewing) class.. not a survival group! I don't write stories, I write technical stuff, much like if you were going to explain how to construct a building to a beginner. nice to meet you. You sure you don't have any chocolate?

PureCajunSunshine Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hiya Marine! I have enjoyed reading your posts and stories at WR, and other places, too. I'm glad to see you here, and sure am looking forward to your posts! Mais cher! I see you've been offered a fine array of sweets...oh hey, that's just dessert. A man's got to eat a good meal first...head on over to the Kitchen Forum for my make-your-lil'-eyes-roll-up-in-your-head Jambalaya-ya-ya recipe. Welcome to a really place on the internet, IMHO. You'll soon see what I mean... 'til later, Sharon Link to comment
mommato3boys Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Oh man Marine I am sorry I am late in greeting you. I didn't get here in time to warn you about Westbrook. Westie is the local choco-holic. Throw her some every once in a while and she will behave, well she will behave only long enough to eat the chocolate. Here Westie have some cookies and get out of Marine's pockets Semper Fi huh wow we are getting all sorts of people on here now. My FIL was Semper Fi during WWII; actually he was part of Merrill's Marauders. He was a strange man. Look forward to reading some of your stuff. I think Trip requested pizza, although in my book it is a little early for pizza but then again my guys have been known on an occasion to eat cold pizza for breakfast oh a mother's shame Link to comment
Marine Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Okay, chocolate on the house. My treat. Here, help yourself, I just cooked up a batch of double chocolate brownies.... And uh, yeah, that was a chocolate bar in my pocket..... Of course it was.... Dang that pizza looks good.... Westbrook, I knew exactly what you were talking about. I knew it was sewing, but that's about it. Otherwise, it didn't mean a thing... There was a term or two there I don't know what it is.... Link to comment
Darlene Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Marine, westie is what we call, our *special needs* child...we love her though lol... I'll take some of your brownies though, if you're inclined to share. I just ate an almond joy and it just isn't cutting it. I'll trade you for 270lbs of apples I'm currently canning into various things for a brownie. Deal? Link to comment
Marine Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Deal, although I have no idea what I'm going to do with 270 pounds of apples. I'm not a fruity guy. Okay, that came out wrong.... Really, I'm not... I like apples once in a while, but geez, 270 lbs?!!?..... Here, just take as many brownies as you want..! Link to comment
