I try to keep a half gallon of vodka and a couple liters of Diet Tonic Water and a squeeze lime where I can get to 'em in an emergency; especially, on long trips.

Half a gallon to a couple of liters is a pretty stiff drink.Oldgringo wrote:I try to keep a half gallon of vodka and a couple liters of Diet Tonic Water and a squeeze lime where I can get to 'em in an emergency; especially, on long trips.

This is a Glock 40. Fifty Cent. Too Short. All of them talk about a Glock 40. OK?
I'm the only one in this forum fool enough - that I know of - to shoot himself with a Glock 40.

I sincerely apologize to anybody I offended by suggesting the Second Amendment also applies to The People who don't work for the government.

Hubby has one in his car too.

When we travel long distances together we take his pack and mine.

Calvary has two meanings. One is Golgotha. The other is a policing or military unit on horse back. So if you got into trouble if you could you called for the calvary. Perhaps I am spelling it wrong.
