JDS Airman Valve????

Pab,

A “com[u]bro[/u] chrony”?????

You want me to strap a black man onto the muzzle of my Talon? That’s ridiculous! A person’s skin color doesn’t enable them to judge pellet velocity any better than anyone else. Besides, the weight would be prohibitive!

My sincere apologies to our African-American friends, and all people of color who visit our esteem forum. You must forgive Pab, as he was run over by a double-decker bus when he was but a lad, and sustained severe brain damage, the loss of two toes and over half his “manhood”. To this day, one of his eyes still dangles from the socket! A poor, ignorant, deformed outcast who lives on a sheep farm in rural Essex. He doesn’t know any women, has never “known” a woman, and other than the occasional night visit to the barn, he doesn’t get out much.

All this information from a local brothel owner, Betty “Queenie” Potter, who lives up the road from Pab. She said all his friends once got together to purchase him a “visit” to her facility, but the two of them could only gather one pound, six-pence, and that wouldn’t even get him in the door! She said even with a discount for a 2.5 inch “service” (she charges by the inch) she has to have at least $3.00 U.S. to break even, because she rounds up to the next full inch. If only three of us could contribute, we could make Pab a real man for ten minutes!

Food for thought.

With a heart full of nothing but brotherly love, kindness, and consideration….I remain:

Kindly ‘Ol Uncle Hoot 😯

Well, I finally got the dang thing out.

It took some doing but it finally came loose. Mamcrackin warned me to check the spring retention nut, and sure enough it was so loose it was wobbly.

I took it all the way out, cleaned up the inside and wound the threads with 15 to 20 spans of teflon tape, as directed. When I screwed it back in, very carefully I might add, I looked down the inside of the hollow nut, and something was not quite right. So I unscrewed it and the leading thread had broken off and was hanging by a thin sliver of metal.

I broke it off and filed the end smooth. It was just one thread deep, so I didn’t figure it would cause a problem that couldn’t be corrected with a top hat adjustment.

Those spring retention nuts are very thin and Mamcrackin told me this had happened to him a couple of times.

Now I have to use my thinnest hex wrench and loosen the two screws that hold the top hat on and adjust it. I hope there is no trick in getting them loose. I’m going with a top hat setting of .085 to start with.

When I can afford a chrony I will get down to fine tuning it…but that’s another welfare check or two away. Damn Democrats…did you know you can’t buy a chrony on-line with food stamps???

Pab, you’ve been an inspiration throughout this, can you mail me yours, and I’ll drop it off next time I’m in your neighborhood! Yep! I surely would. Wrap it in a couple colostomy bags would you??? I don’t want it to break.

Well, Pab, my left nut is glass too, but I don’t get any complaints!

Lost both eye and ball (snicker!) in the same brothel fight back in ’65! It was the piano player who started it, an Asian man by the name of Elvis Drang. He played the piano with a Spider monkey on his shoulder, who went by the name of “Jack the Ripper”.

While I was pounding Drang’s face in with my boot, that fuckin’ monkey pulled a straight razor and and….well, things got plumb ugly.

It just goes to show you the wisdom in old sayings! Yessir! It surely does.

“Never smash in a 97 pound Asian man’s face with a boot, when there’s a Spider monkey watching!” My drunken father first told me that, when I was but a lad…but I failed to listen. If any of you are still parents, I suggest you have your kids repeat this right after their night prayers.

Boys and girls, here’s a lesson from ‘Ol Uncle Hoot….listen to what a drunk says, always…they’ve had hard lives, and know strange things. And never turn your back on a Spider monkey. 😯
