Behind this sentiment?




right down to the Ray Bans slumlord mentioned.

👍

Self portrait ?? Nice hat and shades!

Nah,

I wear safety sunglasses and hats that fit.

I had aviators back in the 70's though, before cool was cool.

Oh yeah, I was skinny like that dude when I was 14 or so. Not no more.

Sounds good and looks good to me.

Haha. Love it.

Don’t say I told you so, but yes.

Absolutely true for me.

Don't hate on the Aviators bro, I'm not a boomer and own a pair.

I'm with ya Geno!

Shot, burned, & buried my GAF of folks perceptions of me a few years ago. Wife shakes her head.

I'd never hate on them.

I got so used to wearing polarized, safety, bifocal sunglasses for work over the years I just wear them as normal now. And, if I go to the range, or fire up the weed whacker I don't have to go look for a pair. If I go fishin', they're already polarized.

I love aviators and wish I'd never lost the pair I used to have, complete with the leather covered aluminum case with belt loops. Probably don't come with that anymore.

Oh hail yes!

I’d bet that sumbitch is rocking Crocs too.

😎

Oh hell no, he's cooler than that. Sandals or barefoot most likely.

Mirrored pair here, when I ain’t wearing safety glasses.

Yeah, it’s got a hemi!

I was hoping for a violent call to arms- , oh well i'm tired anyway.


That's a picture of Benny I used to buy four finger bags from him for $20.

Val- tell him I say hey

For what?

Don't know how this picture got in here but it's definitely cool to see Eddie Munster at the wheel of a front motor Top Fuel dragster! Lol

Bet that vato makes a mean taco.

Boomer Forever, Forever Boomer

You got ripped off.

we got ours for $10


then again, we lived near the border and knew the people bringing in duffel bags on their dirt bikes.

Never went to a toga party.

were they fun?

We usually went up in the hills or desert and shot guns an scheidt.

That damn Benny lied to me

That's me.....just with hearing aids now

I like aviator sunglasses. In case you don't....

Enjoy it youngsters

I stole this from the meme thread and I think it is appropriate. There will be a multitude of younger members here lining up to criticize/blame our group for the worlds maladies. No one payed attention to us when we were younger so get in line.

Only thing missing is an ice cream cone.

👏🏻

I like the regular cones, not the sugar cones or waffle cones.

Belt loops sunglasses case?


HAHAHAHA

ok Canteen Boy

It was the coolest thing ever. No need to put your glasses on your hat bill, or look stupider than you already are by hooking them backwards on your ears with the lenses on the back of your head!

Oh yeah, to hell with the canteen deal













Desert Water Bags were WAY cooler

Yep screwm.

For what? Coffee at McDonalds?

Huh?

They ain't got no donuts there.

Let's meet at a donut shop instead.

Coffey

Please adhere to the strict conventions of Wabigoon’s vernacular.

Can someone please change the thread title to "untie"....please.


It would work better for me. Thanks.

REAL boomers have no need to untie.


They wear them damn shoes with the velcor stuff, or whatever it's called.

Me, I wouldn't know, as I try to avoid shoes as much as possible.

#croclife

Oh yeah, I always forget about them folks.

Crocs seem pretty freakin forgettable to me I guess.

Best warm weather irrigating shoe ever made.
We got goatheads. I'm too tender to go barefoot

I wear them all the time.

Tevas, made in America last I checked.

I hate goatheads. I figured you folks sprayed that crap. One of the few weeds I'll actually consider using "harsh chemicals" on if there's anything approaching an infestation.

Oh, we spray them. I think the seeds blow off the hay trucks that go by. Or they are getting transported by critters from down by the river.
Somehow, they keep coming back

Supposedly them bastards can last decades in the soil.

Another nice goody from our "friends" in Russia or Europe.

Russian thistle, Russian olive, Tree of Heaven, Collared doves, etc etc.

Wonder what we gave them? Besides foreign aid and weapons.

Goatheads?

Another reason to hate Russia.....

I like Russian Olive.


Our wildlife biology friend hates them.

https://www.nwcb.wa.gov/weeds/puncturevine

Great for windbreaks, decent shade, I think they smell OK during flowering, as I recall the honey from them is not bad. I was thinking when I lived on the Palouse of getting some large sections from trees and seeing what I might make from the wood. I think somewhere in my travels I may have seen some revolver stocks made from it and they looked half decent.

From a biological standpoint though.......................it's a pain in the ass.

Maybe not as bad as salt cedar/tamarisk.............but not good either.

Sandbur

Yeah, I've read that one before, and many others.

I prefer to just kill the crap when I see it.

As you said, it comes back because critters carry it back in., someone drives through a patch and then comes down your street and the seed heads open next to your driveway.

If nuclear radiation would work I'm about ready to try it around town. Too many folks there don't do anything about it alongside their buildings, the right of ways and such.

I'm too much of a barefoot kid still and just detest the crap.

Well...one BLM range biologist loved Russian Olive.


He loved the fact that RO was a great transporter of water and nutrients.

Basically, when range management went to hell through overgrazing RO was there to save the day and help fix the soil.

Isn't this world great. A Boomer and a Gen Xer can come together and bond over our undying hate of the nasty goathead.

We're getting off topic here, but then again this is the Hunter's Campfire (Boomerland in other words)

It seems in small numbers it's probably good, but in certain locations it can deplete ground water by using too much. Similar to what's happening here with our over abundance of junipers.

Goatheads were responsible for many kids pushing their bike home. Before puncture proof tires. I hate those things. Kilzall works! We dig them and pour vinegar on the broken roots. Seems to work.

Ah, you X ers aren't too bad. I can deal with most of ya'

them damn millenials though..................

They are easy to kill.
Just gotta get them before the seed (evil thorny foot killer) develops. Problem is, there is always more.....

Who doesn't like a waffle cone.

WTF

Gooberment place I worked had a guy come spray preemergent stuff, seemed to work fairly well. Then I went out with the vinegar, salt, and (shhhh, don't tell anyone) glyphosate if I couldn't control it with the natural methods. Another natural method that works OK is..................................a weed torch.........they don't like that at all.

I can almost hear the screams when I think about torching them!

Damn newfangled inventions they are.

Just a plain old cone like in the olden days when we'd ride the old Schwinn Sting Rays to the Soda Fountain or Thrifty Drug store.

Don't need no stinkin' waffle cone.

One man's overuse of water is another man's kickstarted water cycle.

russian olive has a native cousin in MT, ND and wyoming, ut.

silverberry or wolf willow. supposed to be a little around 4 corners, but I find that hard to believe.

Connect the Dots.

It's their plan. Ask Rene. And the Campfire suckers oblige.

Don't they, JQ, LRJ, and certain members of the Dumbassed Crew.

cliking test

Thanks jagx.

Gemco popcorn and Icees whilst we oogled the guns and knives in Sporting Goods before being shooed away.

Make yourself a fool to those on the Far who know. It's fine with me.

Like Q said, Backchannels are important.

Wtf Jag?

Still have two pair O' Bans Rays Aviators[with the cases]

I like waffle cones, road my Huffy then Western Flyer[oh yeah, 10speed baby] to High's Ice Cream]

Crocs, all the time

I'm with Rene, came into this world in the last 'Boomer' year

So 'barely a boomer'

Wow. A bait thread 3 pages long and Jackazz Handy has not swam around yet. LMAO.

Yeah, well I am barely a Millenial.


You can't hide what's inside.

I'm still a pup on the inside.

After moms death last year, older brother and former step father started acting like idgits.....

I didn't like it but somebody had to be the damned adult!

Hopefully I grow up to be a nice irresponsible old person.

Last person to fuqk with Geno sleeps with the fishes.

I'm a fan of the passion, chillax wit the blue on blue flaking.

But of course.

Water going to the ocean instead of being dammed for human use is seen by some as being "wasted".

Those of a biological bent know nothing in nature is "wasted".

So perhaps those damn weeds have some benefit.

And if those silver berries/wolf willows are natives, why not just plant more of them?

It's all too confusing to this boomer. Perhaps another coffey will help?

We're all in this together, right?

Was it's name Prius?

Nah,



I think the 'yotes scattered that one's bones across a wide swath of some desert

I thought the name was Corolla.

Be'ins I'm a boomer with a boomer memory and all..........

Geno so bad he made his car sleep with the fishes.

Matrix,

but ............

A Corolla by any other name is still a Corolla.

You can be friendly youngster

Crocs rock. For about a month anyway. Then the bottoms get worn enough to turn into ice skates on any smooth floor with a whisper of moisture.

For the record, I’m well shy of the Boomer bracket. Discount my opinion as deemed necessary by the council of the Boom.
