They’re taking advantage of the sequester.

PowderMonkey,
I like your gun, what is it?
Also what did you do that brought you ALL OVER Africa and Europe?
Any tales you’d care to share about either? Any tales you needs to keep quiet?

A friend of mine said the mosquitos in Montana were so big they could stand flat footed and defile a turkey.

The biggest and baddest mosquitoes I’ve ever seen were in the woods of Minnesota. Hellacious.

Got that right! Up here in North MN when sundown comes, the swarms are like a thick fog rolling through the woods...

In the long term, chemicals do far more damage than good.

Just a common garden variety sawed off shotgun. Don't own one myself. Terrible thing to do to a good side-by-side shotgun.

I was employed by an alphabet soup of foreign affairs agencies over many years, in places most folks would avoid, and I was usually inbound, while everyone else was outbound. Facility security, threat analysis, and criminal investigations a specialty. Have suitcase. Will travel. Tales to tell? Where do I begin!?

Had one in the works for several years. Now that I’ve hung up my spurs, I just might get the time to really focus on it and finish it. I figure there just might be a younger generation with an interest in the Cold War era bush wars.

All too often folks with a good story keep it to themselves.If you fail to put it in print it will be lost.
If for NO other reason, leave the story for your decendants.
You have to know how many folks from WWII are gone and never even told their families they did tremendous things.
Just do it.
