Howdy Army 1911! Just the name says we’ll get along just fine.Howdy
Well I'm over here in East Texas, outside of Palestine and Elkhart.Hi Sarge,
Yes sir that is the place. I was born in the hospital in the pines, a couple miles up 259 from the mill. Cheap Japanese steel and unions killed the mill. My stepfather worked out there w/ KBR during a shutdown during a strike.
Welding up in a superstructure and could hear
Ping, ping, ping. Ricochets from union shooting at them! That was the last time it was operational? In the late 70s-80s?
You are right! It is gods country. Just no jobs.
I plan on going north, probably closer to Oklahoma. Property is a little cheaper up that way. The rest of my family is scattered out from Palestine to Texarkana.
Thanks for the post, not many folks get up that deep in the pines.
I get up that way 2-3 times a year on my way to visit my mother in Redwater and my mother in law in Leary. I would spend time in PalestineWell I'm over here in East Texas, outside of Palestine and Elkhart.
I have a great pic of a gator swimming with a dead deer in its mouth supposedly taken out back at Lone Star Steel. I’ll try to dig it up.Howdy all,
I’ve been on here since 2012.
Eating popcorn and rolling on the floor.
Never really had a reason to sound off untill
Today on the Austin city council 40% raise thread. Couldn’t let that go by….the bastards.
Anyway, I’m originally from (born) Lonestar TX
Behind the pine curtain. I live in Manor TX
But was annexed by Austin for the tax$$.
Moved down here for the work. Hope to retire in
3-5 years and get the H$ll out of here and back
Up there.
I’m a M14/M1A & 1911 guy. (My Favorites). And a little of this and that. Thanks for having me.
I’m a proud Texan and a patriotic American.
