Welcome back to DUmmy DUmoTex, one of the DUmp's leading phony soldiers, the world's foremost ordinance expert, and developer of the 5.56mm anti-tank rocket!
DUmmy DUmoTex has a useless government makework job in a fire tower in Oregon or Washington, or one of those West Coast hellhole states.
His job is as vital as a blacksmith at a swimming pool, but that's government work.
The sequester shuts down White House tours, but ol' DUmoTex is still paid to play with himself in a fire tower all summer.

On my way to the Western Fire Season 2013
Looks like a barn burner this year (pardon the pun). NIFC (National Interagency Fire Center) puts Oregon and California in high threat forecasts. My fire lookout tower is in the Red Zone.
Nadin will be in SoCal, and I will be in Oregon. That is a good start in fire season coverage for DU.

Countless boring pictures of smoke on the horizon and endless self-congratulatory posts about forest fires someplace no one has evere heard of. It's going to be a long summer at the DUmp.
DUmoTex just doesn't understand. It's all about nutcase nadin:

24. The NIFC ain't pretty
I cover these suckers so I read the crap with the morning coffee...the off the record warnings a month ago are...sadly, making a lot of sense now. At least I get to go home from a fire line...some of these guys can expect months on end of hell.
If it's as bad as the report puts it, we all will be busy.
It's still all about nadin:

6. Mac you and I will have "fun."
I just hope the 1924 prediction does not happen, or up a shit creek without a paddle comes to mind.
For all of you in fire country, listen to fire officials. The Spring fire destroyed zero structures...the owners listened and gave fire crews defensible space.
It is 60% contained and counting my blessings. No dry lightning, which was the expectation 24 hours ago...healthy rain...right now.
Sorry 75% contained, tweet just came in
You take care
1924?

15. Looking forward to your reports and photos. Thanks DemoTex.
Yeah, DUmoTex. They're boring and pretentious as hell, but they piss off the crazy bald dwarf, so keep it up.
Yet another reminder that it's all about nadin:

23. It's been wild up and down the coast
This last week.
You stay safe, make sure you clear a fighting space
This column from a local retired chief is full of good info

Posted it the other day as a PSA
Sage advice from an expert.
And as a bonus, a link to crazy Miriam's pennysaver blog.
Poor DUmoTex. He thought he was making a big announcement about trekking west to save the American wilderness, and his thread turns out to be all about nutcase nadin.

One of the funniest threads I've ever read at the DUmp. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:s6UmSG7UY-YJ:www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php%3Faz%3Dview_all%26address%3D439x443507+DemoTex+22lr+site:www.democraticunderground.com&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca

I need a gun and advice, in that order. Don't criticize until you read the post.
First, I have not fired a weapon since a little firefight along QL-1 between Nha Trang and Cam Ranh Bay. That was 1970, and -since it involved a firefight and an infantry unit to which I was TDY for the convoy as "convoy officer" - it probably qualified me for a CIB that I have never claimed. That is another story. The point is, I know how to use a rifle and a sidearm.
I am headed back to the fire lookout in the Oregon wilderness in May. The cougar population (mountain lion) is growing. Nick had an encounter last summer. I need protection. Period.
I need a very light-weight rifle that I can carry between the lookout and outhouse, or on hikes down the road for exercise. It needs to be powerful enough to stop a cougar, although it would be used first to scare a cougar or other threatening animal.
I am told here, in South Carolina, where wild animals are - perhaps - smaller, that an AR-22 is the rifle of choice for my situation.
What do the DU experts think?
Thanks in advance,
Mac

5. Isn't AR-22 chambered in .22LR?
You need more than that to stop a cougar or mountain lion. .223 at a minimum. Personally I would go heavier but .223 (5.56mm) at a minimum.

17. You lost me after the decimal point
Someone here mentioned a 22LR. What are the .223s?
They didn't have any of those fancy decimal point rounds along QL-1 between Nha Trang and Cam Ranh Bay.
The best answer:

122. Wow, my response will seem really silly.
Why not learn how to communicate with the cats?
Probably not the best solution for you since spring is almost here, but I thought I'd open this up to a completely different concept. My wife is an animal communicator and I suspect that there are many things in life our culture doesn't know much about. I'm not saying not to take a gun, take a good one, but use it as a last resort,
The whole thread is a hoot and includes another Vietnam "vet", madokie, suggesting a .22 riffle is a good weapon for hunting mountain lions.

Good. You'd have been laughed at. Truck drivers don't qualify for a CIB, numbnuts.

You may remember the long thread a year or so ago when DUmmy DUmoTex claimed forest fires were being set by gun nuts.
According to DUmmy DUmoTex, it's customary in Oregon for gun nuts to use incendiary rounds, even if they don't exist.
The DUmp handed him his ass, and he posted a sobbing GBCW.
Dozens of DUmpmonkeys begged him to come back with his excruciatingly boring photographs, and he finally relented.
Thank goodness.

Didn't this dickweed have pictures showing he was an Army Aviator? How the hell does a pilot get detailed out as "convoy officer" for the Infantry?

Now this is some good advice! DUmoTex can OJT as a Mountain Lion Whisperer!

An ordnance expert like DUmoTex knows that the difference between a .22 and a .223, only three thousandths of an inch, could not possibly have any sigificant effect on the power of the round.

That's what proves he's a lying asshole about serving. In 1970, when he "claimed" he was in, the standard issue rifle was the M-16 that fires 5.56/.223. BRM, in ALL services, used the same rifle. Any idiot that doesn't know the difference between a .22 and a .223 never served a damn day in the military.

No contest.
Phony soldier DUmoTex doesn't know a weapon from a weiner.
The crazy bald dwarf carries a Bowie knife in her little size four steel-toed combat boot, for emergency tracheotomies.
It's an ominous sight, since it's only about a twelve inches from her knee to the ground.
She'd have DUmoTex drawn, quartered, skinned, and boned before he knew what happened.
Then she'd rappel down from the tower and disappear into the forest.

Actually, I appreciate these people. It's got to be a mostly boring job. But it's more dry here this year. Usually this is our super rain time of year and there's been very little. I'm in the Willamette Valley which is farm country because it's so lush here, thanks to the weather making everything a mud pit. Our farm pond is already low. Luckily, we have a creek surrounding our entire property so it's a pretty good defensible space. Of course, Weather Bug says we're supposed to have rain and thunderstorms for the next couple days, then rain later in the week. They said that last week though.
