Subject: Sunday Morning, almost....
Morning all, it's about 11:30 here now.
I love the weekends, mostly. I try to sleep in but the dog usually get me up between 6-7 to go out. I'll just hit the couch then.
Next weekend I'll be gaming too. Our group gets together about once a month or so. We'll either continue our 4E game or our new Dresdenverse game. We're still learning Dresden, I'm a werewolf sort of like Billy from the book only older and part Native American. Our game is in LasVegas instead of Chicago.

Subject: That's Correct.............
Yep, that's what we call it too. And you can use any pie fruit or any cake mix.
I used it to get them interested in cast iron cooking.

Topic: Chocolate Cake in a Mug and other goodies
Subject: Another dessert....
I use this with my scouts and I only do it in a cast iron Dutch Oven. It's incredibly easy with no mixing involved. Canned fruits are dumped into a baking pan, topped with cake mix, butter, and nuts, then baked. The result is something in between a cake and a cobbler, and amazingly delicious.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Ingredients:
1 (21 ounces) can prepared more fruit cherry pie filling
1 (18.25 ounces) box chocolate cake mix
2 sticks of butter or margarine, each cut into 12 slices
1/4 cup chopped nuts (your choice - optional)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (325 for glass baking dish). Have a 9 by 13-inch baking pan ready.
Dump cherry pie filling in Dutch Oven, baking dish or pan and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the cherry.
Cut butter into slices with a butter knife and place slices evenly over cake mix.
Sprinkle nuts on top if you're using them.
Bake for one hour. Use heavy oven mitts to remove the dump cake from oven or let your older helper do it.
To serve, scoop cake out with a large spoon like a cobbler, and dump it on a nice plate. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is delicious with dump cake. Serve warm or cold.
Yield: about 10 to 12 servings
Note: For outdoor Dutch Oven cooking use charcoals, 14 on the top and 7 underneath. That gives about 325 -375 degrees depending on quality of charcoal.

Subject: It's Time...........
“Back this way,son. I’ve got some vittle’s left it the kitchen.” Dr.McGuire motion Asher toward the back of the house. Ash followed the doctor into a small kitchen. Opening the refrigeration storage unit the Doctor pulled out silver pitcher and placed it on the table. Quickly a frosty haze appeared on the pitchers surface as the moisture in the air condensed on the sides of the cold metal. Reaching back in the refrigerator Doctor also pulled platter of sliced meat and a container of cheese. Moving to the cupboard, a breadbox contained a loaf of sliced bread. Doctor place that on the kitchen table too. “It ain’t much son but you can chow down on that before you need to go do what you need to go do.” Grabbing the pitcher Asher poured himself a tall cold glass of smooth white liquid. Then piling a heap of meat and cheese between two slabs of bread Ash made a tasty meal. And just as quickly finished it off. The cold milk compliment the sandwich as the kid slugged down the glass full. With white rim over his upper lip the kid smiled up at Doc McGuire.
Pushing himself away from the kitchen table Ash took his dishes over and placed them in the sink. He returned to the room where Doc had saved his life and prepared to himself to even the score. In the practice routine Asher slid on his shoulder holsters and strapped his thigh holsters into position. Strap by strap, notch by notch the kid secured the tools with which he was most practice. Each pull and each snug reminded him of the duty he had to his boatmates and the score he had to settle with the person that had shot him in the back. Doc McGuire stood silently as he watched the gentle young man that was drinking milk in his kitchen turn into a strong cold weapon of justice. A chill rolled down Doc’s back as he saw the kid inspect each weapon of death with the same skill he used to check each of his tools of healing. The Python 6 GLs glistened as Ash slide them into their familiar places on each thigh. Next the twin PK 12 Peacekeepers were loaded, sited and nestled under his arms. Magazines of ammo were placed on the holsters straps for quick and easy access. The kid practice drawing each to be sure no time would be wasted when his girls were called to action. Doc was impressed with speed and skill the kid showed and knew he may be busy with ones the kid decided only needed to be taken out of the action, the ones that stood in his way weren’t going to need the Doc’s skills.
Ash slipped on his duster and the shoulder holster that carried his shotgun securely down his back. Grabbing his hat he turned to door, “It’s time to go, thank you, I’ll be returning to square things if I can.” Asher said as he looked at Doc McGuire. The doctor was amazed at the change, where there had been smiling, milk drinking young now stood a cold hard man.
“They’ll be coming for me soon, either mine or their’s, either way I’m ready.”
“Best you slip out the back door. I reacon your folk ‘ll be slipp’n in that way. You can watch from the shadows.” Doc stepped aside as Asher strode past him and headed out the back.
Slipping into the shadows Asher spent his time waiting for Wolf to appear by checking his tools. A communicator set to vibrate rested in the breast pocket of his duster. His combat knife was secure to his left ankle. The colt 22 slid in its belt holster in the small of his back. The SPAS30 Combat Shotgun hung ready from his shoulder. Even his utility pocket knife may mean the difference between life and death if the circumstances were right. But nestled in his hip pocket were those familiar little metal pieces. Asher hated to hurt a woman but there is curtain back shoot'n bitch that he'd very much like to introduce to those brass knuckles.
Patiently he waited listening for the sounds of Roc's mule approaching in the darkness.

Subject: Hit the road.....
Brutal had pull the car off the edge, just far enough to be slightly hidden but not so far that it would become mired in the mud. All the others seemed to be glad to use the German weapons but Doc was glad to keep his M1. Popping the trunk of the car Jack grabbed what was going to be useful. The Captain had left his M1 so Doc strapped on his ammo belt too, each held five two clip pouches each. A last scan spotted the Captain's grenade, he added it to his own. Before closing the trunk Jack pulled out his pack and slung it on.
Doc cautiously fell in with team, following the early "suggestion" from sarge he closed in behind the Captain.

Subject: Doc's stuff
Doc is sticking with his regular stuff.
He has his 45's, the pistol from the farm and his carbine.
Fighting Knife w/ M8 Scabbard
M1A1 Carbine w/ Folding Stock
Carbine Ammo Pouch
Canteen w/ Cover
Fragmentation Grenade
2 .45 acp 1911’s (in duel shoulder holsters w/3 clips each/1 loaded 2 extra)
Musette Bag with rope and other supplies.
I had to go in to work tonight so I didn't get a post up.
Basically Doc got his stuff out of the trunk, took extra ammo for the carbine that was left by the others. He got his pack because it has ammo and supplies including rope.
Then he just followed backing up the Captain.

Topic: Weird War II Q n A
Subject: Stuff we’ve found
Tann, here's a listing of what Al's presented us to choose from so far.
Stuff we’ve found! Some was in Q&A.
Farmhouse:
1930's Sauer 12g double barreled shotgun, two boxes of 12 double aught buck shells (so 24 in total). (Brutal)
few match boxes, some candles, a bar of soap, a silver hip flask, and some iodine.
a 1917 Beholla 7.65mm automatic pistol with a separate 7 round mag and a box of 100 rounds (7 missing). (Doc)
a pair of Carl Zeiss Jena Binoculars 8 X 24 with leather carrying case.
Cabin:
One SS dress uniform
One SS field uniform
Two black overcoats, leather
Numerous civilian clothing items (Shirts, pants, socks, undies, etc)
Numerous large knives, cleavers and bonesaws.
One luger with one full clip (8 rds)
One MP40 (Schmeisser) with three full clips (32)
One Gewehr 98 rifle (old -1898, but well cared for, holds five rounds) with 100 rounds in box
One hunting crossbow with 8 quarrels (one in major)
On Dead Major:
One blood stained uniform
One luger with a full clip
Wallet ($100 RM, some ID)
Keys to car, briefcase and cabin
Car:
One briefcase locked, paperwork inside and two spare clips for Lugar
Guardhouse:
Three G41 rifles with six 10 rounds clips, two of the clips have 6 rounds left
A Schmeisser with two 32 rd mags (one missing three)
2 packs of swiss made cigarettes (two were ruined by blood and mud)
Three bayonets with metal belt holsters
In the guardhouse, you find:
One pot of coffee (very Strong)
A metal box with half a loaf of bread, a small knife, and a half wheel of very stinky cheese
A tool kit with various tools (Hammer, pliers, screwdrivers, hacksaw)
Two bottles of booze labeled "weinbrand", one full and one half gone
Three "Torches" (heavy flashlights - all working)
A logbook of shifts and observation, written in german
Now I have just figured that our rifles were in the trunk of the car and would hope we were smart enough to put all the weapons in the trunk. That gives us 3 Schmeissers. Your Thompson should be in the trunk too

WHAT!!!! It's just an interesting plot twist.
Doesn't it sound fun? Here they are, working hard to start over and then they get this tag hung on them. Adds tension, suspense and it's something they have to keep proving wrong. That would make for interesting story.
It could just linked to the ship, they find out it was a secret spy ship and now other folk remember the ship, so one plus one equals five.
Just interesting plot twists like being shot in the back!

Subject: Onward.....
Jack knew the sergeant wouldn’t sit still for long, men like him just seem to have to keep moving. So as Doc made his way toward the guardhouse he wasn’t surprised to hear the crunch of gravel behind him as the sarge following him.
Surveying the room Jack spotted the food and made his way over to the table. A quick check showed the bread was fine and the cheese, though smelly, was also fit. Grabbing one of German knives he made quick work of dividing it into portions for each of team, including Miss H. Sarge was checking the radio and log book. Jack found a cup, poured Sarge a cup of coffee and took him a portion of of the food. “ Here this will do you some good, try to not move too quick if you must keep on your feet. I don’t want you pulling at that wound and get it bleeding again. Sit and read if you can, let that hole heal as much as you can before we really have to test it. Like I said, if the pain really gets tough I’ll give you a shot, though you’ll feel less pain it may also slow your thinking and reactions. I’m gonna take some of this to men.” Doc grabbed up the food and headed toward the door, he spotted the open bottle, picked it up and set it next to Sarge. “ A little of this may go well with coffee.” Turning to door Jack walked back out to the car.
The Captain had found the tool box and was elbows deep under the hood of that shot up sedan. He really seemed to be in his element, you tell when a person knows what they’re doing or if they are just guessing. Setting some bread and cheese on the bumper Doc said, “Grab a bit when you can, there’s coffee in the building.” Corbin and Brutal were at the bridge so Jack took some food the Miss Hofstetter.
He could see the sad distant look in her eyes, she was troubled by the shootout. Jack handed her a portion with a silent nod. As he turned he paused then said, “ There’s some coffee in the building, probably some water too.” Jack strode toward the bridge as Brutal and the sniper were returning. Handing them some food, “Keep your strength up, it ain’t much but its food. There‘s coffee over there too,” nodding toward the building. “There’s some guns in there too, that machine gun might be good for the Captain, give him more chances to hit something. I hate to see good weapons go unused.”
When the Captain had the car running again they piled in and headed toward the castle. There was no turning back and no thinking of after the mission, there was just the mission.

"Asher, We're comin' for you so don't be talking like yer fer the dirt. We're comin' an' I'm bringing Hell."
“Oh I’ll be here Sir, thanks to Doc. Ya’ll just be careful, this group's just bad. Doc's guess’n that it was a deputy’s sister Winnie that shot me, so don’t be turn’n your back on no one.
"Well then, Sit tight til the fireworks start, and then join the ruckus. I'll see if I can't get someone to swing by the Doc's. Need anything from your bunk?"
“ Well if you want to added a little shock and stun, grab up a few flashbangs. They can knock’um down without doing too much damage to Mr. J.W.’s town.”
As the wave link blinked out Ash shut down the communicator and detached it from Doc aerial. Slipping the wave unit back into his duffel bag, Ash took a quick inventory. Then he finished putting on his clothes and headed out of the room.
“Doc, you still got a little milk left? You patched me good and now let’s see I have any leaks. I could use a little chow, if that's ok. I’ll be need’n to head out soon and what you did sure left an empty spot in stomach.”
“Doc, thank you sir! I’m beholden to ya. “

I can go with that too. I hadn't been so keen on the rifles and automatics. I guessed that the shariff office had some rifles and the special assalt weapons would just be bulky. He really didn't need riot control. The same with his bombs. But his pistols would be with him, his small arms and his favorite shotgun ( Visions of Trish and her Pink blaster).
BTW isn't there an arms dealer in town that might give special help to rid the town of bad guys? A little body armor to stop the shots in the back could be handy. JW might even put in a good word and we could get some nifty toys, if we have to assult the mine.
