Austrailian To "Murican" in Just Ten Days

[jds holler]

My Sis came from Australia to visit about two weeks ago. She brought her grandson, Rhynn with her this year. They live in Perth, and have also lived in New Zealand, and visited the exotic South Sea vacation spots down there. -- However -- the boy had never experienced the U S of Murica, had never seen snow, never shot a gun, and never hung out with his white trash, redneck, uncle.

For the last two weeks, I've been spending a ton of time with him and my best bud Sammie, doing the kind of stuff that's old hat for Sam and I, but not for a city kid from Oz. I've gotta say, that I did a fine job of corrupting his city-tude, and we've made memories that are gonna stick to him. (and me and Sam)

We've been sledding, shooting, 4 wheeling, and basically doing what any three twelve year olds with a Jeep, guns, and plenty of space would do.




The boy took to shooting very well, and could now be considered an avid gun-nut. He also took to his cousin, and seeing the two have fun together would jerk a tear outta the meanest man in the world.





I've gotta take the Aussies over the hill to fly away tomorrow, and it's gonna be tough to see them go. I'll still have Sam, and that aint bad. I think the three of us have made memories that will be life-long. --- AND, I'll be surprised if we don't see Rhynn back here in the future. jd

That is too cool. Thank you for giving the foreigners a great time. A time that will stay with them longer than you can imagine. They should have pleasant memories of uncle JD and Murica.

You caught him at the perfect age, just before the hormones kick in.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that boy fell in love with THAT girl. At any rate, that's OK for cousins around here. jd

That’s awesome! You have gifted him with great memories that will never leave him. Hopefully you can do it again.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Awesome!!

 

[jonbearman]

Its a great story and he would blend in perfectly. Its a shame his mom doesn't just stay and be an muricin.

Pretty much made my day, thanks for sharing.

A buddy of mine prides himself with the fact that he corrupted a teenage French exchange student in the redneck ways of shooting guns, gigging frogs and noodling catfish.

She was changed for life, for the better.

Her parents weren’t too amused!

Nice work. Keep it up.

God bless America

That’ll put a tear to a glass eye.

I'll proudly take credit for what that girl (Sammie), knows about shooting. I am the closest thing she's got to a dad, and I'm blessed to be it. There is quite a back story with both of these kids, and it aint a pretty one.

My sister and I have both been chosen by God to be a rock in their lives, and it's made a better man of me than I'd ever have been. I can only hope to be "blamed" for giving her life plenty of stability and happiness as she grows up.



Those rifles aren't exactly the newest or most modern equipment that kids have these days. Sam is holding a Rem #6 that's nearly a hundred years old, and Rhynn has the old BSA Sportsman 5, which is probably from the 50's. I kind of think that these aren't the first kids to enjoy these rifles.

Easy to see who the boys favorite uncle is...forever!
Sam and your nephew look like a couple of badasses in the third pic.

 

[mousegunner]

Did he get used to the toilet swirling the opposite way?

Most excellent. We have lots of freedom that is not available to most of the world. We need to protect it at all costs.
