  1. We shoot around my father’s horses regularly. Their first encounter with it may cause a bit of a jump. They’ll be curious, they’ll probably watch it for a bit, but they’ll ease up to it rather quickly. My father is part of a local city’s mounted unit of their police department. It’s a volunteer group made up mostly of retired officers and a few other cowboys. My dad is just one of the other cowboys and a level 2 reserve with the department. They do a lot of work with the horses to desensitize and prepare for anything. It doesn’t take long to get them used to firing from horseback. Check out trainer Clinton Anderson. https://downunderhorsemanship.com/discover/clinton-anderson/ He has a lot of good videos on teaching these big dumb animals. I say that with ok due respect to horses, but they’re big dumb animals. Each has their own unique set of issues, but they’re all the same and the operating instructions work across the board. Sometimes you gotta figure out which buttons need to be pressed, but they all have the same set. How you work with and around them makes all the difference. I like the start with a cap gun for a bit, throw in the .22 and then step up to some pistols. I think you’ll be just fine. Good luck, and I hope this works out for you! We just picked up 20 acres about a year ago that took almost two years of headaches to land. It’s gonna be an awesome spot to raise my boys and I hope to get a few horses lined up some day. Small steps first though, I owe my wife a house before we get buried in bills feeding and caring for horses.
  2. I guess I’m just a heartless arsehole. But as mikes official caddy, Sherpa, whatever...I feel it’s my duty to make recommendations to help him stay in the game.
  3. Might just have to come down here in a few weeks...I’m sure there’s one available this fall.
  4. I think that’s why most of us misfits are here. It’s our own little island and most of don’t really do “social media” outside of this place. The core group is solid, and every so often we get some new folks that stumble in and immediately feel like family.
  5. Well....that went off the rails quickly. I blame 98.
  6. Were almost done with the 5.3 swap in my dads 03 LJ. Still shaking out some bugs between computers. He almost sold it. Had a banks kit on the stock motor and it just never ran right. Then this bright idea popped in. I still give him crap because it’s been almost a year now...and who knows how many dollars later.

    Ribs looks fantastic. I gotta work on the ribs. Haven’t been thrilled with any I’ve made yet.
  11. A little bit of gold and you’ve got Ironman in the making.
  12. Just make sure the comp is torqued down! Can’t wait to see the finished product...she looks dead sexy so far!
  13. The guy had to be a hoot to hang out with.

    Retirement has been rough on you...look how girly your hands are getting! who does your nails?! Those are damn near hand model quality.
  15. One of my favorites^^^
  16. Welcome from San Diego.
  17. Re-reading my earlier post...that was bitches, not “but he’s”
  18. You’re not out to show off are you? Run a class and beat up on the guys with fancy toys?....that ain’t right.
  19. Fair answer. I was expecting something to do with zombies, but I’ll take that one. I’ve got a decent Garrett. I need to get out and get into that hobby.
  20. Well....what do you do with those? They come with Oompa Loompas to run em?
  21. Laughable. Might as well ban alcohol and tobacco products too. Maybe their market really is more than a bunch of rebel flag waiving, good time having, gun toting rednecks after all. But I doubt it.
  22. Boise is one of the fastest growing places right now. I know, that ain’t where he’s at...but it only takes enough to turn the politics. You know who’s going? The hipster little wine bar but he’s who think it’s cool. Needs more social programs, but it’s a cool place man.
  23. The libs are invading the free states. Because they see nice towns, with nice people, affordable lifestyle. They WILL bring their garbage with them however and give it some time....it’s just like the place they left. Idaho and Arizona are well on their way. Texas’s too. So you pick up and vote with your feet, but guess what?? Those dumbasses will follow and fuk up the next spot too. They’re a disease. And just like the cancer they resemble....it’s gonna take a lot of radiation to slow them down.
  24. Yep. That couldn’t possibly be all your. Fake news. Where’s the other half?
  25. When you’re looking to part with that .22TCM, pm me.
