Damn I wish I lived a little closer. Just got off the phone.....this is gonna be good!

Stain, that's just your OPINION. He stated a FACT. When you train to shoot with a 3 man rapid response team for the largest mall in America, one where you have already saved the virginity of the mayors nephew...you only need a few a year. MAX. Let's see. 1st I'm sorry 2nd thank you for pitching another fat one.

I'm looking forward to seeing more articles come out about this. Most are spewing the same info and I question the origin of the 90000 acres. They mention the 116 mile river and land along it. If they are looking at the erosion/avulsion of the river like they are said to have used in the 1986 case...and if it's only along that 116 mile stretch, the strip of land would be 6400 feet wide for the full 116 miles in order to make 90000 acres. That's over a mile wide. Something doesn't add up. Now before you take that to mean I don't believe the story, stop. All I'm looking for is better documentation of where the numbers are coming from. Those numbers are so crazy, there's no way in hell they could ever win that battle. 900, maybe 9000 along the river...I could see possible. The hard part about natural boundaries is their ability to change. There is no perfect system to fixing a boundary when it is bound by a moving line. Like I mentioned before, if the movement is caused by a human act, the line will stay "fixed" at that point from then on. The idea of slow is supposed to be "slow and imperceptible". I find it hard to believe that the whole river has only moved one direction. This all smells like some sort of distraction again. Get us all fired up watching the BLM stories. Wonder what the left hand is up to?

You get crude oil delivered to your farm?

It's a leftist tactic to take information and skew it as far out as possible to prove a point. That's where I was headed with your water comment. Does that mean I want to dump in the lake?...no. But I'm not going to compare apples to cow turds and sell you a point. BP spills again. We should just ditch those pesky oil based products and move back to the Stone Age. We need oil...maybe you don't, but most of us do. Accidents happen. I've seen a whole lot of bitching about what has happened here, and what has happened there. What's your idea of a reasonable solution that can be implemented today? Let's talk about moving forward. Where do we go from here?

I wasn't answering you. Pointing out that this order is primarily for border protection and customs per the original link. I'm aware that BP and customs don't manufacture ammo, thanks though. I'm perfectly ok with buying 5 million rounds a year for the next 5 years for those guys. Almost doesn't sound like enough.

Here's an interesting link. When you compare materials that are closer to the raw level than say, bottled Dasani water....you get a little different view. Here's a link to a water utility site. The rate is $2.81 per unit of water and that's 1000 gallons. https://www.cityofmadison.com/water/contact/billing.cfm

You're probably right. I don't get it.. I likely never will. Never defended the BLM on this one. All I stated is these get tricky and it will end in court. I'd like to maintain the belief that some of the courts will do their job and not roll over for the man. I also said this should and will be a Texas vs Fed issue and shouldn't be shouldered by property owners. The tin foil hats I'm waiting for are how this land is also "being grabbed" to give away to a large corporation who is here only to enslave the people! Back to the serious side though, the Texas AG will plenty to talk about. Texas is one of the 20 states that was surveyed by a different fashion than the others. Don't take that to mean I'm siding with BLM...what I'm saying is the survey of Texas and the survey of the surrounding states are on completely different systems and have different definitions regarding water boundaries. Two different standards. Should make for a very interesting case.

Customs and border patrol.

Alright, I will jump on this one again. Not favoring BLM, but this is a "sticky" situation as they say. Water boundaries can be very tricky. There are many, many court cases surrounding these and every one is different. In the end, hopefully you will see the state vs the fed and not leave the land owners carrying the court fees. Accretion, reliction, avulsion are all in play. Now, aerial photos can show the change over time. Typically a sudden change will not move the property line while slow movements will. However, if the slow movements can be traced to human interaction, like the building of a dyke or structure that redirects the flow of water or deposits of land...the line doesn't change. We had a big case about that here where a break wall had been built out into the ocean and in result the beach grew down current...it that case the state owns the land. These cases do get messy, and how do you determine "slow" change? It can't be specifically defined. Is it one inch a year? Six inches a year? That will ultimately be for a court to decide. My guess, Texas will win this one. Don't lump this in with the rest of what's going on around town...but I can't wait to hear the conspiracy spin to this one.

Lol. ^^^^

That's almost enough for a new fur coat! Great work. Glad she likes her new toy.

Only pure gas I can get here is 100 octane vp racing fuel. Little nicer than I need for the lawn mower unfortunately.

BP was too far down the line. There won't be any left after the BLM order ...

Off to a good start.

Kinda like Cannondale quads....Tom will know what I mean.

Got a good screen shot of that one.

Damn....you beat me to it! Sorry bout your luck on that one. Hopefully you won't have any issues installing the new bipod.

Congrats! That's was fast!

Hell yeah! Hope it's smooth and effortless on her part! Good luck Matt!

Somebody should introduce those wolves to a nice gun free liberal university.

You have plenty of time to acquire a sand toy. If nothing else, Tom has a spare 500.

Thread detour....sorry Tom....hemi said he bought a toy hauler. Guess who has to come to the dunes next Halloween?

She's pretty. The worst I read was a somewhat thin barrel and a guy that sounds legit shooting only fair groups. I say go for it. Worst case scenario, you involve it in one of you're innevitable upcoming trades.
