  1. China alone has over 400,000 ocean going fishing vessels!
  2. Yesterday I took the son and my visiting nephew out to the range for 3 1/2 hours. 300 rounds of 45, 44 Mag, 300 Blk, and 308, plus 300 rounds 22lr later, my nephew now knows how to shoot. Born and raised in California, by a mother who was negative on firearms, at 35 he never had a chance to learn about firearms. Other then a friends Glock he had never fired a pistol and never fired a rifle of any kind. Started him with 1911’s and safety training first. Then some basic principles of marksmanship. He picked it up fast and was consistently putting his shots in the black at ten yards. 25 is still a challenge for him. After letting him try out the 44 Magnum wheel gun, I got out the Ruger 10/22’s and let him get comfortable with framing a sight picture and shooting at 25 yards. Plus all the aspects of loading, unloading, checking the chamber and all the other safety rules. After we ran out of 22 ammo we moved over to the 100 yard range, and I had him practicing with the suppressed 300 Blk. With the reduced noise, he discovered I was right when I told him he was flinching when he pulled the trigger. So we worked on that until he was letting a smooth let off and doing nice groups. Finally I got out the M1A and let him run through 100 rounds of 308. By the end of the day he was doing pretty darn good. I didn’t say much about my son, because he is a dam good shot already, but living in a big city and working he doesn’t get much chance to shoot. It was just nice to see him for the first time in about three months. The two of them and my wife and I have done a lot of traveling overseas together, and my nephew is like a second son in a lot of ways. I really enjoyed teaching him how to shoot even if I had to wait 35 years to do it! He told me later he would remember this day for a long time. I will as well.
  3. That is fact. China accounts for by far the most plastic waste in the ocean. Plus they harvest over half of all fish caught in all the oceans. They are by themselves pretty much destroying our oceans.

    Before pic, forgot the after pic until it was cut up! Seved with a roasted garlic rosemary paste and a 23 year old bottle of wine. Was epic!
  5. Saw this on another forum: Once upon a time, a lonely Prince asked a lovely Princess to marry him. "Absolutely Not!" She said. So the Prince went out and started dating long legged beautiful women with large breasts, and going to bars all hours of the night, and drinking good single malt scotch, and artesian beers. And going fishing and hunting whenever he wanted, and eating steak when he wanted it and farting when he felt like it, and driving expensive sports cars and going to any sports events he wanted, and all his relatives and friends thought he was the coolest guy ever, and he even left the toilet seat up in the bathroom. THE END Ok no joke, just Nirvana ?

    Today: Wood roasting bone-in leg of lamb. Pics to follow.
  7. Probably not, but it all comes down to how it makes you feel. Like a Corvette. Doesn’t make sense until you get on a nice quiet road and punch the hell out of it. Then it makes perfect sense.
  8. One of my favorite quotes from a now deceased chef. For their own good, vegetarians should never be allowed near fine beers and ales. It will only make them loud and belligerent, and they lack the physical strength and aggressive nature to back up any drunken assertions.”
  9. Stingers are badass.

    Nice Boot! Read a blurb about 40 meals youshouldn’t eat after 40. Figured out I should not have made it past 41. But I got some ideas for this years birthdaydinner! Brisket, brisket and more brisket.

    Before and after, forgot the after until we had a meal off it. Rubbed down with salt coffee and garlic and put over a maple wood fire.

    What? You mean you buy store bought dry rub with all that savory product laying around??

    Amen Brother! This is what I cook my steaks and do my rotisserie on! Nothin but real wood! Save the Akorn and propane grills for smoking and other stuff now.
  16. On Lake Superior we call that late spring and early fall.?️
  17. Jay: Every thing you need on sale, $94 If it ever gets back in stock this century. https://www.armalite.com/product/10702302-ar10-black-collapsing-buttstock-kit/
  18. I give 50/50 odds they either discontinue or sell the Armalite brand.
  19. The amount of lost orders and lost marketshare by Armalite due to this extended out move has to be huge, Wonder if something else is going on? Companies generally plan out relocations like a general planning out a military campaign to minimize disruption and minimize lost sales and production. This is not normal or businesslike.
  20. Sorry for your loss Mrs. Barr. Volunteer firefighters do so much for their communities. May Mr. Barr rest in peace.
  21. This I just don’t understand. In my youth in retail, I had some wild times apprehending shop lifters and thieves. Granted it was the 70’s and if some one took a swing at you, you swung back. But this guy stopped a mentally unbalanced person from stealing a gun and ammunition, and gets fired for it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/sporting-goods-store-chain-fires-manager-nra-calls-hero/ar-AAzXZ35?li=BBnb7Kz
  22. Call them first.
  23. Got a decent start there.
  24. Good advice. Not a collapsible, but take a look at a Luth MBA 1. Gives you a lot of adjustments for a similar weight to the original. Don’t have to replace your spring, buffer and buffer tube either.
  25. Sig hires the best looking hookers.
