  1. Saw this on a web page. You distance and desert shooters: Thoughts and opinions? Valid or not?
  2. Welcome! Enjoy that Matrix.
  3. Now that’s entertainment! Too bad they left so soon. We see you, bye!
  4. Raised night sights for my FNX45
  5. I use it for both 300 Blk and for 44 Magnum, which will be my back up sidearm for pigs.
  6. Thank you sir! That 110 gr with H110 powder looks just the ticket. 2450 fps? Thats movin!
  7. Have some AMAX bot thinking more of Supersonic/expansion tip loads even though I will be suppressed.
  8. I will have the opportunity next winter to do some serious pig hunting. I will probably use my AR 10, but in certain areas I may need to go suppressed due to multiple critter opportunities and/or development not that far away. so I am thinking of using my suppressed 300 Blk, but with a supersonic hunting load. Suggestions from you experienced pig hunters as to a good handload?
  9. Good one a classic already

    Grilling

    Walleye from an unspoiled Canadian lake.
  11. I turned mine into the sherrifs office for destruction
  12. Exactly. Freedom of choice depends on knowing the truth. Intentional fraud needs to be penalized.
  13. The Opiate companies were completely unethical the way they promoted to doctors, claiming they had “solved” the addiction issue with their products. I used to listen to them and watch their ultra aggressive behaviour to promote their products. I think the Federal government should charge them for the costs to society, which Trump, to his credit, has suggested. 98, there are good things about advances in medicine, and that brain mapping sounds like one of them. Glad for you and your son you discovered it.
  14. Truth. The pharmaceutical industry is not about healing people. It is about making the most money possible.

    MUGSHOT MONDAY

    Yep! Chelsea#1 Kandi #2. Jenny McCarthy was up there as well.
  16. Thank you for confirming this.
  17. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why? 21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary. 2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin hisreturn walk and why? 21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1 3. Why are his gloves wet? His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle. 4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time and if not, why not? He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder. 5. How often are the guards changed? Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. 6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited to? For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30.' Other requirements of the Guard: They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin. The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror. The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, {the most decorated soldier of WWII} of Hollywood fame. Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty. In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington , DC , our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They respectfully declined the offer, 'No way, Sir!' Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson. The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930. I have not validated this, but if true, very very much respect for them.

    Grilling

    Looking awesome guys! Just a quick post how they cook lamb in Argentina.
  19. Next time I cook one I will snap a photo of the round steaks the butcher cuts off my side of beef every year. 1 and 3/4 inches thick and 18 inches in diameter. And so tender they don’t have to be tenderized. Just grill them like any other cut.
  20. Because therest of us would be jealous.
  21. Anything past medium rare is heresy.
  22. No stickers no FB posts. Low profile in these days is good.
  23. Welcome FloydieG. Like to hear your opinions of the different makes of 1911’s sometime. Not easy for some of us nonmetallurgists to discern what is really good versus what “looks” good.
  24. And it won’t do one bit of good.
  25. It is not law. It is a petition to put it on the ballot in Oregon. It was written by some religious “leaders” according to reports and is not currently before the Oregon legislature as a bill.
