It is truly a different world, and officers like this don’t have a choice anymore. Credit to him for his courage and action.

Too soon?

Nothing I can add to that except Amen!

Nice set up. A very effective french drain. Did something similar to an old house we had.

I likey.

I am in need of advice for a shooting mat and a drag bag. Preferably a combo set up.

Saw that. Smarter move then running

Still do. Gave quite a few away to friends who don’t get fresh fish that often.

Magula loaders work well. The AR10 “B” Model Magazine Magula loader also works on M-14 mags, by the way.

That should do you well. Back in the late 70’s I inherited 1,000 once fired 30 cal (30-06) National Match brass from the 1960’s. Long story how my father got them. I made the mistake of loading ALL of them back up in 1980. I still have 150 or so I haven’t shot. Believe I used IMR 4770. Half of them I loaded with Sierra 165 grain boat tail soft points and the other half with(and this really dates me) Herter’s 150 grain soft points purchased in 1963 when they were a mail order one store front operation in Waseca, Minnesota. My dad had picked up 500 and never loaded them. I remember that day because my father bought me my first pistol as well. A Llama 1911 45 acp. Which was about as accurate out of the box as you would expect. Brand new it cost $27. I cannot remember off hand the powder charges, but both were midrange, as I had a Remington 760 pump that got fussy at max loads. Those cartridges have accounted for at least 30 deer between my son and I. Still reliable and still accurate.

Guessing yu have clay soil. The shear forces when clay gets engorged with water are brutal as I am sure you know. Good luck with it. I really like those shelves. Great idea.

my buddy and I got 20 more this morning. Freezers full

A good morning haul

Amen on that.

The moment when you know your day is going to turn to schit.

Lawns are overrated

I have given up. Between dandelions, encroaching forest, and a canine backhoe called a Great Pyrenees, lawn has become just another four letter word. Now with barely any rain for six weeks, I won’t mow until we get more rain. Just would stress the grass more.

So just enjoy life and Em!

Happy Father's day out there to all you Dad's. Sons call your Dad if you are lucky enough to still have them here. They helped make us what we are.

Happy Fathers Day Y'all!

Not mine but I liked it. The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Well, because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the wagon tramways, and that's the gauge they used. So, why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that same wheel spacing. Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break more often on some of the old, long distance roads in England . You see, that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since. And what about the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match or run the risk of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's as came up with this?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' ases.)  Now, the twist to the story: When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah . The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, a major Space Shuttle design feature, of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system, was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's as. And you thought being a horse's as wasn't important? Ancient horse's as*es control almost everything. 😁😁

Ky is one pretty state.

Northern Minnesota. Know it well.
