  1. I remember seeing damage in Crescent City California from the Fukashima Tsunami. For some reason, this one only generated some 5 foot waves. We had a 4 foot seiche on Lake Superior last month from an extreme low pressure zone.

    Caught Dinner

    yep we are allowed 10 each so we could have picked up 5 more, but why? As it is we threw a bunch back. A bunch of smaller ones and the biggest whitefish I have ever seen! Those are the breeders, so better to throw them back. Got plenty to eat for a few days.

    Caught Dinner

    Caught a few dinners yesterday.
  4. We are in the middle of a torrential downpour/flash flood warning. 4 inches of rain so far and another 3 to 4 inches projected, followed by a 30 mph NE wind dropping the temperature to 57 F. Nasty!
  5. You guys make me glad I live on Lake Superior. Anything over 85 and I wilt.
  6. Water temp is high 50’s, so not bad. Fish fry for dinner was great! And we rarely get over 85F.
  7. Your just waiting for someone to sell you that " broken" Portugese Armalite AR 10 from 1962.
  8. Today the high is 85F. Went out fishing (see picture). By Wednesday the high will be 57F. That's Northern Wisconsin.
  9. Smart move.
  10. Good point. Thanks for a useful excuse.
  11. Today was the day, took every gun apart and cleaned it if it needed it or not. Good practice so I don’t forget disassembly/assembly idiosyncrasies of individual firearms. Now I will smell like Hoppes No. 9 and gun oil for a few days.
  12. Welcome, a good friend is a retired CG Chief. Thank you for your service, and enjoy that new to you AR10!
  13. Congratulations, yes they are a great shooting rifle. Glad you got some magazines with it, as those “B” magazines can be hard to find. The Armalite AR 10’s manufactured in Genseo Ill were guaranteed 1.5 MOA or less, and the AR10 T’s 1 MOA or less. They have become a bit player since they got bought out, but back then they were the top of the heap as far as quality. Good purchase.
  14. EDC Iver Johnson 3” 1911 with 2 extra magazines. Bedside Suppressed FNX 45, tritium night sights and attached underslide flashlight.
  15. Yeah, it’s totally screwing up my astronomy.
  16. Smoke from the Manitoba fires been killing us for the past two weeks. Hacking every morning when I get up. Dog even wants in the house to get away from it. Can’t see the other side of the bay most days.

    Ron - SR-71

    A picture of the A 12 that was at the Minneapolis ANG museum.

    Ron - SR-71

    Used to have an A12, the CIA version of the SR 71, on display at the Minneapolis ANG museum, but it got moved years ago. Enjoyed inspecting it.
  19. Not a fan of Medical shows, find them contrived and fake. Until I checked out “The Pitt” on Max. If you want to see a very medically accurate show about how a big city Emergency Room works, check it out. The whole season is about one day in a fictional Pittsburg ER. Well acted and well done.

    Caught Dinner

    Went out at 6am this morning, air temp was 30 F, and caught dinner.
  21. Sorry can’t help myself……
  22. My wife had an ancestor at Concord. His journal writings which her family has a copy of, say he was wounded and carried off the field of battle by an officer with the same last name I have. We often wonder if it was an ancestor of mine. Will never know.
  23. Friend in Madison lost a skylight and the front and rear windows of his car in the driveway in that storm. We got back to Wisconsin on Monday. Got up to smoke a pork shoulder this morning, was 30F at 5AM.
  24. Always enjoyed him. He was supposedly a “youth counselor” for a time in Minneapolis back in the day. Same age as me. He was reported to have told a rowdy kid “If you don’t calm down, I’m gonna hit you so hard your Daddy’s gonna die”. Don’t know if it is true or not but a good story.
