  1. I'm already making plans for next fall fiasco, hopefully you'll make this one
  2. Can a Canadian invoke the 5TH?
  3. At least these ones are not behind bars unlike the ones on https://www.jailbabes.com which could be a good thing or a bad thing...
  4. Or we could do it redneck engineering style...
  5. Welcome from British Columbia, like you seeking info is how I found my way here.
  6. So what's .338 Lapua look like?
  7. If I was a curator of an art gallery that's the type of artwork I would display,
  8. Larry, I'm just glad the two of you took the time to drop by even for a short visit.
  9. Simply hitting delete will not remove the file, just let the system know that space can be overwritten. Also consider that most businesses not only backup onto other drives they have multiple computers are networked to share files. The military and businesses with sensitive information have strict protocols for the permanent removal of files which is physical destruction of the HD. Even reformatting the storage media is no longer considered guaranteed deletion. As edgecrusher says cash is is key but also remember there will be cameras and you've done a cash sale in a world where credit is common.
  10. Kinda like Watership Down but with guns...
  11. Guess I'm going back next year seeing as I still haven't seen a roadrunner yet even though I was told they're all over the place plus the bank will not exchange my US change. In all seriousness I started this adventure thinking to myself that I'm going off to a foreign country to meet up in the middle of the desert with a bunch of gun toting strangers I'd never met... really what could go wrong? Had an amazing trip/adventure and would easily drive twice as long that's what it would take. Saw a cactus up close but not as close as some other had in the past, the baby scorpion was cool. Although i will point out one doesn't need to shake one's shoes or sleeping bag to check on the off chance a bear has snuck in...just saying. My first rattle snake to but dammit no roadrunner. The chance to meet some of the fine collection of deplorables that make up the group (and hoping to meet up those that didn't make it on future shoots) alone made it worthwhile then the food, at which point I'd leave happy. Then the desert platter was brought out and I finally shot full auto, silencers, broke 200yd with pistol(lucky shot) and rifle(going out to 1000) , downhill shooting both the class and practical.The generosity of folks letting me shoot their stuff and the knowledge shared( easily learned more over a couple days then I could on my own up here in a year plus and for that thank you. Hopefully the ATF and I can workout an arrangement that allows me to bring down and share some of my toys. I'm also hoping they'll also tell me away I can keep firearms in the US even if I'm not a resident.
  12. This ones for you @blue109

  17. from https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49909735 Seven people have died after a rare World War Two-era plane crashed and burst into flames at an airport in the US state of Connecticut. There were 13 people aboard the vintage Boeing B-17 - dubbed the Flying Fortress - when it crashed outside Hartford on Wednesday morning. The aircraft was civilian-registered and was not being flown by the US military, aviation officials say. Experts say only about 10 B-17 planes are still being flown around the US. "There were fatalities," State Police Commissioner James Rovella told reporters earlier at a news conference, adding: "Victims are very difficult to identify, we don't want to make a mistake." The B-17 flight departed at 09:45 local time (14:45GMT). Five minutes later it reported having difficulties. The crash occurred near the Bradley International Airport at 09:54. "We observed that the aircraft was not gaining altitude," said Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin Dillon. Image copyrightGETTY IMAGES Image captionThe B-17 was considered state-of-the-art when it was first introduced in 1936 Witness Antonio Arreguin told NBC News that he felt the heat from the fire 250 yards (229m) from the crash site. "In front of me, I see this big ball of orange fire, and I knew something happened," said Mr Arreguin. "The ball of fire was very big." Angela Fletcher, who lives about a half-mile from the airport, told the Courant: "It sounded like an 18-wheeler coming down the street and then it got louder. "Like so loud, it was vibrating things in the house. I looked out the window, and I saw this giant old plane come over the house that was very close, like oddly close to the house." According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the plane crashed at the end of a runway during an attempted landing. The Collins Foundation, a non-profit that owned the plane, said it was scheduled to participate in the "Wings of Freedom Tour" taking place at the airport from Monday to Thursday this week. 'Stirring symbol' Jeremy Kinney, the curator for World War Two aviation at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, says there are only around 10 B-17 planes still considered "air-worthy", while another 40 or so exist in museums and private collections. Mr Kinney tells BBC News that the strategic bombers were famous for their "rugged construction, their reliability, their ability to take the air war to the Nazis". Image copyrightGETTY IMAGES Ima They played a "central role" in the campaign over Europe, he says, adding that they became a "stirring symbol" for allied fighters. The aircraft's nickname comes from a newspaper reporter who dubbed it a "flying fortress due to all the machine guns that were protruding from the body" as well as its reputation for delivering US airmen home safely after missions flown from England and Italy. It could carry up to 13 50-calibre machines guns and 4-8,000lbs (1,800-3,600kg) of bombs. When it was first introduced in 1936 it was considered state-of-the-art, but by the end of World War Two it had largely been replaced by the B-29 "Super Fortress". "They are one of the most popular and one of the most important airplanes that people want to see," says Mr Kinney, adding that aviation fans also come to hear the "lumbering sound" of the plane's four engines. "It's an iconic symbol of World War Two and it's a really legendary airplane."

    Know a girl from England, family moved to Alberta, got invited to BBQ where prairie oyster were served. Half dozen 'oysters' in she suddenly began to wonder were prairie oysters come from as there are no oceans.
