Milo and scooter on break

Very nice 2004 Ruger Blackhawk .357 with 4 5/8" barrel. Barely a cylinder turn wear present on this 20-year-old gun. Doubt it's been fired much. I have not fired it at all. $650 ... $600 GONE

“Leave The World Behind “ on Netflix. It seems very relevant to our world today and also has a nod towards prepping.

Here's my daughter, Maggie, with our purebred yellow labs Daisy and Shelby, and our pitbull / cattle dog mix, Barrett. We have always had a dog since we first got our own house. The kids grew up with a big 90lbs pitbull / black lab mix, Sebastian, who was so gentle that he'd let them bounce on his head, and so intimidating that the Jehova's Witnesses stopped knocking. Sebastian was a rescue, just like every dog we've had since. He was a 7 month old that was too much puppy for his original family to handle. Being black and a pit mix, he was not likely to be adopted. We found him at the pound on his last chance month, and he was the best-behaved dog anyone could ask for. When we moved to a house with property, Sebastian gained a little brother, Scout. He was a cattle dog / shepherd mix that looked just like a half-sized German shepherd. A lifelong puppy-sized short-haired shepherd that leapt up cliff faces like a mountain goat. He was a street rescue from Calexico. Injured in his first weeks of life, a dog charity imported him to the US. Whatever happened to him down there left a permanent impression on him, because he was extremely, inconsolably aggressive to only one kind of person: Hispanic males. He was a mixed mutt from the streets of Mexico; he was our Racist Street Taco. Barrett was a rescue from the pound; friends picked him up in Texas as he was about to be put down. He'd had a hard first year; he grew up in the shelter and overcame Parvo. My friends tried keeping him but he had a submissive peeing habit that they couldn't beat. They drove him 1000 miles to us in Chattanooga just to give him another shot. It's been six months and there's no more peeing. I like dog training. His purebred sisters are rescues, too. They were $1000 AKC puppies who were adopted by a single lady who works 10+ hours in an ER and lives in a condo. Apparently, she decided that might not be the best recipe for success with two 60lbs dogs after the puppies destroyed the condo a few times over and earned her some HOA violations. We agreed to take them in, and now they're right at home on acres upon acres of private ranch. We never go out to buy a dog. There are so many in need already, and somehow they seem to find us at just the right time. We love our dogs, and we're glad to have a place for them.

Here are a few pictures I didn't know I had on this computer. The one is of Kasey in the Jeep and ready to go for a ride. The other one is of Buttons. He was my wife's dog and I adopted him when my wife passed away. He was a Chinese Cryst and the only hair on him was on his head and I had him for about 10 years after Margie passed away and he passed away from heart failure at age 15. I had him cremated and buried his ashes with Margie.

Friends from day one, inseparable. Coal and Sadie.

Ready for Steel Challenge competition or fun plinking. Tippmann M4 with TEN magazines ($25 each), and C-More rail red dot. I used it once in steel challenge and then switched to rimfire pistol class. More to my liking. It's a nice running .22 AR. $1000 in the set-up, will take $700 for all of it. Still have factory box and comes with a nice canvas case. SOLD

I recently purchased the Forster Curved Linkage for their Co-Ax press and I'm so impressed, I just had to share. I had looked at the InLine Fab "Increased Access" links, but didn't see much benefit. As you can tell from the pictures, the Forster links really do make a difference. I picked them up from Mid South for $29, worth ever penny.

If you have a smoker, try a stuffed venison backstrap. Butterfly cut the venison, stuff with cream cheese and finely chopped onions, wrap it with bacon and put it in the smoker at 200 until it reaches 140. Pretty tasty...

Here is another few of Darby I didn't know I had on this computer. As you can see Darby and Kasey look like they should be sisters but they are not. You can tell the difference in weight is about the only way I can tell them apart in pictures.

Dodger and Stryker. Dodger was supposed to be a corgi mix, but it turns out he's almost German Shepard sized. Stryker is pure Corgi. He also sheds a lot, so we made him Trump

This is my boy Festus. He is a friend ,shop foreman and guard dog. Honestly don’t think he would hurt anyone. But his bark has scared many that didnt expect it.

Thank you all for sharing the pics of your pups! Just a quick post before I head in to work a bit. Good on you @A.J. Holst ! Awesome helper you’ve got. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Boo before and can confidently say she is a “Good Girl”, but I would not want to get on her bad-side. My pups, 2 sets of Pekingese (Bastian & Lil then Buckley & Grace) over a 25 year period are in Heaven guarding my Bride. But I know Rhonda has her hands full with them! Entitled little devils but they gave us a lot of love in their time. (My son just sent this pic to me after I told him about my vicarious living through it). Thanks again to all! The little guy is Poe. He’s resting on his sister Nala. Nala is a squirrel killer. Poe couldn’t be bothered with such.

Matilda and Venus. Our Great Dane and our step dog. Venus belongs to my step daughter Timmy, our 7-9 year old part Dane rescue with Matilda Timmy and Matilda competing for Mama's attention. Don't mess with Mama, they don't like that. Timmy is 140lbs of attitude, he knows what you tell him, he just decides if and when he will do it. Matilda is 3 years old, covid dog, she sleeps between us. Venus is a big round ball of chicken. the pic of her laying with Matilda is because she couldn't get out of the corner.

RIP Roofus 2009-2022

North Clarksville is torn up. At least one dead. I watched this thing go past my house and thank God we didn't get hit. It looked like a wall of rain when I saw it. I'm off duty but I'm sure I'll get called in. There are a few whole neighborhoods that got their houses smashed. Cars flipped upside down . It's pretty bad. Prayers to all the victims .

like new in box and was purchased new by myself. The colt is a 3in barrel.

There was a time <maybe not so long ago, I don't remember> when I wouldn't know why that's so darn funny.

Watched, thanks for the heads up, I did enjoy it. Love and Monsters Not hoards of zombies, just mutated bugs and such. https://www.netflix.com/title/81277430

Emerson CQC-7 folder in pocket. ESEE 4 fixed These two are workhorses in my humble opinion.

I bought it new in June of 2022

The CX 4 storm uses the same magazine as the PX4 storm pistols. It will NOT use the . 40 mag that goes in the 96FS models. I don't know why Beretta went and messed around with a magazine system that had worked perfectly for soany years.

We will try to watch tonight.

Praying for those involved

Watching 17 local, prays to all, be safe.

5 shots per charge No hearing protection required.

I'll have to check that out.

I retired in March of this year. For some reason I don’t get up so early anymore? Lol

Ad edited for price change. I've been looking around more, and, when I can find these, the prices are from here to Valhalla, meaning all over the place. Depending where I looked I either had it overpriced or underpriced. I lowered the price to $1300 firm. I won't give it away and that is as far as I'm going.

Mine can in today, as all ways a great calendar from a good bunch, now if I can only win.

I don't think it's just about a church shooting though. I'm on our church's safety team and recently a handgun was discovered in a diaper bag. My experience with firearms let me handle it carefully and make it safe until the parent could get a talking to. I get your feelings about carrying at church though 100%. I struggled with it. This is the house of the Lord right? The decision was made pretty easy for me though. I'm a wall flower and after about 7 years of attending my church, i knew about 3-4 people. One day i got introduced to one of the safety team folks. After talking for a few minutes, he asked if I would be interested in serving. After saying yes, suddenly i started being drawn into being a recognized face. I talk to more people, they talk to me. I've started attending mens groups, bible studies and i'm even an usher now. The handgun is just there. Lord willing, i'll never need it.

God feeds me as well as protects me. He gave me the ability to go get food, however. He doesn’t simply lay it on the table every day. Just something to ponder.

I agree. I don’t like crowds. Anywhere at any time. Sad to see this is what is needed these days. It is what it is now. I am starting to see signs more and more about no firearms being allowed in businesses. I refuse to give up a right under our constitution to attend, shop, dine, or anything! My Doctors office in Lenoir City has one of these signs up now. In the same small city that just a few weeks ago, an idiot walks into Walmart and pops off 8-10 rounds in the air with his rifle. Thankfully no one was injured or hurt. After having a serious talk with my Dr, it seems that her insurance company required it. Although I understand why she had to install this sign, it still means that I will have a different doctors office the next time I’m in need. Do NOT sacrifice your rights for anything. Church, Dr office, or grocery store. You may be the guy/gals who stops evil from attacking your community. Heads on a swivel guys.

I had at least one dog in my life since age 6 and most of them were or are rescue dogs. The last 2 where some type of terriers which 1 of them I had for 18 years and she was rescued by me from a big wild yellow Tomcat that had stole her from a litter somewhere and was going to make a meal of it until a 22lr ended that. Animal control had been trying to trap it without success so when I had the chance I took it and I thought it had a rat but it turned out to be a newborn puppy that I ended up bottle feeding and buying doggie milk at 10 bucks a can which the Vet set me up with all the stuff I needed. I had animal control come out and collect the dead cat and all their cage traps they had set around my house. The guy thanked me for killing the cat as he was getting complaints from everyone in the neighborhood about it. I named her Kasey and I had her for 18 years and lost her to heart failure. It was like losing a Child and I still have her on top of my TV console. I had her cremated and placed in an urn. About 3 months a friend of mine brought a dog to me that could have been Kasey's sister in appearance and he had to find a home for her because he was moving and the new place didn't allow pets. Her name was Darby and I took her in. I only had her about 3 years and lost her to kidney Failure and I have her on my TV console also. Now for present time I have a best friend name Rosie and my daughter was doing Home Health Care and one of her patients was a breeder of Basset Hounds and she had a 5 year old that she could no longer breed and was going to have her put down and my daughter sent me a picture of her and I told her to get her so she told the woman that her father was Rosie so they made arrangements to get her to me. I still have her and she is now almost 8 years old and spoiled rotten.

This is Gypsy the Wonder Dog, dressed up for Christmas. She turned 8 this July. People frequently ask what breed she is, and I tell them with confidence she's a purebred brown dog. There's surely a good bit of Doberman heritage there, but it's mixed with some other stuff. Cheers, Whisper

Last weekend, doing it again today, 4p -6p at the Northshore Kroger. Swing by for free pets

Looks like he ought to be smoking a pipe. My wife was the same. She thought people were crazy to let a dog in the house. I brought our lab home one morning and left for the day. When I came back home, she was sitting on the couch and the dog laying beside her. He trained my wife quickly.

My three boys.

Here's my lot... Duchess and Winchester. We lost Ruger ,our Black male, in October and are still dealing with it. He was with us for 12 years and our pack is not the same. UPDATE Duchess went to join Ruger last Monday night. She lost her battle with bone cancer. Pain and sorrow are not what I wanted this year. She is at rest now....... I look forward to being with them when I get home to the Lord.

This was our 120 pound lab. The wife said no dog in the house and absolutely not on the furniture, yet here he is. He passed at only 3 years old from cancer. It's been a a couple of years, but still not ready to replace him, he was a good one.

This is Ellie. A bit neurotic at times but a good dog.

This is Shadow, aka the galloping goober. 100lbs of dumb. He'll be 4 on Valentines day. His dad is a black lab and mom is a boutique big terrier. Their owners (friends from kids' school) didn't think mom was old enough yet and went on vacation. He has 12 siblings.
