Big fun today even if it was soggy as a frogs butt when we first got there. Drove down in a steady drizzle. It was not looking good at first, but a check of the radar showed all clear once the band of rain passed by. No sign of Dub at first so I called him. He did not sound real happy. Seems his truck was stuck on the steep trail. That trail was slicker than bucket of eels , the truck was off the trail and resting against a small tree. The tree actually probably saved a very big problem and kept the truck sort of on the trail. Dub figured the best way to get unstuck was to cut the tree down, no saw to be found but I did have a hatchet in the toolbox. Ian and Mac worked on the tree like a couple of beavers and had it lopped down in short order. The plan worked great, Ian was able to fire the truck up and cut the wheel, it spun a bit and went back up onto the trail. He backed it quite a ways down the mudhill to flat ground. It was awesome We had a great time, as the day wore on the sun was shining and it ended up being great weather. But it was very wet and muddy early on, the trail the truck was on was totally wet mooshy mud. I did not need the boots by the time we left but I had dry feet the whole time. Not sure who else of the early arrivals could say that. Them boots are the shizz. We had not been shooting all that long when the neighbor came by. Two year old taking a nap, common courtesy, and high powered rifles. The guy was so stereotypical it really was funny. Now if I had lived there I would have come over bitching, but it would have been because I had not been invited. And I would have been toting my guns inviting myself to join in the mayem. And of course it is never an official meet and shoot unless John E Law comes to the party. Our lawman was very personable and sort of laughed that he had to come out. Seems everyone in a 7 mile area had called on the noise. He was just doing his job and never once asked us to stop shooting. Of course he did ask if we knew some guy named Neil who goes by the handle LumberJack, seems they were looking for him about some donkey porn collection they found in a storage unit. No worres Neil, we all denied every hearing of you. I am pretty sure Kwe's .308 Saiga is what was drawing the unwanted attention. Aside from a .50 cal I have heard before that was the loudest rifle I have ever been around. It sounded like a bazooka. Was nice meeting everyone. And special thanks to Ian, and especially his friend who let us shoot the crap out of his little hollow. Thanks, it was very much appreciated that you hosted us hooligans.

At OhShoot's request....hope I don't take up too much space or put anybody in an unflattering pose.

I heard Rush's initial monologue on Fluke (Thursday & Friday of that week), and also the following Monday. I agree, his assessment was on target. But, when I heard him analyze the hearing testimony, I did not hear him directly call her a sl*t. Rather, he inferred that 1. the costs seemed excessive, the frequency was absurd, and the natural perception by the public would be to regard these the actions of a sl*t. He also inferred that someone demanding contraception at taxpayer expense could be regarded as working for sex, i.e. the actions of a prostitute. I don't recall exactly how he worded his Friday analysis, but do not seem to recall him pointedly saying "Fluke is a sl*t", but rather the actions and testimony were consistent with the behavior of one. He even wondered aloud "what her parents think" about her necessity for the amount of contraception and her asking the government to pay for it. He even asked what the "return on investment" for the taxpayer would be. He apologized over the weekend, and explained his apology on the following Monday. His reason for the apology was not a correction of facts, but that he had responded in a manner that would be normally deployed by his opposition. He "sank to their level" was the way he put it, and apologized for *that* reason. Me, well, if it looks like a turd, smells like a turd, and squishes like one, it is not necessary to taste it in order to be certain. She is a shill. Anyway, I bet her family is proud.

Glock 26 fo' life!!! Seriously.....I'm pretty sure my G26 will be with me until I die.....it is the perfect blend of firepower, wieght and concealment all wrapped up tightly in a handy dandy plastic carrying case.

Here's a standard tacticool option straight from Ruger: Other 3rd party stocks exist, too. Butler Creek makes a folding stock w/grip for it: - OS

Meh, me and my subbie rolls this way: - OS
