  1. This morning a disabled friend of mine had an appointment. I volunteered to drive. We got finished right at noon, so we swung into Sonic for lunch. Started to order our usual Super Sonic bacon double cheeseburgers when the voice on the speaker came back "Sorry, we currently aren't serving double burgers. Single patty only". WHAT! Sure nuff, there was a message on the order screen which read: "We are currently serving a limited menu. Some of the items you want may not be available. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Ok, I can deal with social distancing, wearing masks, so many places closed and all the other stuff Covid has brought us. BUT NO BACON DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS! Oh man, that's over the line! The end times are truly upon us.

  2. The rise in popularity has little to do with fish and a lot to do with getting away from family.

  11. Call me Joe Exotic, captured (or he captured us) one of those mythical and elusiveTN Black Panthers. He is carefully hiding in the lower right. Not a hunter, but have spotted elk and bear in the park, a herd of buffalo, turkey at my in-laws, deer in my backyard and the occasional red fox. Other than coyotes, it appears East TN has a healthy ecosystem and TWRA does a pretty nice job with land management.

  12. Even though most of the local farmers markets are closed, some of the vendors are still setting up in their locations. One of them, maybe Midtown, has a refrigerated trailer that has coastal goodies and gator. Fayette Packing is still open, you just have to call and place your order. I have a couple of local farmers I use if I want beef or pork in bulk.

  17. To me, I am appalled at how ill prepared the CDC (Redfield) and the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Disease (Fauci) were for this pandemic. The CDC (Hint: Center for Disease Control) had one job and they blew it. They're barely even in the discussion. Fauci seems to be leading the effort, but Fauci has been Director of the NIAID since 1984! The guy is a dinosaur using the same approach he used for AIDS 30 years ago! Remdesidir is a joke. It only helps AFTER hospitalization and only provides benefits that are marginally significant. And the hype about vaccinations is equally frustrating. Even if they find a vaccination, which is still debatable, I'm not taking a vaccination and millions of others won't either. To me, the best approach is boosting the immune system of the entire population. That's surprisingly EASY to do... exercise, lose weight, eat healthy, and take supplements shown to boost the immune system and provide antiviral protection. You might be thinking, "Oh that would be really hard to do." Actually, if we threw a few hundred billion dollars at the problem, most people would come around, either by the carrot or the stick. In fact, millions would start doing this on their own if only our medical professionals would start talking about the benefits of proactive health, instead of wasting time talking about vaccinations. Since I last posted on vitamin deficiencies, more studies are showing a correlation between vitamin D deficiency and the severity of Covid 19. Vitamin D also helps suppress the cytokine storm that is a primary killer with Covid 19. I've started going to the NY Times OpEd page and posting about vitamin D in the comments section on articles on Covid 19. Maybe, just maybe, some journalist will take the ball and run with it... goodness knows, our medical experts aren't doing it. Here's one of those new studies. It's database is ~445 million people so you'd think it would be big enough to get Fauci's attention. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40520-020-01570-8

  18. This is just another downside to open carry. It can cause unwanted attention. It's not worth the hassle of debating or arguing with a business over their views of carrying a gun into their business. If they don't want me to carry there then I'll just go somewhere else.They should at least post a sign as to avoid any misunderstanding.

  19. I feel like this is an opportunity to reiterate that it’s good idea to find a local meat supplied butcher. Also, use this as an opportunity to diversify the diet and add more types of meat to the menu. Wife found a local supplier of bulk amphibian/reptile/coastal seafood. Last time I was home I did some fried frog legs and gonna have some gator next time. Maybe some shrimp as well.

  20. Check out Troyers in Limestone. Had about everything the couple times we have been there in the last month. Just get there early. Plus you can order a 60lb pack of chicken great if you feel like working that much up. Takes a few days to come in.

  21. Gun has been cleaned/greased twice, to no avail. I'm going to check the ejector, and hopefully the new springs should be here soon. Theres a 32acp stainless that's been for sale for a few weeks on armslist. I believe he was asking $750 for it.

  23. Yeah, the Walther PP series is another one of those guns I sorta have a thing for. The S&W version in .32 is quite scarce. I bought the only one I ever saw for sale. Sent it to Walther Arms in Ft. Smith Ark. to have the recall done and its been 100%. Great little gun. top row: .380s Middle row: 32acp Bottom row: .22LR BTW: Bond's gun was a Blue PPK in .32. If I ever run across one, I'll buy it!

  24. Got out to the range this afternoon. I have an new MP 9 C 2.0 that I have had some problems with not cycling. I took some Federal 115 FMJ practice ammo out this time, and fired 100 rounds through it. Did not have any stoppages out of it, with the federal ammo, this time. I been firing WWB 11gr rn practice ammo previously. I cleaned and lubed the pistol well and had good success with it on this outing. I have another, w/o a safety on it, that I have been carrying for a couple years that I have had no problems with. I have about 800 rounds through it at this time. I really like these pistols, but also have a Taurus 7 shot 357/38Spl revolver I carry all the time also. I did not fire it on this trip, but have plans to do that on Monday. I think 100 rounds is about my limit with arthritis. My wife took her 2 revolvers out(Lady Smith mdl 65 357/38 spl, and Ruger LCR 5 shot 38 Spl and run another hundred rounds of 38 spl through them. She liked the Gongs, for sure, after I sprayed the bare metal with white primer paint so she could see where she was hitting. She was able to hit the 4" gong every time with matter of fact fire, but had to go to the 6" for rapid fire to keep all shots on target. We practiced from 15 ft and had no problems with splatter from the RN ammo. It is my plan to have her learn how to run the MP 9MM C 2.0. Both my MP's have the 4" brls on them but just one does has a manual thumb safety on it. Hopefully I will develop some drills and movement into my practice once again. Also want to do some draw and fire drills in the future. I will use the humanoid targets of this. Was a nice afternoon for a trip outside shooting. Am tired of being confined to our home because of the virus. Have plans to go to Defeated Creek Campground, outside of Carthage TN, and on Cordell Hull Lake, on the 1st of June. Will stay to the following Saturday as they canceled our first 8 days because of being closed due to the virus, and it is hard to get reservations at that park. Will be elated to get some good times with our grandkids and get some fishing in. Looking forward to some serious outside time.

  25. Went to Kroger as well today. The only ground beef was their high dollar vacuum packed organic stuff. It’s good, but only 90/10. I want leaner when making chili.

  26. The price of ground beef has got way out of hand around my area. Thats really an understatement.
