Yep. You touch one off you know you started somethin. I cooked up some loads fairly similar, I think it was an old John Taffin load using Unique and 158 grainers. It was .....interesting.......mighty interesting.

Skeeter Skelton load?

I always have to question the spiritual condition of anyone who puts pineapple on pizza.

Wives teach us, by means of that slow, miserable, soul-draining demise, that we really don’t want any part of an eternity in hell.

As much as I love my old 4” 686, I rarely carry it except to hunt with. I carry this on me a whole lot of the time, if I’m not toting my 1911. Smith and Wesson Model 66 .357. It’s the later model with the 2.75” barrel. I’m always skeptical of Smith’s guns with that stupid heritage-ruining lock, but I bought this one from a gentleman on here several years ago and it’s been my nearly constant companion ever since. I usually keep it stoked with Underwood .38 +P 158 grain. This one paired with my beloved little pre-lock 640 makes a superb combo.

Late to the picnic here but my all around favorite is my Smith 66 carried in my holster I made for it. Versatile and a good shooter. Sort of an even tie for second would be my Sig P226 9mm or my Springfield lightweight 1911 .45.

Friend of mine sent me a list of some guns he’s selling. He knows I’m looking for an AR. He has an Alexander arms Incursion rifle in 5.56 and a Franklin Armory A.R. 15 (I don’t know which model yet). I don’t know anything much about these two brands. Trying to research them is irritating. When I try to find Franklin Armory AR15 reviews, all I find is talk about the binary trigger, which I care nothing about. Same with the Alexander Arms, all I find is talk of the 6.5 Grendel. Does anyone know anything about the quality of these two brands and the materials used, especially in the bolt and the barrel?

Well dang. This seemed to work before. All this time and we’ve been doing it wrong?

Dude, you’re close by. Give me a call if you need help. A man can only endure so much.

Looks like Dolph Lundgrin’s ancestor

I found this year’s new year’s eve poster.

Boy, won't the suspects' dads be disappointed. I imagine so, that they got caught.

I stayed out til 3 last night. The radio traffic sounded bad over there. I just talked to dispatch a few minutes ago. They’ve made a lot more progress than I would have thought. They’ve already shut the emergency operations center down, road crews only have three roads left to clear, only one minor injury. One man is unaccounted for but neighbors have told them they have seen him.

Showed this to my son. He said he heard him and his parents are getting family mugshots in the spring.

If it’s during business hours when the courthouse is open, we go there to get an arrest warrant drawn up. As a judicial commissioner you’d be the one being called out at all hours of the night, through the wee hours of the morning, up until the courthouse opens, to draw up the arrest warrants, including all weekend. I know somebody’s gotta do it, but I never figured out why anyone “wants” to do it. ETA: (In response to the question about the hours.)

Man, here’s wishing you a far less exiting life going forward. Also, it’s takes a special kind of people to rescue and adopt children. I greatly admire you for that.

I get into more dadgum trouble that way.

I hate my life as it is and I still wouldn’t trade with them either.

Saw several does and a couple of baby spikes, along with a flock of turkeys. I spent the entire day in the stand and didn’t see one shooter buck. Wife wondered why I didn’t take some does. I told her if you’re like me and NOT an expert hunter the best chance for a buck is early season. I’d like to get a buck or two before I start taking does. Going to try again tomorrow morning Lord willing.

Oh nice! Thought I was looking at a Mauser action but wasn’t sure.

Just went and looked at that. Outstanding! Proud young man. That’s a dern good looking rifle too. What is that?

Nice looking basket weave stamping. Get some sort of concho or medallion to put where that hole is nobody will ever know. Great job on that. I’ve found that leather working is a much deeper well than I ever imagined. It’s a never ending learning experience.

Sent this to my son early this morning. He was supposed to join me today but his schedule wouldn’t allow. I tend to get sarcastic when I haven’t gotten enough sleep and things aren’t going well. Opening morning report: Off work 11:00pm previous night. In bed by midnight. Up at 4:00am. Feeling of approximately negative-6 hours of sleep. Left house approximately 3.6 months later. Drove to hunting area. Parked and walked remaining distance to stand. Temperature 30 degrees. Wind blowing out of the N, S,E,W,NW,NE,SW,SE. Approximate wind speed 751.395 MPH. Next objective: Drink coffee. Saw a couple bucks about two weeks ago while I was up here working, but I’ve only seen 4 does today. Trying to hang out til afternoon but this wind is aggravating. Anyone had any luck so far?

My only surprise was that I didn’t know Chattanooga was that bad.
