I’ve decided that if you are buying from me, you are coming to me…with cash. I will afford you the same courtesy if you are the seller. I will be there at the agreed upon time unless something beyond my control prevents it, in which case I will notify you immediately. I cannot understand why this is so hard for people to do. It only takes a small bit of respect for your fellow man.

I’ve not experienced any problems from critters eating my sunflowers.

Fillet them, cut the meat into chunks and fry it. It’s worth a shot. I’ve tried drums, and they’re about as good as any other fish. If you don’t find that palatable, try cooking some in a pressure cooker, then making it into Pattie’s using a salmon patty recipe. A quick google search shows a plethora of Asian carp recipes.

My wife and I have probably been on our last cruise together, as it is bell on earth to me. She has friends she goes on trips with. That’s great with me. Oddly enough, although we’ve never had an opportunity to shoot hogs, one of her favorite things to do I’d frog gigging.

I like a beach if I can see it’s making my wife happy. I’d never have any interest in going to one without her though.

That’s great. My wife and I happen to enjoy each other’s company. Sometimes that involves one of us doing something when we might rather be doing something else. Usually we have common interests though.

I go when I’m asked. If not, I stay home.

I guess I'm the debbil. My kids worked when they were old enough.

Because God and John Browning said it was to be so. I've handled a Winchester lever action shotgun and several bolt action shotguns, and unwieldy is the term that comes to mind. Although Remington made some pretty cool pump rifles, I expect it was difficult to get top flight accuracy out of such an arrangement. Colt also made some really nice Lightning rifles, but for whatever reason, they were never as popular as the levers.

That does seem like a steal in today's climate. You'll love it.

Now that makes perfect sense. I’ve never used a progressive press.

That is some very sound advice, Grayfox. Farm labor provides some mighty fine life lessons. It is a shame all kids don’t get the privilege of growing up on a farm.

I guess I’ve been lucky as I’ve never used or felt the need to use a small base die. I can’t help but believe that a properly made sizing die should size a case back to SAAMI specs if adjusted properly. This should then work in a properly chambered firearm, just like factory ammo should. An AR is a battle rifle, designed for battle conditions, and is in no way “finicky”. I doubt seriously your AK would chamber an out of spec round either. I not sure how many ARs are laying around here, probably 8 or 10, and I assure you any of them will chamber, fire, and eject any in spec 223 or 556 round that’ll fit in a magazine. Perhaps your particular rifle has a really tight chamber, or perhaps you need to screw your sizing die into the press further. You’d really need to do some measuring to know for sure.

Got the peppers and tomatoes planted today. Now that t’s time to let Mother Nature do her thing…and to fight off critters and weeds.

I've never seen one of those. That's creepy!

A lizard has dug himself living quarters in the pot where I planted herbs. Maybe that’s it?

I got my garden in the ground this morning, except for the pepper and tomato plants. I get them from my neighbor who has a greenhouse and he hasn’t said they are ready yet.

Congrats on the new truck and impending retirement. Your old Tacoma is still running like a song.

Weather permitting, I’m riding a Harley Davidson now. 50MPG and much more fun than a truck.

Two of the last three trucks we've bought came from the classifieds here on TGO. The third one came from a bank repo auction. Screw a dealer! Have some patience and watch Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, and LSN.

Nice day for sure, sir! Hopefully your bike will come along shortly. Not exactly what you wanted, but my kid is about to sell a Suzuki S40 Boulevard with 4k miles. A spectacular beginner street bike that I still enjoy riding. A 650cc 1 cylinder engine is certainly unique.

I’ve become accustomed to it. A full faced helmet does seem to help.

Nice riding weather today. Wife was a skeptical at first, but now she’s started to ask if we can go riding. We’re really enjoying the FatBoy now. We’re going to try to do a 2-3 day trip on it this summer. I sure hope it goes well.

It’s just a one time deal. I’m not going into the babysitting business.

Nephew and wife had to go back to work this morning, and didn't have a babysitter. So far, so good!
