    Since April of this year I have had 4 pkgs mysteriously disappear all from the same FedEx facility in Nashville Tenn, one did show up 3 months later, used and wrapped up in a duct taped box. That I just couldn’t figure out. Has anyone else had issues with this FedEx facility. You can’t seem to contact them in any way

    Wow I thought FedEx here was bad but I never had a 3 month delay !!🙄

    Bye bye bananas

    Unfortunately that Luddite fool is the head of the Union and currently has an inordinate amount of influence at the negotiating table.

     

    My gut feeling is that this is going to be a long and nasty strike. Harold Daggett is not going to back down. I doubt he'll back down even if he looses the support of the rank and file.

    When asked if the president would apply the Taft Hartley act ( which he won’t) Daggett said   “ Yea go ahead instead of 30 containers a shift we’ll do 6 or 7. This guy is a real scumbag !!

    They also don’t want automation, well guess what it’s coming whether they like it or not! These companies want it and the workers have no business telling them how to run their business. They can strike for higher wages sure by all means go for it but demanding companies run the way they’ve want is ridiculous!😡

    I don't know.   Grant,  Polk, and Buchanan were probably worse. Nixon opening up to China has led to the situation with Xi.  LBJ gave us the welfare state.   

     

     

    Yep I agree , maybe not the worst but Carter is in that group as well as the current one!

    I was asking myself “How is this ‘Marksmanship’?” When I came across this in the article:

    What does it signify in terms of actual marksmanship? That’s a somewhat difficult question to answer as a lot of skill, engineering, and prep work—more than 1,500 hours, 
     

    It’s a very interesting effort, but I don’t consider feats like this to be “marksmanship”.

    I highly doubt a military marksman or a highly skilled hunter gets to plink away 69 times at their target or quarry. ;)

     

    Note: By “military marksman” I am not referring to the skill level badge 

    I get what you're saying but I still think it's pretty cool!

    Marlin 336 30-30 keyholeing?

    Years ago a friend bought a 336 because he loved mine. He had the same issue. Lovely sideways profiles of his bullets in the target. 
    He was quite upset. I let him try some of the factory loads I brought. Same thing. 
    It turns out the prior owner shot a bunch of lead bullets through the micro-groove barrel. 
    It took my buddy a while but he got the lead out (no pun intended) and it shot like a champ. 
    Perhaps the barrel is leaded up. 

    Similar to what happened to a  friend of mine. He bought it from somebody who  was doing a lot of cowboy long range. Once he got the lead out the rifle shot fine!

    Lawman

    On a Lawman episode this morning the judge came to town and needed jurors, because the accused's nasty gang was rumored to be coming to town so all the wimpy townspeople were scared to serve on the jury. The judge said he only needed ONE JUROR! Really?? Marshal Troop asked the judge if he could conduct a trial with only one juror.The judge said "Yes in extreme circumstances it can be done.

     

    QUESTION IS: Have you ever heard of this or is this just Hollywood?

     

    Quick note: Marshal Troop said he would draw names and pick one. He picked Lily the Birdcage saloon owner and she was the only one with enough guts to do it. Well turns out Troop and his deputy AND Lily, armed with a rifle for self defense,  killed all 5 of the bad guys and they never went on with the trial. I guess they got all the jurors they needed after the gang was eradicated. (???)

    That started before he was in office.  The OPEC embargo and First Oil Crisis were 1973 to  1975  Which led to the recession of '73 to  '75, which led to the insane inflation that Carter gets blamed for.  Putting all the blame on him is like putting all the blame for a house fire on someone who just walked into a house already ablaze.

    All I remember was gas lines when he was President, high interest rates and a terrible economy. It may have started before him but he sure didn’t help it at all which is why he was a one term president and Reagan slaughtered him!
