Ugh. The tractor is due for the 50 hours "break-in" ALL fluid/filter change. Six gallons of hydraulic fluid & the before & after filters, engine oil & filter and front differential oil. NOT looking forward to it.

I did. A lawyer is going to do/say anything to sway a jury. What's he going to say about that your factory ammo named "Critical Defense" or "Engagement Extreme" or "Xtreme Defender" or "Extreme Terminal Performance"? I'm going to save the contributions El Chapo made to the thread. Because when this comes up again, and it will, they're based in the reality. I've had more FTF with factory ammo than what I load. And I'm not talking Winchester white box or CCI Blazer. I've said that here many times.

Didn't watch the video. Can anyone cite a case where "handloads" made a difference or were even brought up in a trial? Much less where some attorney said, "Ohmygawd he's a demon/war-monger/just itching for a fight because he loads his own ammo!"

If the pics in this article are any indication, it looks like they're leaning more toward anime.

During the damnpanic, at the peak of woke & DEI, on another forum someone observed that, "There aren't any white people in commercials, ads or promotional media any more."

Used to do all the auto work (except mount tires) for financial reasons. That stopped some time ago. When we got the Challenger in 2009 I started doing the work on it because I did want the grease monkeys getting in it. That lost it's amusement quality after about five years.

Just watched the video again, and I'm reminded of "lunch" down at the huntin' cabin. And there's been years where the weather allowed for that attire during deer season - the last two weeks of November. . .

Had an uncle that drank pickle juice. Swore by it for indigestion. My dad would rather have a raw green onion dipped in a pile of salt than any other vegetable... except maybe raw cucumbers and onions soaked in white vinegar overnight.

Same in NC. Since EV & PHEV owners don't pay it, they get hit with an additional fee when paying for their vehicle registration & property tax. I wonder if they'll get a prorated refund. 🙄

I've never seen a pipe before, but mokume gane makes for some beautiful knife scales & bolsters.

On that note, check out some of the tomato stakes in the picture in this article.

First picture... they forgot to zip tie some. Been a looong time since I've seen another MAK-90.

Modern belt loop or clip watches are oriented the same way, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y23N75W I wore one like this for many years. Still have it... somewhere.

By cracky it does... now that you said it. My mind was seeing rolled up metal (or whatever it's coated with) where someone had been grinding on it And it matches the tape on the back of the grip.

Yeah. I got that. 🙄 I'm talking about this. The top of the slide in front of the ejection port. It looks like it has been "worked on".

Hand is dirty. Gun is filthy. Did he just dig it up? And what's up with the top of the slide where his thumb is?

The decommissioning of Lake Erie and Shiloh leaves the Navy with five cruisers in service – USS Robert Smalls (CG-62), USS Princeton (CG-59), USS Gettysburg (CG-64), USS Chosin (CG-65) and USS Cape St. George (CG-71). And they'll be gone by the end of 2029. https://news.usni.org/2026/10/01/3-navy-ships-decommissioned-cruiser-uss-robert-smalls-makes-final-homeport-change

Some years ago the local fish wrap did an article with pics of the "haul" from a gun buyback event. I didn't see anything in the pics that I'd feel brave enough to load up and shoot.

'Preciate you posting this Dave. Attention like this is rare these days. It gives one some hope. Understand the "ouch" on the mags. ONE for my Star PD was $50 a bunch of years ago.

That's a good price on a pair of ready-to-run tanks.

Yes. I was replying to John's statement that...

Stage calls for a reload. Shooter carries the reload in his mouth (hanging out like a cigarette) or in her cleavage. Saw both... a long time ago. Not "all the time" locations for carry, but when the stage calls for a reload... . .

Carry SHB page 3 in your gun cart. Ammunition required for loading/reloading during the course of any stage must be carried on the shooter’s person, in a bandoleer, cartridge/shot shell belt loop, holster cartridge loop, pouch, pocket, or be safely staged as required by stage instructions.

Nope. Doing so will earn you a P and a miss. SHB Page 19.
