  1. Thanks. That guy with the sledgehammer is a brute and a veritable machine. Darned good anvil, too
  2. The pitch clock, I think, is a good idea. Players seem to have adapted to it quite well. And it's as much a "batters clock" as a pitch clock. We don't see the batters stepping back, adjusting each finger of their gloves, tucking their shirts in, carving new bats, and changing their shoes after every pitch. Padres got spanked again today, 11-7 to the Brewers. But at least they put up some runs.
  3. It should look like this.... The guys name is at the bottom, maybe some else can find it on YouTube
  4. Try https://www.facebook.com/reel/1420804088535203?s=yWDuG2&fs=e&mibextid=Nif5oz
  5. Yeah, it's a Facebook link. I did a quick search on the Tube of You and didn't find it. https://www.facebook.com/groups/313462688715995/permalink/7466162450112614/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT https://www.facebook.com/reel/1420804088535203?s=yWDuG2&fs=e&mibextid=Nif5oz
  6. That Padres game Thursday - gave up 4 two run homers in the first inning...ended up 14 to 1 LA. Yesterday was a little better, lot 4-1.
  7. I cheated and used Google Lens to search. Then kept scrolling through vices, pipe benders, and such until I thought I saw it. Took about 20 minutes.
  8. They don't care. Oh, they pay lip service to it, and are all for it as long as they can delude themselves that it's not coming out of their own pockets. But as long as they think that the bread and circuses will continue nothing will change with them
  9. I think it depends on their vendor.
  10. From FB One of my favorite images. A good image of the dresses and hats! SCHUETZENVEREIN | The sport was not always limited to men, there were also special shots for the ladies. One such occurred in June of 1888 when Fannie Bube, Julia & Emma Protz, Clara Tester, Dora Valaer, Louisa Biron, Julia Laue, Louisa Menrich and a Mill Dillman shot at targets especially set up for them. Image: Women's Shooting Society by Gerhard Gesell — in ALMA Wisconsin: Historic River Town. A Schuetzen is a type of rifle used in European long-range competition. Its German root is from the word Schütze which can be translated as “shooter.” The earliest usage was to denote units of marksmen or sharpshooters back in the days of muzzleloading firearms. Some sources claim that it was once used to describe archers or more specifically crossbowmen. These rifles are typically heavy and can weigh upwards of 15 pounds. All shooting with these rifles is done standing using a palm rest and butt stock prongs to help the shooter balance the rifle so the weight aids in stability.
  11. Found on FB When the Barkerville Gold Rush had come to an end, The Harper brothers were now left with many hundred head of unsold cattle. They could have just left them to roam the hills and become half wild along the Fraser River, but they decided to find a market for them. Over a thousand head left the Gang Ranch, passed through Clinton and the Cariboo. The herd gained in numbers as they moved through the bunch grass valleys near Kamloops, all of these cattle were destined for the town called Salt Lake city, Utah, and the railroad many hundreds of miles away. They crossed the Thompson River at Savona and there regrouped for the long journey south and across the United States. They had several mountain ranges and rivers to cross and this had to be done in the summer months. The cowboys for the job were well schooled in driving cattle through all conditions and surviving on very little. Many cattle had to be driven acro rivers where there was quiet water. e just to wild to be put on the reaction Ferry and that meant they had to be swum. After several days and many miles, they would settle down and were a little more civil to handle.The herd was wintered in Walla Walla and they wintered them there and let them gain weight. They made it to Idaho and further to rail the cattle to Chicago. It was at that time that Thaddeus Harper was convinced that he could make more money with the herd if it was sold in California. There was a drought in California and prices of livestock were much higher than any other place. The entire herd was turned around and once again they moved slowly towards San Francisco. They crossed Nevada and California. There were Indians, Deserts, Dry Mountains, all this was new country to Thaddeus Harper. His crew of eight cowboys left the Gang Ranch, and some eighteen months later, they drove the herd into San Francisco, California. They sold the big fat steers at seventy dollars per steer. Several of the larger steers were sold as oxen for pulling wagons. They brought a higher price. This particular cattle drive is noted as the most historic in Canada’s ranching history. This took the cowboys a couple of years before they returned to Canada. Thaddeus Harper continued to move thousands of cattle back and forth across the borders. As demand increased, they supplied. Pioneer family’s were now pouring into the interior.They moved cattle down to New Westminister, Nenaimo and Victoria. The Harpers put together other cattle drives over the mountain ranges to the Kootenays during the gold rush there. They found markets at the mining towns of Fairview, Phoenix, and Rossland. Cattle were pushed over the Dewdney Trail to Hope. This took over ten days to get through the mountain passes.
  12. Some other videos show the shock waves kicking up dust and the baseplate being driven into the ground.

  14. Thousands of arrows plunging onto them as they tried to cross a soggy field, and piling up against the sharpened stakes of the English defenses. Some arrows are bound to find the weak spots. Or kill me horses. It shouldn't be a surprise, after all, the Kevlar has to be cut and sewn in order to make the vests. Tests with recurves are similar. Broadheads are designed to cut their way in. Also, they don't expand. That needle point and the sharp edges just keep penetrating and cutting.
  15. Last ditch measure. https://worldwarwings.com/wwii-soldiers-throwing-mortars-hand-hollywood-make/
  16. Our neighbors had 4 boys, about 2 years between each of them. James, John, Joel, Jeffrey. Hearing the mom calling them in for dinner was interesting, "Jimmy, Johnny, Joely, Jeffrey! Dinner!"
