  1. As a minister , I’ve said similar. I know full well from experience as a soldier and police officer that if my house was surrounded by a regiment of awake and armed soldiers and I had a machine gun and was awake , it only matter if God is there to protect and if God is there to protect, I don’t need any of that. I also know that God gives peace no matter how many stand against you. King Saul was chasing future king David and God put Saul in a deep sleep and David was in a position to kill him but only took his spear and bolster from beside him knowing God would make him king later. God keeps His promises.
  2. Goodness gracious. Makes you want to just stay still in your chair doesn’t it. Please be careful
  3. The gurney is bulky and unwieldy so I was afraid widening the door won’t help much, wanted to be sure as I likely will have this come up again
  4. Inflation will go higher because shipping companies now have to avoid the Red Sea and go around Africa because cargo ships are being attacked. This adds a month to the trip and increases fuel usage raising fuel cost . The consumer pays that cost. This will force the federal reserve to not lower rates as planned and may force them to raise them.
  5. How wide is the stretcher in an ambulance?
  6. The other night I had to call an ambulance for my mom. Her bedroom door is 30 inches so they couldn’t get the stretcher in so had to walk her to it in the hall. I had a guy come price how much it’d be to widen the bedroom door to 36 inches so they can get through next time but then he asked if they could make the turn into the room. The hall is 39 inches wide all other door ways are also 39 inches. how wide of a hallway is needed to turn an ambulance stretcher? She is home and better but she lost so much blood from a torn esophagus that she needed a transfusion of a pint of blood. The ambulance crew was great and Called it that she needed a transfusion right away and bypasses the local hospital and flew her to a bigger one but the hospital waited 3 days before giving her the blood.
  7. Has the rule outlawing braces on AR pistols changed? I visited a store in a large town the other day and they had several AR pistols with arm braces attached.
  8. My dads least favorite that he complained about for decades was Roosevelt demanding my grandfather drive his cattle into a large pit and kill them and bury them so the price of beef would go up to pull the country out of the depression. Where is PITA when you want them?
  9. They are beautiful revolvers. I often think of getting one but it’s too large for concealed carry so it’d be a range gun and that’s a high price for a range gun. I thought of getting the 22 version king cobra which looks like the python but again it’d be a range gun
  10. We don’t have a Kroger and once in a while plan a special trip just for Kroger. They have items you can’t get in a small town. They also have a much better organic selection for times we want that . They are 45 minutes away. Publix just opened an hour away in the opposite direction so we may go once in a while there.
  11. I was surprised how much the beretta bothered me. Never had that be a problem before
  12. I got to test fire both of those yesterday. I only fired what the magazine tube holds but was glad I got to. this is the first time since my heart bypass surgery that I fired a 12 gauge. I fired the Beretta first. Both are light but the Beretta is shorter and noticeably lighter. Both were reliable and smooth. I used federal high brass 6 shot lead. The Beretta holds 7 rounds and all seven kicked hard . That might be partially because I haven’t been used to 12 gauge lately but it became uncomfortable. My 14 year old son also noticed the kick. He started out preferring the Beretta before he fired it. the Mossberg held 9 rounds and was balanced better. The recoil was negligible, even firing fast. While both had clear and visible fiber optic front sights , the Mossberg comes with a few replacement sights as well as 2 extra chokes. The Mossberg also included a piece of paper that said go to the listed website and Jerry Miculek and his daughter would show you how to maintain it. The Beretta did not have a paper manual, only a QR code to scan and see the manual on your phone which made it small and hard to read . my son declared after firing them both that he preferred the Mossberg. I saw them both at a pawn shop near an army base a couple of hours away from me that I usually don’t get to go to. May have to go back.
  13. Yep, take it while resting etc to see what is is normally and if you exercise etc it won’t go as high if it never normal conditions it is lower plus if you can control it while resting when it does go up when you get the dr bill it’ll go back sooner. im also hearing that blood pressure raised by exercise is good but if raised uncontrollably is bad.
  14. I see massive amounts of people protesting in favor of one country or another that are at war. If these many people truly support the side they are beating people up for, why don’t they get on a plane and fly over there and volunteer to help them fight and really make a difference.
  15. My wife takes the ground deer and makes spaghetti or tacos and the kids love it. She doesn’t add fat , maybe a little olive oil. once she ground a deer roast and made bbq with it.
  16. I think I will let it pass . Beside it they have the mossberg mvp in 300 blackout with sights and rail for optics. Not as good as 308 but lighter than my 1903a4
  17. My favorite is a Gibbs remake of the 1903a4 Springfield sniper with a weaver scope . I love that for deer.
  18. I know why cowboys used to fight over water in westerns. One cow can drink a few gallons at once
  19. They are still young so I feed them calf grower and on cold nights add some deer corn and they have a round bale of peanut hay and coastal hay along with rye grass that is trying to come up but they drink a ton .
  20. I have 3 cows and we hit 27 last night and tonight. I didn’t want the water line that continuously fills their water trough to freeze and burst the line so I turned it off and turned it back on once it got above 40. as I did that I got to wondering how big ranchers in areas it stays below freezing keep their water for the cows.
  21. that debate about .223 is why took a buck the other day with a .223 hornady 75 grain boat tail. it went 20 feet and dropped. a buddy and I never did find the entry wound an after moving it around a lot finally found a small exit that wasnt bleeding at all . i imagine a 350 legend will do better . I take it, the 350 legend is a lot like the 35 remington i inherited from my dad. it does well. last time and i went hunting we sat on a field with a trail between us. I had just got back from Iraq and while hunting fell asleep and awoke to the sound of him firing and a buck falling between us, but a few steps ahead of me.
  22. I’m seeing a lot of single shot and bolt action and AR style rifles in 350 legend along with a S & W revolver. My son even drools over them. what does a .350 legend do that a .308 or 30.06 doesn’t? what kind of recoil would that do in a revolver?
  23. I think so too as their site nor some of the reviews I read didn’t say.
  24. This one I saw locally was marked “7.62 NATO” and no mention of 308 before or after, which surprised me. I liked it because it has visible sights and a rail for a scope if you wanted and it is shorter than most bolt action rifles. I have to be more careful about what I buy as there are boys coming up behind me that likely will shoot them and I may not be around to remind them or they may just forget like one did the other day when he shot my metal dueling tree pistol grade target with an AR rifle. He was out looking for coyotes and thought he’d make sure his rifle was right.
