I think saw this a few years ago. Pretty interesting how they make them.
When I was in the Navy the first time we pulled into St. Thomas VI I was fascinated with those steel drums. They definitely have a unique sound.
Thanks Dave

I’m in. I hope you are reading this at home soon, Forty Rod.

If I were at church and someone came into the church bent on hurting or killing anyone I would have no problem shooting them to stop the threat.

Freedom of the press does not mean freedom to be fraudulent.
The only decent thing in USA Today used to be their crossword puzzle.

With your stated velocities what I observed was that often if someone referred to your loads being too hot they would complain about the revolver load but not the rifle. Even though the rifle is 250fps more but it's not perceived to be as hot compared to the shorter barreled revolver. The couple of yards farther for the rifle targets isn't enough to matter.
Yes, the revolver was the concern.

Gotta be honest, that's the last place I'd expect to be robbed. It's really getting ridiculous.
In Oregon that occurred twice in 2014 or 2015, I am pretty sure. The gun owners were killed. In CA it happened a variety of times from 1990 on.
Also, I just remembered a robbery at an indoor range parking lot. I think that was in 2019. A guy got robbed as he was putting his guns in his trunk. I don't recall if he was harmed.-

I hear state prison dentures aren’t all that great.
In Oregon and California people at outdoor remote shooting area were getting robbed of their guns.
When I moved to WV I tend to carry a gun with me out to change targets. A range buddy asked why I do that. I told him about OR and CA. He said he never considered that happening. He now carries a gun to change targets if he’s at the range alone.-

My doctor told me “In general, if you miss a dose do not take two later. If you take a BP med in the morning and one at night and if you remember the morning dose in the afternoon you should be okay to take it then but don’t take the morning dose at night with your night dose.” - Paraphrased a bit.
I have a morning and evening 7 day pill box that I fill every Sunday night so I can set my meds up for the week and I don’t have to fool with pill bottles and trying to remember when I took what when.
The box I have now is a Walgreens box, but I prefer the CVS boxes. They are a little tougher than the Walgreens boxes. -

Well with all due respect just because you had a couple bad experiences doesn’t mean all the shoots are like that. I’ve never experienced that in any of the shoots I’ve gone to and I’ve been to quite a few different state shoots. The loads you described are just fine! Don’t judge the whole sport on a couple of occasions.
Way more than two, but I will stop griping now.

Well, they were not mouse fart loads but they were blanks! Cameras can do a lot of things and they weren’t really shooting at them guys! At least we shoot at targets and hit them for real!🙄
I remember when I moved to Oregon and was shooting at a match with my .45s and the RO questioned my pistol and rifle load velocities because in his words “They’re too powerful and will probably damage our targets!” And I swear to gawd 5 or 6 people behind him that were scowling at me all said “Yeah” at the same time.
My SASS loads were .45 Colt with 205gr Lead RNFP over 7.7gr of Universal powder. Velocity from my 7.5” Vaquero was 900 fps and around 1150 fps from my rifle.
They were so used to wimp loads the sound and impact my loads made must have skeered dem…poor wittle cowboys.I encountered the same questions in SoCal. Just one more reason I quit shooting SASS.

Try asking your doctor if he or she would give you scripts for medicine you don’t currently need and see what happens. If they’re network doctors like an HMO or like in my case, University system doctors they will not because administrators are electronically looking over their shoulders.
I am not sure about antibiotics but many pain meds can make you sick once they go too far past the expiration date. Years ago I had some leftover Tylenol#3 that was past date by a year. I hurt my back so I took one of them. Within a half hour I was puking my guts out.
I have been told that Antibiotics just lose potency. After my experience with the Tylenol #3 I will not even take over the counter meds that are out of date.

Doesn’t look like SASS at all. Those people were waaaaaay too far away…and there were no Gamers on the video whining about it and the loads weren’t mouse-fart loads.

On some of the Backyard Birds FB groups there are always people whining about raptors scaring off or eating "their" birds.
I try to point out that those aren't "their" birds, that they have created an artificial little habitat that wild birds have taken advantage of, and that the predators are just another wild bird that is taking advantage of the artificial habitat they have created. They should count their blessings if they are fortunate enough to witness a hawk taking its prey.
Exactly right.
I can tell when the hawks are about. The little birds eat very early in the morning and they eat from the feeders nearest the bushes so they can hide and make their getaway. Also, the blue jays sound their alarms if a hawk is nearby.
The hawk got a pigeon yesterday. This means the little birds are safe for a couple of days.
We have been visited by what I think was a White Tailed Kite as well. I have seen it twice in 2 years but I haven’t gotten a photo of it. It’s a beautiful bird as well.

From what I have read they are very rare here. They are mostly found in the South and Texas.

This is our local Coopers Hawk. I have some other shots of a Coopers Hawk from a couple of years ago somewhere
Joe, I think your Hawk looks like a Red Shouldered Hawk.
I think this one is a female.

even I can cook good enough to not need any ......
If one’s cooking is bad, sauce ain’t gonna fix it.
It is a darn shame to waste good sauce on bad cooking.

I cannot believe I forgot this sauce. I love this sauce on smoked chicken wings. It pretty much goes with any meat. It is not a hot spicy sauce. It’s more of a garlic sauce with the spice of hot peppers. Interestingly enough it doesn’t go well with Mexican food. At least it doesn’t for me. That is where the Tapatio shines.

That’s hilarious. Thanks.

I think a day like this in the USA would be fantastic…and appropriate.

Unless this is a parody site that meme Bear posted is true, it seems.

I think if I encountered her I would tell her to get over herself. “It’s not all about you…flat white!”
Seriously, she is just looking for a payday.
