From the Star Link website: Starlink requires an unobstructed view of the sky. Download the Starlink app to determine your best install location. I know several people who have the "RV" service. To my understanding, the only difference being that the RV service can be throttled during peak times. That said, none of my acquaintances have ever had an issue. One family, to include three kids, have run two laptops and five tablets simultaneously streaming movies with no lag. That said, cloud cover and inclement weather can play a factor.

@Popcorn Kelly We have our annual match coming up next month. Historically, I've just use Excel to cut & paste. It can be done, but it's time consuming and mistakes can and do happen (not getting people on a posse with someone they asked for). The other issue has been re-assigning people to balance the posse. Your macros in Excel are great for me so far. It contains a lot of data that we don't/haven't used, but it's better to have and not need. Thank you!

Depending on the prop - we do both. We have a stage with a gong. The shooter indicates ready by saying a line and banging the gong, the TO then gives stand-by and the beep. If we are throwing a stick of dynamite or stabbing a knife into a prop the shooter will say a line, the TO will give stand-by and after the beep the shooter will throw the dynamite/stab the prop.

I'll take a look at this video tomorrow. I currently use Excel for our small annual, but anything that makes it "easier" is always good.

I've never heard of it. I use MyRadar.

Howdy MM! Heard and read about - Yes. Seen or held a gun or ammo - No. Proprietary cartridges made/developed by Lazzeroni. Expensive guns and expensive ammo. Think Weatherby but on steroids.

@Trailrider #896 they did get the cargo hatch to open but could not get it closed. We watched the live feed and while they were showing the cargo hatch it abruptly fell inward, dangling (what appeared to be) several inches inboard. Couple that with quite a few lost heat tiles and what appeared to be a slow roll as it re-entered the atmosphere, I'm surprised they had telemetry for as long as they did. The camera views were awesome!

We also use Lockton Affinity.

Will have to research that. Thanks.

My "issue" is that it doesn't remember the Divisions you add. We have a "shootist" category (top five shooters will compete as "shootist's" the following month. I have to add "shootist" every month.

I have a pair from Caboots in El Paso. I went to the store several years ago and had my feet/calves measured by Joey. Price and turn-around time were both very good, IMO. Most comfortable boots I've ever worn. Period boots

@J-BAR #18287, I wouldn't spend any more money on knives than is necessary. The amount spent would be determined by the recipient's knowledge and application of knife use and care. Both of the brands you've listed make really good knives and both also offer Chinese knives. I have some of both brands. I also have some custom knives from Carter Cutlery. Some of my favorite go-to knives, though, are Dexter-Russell. All of mine are relatively inexpensive (for what they are) and made in the USA. I'd buy a small variety of common use knives along with a magnetic knife wall mount instead of a factory "set" with counter-top "knife block".

It depends on the age of the ship for the most part. Most embarked troops, whether Marines or Sea Bees, are in berthings with racks stacked three or four high. These are the plain racks (no coffin lockers) and some can be triced-up (folded up against the bulkhead). Some are canvas "cots" on aluminum frames that are raised and lowered (vertically) as needed. They are raised into the overhead during the day to allow for floor space and lowered in the evening for sleeping.

What's the difference between a "cabin" and a "stateroom"? The number of people sleeping in it. The CO may have two cabins- an "in-port" cabin and an "underway" cabin. Senior officer's (department heads) may have a single-man stateroom or share with one other. Junior officers may have from two to four sharing a stateroom. On some of the newer ships, even senior enlisted may have staterooms. Also, the number of people in a crew's berthing (enlisted) may be lower.

Dowco Guardian - animals weren't the problem. It traps heat and moisture under/inside just as well as it keeps water out (or even better).

I just dropped off my seats to get recovered. Lesson learned - DO NOT store a motorcycle under a water-proof cover for extended periods of time in hot and humid environments. Totally destroyed my seats. (I don't have a garage or carport.)

Yes, you could have.

Final results by category is from 2023. Not sure who needs to know to fix it.

Stage instructions state: With pistols, first engage the falling plates and then engage the dump target with remaining rounds. Only standing bottles or misses on stationary target count as misses. The shooter only managed to knock down four of the five falling plates, leaving one plate standing. The shooter had two rounds fail to fire, even after multiple attempts. How many misses do you call?

An old food dehydrator for drying, takes about two hours at max temp. This is what I use to clean.

That'd be a neat trick for the TO to stomp it while it was on his head.

Had this visitor at work earlier this week. I prefer this version. Picture taken with Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at about 20 feet.

Yes - but then the mass propagandists couldn't sensationalize the headline.

Been a long time since I looked at 17HMR rifles. Long time. Last I remember, Savage had problems with the A17s they had released.

RRA will be releasing a semi-auto .17 HMR. Gas-operated, roller blowback. Not inexpensive, but I don't believe any other manufacturer has been able to produce a reliable, semi-auto .17 HMR. The video also says they will be introducing a 22 WMR later this year, as it's only a barrel swap. LAR-15M .17 HMR (rockriverarms.com)
