So, is it the long fight upstream that causes the salmon to die after mating, or is it the breathing freshwater after growing up in the ocean?
Per the USGS (we can trust the gov, right?):
Most of them stop eating when they return to freshwater and have no energy left for a return trip to the ocean after spawning. After they die, other animals eat them (but people don't) or they decompose, adding nutrients to the stream.

Got me to thinkin……would salt water fish live in a swimming pool?
Not for long.
There are only a handful of fish that can transition from fresh-to-saltwater and vice versa. Most can only do so for short periods of time and that is dependent on the salinity.
One exception I'm aware of is the Bull shark. It is commonly found as far inland as Lake Okeechobee and has no problems living in fresh water.

If I can't stay on the range and the range doesn't have a recommended or partnered campground, I will try to find the closest state or national park.
If no state or national park, I'll start looking for local campgrounds.
I haven't found a lot of military campgrounds near the shoots I've attended.

Not to mention, piranha are not nearly as aggressive as certain horror movies have made them out to be.
But, as said, they'd probably die in short order in a shocked swimming pool. The chlorine kind or the electrical kind of shocked. 😎

I have a french press and a cheap drip brand as backups, but this is what I use all the time.
Same here, but I also have a percolator.
Love my Bunn having coffee ready in 3-4 minutes.

My first ship was the first LST of the new class, LST 1179, USS NEWPORT. Commissioned 01NOV1966. Decommissioned 01OCT1992.
I can only imagine how the WW2 LSTs fared in heavy weather.

I'll take three. Please PM info.

Got my seats back from the upholstery shop.

@Chief Rick was it a vented cover that was pulled tight so it formed an airgap between the cover and seat? We have a problem with animals making a nest out of the seat foam.
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.)

I'm interested in getting 4 of them. The sire only allows me to order 2. Please PM me details on how to do it all at once.
Thanks pard. KJ
The site page is set up to order two different designs of blocks.
If you want 4 blocks all set up for the same cartridge, with the same leather cover design, just put that information in the area for block 1. The first field under "block 1" is quantity.
Now, if you want all four blocks to be slightly different, you'll need to send him an e-mail.
Great person to work with.

Pets must earn their name.
We called our newest acquisition Buddy because we didn't know what else to say when trying to call him.
After having him for a month, we almost changed his name to Chet. If you've ever watched Tim Allan's Santa Clause 2 - he acts about like that goofy reindeer.

Took him for his annual check-up and found out my Buddy has heartworms. Started the treatment. The wife says it hasn't really slowed him down. Can't wait to get home..

This Buddy, currently just over 2 yo. We rescued him from the pound when he was a year old - long story.
We can't keep a Kong toy for more than a week before he's destroyed it. He tears them apart and then chews on the little pieces like bubble gum.
String ropes? Gone in a day or two.
We've considered changing his name to Chet. Anyone who's seen the Santa Clause 2 with Tim Allen will understand how he sometimes acts.
Can't let him out of the house off leash. He loves to run and he's FAST! Once the nose hits the ground he doesn't listen.

My wife and I met Evil Roy and Wicked Felina today! Very gracious folks.
Then we met Charlie Daniels at an autograph session at the Daniel Defense booth (SHOT Show). After the wife and I had our picture taken, Mr. Daniels asked for a picture with just me as he said I reminded him of his late guitar player Tommy Crain.
Over many years in the Navy and a few SHOT Shows I've been fortunate to have met several celebrities Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally, Jamie Farr, Trace Adkins, R. Lee Ermey (The Gunny), Craig Morgan, Big & Rich, Lou Ferrigno, Mark Wills, Darryl Worley, Luke Branquinho, and several others. The ones that stick out the most are the band Lonestar. After learning that I bought a pair of tickets to see them for my daughter's 8th birthday they invited us on their bus after the concert.

There are plans to bring a .357 Magnum to market. I did not get a time frame.
Other than that - all SAA's are coming through the custom shop. 18-24 months estimated.

Any info on this round?
Saw an add for it in Rifle magazine but there's nothing at the link provided. Supposedly for AR-platform rifles.

Marlin,
I have my stereo system connected to my TV (surround sound) which allows me to play around with the levels of different frequencies. Truth be told - I still have a difficult time "understanding" spoken words in a lot of movies and TV shows. It's just been easier for me, and more pleasant for my wife & kids, to use sub-titles.

I like it. Usually watch it at least once a year.

Scarlett, as said.
Badman Bullets also carries both plain and coated, but both are currently showing out of stock
