Michigan Slim

In Indiana I have cut my lawn from March to December. Just depends on the year.

My daughter, Kaya, asked me once if she could keep a couple pieces of new Starline brass. Said she would look at it when she was sad and it would cheer her up. Lol

Last time I got in a fight, I messed that guys knuckles up pretty bad. He may have even broke one.

I prefer to just tip over the dang bottle. Seems to have been a habit of mine over the years.

When my daughter was becoming a young lady, I told her to put a dab of #9 behind each ear. If the little puke taking her out didn't recognize or like it, dump him quick. She stared at me like I was an alien.

I have one mounted in the yard up north. Covers the drive, yard and cabin. Cell signal can get sketchy but I'm really pleased overall.

I started an eradication program with them at the cabin. Shoot on sight, live trap at night. Our turkey and partridge population was almost non-existent so I thought I might help some. Every time I go up, I set my trap behind the cabin. I cover the front with a flashlight and shotgun. We have taken dozens of coons and opossums in the last three or four years. Seems to have worked VID_20251118_080154782.mp4

They can use it for the high speed rail. Wait, no they can't. Lolol

Had a bear get in my cooler at the cabin one time. I had been up mowing the place and got kinda thirsty. I had taken up two beers for the occasion. Nuthin cuts a dusty thirst like a glass of ice cold beer. Went to the cooler -no beer! Lunch meat, steak, tater salad all there. No beer. Found the cans in the trees at the edge of the yard and bit up. Nice paw print on the cooler lid. Who knew?

When my dad went on a serious diet, we all did! He lost 140 pounds, I gained 15. One of the major changes was using honey instead of processed sugars. It changes you taste for sweets. Leaving out added salts did as well. Amazing how much of both we eat.

Been many years since I've seen the big swarms of blackbirds here. Used to stretch from horizon to horizon. Popped a round from my .410 into one once and hit five.

Last time I dreamt like that we had a propane leak at the cabin.

Well done Sir I know well how tough it can be to make the lifestyle changes required. No, not me, but my wife. She decided to make those changes and has dropped 40 pounds. I made some changes and have gained thirty! I'm a comfortable 170 now. May we meet in the middle!

I am not. My wife, however, is sending a bunch.

Any damage from the first shot would make a difference. Damaged nose, bent bullet, slight expansion. Like said above though, keep the ranges short.

It certainly did with a handgun. Faster and quicker to the next target. Not with a rifle. I'm usually sighting in for hunting so slow is the name of the game. Hard to rush a two or three hundred yard shot.

Good deal. I like to see that.

Winchester. Ready to run right out of the gate.

On a non-pig brain note . My uncle sent me a picture of his 66 Vette he bought new after high school. I had to make a meme. I had to. Actually, someone did it for me but, hey, here it is.

We see them in Western Michigan sometimes. They are pretty reclusive. I've never put in for points but I should.

Happy thanksgiving all. Kaya says as soon as we are done chewing Thursday we are headed north to the cabin. She is a homeowner now and discovered that steaks are expensive! She wants another deer for the freezer. Who am I to say no?

This. Overshot cards work a treat.

Exactly.

I was so tempted Sunday. VID_20251118_075919296.mp4

Nor Indiana. Must be solid.
