Hmm, cold, well, when I left for Boot Camp in 1988, it was 110 degrees in Tucson, and I felt fine. I ended up in Great Mistakes, IL, where it was 85 degrees and 85% humidity - I thought I was going to freaking die. THEN...then winter came whilst I was training. I was pout to shoveling snow of parking lots at 2100, and I wore everything I owned. If I could have worn my seabag I would have done that too! I realized what they were preparing me a year later for when we passed by Adak in the Aleutian Islands in February. Gah.

waitin' for a handout ?

well it sure AIN'T down under 🤣

Explains why you have to take out a second mortgage to afford to attend sporting events.

Dated a girl in Spain that owned one of those. Getting used to a shifting gears with a gear shift that moved in and out of the dash and twisted side to side was not easy. The air suspension made for a smooth ride on the straightaways but was rather interesting in the corners at speed. Definitely created a serious pucker factor a couple of times.

Arguably the best Citroen ever, the Deux Chevaux~! 😄

Most of the legal first generation immigrants I have known hate illegal immigration more that most non-immigrants. I read a couple news articles and IMNSHO they were hit pieces to coerce other businesses into cowering down to the radical left. I suspect that 90% of those speaking out are non-hispanic liberals that think that they must defend other minorities because those minorities are incapable of defending themselves I really doubt that most of their clientele are Hispanic. Walk into any Mexican restaurant and you will see a good cross section of America, with all ethnicities represented. The lion's share of negative reviews are being posted by people that don't even live near one of their restaurants. So sad.

That's the fundamental difference between Liberals and everyone else. A Republican/Conserative respects the person even if they don't agree with their point of view. Same is true for most Democrats. They practice the old adage of live and let live. They may vote with their feet but they do not demand that others do the same. When they are vocal, their protests and demonstrations do not go out of their way to disrupt the lives of others. Nor do they resort to violence. Liberals however cannot stand it if someone doesn't believe the same way they do. Liberals demand conformity while at the same time claiming that they love diversity. Liberals start out by demanding boycotts, cancellation, vandalism and threats of violence. Then Liberals resort to actual violence against others including the destruction of public and private property. Liberals go out of their way to inconvenience others as much as possible. All the while screaming as loudly as possible that they are inclusive and non-violent.

Pure rubbish as far as I am concerned. There is zero proof one way or the other that the Cyber Truck was inspired by Citroen's design. By his own admission the design was inspired by vehicles in sify movies he watched as a kid. I'm more inclined to believe that Citroen's car was inspired by those same 70's sify movies. Anyone that has ever worked with stainless steel sheet metal is well aware of how hard it is to form by stamping it into dies with complex curves. That is why the Delorean DMC-12 was mostly flat surfaces and not a lot of curves.

Went to the VA today to get one of my hearing aids repaired. The grounds around the clinic and hospital have several mature oaks. Almost every one was missing a major limb or two due to some straight line winds we had in NE TX a few weeks ago.

As a kid poleing and paddling john boats up and down Missouri's creeks and rivers, you learn real quick that Water Moccasins like to drop out of tree branches that overhang the water.

The world could use a bunch more like Dale and Roy. They lead by example by investing their own time and money rather than demanding that others do so.

Uberti carbines are 19". Minor detail Good price

Duelist or Double Duelist is only allowed to have ONE LOADED revolver in hand (not holstered or touching the prop where staged at a time. Gunfighter can have TWO LOADED revolvers in hand but there is no requirement to do so. Blackwater's explanation covers the rules for Gunfighter very well Double Duelist is not a separate category. It is just a different way to shoot Duelist. Double Duelist simply means that the shooter shoots each revolver with a different hand. Otherwise the rules for Duelist and Double Duelist are the same. Neither Duelist nor Double Duelist can have two LOADED revolvers in hand at the same time. So a Duelist or Double Duelist can pull one pistol and shoot all 5 rounds. They can then pull the second pistol and begin to fire it without having to holster/restage the first pistol. However if there is a live round in pistol one and you draw and cock pistol two before you holster pistol one you earn a SDQ. The only category that allows two LOADED pistols in hand at the same time is Gunfighter.

Given that a court stenographer is typing in what is essentially shorthand I doubt it.

I thought this was in California.....We are only about 10 years behind and a little over priced....With no end in sight.....But we need it....It goes nowhere.... Texas Lizard

we have had a number of unremarkable presidents over the years , this may well be why this one is remembered but we shall never know - he never got the chance to make a mark in history , unlike our last one that had every opportunity but fell short and left a new record as being the worst - he displaced jimmy carter because in late life carter redeemed himself with selfless good actions , the current is setting a high bar for future presidents , and he survived the assassination attempts so far , ive always wondered at those that would attempt to assonate a president - many were delusional or crazy , a couplie zealots that were off track , i still think kennedy was political

Depending on the circumstances yes the state can remove parental rights. My aunt and uncle were very active foster parents so I have 4 cousins that are not blood relation. Three of the four were eventually adopted by my Aunt and Uncle. The fourth they were never able to adopt (not for a lack of trying). She entered the family as a toddler and lived with my aunt and uncle up until she graduated high school. To this day she still refers to my Aunt and Uncle as mom and dad.

One of the best Hammered Double shooters out there. Watch close or you'll miss it.

I have a Savage 110 in 7 Rem Mag. The stock is a very nice piece of wood. However, I want to get a syntenic stock with an adjustable recoil pad / adjustable length-of-pull. Any recommendations?

You can always switch to an 87.

Bet those Blacklisted engineering firms still got paid. ☹️

Bob sent you a PM Rusty

I survived the ablation procedure Monday, spent the night at my sister's house, and drove home yesterday. Hard to tell yet, but I think I feel a little better - the cardiologist says the "blanking period" can take up to 2-3 months before everything is healed and my heart "resets". My hearth rhythm has been a little flatter yesterday and today, with high & low spikes not as severe as they have been (52-112 BPM today). Blood pressure has been on the low side (105-110/65ish) but slowly coming back up, and O2 saturation has been a little low (88-90ish). The cardiologist says it's common to have to top ablation off with another electric cardioversion to finish the process, and that it's much more effective after ablation than as a stand alone treatment. I have a follow up evaluation with her in a month and we'll see what she says.
