Check your shoulder bump. You might have too much bump which is a common problem with piercing the primer.

He showed himself in a very nice way again, didn’t he?

I imagine that the team hates him already.

It would have been great if the reply over the radio was " Do as told". They are usually tame over the radio because everyone is listening. I probably wouldn't have cared about who was listening and said quite a bit more. Especially at the end when he asked "should let him pass also."

I had a similar idea in my post but deleted it, fearing it might not be relevant. You have made it so. It’s not about racing, which of course is not always a successful long term outcome.

We/ve been there to tour the museum and track. We also attended many of the GP’s at Indianapolis. At Indy it was a four day event. But not a party event, it was the track, the qualifying, the many displays, the interviews, and the races. Very spectator friendly and encountering. It’s there that I saw the car I really first fell in love with, the #21 Ferrari 250LM that I watched win the 1965 24 hours of LeMan’s. In Indy’s museum no less.

Indianapolis was an experience topped off with a race, celebrated from the top to the bottom of the field. All the way to Zsolt Baumgartner winning a point in the Minardi. One would have thought they won the world championship the way they celebrated.

I went to the first year f1 came back 200 I think, and took my order brother and father

Same thing, great time and 3-4 days of racing.

They had Ferrari challenge series, then porsche GT3, then porsche cup or what ever they called the professional and non professional series back then. Then the qual and race. V10s were incredible.

Funny story, one night we were on our own for dinner and as can be imagined everyplace was packed. Being from NY we didn’t think of making reservations but Indy isn’t a huge city etc. so we were kind of screwed, my father wasn’t going to eat McDonald’s lol.

So we settled on a Cheesecake Factory that was just opening up, I think it was the first or second night it was actually open. We get out and get on line which looks to be a little long but we figured it’ll move. After a few minutes we realized it went around the building..shit.

As we we about to leave a younger guy cones out (I was mid 20’s and he looked a few years older than me) who is the manager and is doing damage control for the line. He ask where are you from etc…I say NY. I also say my college friend is a manager at a cheesecake in NY…yes his name is Vinny lol.

He goes..holy shit I trained with him. The manger took us in the side door and sat us down immediately.

My brother still laughs about it 25 years later.

Not sure if you’re speaking from experience, but I dated a woman with fake tits, and they were well done. She looked great in clothes, but the implants just didn’t do it for me otherwise. They feel fake.

She’s a great girl and we dated seriously for years. I’ve seen her recently and she’s still very attractive. She was definitely the marrying type. And her tits still look great.

But after experiencing so many real ones over the years, I like my wife’s naturals so much better, even though they don’t “look perfect” like my ex.

Tits that are sucked into a woman’s body and mounted closer to her chin than her stomach look and feel weird.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate tits and women of most shapes and sizes (not fuglies, obviously). There’s lots to go around for both of us!

Agreed naturals are better ..like most things. Evolution has us hard wired a certain way to begin with.

Wife is natural and that pic is pumped up to the max

But for the amount of time us husbands actually get to play with them ..it’s a coin flip between limited play time and them looking great 24-7.

Everything but the Barrel, Scope and Recoil Lug have sold. Will be re-listing left overs tonight.

There's a five year statute of limitations for federal crime in DC.
I figured that most of you could remember that. Especially after the Durham debacle.

The Black Sea has become a testing ground for these strategies, with Ukrainian drones and missiles sinking or damaging approximately 26 Russian warships, including the flagship Moskva, according to the National Interest. Turkey’s closure of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits to military vessels has prevented Russia from reinforcing its Black Sea Fleet, making it increasingly vulnerable to Ukrainian attacks.

Too funny. Let the dancing in the streets begin. Meanwhile a few hundred ukes are killed in their retreat back to Kiev from the eastern provinces.

Yet again, revolvers reign supreme when it comes to reliability and safety.

Update 5-5-2025

It rained me out half way through work today so I decided to jump ahead and do an indoor range run with the new Athlon Chrono today instead of waiting. Of course, I set it up side by side with the Garmin for the comparison. Boy was I in for some big surprises.


Side by Side at the range with the Athlon Rangecraft Pro Radar Chronograph and the Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph

First off, the Garmin with software version 3.27 was not near as cooperative as it was the last time I was on a crowded indoor range with it back when I first got the chrono. The Garmin was missing shots left and right while also picking up other folks shots occasionally from as far as two lanes over. The Garmin even missed some 9mm shots. This is something it has never done before. Perhaps it was getting some signal interference from the Athlon when it comes to missing some shots. I don’t really know how close the operate to each other. I doubt that would explain the problems misidentifying others shots though. That is not a problem the Garmin had with it’s original firmware. Hopefully updating to the current 3.32 firmware fixes things but really I would just like to have the original Garmin firmware back. Things worked well on day one. Clearly I need to spend some time with that new firmware testing function both with and without the Athlon present. Today was a mess for the Garmin for sure.

On the other hand, the Athlon did not miss a single one of my shots despite sitting just a bit further from the barrel than the Garmin was. The Athlon did pick up two shots from the adjacent lane at the very beginning which lead to it being moved a bit to the left side of the table as the lane to the right was empty. After that point it caught no neighboring lane shots for the rest of the day. A far better performance than the Garmin both in terms of what it picked up and what it didn’t. I should also note that the Athlon displays fresh shots quicker than the Garmin. This could just be that the time to display is quicker but it also may mean that the unit can pick up shots in quicker succession. The difference was clearly noticeable though.


Summary of the data taken by the Athlon and Garmin chronographs for the same shot strings

Lastly, I had heard some folks speculating on the accuracy (more properly precision) of the Garmin vs the Athlon. As such, I compared some strings side by side on both chronos. With the Garmin dropping quite a few shots or sometimes including other folks, I only managed 3 strings where I think all the shots were the same for both chronos. In all three the Athlon showed slightly better SD and ES numbers. This bodes well for it’s precision vs. the Garmin as it should be expected that better precision on the part of the chrono would translate into lower SD and ES numbers as errors in chrono readings would stack with true velocity variance to result in bigger numbers. Of course, this is a very small amount of data in only one velocity range but it does bode well for the Athlon so far. It certainly doesn’t look like it will end up being a bunch less accurate than the Garmin.

I really thought I had dodged a bullet not having installed the 3.30 update. The last one I did was 3.27 and I did that one only at the end of my review cycle when I was making sure I had investigated the various software features thoroughly as I didn't use the app for my own use. Turns out I was wrong. I had not used the Garmin at a crowded indoor range since early in the review process with the original firmware. At that time it worked great. It didn't pick up a single shot from my neighbors and picked most of mine despite the position on the table being a bit further from the bore than recommended. This time... Yikes. I couldn't stop picking up neighboring shots. It even occasionally picked up one from two lanes over. You would think it would be keen to pick up all mine as well wouldn't you. Not so! The Garmin was dropping shots right and left. It wasn't even just the .22lr shots either, it was even dropping 9mm shots which are super easy for chronos to pick up. Meanwhile, the new Athlon didn't miss a shot all day and only picked up one neighboring lane shot...

Hopefully fully updating the Garmin will restore it somewhat to sanity but I really just want the original firmware back. It worked great with that firmware. If it doesn't ima have to update the review. The function today was significantly diminished from the original firmware. Fingers crossed for 3.32.
