The one I really remember was the one that went through North Raleigh in Nov or Dec ‘88. My first experience with a Tornado. The skies at dusk were like nothing I ever saw. Dark purple/black. Air was so thick you almost had to swim through it.

88 and 89 had two big tornados and Hugo. Hugo was my first hurricane and we had a hurricane party in Fayetteville. It was a bit south and west of us… but it hit hard enough that i decided hurricanes were to be taken seriously and hurricane parties were a bad idea!!!

My first two years in NC were bad weather time! IIRC there was also a blizzard in early ‘89 in Raleigh. Bunch of us had tickets to see comedian Stephen Wright and drove up anyway to see him.

After Hugo I went to South Carolina with a group to offer aid. It was truly a devastating storm there.

Well, I’m not sure you can permanently save your data if you don’t use the app to pull it off the unit via Bluetooth. After 50(?) or so sessions the unit will warn you it’s overwriting the oldest session with new data. Maybe that doesn’t bug you.

I could be wrong…maybe you can somehow export from the unit directly to a laptop. My unit is not with me at the moment for me to check.

I don’t use those features, but thank you for your concern.

The scope tube then becomes what keeps the rings “true”. It’s imperfect but better than nothing if the rings need it. I always saw lapping as more to align two sets of rings not ensure ring cap/base were “trued.” But a used pair of Seekins can be found for $75, so I just don’t lap anything.

The combat record somebody dug up does not list a Purple Heart. Is it possible to get your head filled with shrapnel and not get a Purple Heart? Is something like that likely to be omitted accidentally from your record?

Hadn't thought of this....
Considering his record....his TBI may be from a Drunk wreck.

Read somewhere about the pools on a Typhoon sub. Certain irony in that to me. Now a cigar and bourbon bar on a sub would truly be impressive.

My confidence level? I intend to hit that berm.

100% I am going to nail the berm.

While I can see my misses at 1K 99% of the time there have been days where the soil is wet
and there is haze and it is almost impossible to see any dirt fly. Making corrections then becomes
a bitch.

Usually grassy flatland if I get to shoot anywhere local. Gets discouraging real quick.

What fight was this?
I gotta watch this!

I took this Pic a few days after Kim Campbell flew her A-10 back to Al Jaber.
That's my buddy on the ground, they were in the process of repairing it until the depot team showed up and told them to box it up and send it home.
You used to be able to see it through the fence in the boneyard, fuselage on the ground and the wings laying next to it.

I may have posted in the wrong forum the first time…

Looking to do some hog hunting in for a day May/June at the Clinton House Plantation in SC. I am trying to decide which rifle to take or should I take both. I am planning to take an AR (mk12 clone 1:8 twist) to hunt with. Property allows 223/556. I'm reading hit or miss on the 556. Should I leave the AR and take a 3006, take both ect? I am assuming shots would be within 300 yards but need to call the outfitters to confirm.

If I go 556:
65 grain Sierra Game Kings
or
70 grain Hornady CX
or
Barnes TSX triple Shock 70 grains

Take the 3006
150 grain Hornady SST
or
165 Grain SBT Game Kings
or
180 grain Sierra Game King Game Changers

I'd go with a low recoil '06 load.
Faster recovery if a follow up shot is needed, more than adequate power.

Reloading your own I think is always better. Used to reload for my precision 308 bolt rifle but ARs bring new challenges. I’m (unfortunately or fortunately) at a point in my life where I value most my free time. Right now I can provide more for my family working than I can in my reloading room loading ammo. The Barnes factory ammo is “good enough” for what I’m trying to do on those weekends I can get away from work to do what I love.

I had an XR400 also, swapped the forks from a CR of the same year. Mine was a 99. Couple years later I sold it and bought the KTM 504. That was a major mistake. That bike ate exhaust valves.

So it looks like he IS a stolen valor guy. Originally, the lawyer said he was a Ranger. Now he's saying he's a combat veteran. Any good lawyer would keep saying "Ranger" if it were true, because it sounds better.

Now he's saying he has a traumatic brain injury. How does that happen when you work in HR? Did he fall over drunk and hit his head, or was he actually in combat?

I covered this earlier.
You get the initial statement out tbere early. This creates two camps among the villagers. The veterans circle their wagons.
Now even if the initial statement was complete bullshit, you created 2 stories for the villagers to argue. Meanwhile you walk out the side door, and everyone forgets this happened as soon as the next story goes viral.
They will get or manufacture the next viral sensation, and everyone will forget all about this one.
