The fat shot

I am going to live and travel in a class A RV for the next couple of month. Does anyone have an exercise regimen that does not require equipment and/or gym membership? I am 65 and do not need to lose weight but build and maintain upper body muscle mass.
Go to Walmart and grab some dumbbells and do some curls in the aisle to see what you’ll need for weight. Do some presses with them. Easy enough.

I’m buying some this next week to help me along. I had a bad accident in 2019 and a stroke in 2021 and am finally to the point I can do some workouts. I lost a ton af muscle. I turned wrenches on heavy equipment and industrial maintenance for 12 years and before that I was a toolmaker and kept myself in shape with physical farm work and redneck workouts. Pictures of me before the accident compared to now are pretty sickening for me. The only thing that saved me was I was healthy and in shape.

Just eat good and stay physical. You don’t have to kill yourself to stay in shape but if you don’t stay in shape it will kill you.

ETA: Every pound you carry is 4 pounds on your knees. Something to think about.

new car urge

My 2 favorites(they aren’t new though) would be any w221 or later S65 or w213 E63(my pick would be a wagon)
The old E63 wagon was niiiiiice!

Really wish they’d have brought the C63 over to the US market; got to drive one when we lived in Germany…what a hoot!

Saw an M5 wagon a few days ago…that was cool as shit too. Here’s a brand new one local to me for $150K:


…gears inside my cranium turning…

Edit: @sloporsche you suck! :ROFLMAO: I think you just cost me $150K…

To replace my wife’s X5 that got totaled back in February when a dude in a huge truck ran a red light and took off the front end of her car:

We wound up getting her a loaded Jeep Grand Cherokee as a replacement vehicle, but it’s just not the same. I’m seriously thinking of just cutting my losses and giving it to our son and his wife…they have a baby on the way and will need a larger car soon anyway.

We’re also looking at the AMG C-Class or E-Class SUVs, but they’re no longer available with a V8. And she has a long history of driving go-fast combis too!

She drove a 6-speed 528 e40 wagon for years, had an older 528 wagon in Germany, as well as a new A4 Avant, and a couple Lesbarus back when we were younger (and poorer too, LoL), etc. And while I’d prefer a Porsche Panamera wagon (almost $300K nicely equipped though :eek:), or the Audi RS6, she likes the BMW better, and this would be a nice continuation of that tradition…

You sound like a friend. He was captain of the AF rifle team for years. Had several contacts in the AMU. They would try something, change their minds and call him. He called me once and asked if I needed 7mm projectiles. Forget how many he brought back…ammo cans full. His family will have a heck of an estate sale

I buy very little ammo. I reload so I can shoot. I shoot so I can reload. Hand in hand for me.
Maybe I know your friend. I used to shoot with some guys on the Air Force rifle team. I got this shooting jacket from them years ago. They ordered it for a new guy on the team and it was way too big for him. They said it was more hassle than it was worth to try to send it back so they traded it to me for some 77gr projectiles.

7mm SAW

Tried as much as .12” jump couldn’t get the lrx to stay under 0.8” consistently. Ran out and didn’t feel like ordering any more.

I haven’t tried seating depth test with the 162s and probably won’t. 2.25” bto is 18 thou off the lands for this barrel and just short enough to fit in my AW mags.

Going to load up 100 rounds this week to confirm dope out to 600 next weekend
I’ve killed bears and deers with the 162 eldm… all bang/flop DRT … not you’re missing out unless your state requires coppers …
I run the 160s at 2.935/2.945in feeds perfectly in my Hawkins extended coal hunter magazine.

With it being close to another month, any updates on the situation at hand?

Get this is out of your hands, it's not fun to answer for someone else. Would like to know the status, I'm sure it's not productive for you to stay on the phone at the shop answering questions.
I spoke at length with Jacob today. The shop is set up and functioning, employees have been hired and are in the process of training. The FFL was applied for and check cashed on the 18th June, as soon as FFL is issued, they can start sending out actions and continue to build orders. I have a meeting scheduled for Tuesday morning with Jacob and Jack to discuss how rifle builds will be handled going forward. I appreciate your patience and will build and deliver orders as soon as possible. The bright side is we have developed a process that will allow more barrels per day without giving up accuracy.

Push-ups, body weight squats knees over toes, and some way to do chins. 3 sets until failure every other day.

If you want to do one thing to make a huge difference, just stop the soda.
You could drop a ton of weight only from that.
You don't need to drink that shit, the sugar has you addicted.
Good luck
I weaned myself off the sugar drinks by progressively diluting them with water. First 50/50 then 75/25 and so on.
I still don't like pure water unless I am really, really thirsty but water with a dusting of lemonade powder or little bit of orange juice works for me to stay hydrated. I seems to be a psychological addiction to the palate stimulation.

Car theif caught in Medina TX

Login to view embedded media
And he surrenders without incident and then when he’s cuffed they shoot his eyes out with a pepper ball gun, literally shoot his eyes out at contact distance

Car theif ass hole ; if he’d have fought the street or pulled a gun or knife of even fought hard . But this looks like pure saddistic torture to me and the officer that did it is facing up 9 years after his felony assault conviction.

The thing I always struggle with , multiple people on the scene, lots of cameras - who thought this was a good idea and how did not one of them say something like “hey don’t this minor in the face at close range with a air gun while your on camera and he’s in cuffs you’re going to get us all jammed up “. Not one . Hopefully he can ruminate on this one while in Gen pop at Huntsville prison. I hear they have a decent library infirmary.

I remember when this happened and just say the update that he was indeed convicted, not even qualified immunity saved him from this one , wonder if he tortured animals like is being discussed in the other thread ?
