Maggie’s Warning, be careful what you throw in your trash

Cooked super tonight.........left over meatloaf, mashed tatters, and gravy, and some green beans...

Browned the meatloaf in a cast iron skillet, the meal was great.....

I always wash out my cast iron with hot water, then put it on a burner, and turn the temp up and season it a couple or three or four times.......I did this using grape seed oil, and got it smoking, then wiped it out with a wad of paper towels, it browned the towels, it was hot, threw the towels in the trash can.........

I went into the living room, and started surfing the Hide...........I kept smelling something that smelled like the smoking oil when I was wiping out the skillet, I went to the kitchen, and found a haze of smoke..........the paper towels I had used to wipe out the skillet were smoldering in the trash can.........took the trashcan out thru the garage and turned on the garden hose.............

Got some fans running, everything is good................

Watch what you. throw away...............

Rifle Scopes Hunting Scope suggestions

Hello all,

I’m in the market for a new hunting scope for my longer range hunting rifle. Let me know what you guys would suggest for my use case and requirements.

Range: up to 600 yards on game. Occasional training out to 1000 on paper/steel to stay fresh. No competition use.
Reticle: prefer FFP but it MUST be useable on the low end. I prefer it to be useable without illumination if such a reticle exists. SFP would also be ok too as long as the reticle is not too large.
Turrets: prefer exposed elevation with a lock or higher quality ones that won’t turn if bumped. Prefer capped windage.
Magnification: no higher than 5x on the low end, but would prefer to be at 3 or 4.
Weight: weight isn’t a huge factor. Don’t plan on doing any serious mountain or sheep hunting with this, but if I had to put a number on it I would say below 32oz is preferred.
Price: trying to stay under $2000 for this one. Used is fine as well. Can stretch the budget a bit if the Goldilocks scope is a little more expensive.

Priority list:
1. Durability
2. Tracking/RTZ
3. Low light performance
4. Glass clarity/IQ
5. Useable reticle

REM 700 6.5CM help

My current rifle is a REM 700 6.5 creed. It was used when I got it, so I do not know round count. I’ve put about 1000 thru it. Muzzle velocity average is 2569. My son has a Bergara 6.5 creed running around 2750. I have been thinking about doing a barrel change. There are so many choices from length barrel profiles and so on I shoot anywhere from 600 to 1100 yards out to a mile and there’s my problem at a mile that doesn’t quite do it. Anybody have any suggestions?

Sidearms & Scatterguns I think I want a new range belt but don't know which one

I need some help. I currently have a Tag Gear molle belt that I have been using and it works ok. This one:


I don't shoot comps so I don't think I want a stiff ass over/under USPSA style belt set up but I think I do want to try some kind of over/under belt set up rather than the padded molle style I have. Or do I?

I would just like something rigid and comfortable with less bulk to mount a pistol and a few mag pouches on for range use. No larping or SHTF in mind.

Any suggestions?

It's my Life Day - 3 year anniversary

I haven't really planned or thought this out, so it's all pretty off-the-cuff and I'm not sure where it's going. It's an important day for me, though, and it's not really something I talk about, or get to talk about, with most people in real life. Most people I know aside from my close friends, don't even know about it. And I guess I just want to talk about it a bit.

June 11th, 2022 was a Saturday, I was finishing up some work before going to meet my realtor at a few house showings. I'd been looking at houses for awhile, with the pandemic buying, money printing and plunging interest rates making buying progressively more difficult. It was a sunny, nice day, I remember that. I finished up what I was working on, realized I needed to meet my realtor, and since it was such a nice day, I grabbed my jacket, keys and helmet, deciding to take my BMW R1200RS. And that's the last thing I actually remember; I have a few memory fragments, pieces of seconds and poorly formed memories. The next thing I remember is coming to in the hospital the next day, or day after, I'm not exactly sure. My dad was there. I didn't know where I was, how I got there, or why I was there. I was laying flat on my back. I asked him why I was there, what happened. I remember telling him, "I'm so fucked." And then I don't remember much else for some time after that.

"Male 35 years old, helmeted single rider in high speed MVA, s.p. motorcycle vs car" is what the hospital intake form said. While I was on my way to meet the realtor, a Lexus pulled out directly in front of me from a parking lot, trying to cross two north-bound lanes to reach the two south-bound lanes. The driver told police he "never saw" me. When I say directly in front of me, I mean --directly-- in front of me. In what ended up being a lucky break for me, the driver behind me caught the entire thing on dash cam and turned it over to police.

Friday before the accident I was a strong, semi-jacked, outdoorsy type guy that loved to motorcycle, lift weights, kayak fish, had fished competitions, hike, camp, and had recently been skiing in Colorado with some good friends. I loved my feisty Brittany Spaniel more than the salt in food. I could squat 315#, bench 255# and deadlift 355# at 168 lbs and had previously overhead pressed 160# at 165 lbs body weight. And now, I was laying in a hospital bed, in the ICU, with no idea how I got there, or why.

I broke my left orbital, upper jaw, some bones in my sinuses and cheek. I broke my neck at cervical vertebrae C6, C7 in several places. I ruptured the ligament on the left side of my C-spine, and my C-spine had displaced a bit over 7mm. I had a spinal cord injury (SCI) at C5. My left distal radius was broken and badly displaced and my left ulna was displaced. I had broken my pelvis at the pubic symphysis, pelvic ring and IIRC had some separation or displacement of both sacroiliac (SI) joints. Thankfully, my pelvis did not displace. I also had a bilateral avulsion of the rectus abdominis --my abs tore off the bone. As I would hear repeatedly, I was absolutely lucky to be alive; I was told by more than one doctor and ICU nurse that most patient they see with my injuries don't survive them. In another bout of good luck, a prominent neurosurgeon was at the hospital and he was able to get me into emergency surgery stabilize my cervical spine anteriorly (from the front), put it back into place and relieve the pressure on my spinal cord.

Because of the broken neck and SCI, I was in a neck brace and entirely immobile. I couldn't move my legs, could barely move my arms and hands and was extremely weak. I would later learn that my dad called my oldest brother and sister and they came to the hospital as well, and, that in spite of the success of the first spine surgery, the surgeon was preparing them for the reality of caring for a quadriplegic and that it was highly likely I'd be in a chair for the rest of my life. In the next day or two, I'd have my second spine surgery to repair and stabilize the spine from the posterior (back). My memory of the first week or two is still pretty sparse from the head trauma and buckets of IV opioids, but one thing that does stand out clearly: after that second surgery when I was back in my ICU room, the surgeon came to check on me. I was half asleep and I have this thing I do where I rub my feet together to help me sleep. I was rubbing my feet together, a little bit but moving them nonetheless, when he came in and he stopped, looking at my feet and said, "oh my God, he's moving his feet." At the time, I didn't understand why this was significant, but according to this neurosurgeon, it was incredible.

A week or so later I was transferred to another hospital where my pelvis was repaired. This time only one surgery.

All in all, I spent three months in the hospital and in care facilities, recovering, rehabbing and learning to make peace with a different reality. I learned to rollover again, to sit up, feed myself and use a knife and fork, to put my socks on and get dressed, and to walk again --which is the thing people always ask about. I spent the next 9 months in day rehab and outpatient rehab for physical and occupational therapy, and had to completely relearn how to use my left hand. In the meantime, I lost my dream job that I had landed only 5 months before my accident. I still had my dog, though, and my best friend and her husband took me in for several months because I wasn't able to live on my own. And I learned a lot about myself and the human spirit.

I'm going to wrap it up here, for now, and get off this couch and get some pistol shooting in. There's so freaking much I could say on this, hell I could probably write a book on it. Maybe I'll add more to this later. But for now I need to step away. Anyway, for anyone that stayed until the end, thanks for reading my story.

If anyone has any questions about my injuries, the accident, SCI stuff, rehab, whatever, I'm pretty likely open to answering them. I recall there was another thread on here dealing with a fundraiser for a shooter that suffered an SCI and there was a decent amount of questions about it, so I'm pretty willing to share my experiences.

But right now, it's my 3rd Life Day, and I'm going to go celebrate.
