    Movie Theater John Dutton's Pistol

    Kayce recognized that pistol John was killed with. I think Jamie had a similar piece in Season 1. Maybe a message from John ? Or a connection to Jamie planted by Sarah

    What XBolt and What round

    I noticed X-Bolts are on sale at big discounts, like 40% off at a few big wholesalers. If your FFL uses Lipsey's, have them check. 6.5 PRC and 7mm Mag were available.

    West Virginia

    No sales tax here in WV on firearms and ammunition. Our state government is improving, as is our business climate. Folks are starting to move here. An important distinction, it's the Monongahela River And Monongalia County Been a while since I was in school at WVU '89, but should be plenty...

    Myrtle Beach travel - things to do recommendations

    Brookgreen Gardens. I wasn't excited about going but it turned out to be a highlight of the last trip. 10000 acre former cotton plantation full of statues, gardens, fountains and trees. Amazing. Huntington Beach state park is across the street and was part of the same plantation. Nice...

    What’s the BEST bourbon?

    Travellers #40. What a great bottle ! Maybe not for a connoisseurs tastes, but a smooth, warm caramel; light in the mouth with no lingering aftertaste or heat, just simple well behaved flavour.

    Maggie’s Who has Starlink?

    I've got three in use and getting another. One is the larger and more expensive commercial setup. I'm happy with all of them. I tried to extend with the mesh system about 300 ft as well. Put one of the nodes outside about halfway point. I could never get that to work well and ended up...

    The Greenbrier was home to "Greek Island", the congressional relocation bunker. It was hidden in plain sight but was not really a big secret. The big blast doors were unloaded from railcars and trucked thru WSS for all to see. My grandfathers business excavated the hole for the bunker, and...

    Bath county VA?

    Gotta make your own excitement in these parts. Hunting, fishing, ATV, UTV in warmer months. Skiing in the winter at Snowshoe; but we haven't had a good snow in years. This winter has been the mildest I remember, and the grass already needs mowed. There is plenty of public land, the...

    Sat phone recommendations

    I've used Iridium and Inmarsat in remote parts of Canada. Iridium is much better. Their system is low orbit so latency is way less than Inmarsat. Both require a good view of the sky, but Inmarsat only has a couple satellites visible at any time, kinda like XM radio. Iridium has way more...
