    An 8 year old Florida boy was drug off his bike and killed by two dogs.

    My nephew is a Firefighter/Paramedic with Deland Fire Dept. I hope he wasn't on this call.

    Target interpretation help.

    I have to question your chronograph data as you had quite a few shots not recorded. I'm also thinking there's some inconsistency in your technique as your groups show some pretty wild horizontal and verticlal. That said, I'd pick a load that has worked for many others, ie; 44.0, or a velocity...

    Giving up booze.

    Heavy drinking for wayyyyy too many years on top of work related demons on top of, whatever, it doesn't matter. Making coffee one morning and my brain shut off. Like flipping a switch shut off. Got the fancy ride to the ER and when all was said and done, the medical team 5 days later told me in...

    Has anyone here quit or "quit" tobacco?

    Quoting drinking was harder for me than quitting smoking. Smoking I don't miss at all and can't stand being around one who does smoke. Nearly 5 years since I quit drinking and I still miss it. A lot. But I am stronger than any desire to drink anymore. Sorry for your loss those years ago. I can...

    Has anyone here quit or "quit" tobacco?

    You have to have a reason that is personal to you and you alone. You must decide for yourself. Someone else cannot make the decision for you. Someone else's reason won't work for you. It's not one day at a time, it's one smoke at a time. The urge to smoke lasts about 6-8 minutes. Who can't...

    Has anyone here quit or "quit" tobacco?

    Quit cold turkey, 2-3 packs a day to nothing, in 1982. Never cheated once. Never restarted or dipped or cigars or pipes. Nothing. Quit cold and kept it that way for 43 years now.

    This might make for an interesting discussion...

    $3500-10000 per acre. I once looked at a 35 acre property the asking price was $135.000, 3800 per acre. I could have had the acre lot next to my house for 10,000 in about the same time frame. Forest Preserve got a huge referendum passed and started buying every tract they could with about $200M...

    The Forest Preserve District and school boards along with deep pocket developers are causing land to be sucked up at $70,000-$250,000 per acre in the county we live.

    Something fun

    A rabbit or squirrel is no match for a good sling shot and a 3/8" ball bearing. So I heard........ 😇

    Presidential Medal of Freedom

    His foundation has sent over 2,000 kids through college for one. 100% full ride. He's very philanthropic. And very quiet about it.

    Continuous scope ring slippage

    That was the tip Ross Seyfried wrote about some years ago to prevent scope slippage on his big magnum rifles.

    HOLY CRAP

    Congratulations on the 34th anniversary. The new ride is incredible. My wife and I had our 49th anniversary last week on the 27th. It's been a lot of work but. has been quite the ride. She gifted me a Porsche once. It was delivered in a Revell-Monogram box............

    And the doctors won't believe you have side effects when you tell them after they put you on some new 'wonder drug'. Don't bother asking how I know.

    That piece looks strikingly similar to my Seamaster.

    Third Worst President Dead at 100

    Carter was the last Democrat I voted for, and that was under duress. UAW union thugs threatened each and every one of us with loss of good standing if we didn't vote for him. That said, we all know he was a pretty lousy President. He was worthy of the Nobel. Much more so than Obummer ever could...

    Minimally obtrusive ear pro you can leave on for periods of time

    Take a look at Sordin Supreme Pro-X SFA with 31db NRR. They are the very best muffs, and the most comfortable, muffs I have ever worn. They are not cheap. They are worth it. Sordin.com for info and I got mine from Amazon.
