    Service Animals

    We had a guy in a Lowe's store in TX that was a veteran and the VA prescribed him a Lab for emotional support. Lowe's hired them both. Great dog, always stayed and focused on him. His PTSD would cause panic attacks and the dog would sense the change and instigate a need for petting or...

    Thoughts? Are we about to have another depression?

    I was fortunate to get a very good education by being in the major industries that caused the last several recessions. That along with some book learning gives me a few points I would like to offer. 1. 1995-2001 was the peak and over investment in everything .com related. Long run optical...

    I could give a fuck about Khashoggi

    The foggy aspect of this whole story is that he is a columnist for WaPo. So, that doesn't make him a journalist. He is a propagandist, plain and simple and he has played sides since the Afganistan War... err... the one with the Russians.... He played both sides to promote the Muslim...

    Maggie’s Female pilot had huge balls, did she have the brains though.

    As a frequent flyer out of Charlotte Douglas.... it is easier to fly out but harder to fly into... I mean it's bad enough trying to find CLT at close range, much less from 34,000 Feet...

    I could give a fuck about Khashoggi

    I happened to have on Sean Hannity on the car radio today, and he put it a very distinct way. He said, why didn't the media cover the "What Happened?" angles and projections with Benghazi? We had an Ambassador, State Employee and 2 SO's killed and the MSM didn't even bother to ask what...

    Hunting & Fishing Neck shot, how???

    Every deer that my father or daughter has shot in the neck... from the base of the shoulders to the head have all dropped immediately and not moved. High on the neck, low on the neck.. if it directly enters and doesn't graze.. they will go down quickly.

    Sport Bike Track Days

    My last Gixxer 1L bike, I bought all the race plastics, wired the bolts added quick connects to get it prepped in a few hours. Fitted it one time and never went to the track on it. I always would rent ... hey... why low or hide side my baby,... besides... 600 on track 1L on street right...

    So I have a stupid question.

    You know... this isn't a stupid question at all.... I do not like standard adjustables for this very reason. I leave them on the daughter's and wife's AR's... and go A2 stocks on mine. Ouch!

    Gear of the Year, What do you think ?

    There is so many... but I will list just one. 1. The Voodoo phenomenon... That is a driver on many fronts. It allows sound practice for centerfire and a reasonable price. It is driving new forms of competition, that is virtually similar to the PRS without the need of vast tracks of land. (And...

    Favorite underwear. No seriously!

    Ex Officio / Duluth Trading are the same manufacturer... these are the ones to get. You can get by with 3 of these for 1 year by hand washing and hanging if needed. Good for hiking and outdoors.

    Good Pranks

    We had a great boss that would prank everyone and encouraged it. Nothing harmful as we were in a Top 50 company HQ. One Friday, the cleaning lady was cleaning the bathrooms, so we lifted a few urinal mints from her cart and taped them in various areas in his office. We made 1 very easy to...

    Please, Thank You and Youre Welcome?

    I have a nephew from my wife's side of the family that didn't have his Dad around growing up. He is 19 now and went with the wife and their clan to the beach, stopping over at our house before they all went down. We went to IHOP for breakfast before they all took off to the beach and I got mad...

    FGMM 168 quality?

    A buddy and I used FGMM 168's last year in a few matches. We did notice that the newer lots did not have the velocity nor consistency as the older lots. We didn't chrono, but we could definitely tell side by side at groups out to 300.
