  1. Biggest, cheapest NY steak you're gonna find. About $8.99 lb. Pretty sure they have lots of these just north of SD
  2. Wordle 243 2/6 🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I use the same word every time to start. There were at least 4 possible answers to the combo that was left after the first try. I guessed correctly.
  3. We had 30 mph winds with 40-50 mph gusts yesterday and had a grassfire get away to the west of us. An old S-2A anti-sub plane from a local cropduster was flying sorties to the fire over my house. Pretty cool plane that I had never seen before. This is the same plane before the crop duster got it. https://fireaviation.com/2019/07/31/an-s-2-air-tanker-is-ready-to-fight-fire-in-kansas/
  4. Better picture. Textron has been flying a wide variety of makes and models over Marion Co, KS since the first of the year. They are always accompanied by a Beech Denali or a Cessna Sky Courier, two of their latest releases. I'm not sure why they chose us to fly over but I've been enjoying it.
  5. One of these has been flying around here accompanied by a Cessna Sky Courier. I had never seen one before today. Interesting that it's doing lots of rate of climb and dive maneuvers with a Cessna shadowing it.
  6. The Clinic called Saturday with my A1C numbers from last weeks visit. I jumped from 6.1 to 8.7. The Holidays and all of the sweets really fucked me over. All of it was my doing. The nurse suggested that I schedule an appointment to discuss medication options. I told her that I will try to cut the sweets out of my diet for the next 90 days and see how that works before I start chucking pills or getting shots. Shouldn't be that much of a challenge because I did a good job of it for the previous 15 years. @Armybrat Sorry to hear about your eye issues. I hope you are able to figure out a way to continue participating. Good luck.
  7. I laughed a month ago when folks on the east coast were whining about this. I'm not laughing now. We buy the cheapest bagged food we can for the barn cats and now snooty folks are clearing the shelves. Our fucking cats are gonna have to sharpen their claws.
  8. You made me go back and listen to this one from them.
  9. Wordle 229 X/6 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ Had to end sometime, I suppose.
  10. Mine is a woodgrained 73. Think you might want another one?
  11. Both of my IHC pickups are like that. My TravelAll even has a front fender port for a firewall mounted secondary tank. That seems safe. I never fill that one
  12. The fact that I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars gives me the right to put up a sign and keep you out. I hate that fucking song.
  13. That sounds right. Locally they are saying 4"-8" but southeast of here, Joplin and the like, they are showing 10+. Somebody is getting clobbered, they just don't know who yet.
  14. There was kid, 13 or 14, at the Wichita Gun Club around that same time that shot a scoped Garand in the Hunter class Matches. Every fucking time that scope would bite his eyebrow and he would be a bloody mess by the end. And he won his share of the iron. I always imagined he would win all the time if he had a Mini. I can't imagine not flinching and getting punched every shot.
  15. When they first came out, I converted a couple of them to 6mm-223 for a guy that used them in NRA High-Power matches to replace his Garands. He had some sucess but got tired of handloading and gave up on the experiment. Fun little guns for sure.
  16. It's not Jade's chili. It's a can of Campbell's Bean and Bacon soup with a can of hot Rotel and some browned Hot Jimmie dean sausage. That's how I do lazy.
  17. There was an OLD guy living on the property that claimed to have been a kid when Butch and Sundance were in business. He said he could remember his Dad selling horses to them. He was a windy old coot and I don't have a clue if he was pulling our legs or not. It was pretty entertaining any way.
