For the record, “they” can install those ammo vending machines anywhere practical & profitable if desired. If anyone chooses to give them their money for the convenience,, it ain’t any of my business. Go for it, but I won’t buy from them.

At least someone in the Houston water department knows how to turn on the emergency valve.

No shit, Mr. Watson….

Died in her sleep from complications of diabetes in Blanco. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/shelley-duvall-dead-shining-actress-1235946118/

Sounds like a middle school faculty meeting or most secondary workshops.

What happened to my pants? Has anyone seen my pants?

When we returned home last Wednesday evening from my 5 hour stay in the ER for the a-fib attack, we discovered our central air unit was not functioning. Got very little sleep that night, even with all the fans running. Our a/c service cae out that Thursday afternoon to tell us the 12 year old unit needed parts that were not in stock and had to be ordered. So we spent the next 4 nights at son’s nearby house until the a/c was fixed Monday afternoon. (we had spent the mornings & afternoons in our house). Anyway, things were back to normal by yesterday. Son flew out to Reno on bank business early that morning, then his wife - who had not been feeling well since Sunday - called to inform us she had just tested positive for the Covid. Sure hope our son doesn’t get sick and be stuck out in Nevada. DIL feels crappy, but not critical. No symptoms for us so far. Luckily DIL had isolated herself upstairs our last two days at their house.

Dude turned on his afterburner.

The acoustics in his singlewide trailer add to the ambiance.

Just a gimmick, IMO. I’ll continue to order in bulk from SGammo & similar outlets.

Interesting read….hunter kills Kodiak bear with 10mm pistol. https://www.outkick.com/culture/bear-shot-pistol

I’m surprised it ran long enough for him to accomplish that much.

Here’s an interesting 2 page thread from the City-Data UK forum - topic is about their July 4th election, but devolves into discussion about the Ukraine War, Brexit, & NATO. It includes a couple of interviews (one by Tucker Carlson 🙃) with Nigel Farage and an American policy wonk. Poster “Brave New World” is an anti-American Brit, “James Austen” is a former Brit who lives on the US West Coast, and “Dizzybint” is an old Scottish lady who is an ardent monarchist. Also there apparently is an American poster it it too. Am not familiar with the other participants. They are pretty civil even though some of the opinions are quite divergent. Well worth the read to see what a handfull of furriners sre thinking. https://www.city-data.com/forum/united-kingdom/3473682-bbc-nick-robinson-interviews-nigel-farage.html

He is their “Bill Little”?

A dude on a firearms forum posted his fishing story today….. Recently got back from a two-week vacation with the family in Playa del Carmen. The first five days we dealt with Alberto and a crap ton of rain, once that cleared out the weather was gorgeous, although a little hot. Had a great time, including a day on the water fishing. The only big thing we caught was an 8' nurse shark my 16 yr old son reeled in. We let the shark go, but caught a barracuda, a bunch of smaller bonito, snapper, and a couple of grouper that tasted amazing! Now, for the near catastrophic ending to the trip and potentially, me... One of the deck hands took a bunch of photos and videos with his phone during the trip, also turned out that they knew the deckhand who helped me catch a sailfish in Cabo in May. Heading back to the dock, I went up on the fly bridge to start sharing photos back and forth. Leaning up against the back rail, looking at my phone and not paying attention, we went under a low bridge. The concrete I-beam hit me square in the chest, knocked me backwards over the rail, which caused me to do two full somersaults, one onto my back on the top deck, and then another onto the bottom deck. By the grace of God, I did not hit my head, the fighting chair, or a movable set of steps on the lower deck, or the boat rail. I managed to land in the only clear space on the lower deck and had less than 3-4" on either side of me. I was also not expecting it, so did not have time to tense up, otherwise I am sure I would have broken something. As it was, I got out of the incident with a nasty bruise on my right shoulder blade, right forearm, and right bicep. I still don't know how I got so lucky, other than as mentioned... the grace of God. Being almost 49, I was sore as hell the next day though!!

His chin pubes tickle Pate’s little ballsack.

Close, but not as close as this reality….

What is Pate smoking, ditchweed?

You should be checking for lightning alerts in your area.

I guess Sark will be reduced to recruiting lunch pail guys…..

They are exactly of what they speak.

My ride was influenced by Yunogo.

I recall an Argentine commentary that it was “unfair” of the Brits to bring a detachment of Gurhkas to help kick ass in the Falklands War 40+ years ago.
