  1. Even MS has to have their own aggy...
  2. He's talking about making some poor schlub bring your stuff to your car in the rain vs. getting out and getting it yourself
  3. Ranch is in Coleman. Live in Frisco. North Dallas
  4. Last night's storms and lightning was epic.
  5. And next years it's brutal - so the playbook is to lock him in now. Full extension. Then go 8-4 next year. rinse. wash .. repeat
  6. Volquartsen makes SUPERB stuff. All of it. Cadillac of .22s
  7. Bet she already understands disappointment....
  8. I've seen this movie before
  9. Hell, sometimes that was a good weekend
  10. Yep. We were like little bowhunters, adjusting for elevation and drop. You had to arc it in there and we got damn good at adjusting for distance.
  11. I think back in the 80's it was less than $200? I was a little guy, and all my cobbled together money was in a Crown Royal bag. Quarters, $2 bills, just a hodge-podge of money from mowing lawns, birthday money, etc.
  12. We used to bullseye surfaced turtle heads in stock ponds out past 100yds all the time. Big tanks, multiple acres. We'd set up these little 'sniper hides' on the elevated tank dam and murder those little shits. One shot. No optics. Floating little black speck smaller than a golf ball. Make it count.
  13. After I graduated from my venerable Benjamin 347 pump I picked up a Beeman R7 spring piston rifle at McBrides. The spring piston is superior in just about every way - noticeably because there's no pumping (#yourmom) or bleed off of compressed air over time. I toted that Beeman for the better part of a decade as a "yute" and killed everything Texas has to offer short of deer/pigs. Ducks, quail, rabbits, snakes, lizards, doves, skunks, turtles, frogs, etc. It was smooth and dependable and I never had any issues with the recoil at all. Now that you mention it, I can't remember any recoil issues at all? Maybe the new ones are different, but my dad still has it up in WA state to this day almost 40 years later to thwart the random squirrel/rabbit messing with his garden. Same gun. Zero mods. Four decades later. He's older, so cocking the barrel down is more of a chore, but he's also 80+.
  14. I'm still waiting on my flying car.... We'll see massive initial leaps in efficiency. Paper pushers. Compilers. Researchers. Analysts. Reporting. Forms and filings. All that shit becomes instantaneous. At the end of the day, you're either on the credit or debit side of the balance sheet. And for most that are on the debit side, what real value or savings is being realized by your work? For many it's substantial, but not all.
