  1. Lol, if you'd have asked the thread when a good time it was a good time to start binging we'd have told you. But yeah, that's definitely one way to guarantee zero productivity for most of a day.
  2. Good luck on your morning hunts, y'all. I've got to get the kids ready for a family reunion, but I'll be out there this evening.
  3. Speaking of stealthy flying stuff, I hope Aurora exists and is making daily hypersonic flights over Russia only to pop up on radar for a brief second wherever Putin is holed up that day.
  4. Personally, I think it would be a huge disservice to not bring Thrawn in to this at some point. He's the perfect character for this type of thing.
  5. Don't they have to lift the bed to get to the fuel pump on those? Could have been a lot worse. No boozy nap after the morning hunt for Brisket!
  6. Didn't someone say that would happen after you flushed the transmission?
  7. I set up the feeders at the beginning of September and only got pictures of crows, raccoons, a coyote, and a fox that seems to come to eat corn almost every night. No signs of deer at any of the feeders, just lots of corn on the ground. I moved my camera last weekend to a creek crossing on a pipeline next to a spring and got a picture of a nice young buck with potential the first night, but nothing else but the same with the addition of a small porker until the pictures from today came through and I had a doe on the cam in the middle of the afternoon and another (possibly the same) just before sunset. This is East Texas, so maybe there are enough acorns on the ground that they could care less about the corn? I dunno. My FIL has deer coming to his feeder on his tiny little plot an hour away, so who knows. Anyhow, it looks like I'll just be sneaking around looking at places where I have historically seen deer or setting up in a stand and hoping something shows up. Young buck: He doesn't look old enough to shoot if I run across him, but I know there has to be more out there. This is a 350 acre property with very little hunting pressure. One side has a subdivision with 5 acre plots along it, two have tracts of land owned by kinfolks that don't get a ton of hunting pressure, and the other is a highway. There's no way there aren't mature bucks out there given the circumstances. It would be nice to get one on the cam though.
  8. Its a drain? If it's not completely busted maybe one of the pipe coating services can fix it? Of course you have to take care of the root of the problem as well.
  9. I think we've already established that she is Bradley Cooper's sister.
  10. I honestly think that other people groups don't think like Americans. Fighting guerrilla warfare and revolution is basically bred into us. Not just culturally, but genetically. You had to have the right genetic makeup to fight and survive on the frontier.
  11. These guys? https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2019/05/14/the-navys-probe-into-sky-penis/
  12. It kinda ruins the mood when you get a picture of a puppy shoved up her butthole?
  13. All of that. It makes you wonder if they will show any pushback from elements within the empire. Surely there are folks there who share the empire's vision, but disagree with the tactics that do nothing but breed rebellion. It would be a great setup for the rise of Thrawn.
  14. Man, I'm glad they didn't dump this all at once. I'd have to call in to work for a couple days and find some Adderall.
  15. Me, after making a turn: Weere am I going now? Wife: It's too the left. Me: How far is it? What street am I turning on? Wife: I'll tell you when we get close. Me: ... A few minutes pass by... Wife: You were supposed to turn right right there!
  16. Barbaren (Barbarians, I only put the title in the original German becasue you lose something if you watch the dubbed version) was good for season 1. I'm a suckered for these historical shows, though. Someone could make a show about George Washington eating his breakfast and I'd be on the edge of my seat.
  17. I never read the book or watched any of the other movies, but I'm having a hard time paying attention to the story because I'm so entranced by the attention to detail. Little things that most people wouldn't notice like the farmer shooting a black powder gun (because it is 1918 and there were still a lot of black powder guns in use back then) at them when they steal the goose. Somebody deserves an Oscar for all of these little things alone.
  18. There's a chance it was Gandalf when they filmed the first season but it won't be when they film the second.
  19. Speaking of wheel guns, here is a SAA clone with a short barrel and birdshead grip in a holster featuring a giant armadillo eating a big rig. Supposedly, the full length Colts were a favorite of the Texas Rangers. They point likely and the extra sight radius is handy, even if they are a bit ungainly. Speaking of ungainly, the full size Colts are downright light compared to the grandaddy of all six shooters.
  20. Since I have Fridays off, I dropped my daughter odd at school and then went and checked out some of the smaller gunshops in town to so if any of them had any black powder supplies. No luck there, but one of the ones had what looked like fightlight pistolgrip lower matched with a 300 BO upper. Something like this.
  21. @Armybrat, nevermind. I reviewed the ATF worksheet, and you are about to have an SBR, regardless of whether or not your new gun is practical to shoulder and fire. I have a Radical Firearms .300 BO pistol that I put the original sig brace on that I think qualifies, so maybe you can go that route. Or you can just wait and hope enforcement of the new rule gets stayed because using the Chevron Doctrine to essentially change laws that have criminal implications is probably not constitutional.
  22. I admittedly haven't kept up with everything, but the ATF put out a worksheet to help determine whether it is a pistol or SBR, and I think you might be OK as long as the brace isn't adjustable for length of pull and you put a red dot on it instead of iron sights. Because apparently only rifles have iron sights, and the presence of iron sights is a strong indicator that you intend to use it as a rifle.
  23. Your left hand must be pissed after it got all prepped for a bunch of new posts only to see there wasn't any pron and just words. Sorry for the interruption, here is a picture of what it looks like when you shoot your flintlock all afternoon trying to work up a load. I really need to polish the pan to make it easy to at least wipe that part clean between shots. And here's a powder horn and hunting pouch I made myself. Now that we've got that out of our way, I don't see the harm in a little discussion of gun policy in this thread as long as we don't get too crazy. Like folks have mentioned upthread, those discussions can't really be had in the CR because folks who are just to dumb to help themselves can't keep from spewing their ignorance everywhere.
  24. I prefer my eggs over medium, with some Cajun spice sprinkled on them. Or maybe Fiesta brand fajita seasoning, depending on the mood I am in.
  25. I mean, they are already using AK-47 variants for their blasters, so... Han Solo's blaster was pretty much a doctored up Mauser C96, which would have been an iconic collector's firearm anyhow. We have a guy running out with an Ice Cream maker in ESB. As mentioned, they basically took a stock AK-47 variant for the current rebels. I don't think we should be too surprised if they are just using run of the mill ski boots for props.
