  1. Fuck anyone that would expect me or anyone else to somewhere and spend a weeks time on events leading up to a wedding.
  2. The first video of that drone bomb attack from a page or so back briefly showed a much bigger explosion/dust cloud in the last second of video. I wonder if they dropped on them again or hit they with a different weapon.
  3. Start with a red dot before irons IMO. It make hits easy and very fun for a beginner. As they get the fundamentals of trigger pulls, breathing, etc, then you can remove it to try iron sights, then a scope. My kid’s youth Marlin single shot 22 w /a red dot and 22 shorts is absolutely a blast on 25 yard steel spinner targets. Everyone loves shooting it. ETA: I say that as my kids had shot thousands of BBS out of a red rider before they ever shot a 22 so they had an understanding of sight picture with irons beforehand
  4. Tree pictures are so last year, everyone’s sending resume cakes these days.
  5. Tell me you've never fished offshore during fall in the NE without telling me you've never fished offshore in the NE.
  6. Was really wanting him to catch some sort of large, windblown sphere to the head while wearing that stupid batting helmet.
  7. You can get the CZ 457 American with a 22LR and a 17HMR switch barrel. I think I’ve read on Rimfirecentral that someone doing the same with the bull barrel Varmint model.
  8. CZs are very nice if buying new. Both of my kids started on a youth Marlin single shot with a red dot. I bought my daughter a Browning SA-22 (great gun and daughter is right handed, left eye dominant) and my son a S&W MP-22. If I had to do over I would have bought the CZ instead but 25rnd mag dumps with the M&P are a lot cheaper than a full size AR.
  9. Reminiscing of sunburned legs on hot vinyl seats aside, first try is go to the store and buy a can of Freon with the gauge. Look up your cars ac system online and see if you can find the recommended low side pressure and use that along with the gauge to top off the ac. If it was a slow leak, it probably leaked down to a point where the pressure was too low for the compressor to turn on. My Tundra had a slow leak and I limped it along three years putting in a lb or so every 6-9 months.

    I bought a 1999 Rem 700 classic in 17 Rem a month after my son was born. I love the gun. 20gr vmax on a near max charge of varget is 4200+ fps and about 3/4 moa. It doesn’t like really long ranges but under about 250 yds stuff just goes poof and falls over.
  11. We probably still have shit tons of rockeyes and M26s in inventory and didn't sign the Oslo Treaty on cluster munitions, but I don't think we would give any of them to Ukraine with our blessing to use.

    Wife hit a slot machine for $12k once. Got paid in Benjamin’s. Looked similar to that gif.
  13. Hey, not everyone can dock a single screw boat like this guy
  14. There was a young kid in the car and the cops knew that otherwise they probably would have shot it up.
  15. You seem to like the finer things so a Christensen in 6.5PRC unless you find a gunsmith and build one up. He’s aggie but Horizon in college station makes some great precision rifles.
  16. Team no-flashers unless you actually have an issue or emergency and in those cases move over to the right hand lane. If only there was some sort of an indicator on the back of our vehicles to notify drivers behind us that we are slowing down. Also, flashing light related: Fuck those construction crew guy that have those super bright flashing red and blue led lights. What happened to just using amber as a caution? Drivers in the opposite lanes will slow way the fuck down expecting an accident that may have spilled over in to their side of the road and its a white F250 construction truck right up against the jersey barrier.
  17. Looks like the Clear Lake fleet came out to see her go by ...
  18. Spent a cold winter night on the battleship Texas when my son was a Webelo. They got to raise the colors over her which was a pretty cool thing to do Would have sucked to be sleeping stacked 4 or 5 high I hope they get her repaired and find a good place for her to reside. I'm kinda partial to San Jacinto but anywhere they can put her and she will generate enough revenue to cover her maintenance will be fine.
  19. My Key West came with the 500 gph Rule that is standard on most small boats. First thing I upgraded was to put in a 2k gph Rule and a float switch that would trigger about 2" higher in the bilge that the factory one. Bilge float switches suck and I had replaced them at lease once before but a few years ago both of the switches would only work intermittently if at all. I ended up replacing the small pump switch with a solid state Water Witch bilge switch and the 2k pump switch with an Ultra Safety Systems Bilge jr. The USS switches are $$ but considered one of the best ones you can buy. Same with the Rule 2K pump. pulling with a
  20. RV roofs suck. All of them. Sorry you are having leaks. You could undo the edge areas and peel back the roof like flatty did and inspect to see whats going on if you haven't already. If you have to replace wood then you'll need some carpentry skills. For my trailer slide, it has a TPO roof similar to the trailer top with a strip of eternabond tape all the way around next the the wall part of the slide. I would remove all of that tape and take a look under there and see if there was a way for me to splice in a new piece of wood and then glue the roof material down and put tape and/or lap sealant over the seam. FF - Did you use an adhesive to glue the roof material back down? It seems like that isn't being done very well on a lot of trailers if at all. Big discussions about it on my trailer brand FB groups and owners forum about roof bubbles and then the whole part of the roof tearing back once all of the front roof material pulls back from the screws. I've seen a bunch of small bubble repairs that ended with using 4" or 6" Eternabond tape over the whole front seem area fastening the metal clamp bar that covers that front/roof joint. Then they using 3 or 4" eternabond tape down the whole gutter edge seam. Seems to work ok but if you get the whole roof flapping up, just go with the Rv Armor roof system or the other similar one.
  21. Fuck not owning a boat/boats!
