  1. I would look into a 2-3 trip out of the fleet in San Diego going south. One of the 7-10 long range trips is near the top of a bucket list trip for me.
  2. On the banks of the river where the willows hang down And the wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound Down in the hollow where the waters run cold It was there I first listened to the lies that you told Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face The past I remember time cannot erase The letter you wrote me it was written in shame And I know that your conscience still echo’s my name Now the nights are so long, Lord sorrow runs deep And nothing is worse than a night without sleep I’ll walk out alone and look at the sky Too empty to sing, too lonesome to cry If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes I’d lie there for hours in the chilly cold marshes If the ladies were squirrel’s with high bushy tails I’d fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails
  3. My daughter (nopics) send me this last week saying she wanted to get a camper top for her Tacoma and build out a sleeping platform similar to the one below. If she decides to go forward I'll post up some pics with what she does.

  5. Hey everyone, look at my new sbr ...
  6. Ahem
  7. Those Camp Chef stoves are awesome but they don’t pack well IMO. I know they have bags and stuff for them but they are kinda ackward. We had a couple for the adult patrol when my son was in scouts and it seemed like they were always in the way or falling off of a shelf. My buddy has several of these cheap burners on a sheet metal covered counter in his camp barn. I want to take something like these and mount in one of the old Coleman stoves. The enclosed box shape of the Colemans is what I like for packing in the back of a truck.
  8. I’m your huckleberry. I’m up at Dad’s checking on him and just walked out and looked in the garage. There are these three and 5’ to the right a box with 2 more in it and two stoves next to that. I’m sure the storage shed in the back yard has 4 or 5 hanging from the rafters and there are 3 or4 ones we actually use in a container at the farm. Let me see if I can find one that is in decent shape.
  9. Pos rep for using a white gas Coleman. We probably have 10 stoves and 20+ lanterns. Dad and Mom did a bunch of garage sale trip when they first retired and I think dad bought every one he saw. I really like how sturdy the old metal frames are and want to take one of them and put in a medium flow propane burner to have one for frying fish.
  10. Stole this from @Hornius Emeritus and his Traces of Texas page
  11. When I read of this $25-30/hr people are making driving uber/lyft, is that a net or gross figure? Is there a mileage allowance given or anything like that? I'm pretty much a rideshare luddite so I don't really know how that side of the business works.
  12. I probably posted this before but left out a couple days early and stopped one day in Capulin and hiked the rim of the volcano, then stayed in the cabins at the NRA Whittington Center and spend one day doing a full pack hike up into their back country. I think both of these helped with acclimation for a bunch of Houston flatlanders.
  13. Got an email today from them announcing a show at the Height theater Nov 11th.
  14. The higher the altitude the smaller the jet. http://cdn.powerequipment.honda.com/pe/pdf/pubs/pci54675.pdf
  15. Doesn't matter if you use one of these.
  16. Car pretty much always beats hammer and knife.

    They are fun for shooting at bumble bees flying around the old cedar pole barn and impromptu ritz cracker skeet with an iron sighted yute 22 single shot.
  18. Yep. Sales tax is based on where you register the car, not where you buy it. This. I bought a new truck in Bartlesville, OK over internet in 1998. Flew up there, signed the docs in 20 min and drove back to Tx. Took the MSO to the tax office and paid the tax in TX to get it registered. These days you would also need to get it inspected in you county first.
  19. This popped up on my ytube feed a few days ago and I finally watched it tonight. Great story and I’m surprised they had room for enough fuel considering that small boat had to carry Al’s balls too. The Al Grover Story: A legend. Al Grover set out to accomplish something that had never been done Crossing the Atlantic in a small outboard. There were numerous attempts, preparations and changed plans. And once the trip was finally under way in 1985, he’d endure a gale, a hurricane and even falling off the boat before reaching Lisbon and going down in the Guinness Book of World Records. https://algroversmarine.com/our-story/transatlantic-journey/
  20. 11 posts in and not a single velvet Elvis or dogs playing poker. This place is slipping
  21. My son has a S&W MP-22. Great gun for AR training. I liked it better than the HK as the mag release, bolt release and safety operate exactly like an AR. As for misfires, I like either CCI 40gr minimags or Winchester 40gr M22. Both cylcle the MP-22 great and rarely any misfires unlike some of the other 36gr bulk ammo.
  22. OK, that will do for a rifle
