  1. Some really cool, historic stuff up for sale. Group buy? Bonhams This one in particular..... Pat Garrett's SAA that killed Billy the Kid And this..... BILLY THE KID DOUBLE BARREL HAMMER SHOTGUN TAKEN FROM DEPUTY BOB OLINGER AND USED TO KILL HIM
  2. I'm not very savvy playing the points game, but I do use FHR every chance I get. Have had some good luck with room upgrades while the $100 spending credit, wifi and breakfast keep ancillary costs down. Checked in once at the same time as the couple traveling with us. Buddy's wife was PISSED when they upgraded us and read off the perks, after they were just given their keys and told to enjoy their stay. He was carrying and paid with the card but didn't book with FHR.
  3. The proper counterweights were still over by the funnel cakes.
  4. Been down this road..... At least in the one I looked at, the buy-in option was only those who wanted to start in what was considered Independent Living. You sell your house and "buy" a condo/townhouse on the property. You live on site, have access to all the meals, programs, etc., for a monthly fee, but aren't using the care services. Basically an all inclusive retirement community. Cleaning, lawncare, maintenance etc. is all taken care of. Simplifies life, but you still have your own place, own car, and full independence. If and when you need assisted living, you either a) stay in that townhouse/condo and pay an increased fee for help to come in, or b) move out of the townhouse/condo and into the actual facility and live in a pod with assistance on hand (higher monthly fee) Then you would transition from there to skilled nursing / nursing home care in a hospital room setting if it progresses that far. The Independent Living option is for those who want to have their own place, don't need any care, but want the convenience of all the services. They're the ones who "buy-in" and then resell at some guaranteed price point. Those who come to the facility directly into assisted living and or skilled care don't do the buy-in / re-sell, and simply pay the monthly cost of whatever care level they require. The buy in / buy out is sort of like a required put option on the condo when you move, die, or go into the main facility for assisted and skilled nursing. I know a widower in his early 70's who did this. Sold his house, got an Independent Living Condo and knows he won't ever have to move again. Still travels a bunch, and when he is gone he doesn't have to worry about anything. Zero maintenance, doesn't have to worry about a house, maid, lawn guy when he's not there. When he's there, he's free to do whatever he wants, has everything he needs, none of the ownership hassles, and uses the amenities as he choses.
  5. That effort would change the whole flavor profile of crawfish boils in southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas. They'd be adding lawmaker sausage instead of andouille to the boils and the taste wouldn't quite be the same.
  6. Bingo! The ideal time to spray or fog (to maximize mosquito killing and minimize collateral damage) would be dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are active and the pollinators aren't. That's why all of the automatic misting systems are set for those times. Pyrethrum for example, as a contact killer, is effective only on the critters who are out in the spray. Don't fog or spray during the daylight hours if you can help it.
  7. No shit. Why put in all the work and heartache if you won’t do things like this for yourself when it pays off / pays out? Well done and congrats.
  8. Head should always be kept on a swivel while on patrol?? Doesn't sound like much of a perimeter.
  9. And tell us how you canned the meat please?
  10. Yep, they've been "tripping" them in the street and letting them flail around as a deterrent to other rioters for years. I'd imagine IDF also has enough covert kills on leadership targets over the years using those integrally suppressed 10/22's to fill a small town phonebook.
  11. That’ll be the plot in the sequel to Hell Fighters. Can’t wait to see how Red Adair would have solved this one.
  12. Can't speak to the open marriage or class of jet but I think you're covered on the water. Met a guy who worked on boats for the Holt's a few years back. They're well boated.
  13. It may solve the funding crisis we have with regard to Social Security. These folks aren't going to live long enough to drain the funding. On the flip side, any savings would be offset by increased Medicare and Medicaid costs. Regardless, it'll become more and more apparent in mortality rates and life expectancy in the U.S. Ever see a morbidly obese octogenarian or older? They aren't there. There are a lot of 60 year olds who look and act 80-90, but they aren't.
  14. SG AMMO is under $.40 (delivered) for 1000 of Blazer brass 115gr fmj 9mm. Been a while since we've seen that, especially for brass and not steel case like the Tula.
  15. Glad to see the bump. Had a good laugh last night. Came home and there was a bottle on the counter. Not unusual as my wife is a normie who enjoys Prosecco and cocktails. I looked at it and it said Zero Proof Ritual Tequila Alternative. When she walked by I asked "What in the hell is this?" She went on and on about how she'd been craving Mexican Mules and Ranch Water since it was hot, but didn't want the calories so she bought this "alternative". Said it was great, probably wouldn't buy real tequila going forward, bla, bla, bla, bla. Want to know how I KNOW I'm an alcoholic and she's not???????? Dumbest shit I've ever heard of......makes perfect sense to her.
  16. Shocking (not really), but poison arrows (not darts) were / are a thing in Mississippi deer hunting. At least until recently (may still be) while it was illegal to buy the paralyzing drug in MS, it was not illegal to buy in Alabama and hunt with in MS. They called them "pods". Rationale.....you be the judge.........., is that the paralysis of the respiratory system speeds up eventual death, reducing suffering. Law may have changed, but 10-15 years ago it was pretty common for bowhunters to use Anectine up there.
  17. Well, this is certainly an explanation for all of the ERCOT trouble. The bird-drones are sucking the juice out of the transmission lines through the inductive charging coils. Makes sense to me.
  18. Several years ago I bought some Sig 226 .40 trade-ins and a stash of magazines. Police trade-ins are a great value normally if your looking for a utility pistol. Most are like new if not legitimately brand new / never issued.
  19. I’ve got one who’s smart enough that he’s learned to climb down into a cottonseed pen, and sleep there on the soft seed, protected by the chicken wire. Climbs out to eat and back in to sleep- over and over every nights.
  20. That (bolded) isn't necessarily untrue. However, as was stated above, the .40 becoming obsolete is utter nonsense. Hell, manufacturers still made the 10mm after all these years, only to see it come back into relative popularity. The .40 isn't going anywhere even if no one made a single new gun chambered for it. There is an enormous population of existing .40's that need to be fed. That kid was working in the shoe department last month. Buy what fits and you shoot well.
  21. Agreed. My experience was having the airline say - "show me where it says your name and show me where it says negative." I pulled up an email test result on my phone and scrolled to those two spots . They cared nothing about seeing the date, the testing facility, or anything specific. Name....Negative....enjoy your flight. Regardless how you feel about the regulation, it's difficult to blame the airlines for waving people through. Those ticketing agents can't be expected to turn into medical professionals and if they did carefully examine every passenger's document for full compliance, it would take hours to move a line for even one full flight checking in.
  22. Testing done at resorts for return flights to US have become a joke. They don't want positive tests showing up at their site, know most traveling US citizens are vaccinated anyway, and are just going through the motions to give a test to get tourists their paperwork to let them board US bound flights. Last test I had they barely touched my nose, and it was the same for my friends. Waved the swab close to the nose and printed a negative test. Cursory box-checking at this point. I started laughing and the nurse gave me a STFU look and waved me out.
  23. Can you elaborate on this more please…. In layman’s terms?
  24. How would those Braniff ultrasuede uniforms fare today when a plane sits on the tarmac at DFW for 4 hours in August? FA's would be shedding uniforms mid-aisle.
  25. I'm not sure when or if we will ever get back to these prices, but I went back and looked........ That was bulk pricing on-line. 1/29/2020 200 Round Case - 300 Blackout 150 Grain Jacketed Soft Point Federal Ammo - 300BLKB $139.50 + $12.00 Shipping 12/13/2019 Sig Sauer Elite Performance 300 Blackout 125gr FMJ Ammo - 20 Rounds $14.50 01/01/2020 200 Round Can - 300 Blackout 110 Grain V-Max Hornady Ammo - 80876 $109.50 + $12.00 Shipping 01/01/2020 1000 Round Case - 300 AAC Blackout Subsonic 200 Grain FMJ Magtech Ammo - $479.60 + $25.00 Shipping Subs with expanding bullets were more obviously.
