Back in the the day when the sow hogs were birthing you kept them in "confinement" sheds so they didn't kill each others piglets. They were set on barred floors over pits. After the birthing season, those pits had to be cleaned out. Some poor schmuck with a shovel had to get in each one to get the last of it.

Meet "schmuck". d'oh!

Even with sacrificial clothes, at the end of the day my uncle would take me home in the bed of his pickup, and mom would make me strip down in the yard and hose me off before she'd let me back in the house to wash again. And then she burned what ever I had on. I hated hogs. Frying pan


I’ve been around and shoveled a bunch of different animal chit. Pig is the worst. No question.

Danmdeviries... FULL AUTO MAC -11 OWNER??

WHO'da guessed that?

We're you that guy in SCARFACE.... that unloaded the
MAC-11 INTO THAT BIG headed clown guy at the BABYLON Nightclub?


Former FULL AUTO MAC - 11 OWNER.

I didn't have it even a year. Most of that time was waiting on paperwork to go through.

It was fun, but I bought it at a time in my life where I shouldn't have been playing with expensive toys. Several moves, job changes, and starting college as a highschool dropout. Then, finding out one: The gun blows an entire magazine of not-cheap .380 out the barrel almost instantaneously, and two: the closest range doesn't allow full auto.

Alright, now you have me showing how much of a gun nut I am. The pastor of my old church in Boise, back when I was in college, owned a 30 and a50 cal mg. The 50 was a Browning from world war 2. I have to say, my favorite thing that church did was a second amendment day on the 4th of July. One of the guys had a 150 acre ranch, that they would hold it on, we would bbq 2 hogs, deep fry 20 turkeys and a guy would do up 10 briskets. Talk about the best of both worlds, food to die for, and all the rounds you could handle.

Gorilla Cookies plant is chopped and jarred...

Gorilla glue #4 is in week 14 and still going strong! I removed some lower limbs this morning that I'll trim at some point...

Candyland plant is going straight to bubble hash most likely... Smells amazing but looks like garbage... We'll see once it's all trimmed up...

Hoping to harvest enough to last until the may/June harvest....

At this point though, if I'm being honest, it's cheaper to buy outdoor than it is to grow indoor...

There's a retirement plan! Set up a cigar and ammunition shop in AZ right over the line. Drive through window even. Catch em on the way to or from Havasau, Vegas, Reno. Make it a destination. Think

Eye doc and wife keep saying I need bifocals. I just choose glasses that are easy to look over the top or under the lenses. Cant see anything up close with glasses on, cant see my fingers at arms length with glasses off.

Got a PM on the local gun forum, someone wants to buy another gun. Had it listed for about a year now with no bites. Beretta PX4 45. Too big for my hands. Ordered it when they first came out. Thought the rotating barrel lockup seemed interesting. Paid way too much but I've not shot it since the day I bought it so hopefully that gets sold.

My favorite .45 is a PX4 full size with Talon soft grips installed. It's the G model, the safety just drops the hammer and snaps back up into the double action mode. I added the Beretta competition hammer assembly, a nice improvement. I've got a second one that is double action only and has no safety required. PM a price if you're willing to ship, I might be interested in a replacement if the price is right. I've also got the sub-compact in 9mm, that I plane to see, full size in 9mm and .40 S&W.

Making some home made Italian bread.

It's resting for an hour before I roll it, rest it for another 30 mins, and then bake it. Got some nice balsamic vinegar to mix with EVOO to dip it in. Mmmmmmmm.

I've been thinking of making bread.

Don't know why.... just figure it might be interesting.

But the wife doesn't really eat bread, so I'd be left staring at a whole loaf I'd have to eat before it goes stale....

It's pretty simple, and dirt cheap. Flour, salt, yeast and olive oil... and a scrambled egg to egg wash the outside before baking.

Do it.

Is that with a new frame?

After about 6-ish years, my vision changed enough to warrant getting new lenses. Picked out a new frame and with the Progressive lens, UV and Transition coatings, my new pair is gonna cost about that much. Next time I’ll just change the lenses and not buy a new frame.

Yes... that's a whole new set of glasses. I guess the "progressive" lenses have a few different options. That was for the best option.

Wife got new glasses and 12 pair of contacts. I got glasses and 6 pair contacts. I can only wear contacts when I'm doing outdoor stuff all day, cant see a damn thing within arms reach when I'm wearing them.

There goes another $800. I do have a HSA, so it was earmarked money I put aside and not out of my pocket.

I do have the pleasure of submitting that to insurance as well, so should get some reimbursed.

I buy my glasses from Goggles 4 You website. Easy to order, inexpensive, lots of online help in translating your prescription into an order. I need bifocals and get rimless progressive glasses for less than $100, closer to $80, depending on the frames.

Gene, not interested in figuring out how to ship handguns. I know its easy once you've done it a time or two, but it involves a 2 hour round trip drive and only certain people at the UPS hub can/will accept the package. I've looked into it to use gunbroker but it looks like a lot more hassle than I'm willing to deal with.

I hear you, UPS can be a PITA. The easiest way is the USPS, except that pistols have to be shipped by an FFL, anyone can ship a long gun or shotgun though.
