Woof

AR-15 are not automatic rifles. Crazy how many here think the guns they use in game play are the same. You have to have a "Federal License" to own a fully auto weapon. That application is very involved (I know). Maybe the current BTF application needs to be as vigorous as the "fully auto" application. And if guns suck why do you play war games ? Its a legitimate question, so dont attack my ass for asking.

Unfortunately there is a stigma with the AR-15. AR does not stand for "Assault Rifle". It stands for Armalite Rifle. Armalite is the original manufacturer. While AR-15's made today look like the "Military M4" variant, they are quite different. People should research it and not just make unfounded accusations. The civilian AR15 is not a weapon of war. If you try and make that case, any semi-automatic rifle (which a good majority are) would be a weapon of war. The M4 variant was designed for easy transport. It is the preferred gun of choice for "Farmers and Ranchers" for critter control. And its compact design vs the standard AR15 (the m16 look) or any full sized rifle made it popular. And any rifle made today can be modified with after market parts to make it compact. And the AR-15 is not a good choice for "personal protection" at home. A short barrel pump shot gun is the preferred choice for me.

I dont think Krunch is saying this was staged. Just ignorant to even think so. But I think he is referencing the political part of this. Unfortunately our current administration (last night) has made it a political issue to further their gun control measures. Happens every time there is a mass shooting. And Biden confirmed this in his address to the nation last night. This issue has been going on for DECADES. Even if they reinstate the "Assault Rifle" ban, which limited magazine capacity to 10 rounds, required a fixed stock. and a pinned flash suppressor. Owners can buy surplus hi-capacity magazines, replace the fixed stock, and do other modifications. Biden should have respectfully said "our prayers are with all effected" and left it at that. To me that was very disrespectful. There is time for elected politicians' to debate these issues and now is not the time.

I had to have a kidney stone removed this past January. It got stuck and for two days I was in excruciating pain. Finally they decided to remove it MANUALLY !! Not fun. Anyway they gave me all the good drugs and the only thing that helped was a combo of Morphine and Vicodin. Hell they even gave me Fentanyl and that didn't even touch the pain. But the Morphine/Vicodin combo I must have a high tolerance to these drugs. Must have been all the Quaaludes I ate as a teen But glad your home and doing fine.

Thats cool looking. Looks like a damn Locust !!!! Wait.... maybe "Drones" are what John saw as "Locusts" in The Book of Revelations !!!! Food for thought !!!

So Sad !!! We are loosing many long standing members !!! Prayers to his family. See you in the next life Star !!!

Played with Nancy for years over at OFS !! And here !! Damn we are getting OLD !!!

I shoot them out of the sky !!!!! I use to fly RC Airplanes and at that time. In the late 1990's. Shit was hard to fly back then. Just like flying an actual plane or helicopter. I spent more time on repairs then flying !!! Now the "gyro's" keep it stable. A child can fly them. Stay away from wooded areas !! Easy to loose radio signal and next thing you know, your $1,000 drone is a squirrel toy.

Isn't that the truth !!!!

EDM's are a godsend too for broken taps and drills. We had two where I retired from. One was from the 70's and the other we had was from the late 90's. Funny everyone hated the new one and loved the old one. I worked in the Aerospace industry for 30 years as a machinist / hand fabricator and those machines were always in use. We also had drill/tap extractors which were hit or miss with getting a broken tap/drill out. They had two or four small steel posts that extended into the flutes of the drill or tap and you backed it out. Would not work on "spiral taps" though.

"Easy Outs" are a mechanics best friend. Lord knows they saved me a lot of headaches throughout the years.

My cousin with Glowstik Willy performing some Holiday cheer. My cousin Chris is the one singing. Santa !! Kids pretty good.

This is Paul Harvey, Good Day !!!

Sorry. But Bob Dylan sucks !!!

I had to upgrade 3 of our office computers from 7pro to 10pro. Everything went smoothly. I still have several pc's with 7pro, due to legacy VST's apps I use to create music. Those I will leave at 7 till I have no choice. Staying away from 11 till, again, I am forced to do so. But 10 went really smooth during the upgrade.

Decriminalization just passed the House. I guess we will see where this goes in the Senate. Makes no difference to me, I have my med card. But to be able to grow your own "legally" !!! Thats a game changer.

Ambulance vs Amblance. Antenna vs Antanna. Push vs Poosh.

Ohhh !! A Hillbilly !!! Im a Buckeye !! Neighbors !! I worked for years with a bunch of people from Paintsville, KY. We use to joke, they all came up in a Greyhound Bus and were dropped off in our home town. Many went back to KY after retiring !! Back to the "Holler" !!!! Well "Hollow" for us Buckeyes !!!

Our lot has clay. Had to truck in dirt for garden and wifes flower beds first year after building, 38 years ago. Need to get the garden going again. Been years since we planted one. But we still do the flowers. Well the wife does. She loves dirt therapy !! Me, not so much.

Be sure to take a shovel with you when you look at lots. Dig several spots throughout the plot to see what the soil is like. Hate to see you buy 25 acres of clay !!!! Fuckin land around here is getting crazy expensive.

Watch it in slow motion. Staged.

STAGED !!!

In my day. IT workers were "Independent Transmission" store owners !!!

Sure is a shit ton of IT people !!!!
