Exactly, my kids were pretty stunned when winter came that first year. I told them to quit crying, “there’s an entire country north of here”. I’m not so sure I could do summer down there. I’m a big ol’ gringo built for comfort not speed.

Strangely I have quit using cash for daily expenses while at the same time keeping much more currency for emergency use. Went on a CO hunting trip with a group. The country had some sort of financial emergency and all the cards were locked down. For some reason I had decided to take cash...

I’m probably sweating more. I’m perhaps not moving as much snow. Moving from Il to MN a couple decades ago means I’m used to warmer climates than the typical Minnesotan. I try to reassure them that life will go on without -25 degree weeks and 95 degrees while horrible is not the he’ll they fear.

I read these things and I’m left with this. I don’t talk to anyone now, who am I concerned with communicating with if things get sideways? I already have trust issues. Can I trust the short wave any more than regular broadcast news? I was raised and I raised my kids to be pretty self reliant...

Warning shots? Gentlemanly thing to do.

Big hail, sloughs on fire, and multiple tornadoes. This morning woke up to find some snow on the roofs. Turned the furnace back on Friday, Im guessing it’ll be A/C by Wednesday.

South of I-64 there will be no questions about the “damn yankee” line having been crossed. The avatar says it all 😎

Gotta wonder if only adults are included in the counting. Not sure my kids would include themselves as owners, which implies buying said gun. Except for the youngest who readily claimed 2 pistols upon firing them, “did you bring my SIG? where’s my .22?”.

I put one of those back on the counter, knowing I shouldn’t. One of the dumber things I’ve done, I can’t take my wife shopping she acts like the kids will be starving.

Report it as road rage. “I must have done something to enrage this person who is clearly following me, I’m scared for my life”. It might be the honest truth, crazy is everywhere.

It looks like a good way to get a serious beat down.

Me? Go downtown and file a report, explain your concerns. Yours might not be the straw but it might be the one that does break the camels back. My white bread neighborhood has had two drug dealers arrested in the past 6-8 years the last being 5 months ago. Same story, far too many friends...

I’m of the opinion that were it a flaw the number of unintended discharges would off the charts. It’s of no concern to me, I have that sort of weapon covered and it gets no use.

Student loan, in the words of Dorothy “what would you do with a brain if you had one?”. Turns out I’d drive a truck.

This came home. I ordered a pair, but talked my buddy into adopting the twin sister. Cleaned its MK III cousin complete with a solid 10 minute struggle to reassemble. This was to familiarize myself with why I detested using it as a suppressor host. The new MKIV 22/45 was stripped rinsed oiled...

Let us know where you settle out. I’ve got a good Unique load, but I’ve about taken the cure due to spotty availability for what seems a decade now.

Granted I left about 30 years ago, but it was always my opinion I-64 was a more appropriate delineation of damn yankee incursions, I could agree to I-70 even. I-80 is a stretch they don’t even know what grits are, let alone eat them. 😂😂

Sorta an aluminum guy. But, I’ve been dallying with polymer and I’m okay with that, striker fire however I simply can’t get the appeal.

Worked a couple races long ago. Made me lust over a Husky pretty badly. Unfortunately I had to eat back then and pay college tuition. Both seamed important at the time. 🤷

what is it the kids are saying? “Tell me you don’t need a car without saying you don’t need a car”. As a second vehicle I believe you can make it work, for most households. I just can’t see paying the bills on what amounts to a green talisman.
