I have my Father-in-Law's 870. It's beautiful and in great shape. It's already been assigned to his great-great-grandson.

I think it's supposed to start with a 'Y', isn't it ? My dad was born in Oklahoma, and raised in Texas, along with his brothers. I've got relatives spread all over the area. I never heard all of the sides to the story, but they can't have family reunions during football season.

I love Arkansas. Great people. I was actually the owner of 100 acres in Arkansas for awhile. I even remember it.Two ponds. My grandfather lived there.... Y'all do talk funny, though....

Worked it ? I think i broke it ! And it was tough.

Now you got me thinking..... I just inherited a couple of black powder pistols. I know the .30 Cal rifle was from the late teens and the 30-30 was from the late twenties. I was just going to put them in a shadow-box, but I'm more curious now that I've had time to think about it....

Like I said, many fires around here started with "controlled burns" that got out of control and they're not actually widely used. For the reasons I brought up earlier.

Beer. It's not just for breakfast anymore. And alcohol kills your brain cells. But only the weak ones. Actually, i can't drink anymore. I don't have a complete pancreas and I have to take care of what's left. Otherwise. I'd be worse.

Oh. I should listen to someone who left SOCAL ? I can't even visit there. Congratulations. I basically stopped and skimmed from the first paragraph. Your experts to counter what you think is going to enlighten me is exactly what I ALREADY said. Try to keep up. And you need a "forestry expert"...

Have you been told that "that's who you voted for" yet ? I'd be pist, too.

I hate it when you guys make me defend this f'd up state. I'm trying to get out of here.

I can't speak to what they've done in the LA área for prevention. It seems like their idea of clearing an area was to build a house on it. But when the fires swept through here, wind was already howling and fire was blowing embers hundreds of yards. Vineyard are natural firebreaks on the...

I have spent decades hiking IN the forests here, talking to LOCAL forestry experts and forest rangers, talking to my brother-in-law (a local dept. chief, who had 100 feet of defensible space between his vineyard and his house, which is actually a fire break, and still had blistering on his...

This forest clearing concept cracks me up. Some people have no idea. California's forests are about a third of the states acreage. It's an area about the size of the whole state of New York, 40% of which is privately owned. If I recall, the way forest areas are (what others call) "cleared" in...

All these fires are 500 miles from me, but we went through the Napa Valley fires and power and cell towers went down for several days. We were fine but I couldn't call my mom and the roads to her house were closed. Finding out she was OK was like I could finally breathe after holding my...

Sometimes it's easier for me just to not go someplace if it makes me think I'll need a gun, but I tend to avoid people anyway. Maybe it's just an excuse for me to not go out

Our F250 rides alot better with weight in the bed. Not like the Marauder, but better than an empty F250. Nice truck. Did your F150 have the 5.0 ? Kind of a shock to see how much extra real-estate that turbo plumbing uses

Sounds like it's a matter of the limits of perception, the breadth of perspective, interpreted through the degrees of values, And that's OK. Looking at things from the outside looking in certainly limits the scope and range of perception and knowledge, compared to seeing things from the inside...

Thanks for the well wishes. And I'm sorry. My post didn't come out right (imagine that). I was trying to say that because of the accidental and early discovery I'm really lucky. I'll be OK. Everything is better than anybody expected. I'm just being closely monitored (MRI four times a...

I was just making a point using someone else's logic. Not mine. I was just drawing parallels. Good weather, beautiful country, crazy people, etc. Guys, I hate it when people overall generalize and I have to point out their specific errors. It makes me sound like I'm defending this f'd up...

You're missing the point. I did not choose to vote for the the simpletoned vision-impaired idiots you say i chose to vote for. (Sorry for my reaction to what I would normally claim was a no-class insult) It might be difficult to understand if you PERSONALLY voted for biden. But I doubt you...
