Means we'll have to pay sales tax on Amazon orders.

Got my brakes done! Something sounds like its scraping as i drive, but ill just see if it goes away as the brakes wear in. Other than that with a completely bled system and 2 new calipers, plus pads/rotors stopping is excellent




I also just went to cabelas...didnt buy anything but i picked up a half dozen apple cider donuts

Were the donuts fresh, Miles? The last few times I have been I was disappointed because they had been sitting awhile. Still delicious, but just not the same as hot off the iron. Did you notice any big sales going on with bow stuff?

Did not see any sales over there, we were looking for ammo but after not finding any we just walked around

Yeah, as far as ammo goes, I think it's about time to start loading my own. It's even hard to find 12Ga shells.

Good morning Andy.

It's BEEN hard to get ammo.
Hard to get primers too.
My RL-550B has been sitting quite a bit due to my lack of range time and a shoulder that cannot handle any kind of recoil.
.22 LR and .30 carbine for me...

Evening guys.

It is a short week for me coming up.
On Thursday I head off to cub scout camp with my older boy for 4 days.
I am really looking forward to it and taking a few days off.
