Now we all know that any "regular outdoorsman" has the wearabouts to know how and where to locate all that stuff. Yes if you shop at Academy and Dunams, they are out of ammo. Hang in there all that stuff will be on FB/CL and Armslist.com and Gunlistings.org hopefully soon. Did I just drop a lead or 2 to investigate?

This is the first "panic" in which I was actually prepared. About a year ago, I decided to get ahead of the election year buying spree. I got stocked up on ammo, reloading components, and the few bullet launchers I thought were needed additions. By time the recent BS started, I was stocked up.

Scrappy is PMCS'ing Mantrucket.


Scrappy during home school lessons. Look closely at the book.

ranger140892, your apocalypse cat might be the last remaining feline if this keeps getting bad. Good looking truck too.

Thanks, SlikWillie! That cat, her two sisters, my obnoxious dog, and my projects, are all that keep me out of the funny white jacket w/ extra long sleeves.

A very good friend of mine sent that book to me. Three of us good friends occasionally send each other weird books. Scrappy enjoys reading them.

It's obvious you're not a cat person, but I still respect you. "He" is a "She". And that woobie is hers. I learned that cats don't have owners. They have Staff. And everything in the house belongs to THEM.

He...She cats a cat. I am a cat person, I actually lay claim to that no good lazy, no mouse catching, hair flinging, bag of fur. I love ol Ms Kitty. Even though she is ALWAYS on the phone. And catfishing on the arm rest.


And then we have grandsons dog (we have been baby setting for 9 years) thinks he is a **** star.

OMG I need a cold beer.

That's a beautiful cat. Calico's are cool. My parents had one that lived 25 years. She was the sweetest thing. I wonder if that's a "black dog thing"...…..

Buck as a puppy, before mom insisted his nutsticles got removed. He always laid like that, but I guess is too embarrassed now.


Ole Buck is old and fat now, so I only ride him in 1st gear now. But he still loves his full speed rides in regular bed pickups.

For the guy contemplating a SC on a reg cab chassis....and a flat bed. Hauling a cab.... is a free bonus to get a size scale of the bed cut down to compensate for the SC on a reg cab frame/running gear.

Thanks, Rich! I needed to visualize it, and that helps a lot. And it's not awkward looking, like I thought it'd be. Crap!

Hooah, nothing like the scent of a ........MKT in the morning. Lol Of course a SC on a long bed frame looks way better. Or the CCSC combo meal.

The SC/CC combo is stupid awesome!

WTF?! You're having to eat out of a MKT? Up the steps, get some SoS, down the other steps. Buncha guys using a HMMWV hood as a dining table. Spittin', cussin', and slingin' Tabasco!
