Better then me, I use luck of the draw, and sometimes my toyo tires on my truck! They have learned to bolt when my truck starts up though, and its a diesel so I let it warm up for a minute before I give er. (that gas 4x4 project Im building cant get built fast enough haha!)

Lisa thats a very creative way to make a jack o lantern! Looks like alot of fun though!

I was up just about all night,w as not a fun night. I ate a grilled cheese and had some soup just now, and im starting to feel a little better. I had zero of anything in my body and was starting to feel pretty weak from that, dont feel too bad now.

Also a great idea taping the dogs barking. I dont know if my dog scares them or attracts them, but I should give that a shot.

I also need a new gun. My old coyote gun (old semi auto .22 cooey) has seen way better days, and the clip doesnt work right anymore. Least it shoot straight still!

I thought about that. I might try it. I'll try anything now. I've had an old hunting guide out here and he said they are the most ballsy, smartest ones he's ever seen. 'Good luck' he says and leaves...

I've been using a 12 gauge with 9 pellet, 00 buck shot

It was a fun day out on the range Sheldon. Nice to shoot at something other than a target. Are you going to go get that RCBS setup?

I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

Lets play hookie and meet up in Vegas.

I've heard/seen great prices on Westinghouse but that's about it... nothing bad about longevity, but I've known many many people with LG's & Samsungs that love them and I personally have a 3 year old 40" Samsung 720p LCD that still works great. Hopefully with you only 2 days outside the warranty they'll flex a little and fix it for you. Not doing so would be a sure way to get me to never buy that brand again.

I went & helped my buddy winterize his boat today. Basic cleaning and minor repairs. Plus he decided to pull the non-working hot water heater out & junk it. That thing was HEAVY for it's size! It was pretty funny to shotput it off the side of the boat and watch it get mashed up. Of course, I had to jump down and chuck it around a few more times, just for good measure!!

How's everyone doing this evening?

I was thinking about it, I dont really have enough guns to make it worthwhile, but I was thinking about changing that too.

Sounds like fun! Doing well. Just went out for a bit for some battery R&R. I've been needing to replace those battery cables/connections for years, I just keep on reviving them.

Who else would I be talking to?

I do think it would be a blast to do a RRW in Vegas. Oh the trouble we'd all get into!

Rule #1 Sheldon, you can never have too many guns.

I had a Samsung cell phone once, and I gotta say, it was an excellent phone. Lasted forever. I still have it, still worked great but decided to upgrade to a smartphone.

I can't even sleep for 12 hours a night unless I've been really sleep deprived. Kinda like I am now! Oh well.

Idk why my body decided it needed to wake up at 5 or 10 of seven but lately I can't sleep past 7. Oh well I guess this means I'm a morning person now?

GOOD EVENING GANG! How is everybody?

Wild past couple of weekends. Been helping Tammie fix up the Police Chief's office. Man, it looks a lot better. Had to completely do the network. They were on an unsecure wireless. It is totally hardwired now. No security breeches that way. They have to get past a firewall, then the router and then another firewall. Well, the Chief turns it off when he leaves so it makes his computer much more secure.
