I got my second Moderna shot a couple of weeks ago. No reaction at all. The first shot kicked my butt, though. The site says if my first shot is worse than the second, that means I probably had Covid at some point, so the first shot acts as the booster. If so, I was asymptomatic, and I hope I didn't...

And after that, I would also shoot a TSS round at close range to make sure it's spot on.

Some folks are booking U-Haul trucks, because they're cheaper.

Gas, rental cars, meat, housing....brace yourselves

NICE! I cooked up some legs and thighs in the wife's Insta-pot just the other night with some chicken bouillon, BBQ seasoning, BBQ sauce, and Dr Pepper. She added some kinda pasta to the leftover broth to make some kinda special soup. I can hear her rattling the spoon in the bowl now.

If an M2 came in a pump (not a Nova), I'd buy one of those, too.

I would have to die sitting against a tree to wait on a bird even half that long. I suppose there are worse places to die.

It does get a little chilly.

I don't think falling asleep and waking up chilled at midnight counts

I'm not going to say that it's never happened...

At the below site, there is an excellent video on how to break it down to replace the hammer and trigger pull springs. I have heard accounts of misfires being attributed to the primer not being fully seated and the first firing attempt pushes it in without ignition which allows it to be fired on th...

Stay out of Montana then.

If I don't have an ex-wife living there, it's fair game.

He's wrong. It was me. That's about the time I started hunting. Sorry about that y'all...

SWEET!!!

NICE!!!

I still laugh at that.
