Worked 10+ years at a job I didn't care ten cents about.....but it paid well enough to raise a family and buy a home.
Been on disability since 2005.
A little more money would make me a little happier, but we're doing OK.
I can't complain.
Car wreck in 1991.
Hip finally gave up the ghost in 2005.
In 2015, the surgeon who did the surgery was retiring and was at my last checkup.
He told me the implant he used on me was developed by a Dr. McBride in OKC.
Dr. McBride used the implant in a young lady in 1958. In 2015, the lady was...
Sad to hear. I bought several AP items (pieces, parts) probably 15 years ago. The products were great and customer service superb. Shipping was reprehensible! ....but I believe it was beyond their control.
I live in OK.
Delivery from AP normally took almost 2 weeks after it traveled all over...
Anything that has the BHA attached to it is always a bit suspect in my book.
At my age and physical condition, I'm doing good to walk across my yard, much less strap on a backpack and wander off into the great out yonder.
Though I've never been affected by the "Corner Crossing" debacle, I have...
IF you have the time, go set up pre-season, before daylight and listen for turkeys gobbling off the roost.
NOTE: You don't want to set up UNDER a roost!
I did!
One time!
First gobble rattled me at it's proximity!
Next!
It started "raining" turkeys!
I was scared witless to breathe, much less...
Many moons back, I bought a Knight & Hale call at WalMart. This little "Gobbler Guide" was included.
Thinking most of these "guides" are just so much flap-doodle, I sat down and read it.
WOW!
So much that I had seen was explained and what I couldn't understand was revealed.
I called Knight &...
I suppose "lost" is a relative term.
I can show you some country in east Texas that will give you chills.
It's not that it's so far from a road, but the underbrush and briar thickets make passage difficult. No topographical features to navigate with. I guess you'd call it "dead reckoning". (?)...
Had a 110# Rotweiller. Dude was a teddy bear. Don't think there was a mean bone in his body!
BUT....I did see him go "primal" a couple of times!
No way would I have taken him on!
I'm sure Ron fed the pig just fine. i.e., it didn't go hungry.
BUT....he probably just fed it some "grower" ration and went on.
If he had given it some basic doctoring*, it probably would have done much better.
* - worming, etc...
P.S. - I've heard otherwise, but I have NEVER killed a "fat"...
Guy I knew was given a small (40lb?) sow out of a trap.
He thought he'd feed her up and have a fat pig for 4th of July.
Ten weeks later, he had a $75 bill at the feed store and a scrawny hog for the 4th!
She just WOULD NOT fatten up!
Bought a nephew one of those.
It would NOT put two shots in the same county, much less on the same target!
Sent it back. They "accurized" it, according to them.
Best it would do was about a 2.5" group at a hundred yards.
Won't argue the alcohol part, but this thread was more about marijuana.
Alcohol can be a number of things. Beer, liquor or wine. ALL alcoholic!
You use the term "weed"! THC is a mind altering compound that interferes with cognitive function, I don't give two hoots in hell WHO you are, it's the...
Can I cite sources?
Of course!
ME!
It is simple math!
Double the number of impaired* drivers and the number of fatal highway incidents increases exponentially!
Simple enough for you?
* - I'm certain that there were already a multitude of highway deaths that could already be attributed to...
I find it amusing that when you step on someone's toes, they immediately request "more information"!
"... The percent of crash deaths involving cannabis more than doubled from 9 percent in 2000 to 21.5 percent in 2018, and the percent of deaths involving cannabis and alcohol also more than...
I quit smoking because it was effing killing me!
Couldn't taste good food.
Couldn't breathe!
Always stunk of cig smoke.
Yellow teeth, vile breathe, and stained mustache.
Always having to leave an activity to smoke.
Expensive as hell.
High blood pressure and other detrimental health hazards...
