Prayers for you, I can't imagine what that must be like. As she most rightly believed, this is not the end for those who put their faith in the Lord.

Why does that give me a sinking feeling. I guess most buyouts do.

We grill it on an outdoor propane grill. I did actually bake the chicken in the oven once and it was OK, but it just doesn't have the same effect as grilling.

Gosh, dang it! That is relieving that everyone came out OK. I think the car did good, and God did the rest. Whew.

Nice shed!

That expression on the second photo is classic comedy. "Um, are you filming me?"

My mom said that her dad let her shoot his .45 Colt revolver once when she was a kid, but did not give her fair warning of the recoil. It knocked her onto her but when she shot it. At only 117 lbs. I think that is exactly what that 45-70 would do to me no matter how prepared I tried to be! That...

Ah, good clarification.

Without going into details I know a woman who is a suicide attempt survivor who is still struggling with both the original causes of her choice as well as brain damage from the incident. She went missing for a time recently, and we weren't sure whether she had left the world, but she has been...

I am so sorry. May God bless you during your time of loss. Ah Lord, life isn't easy sometimes, but You give us your eternal promise. May those who grieve find comfort in your love.

Well I said we rarely have big fires where I live, but it has been so hot and dry this year (I haven't noticed any cloud seeding) and we had one 16 miles north of us. I was outside around 6 pm cleaning up after doing some sprinkler repairs when the wind suddenly picked up and I immediately took...

I think mounting the case with it is very clever. I think I'll have to do that if I ever make a mount of anything!

I am inclined to think that cheaper pairs aren't really worth it. I have some electronic Walkers, they aren't horrible, but they aren't great and I absolutely feel you need to use earplugs underneath. At this point I wish I had just gone non-electric to save money for my typical range needs...

If it is taking that much effort to clean out I would certainly shoot it and see how it goes. If it shoots fine, then I wouldn't worry about it. If it has some trouble with accuracy then I would shoot enough rounds through it to know it has had some break in, clean in between any sessions, and...

I have never checked what caliber a 12 gauge barrel comes out as... .71 caliber sounds fun though! :D I feel like I remember people shooting with patched roundballs out of smoothbores but I don't remember anymore. I think it is hard to get great accuracy beyond 50-75 yards without rifling, but...
