Lame to hear what has become of the NRA, but it sounds like you have done your research, taken it for what it is, and taken appropriate action. Hopefully many people are realizing the same.

I forgot the really good news! We got a new roof! So it is pretty rainy out here, we knew the roof had sustained damage, and it was pouring down rain like I have never seen before. We checked for leaks and found one, so we spent the next three hours maneuvering what we needed into the attic to...

Well, we have proven we can do one section. There are about twelve more, some of which are going to be quite difficult to get material to. Everything has to go through a hole in the wall only about 2x3 feet in size, then it has to be moved about 100 feet through a crawl space about 3 feet tall...

There is indeed no good middle ground, this party split has been a problem since the founding of the U.S.. Some of our first politicians such as Patrick Henry and John Adams were rather disgruntled by the effect that the two party situation had on the country. The problem is in our voting...

I can say that I have shared your emotions on a very deep level, so I understand what you are saying. This is what I felt like a couple years or so ago, but my reaction to the current desperate circumstances has changed over these last few years, and I believe it has changed for the better...

I don't know if Christianity is growing, shrinking, or staying the same, I don't think God intended me to know or worry about such a thing, but what I have found heartening all the same in the midst of trying times is that I am seeing people who once had no conviction come face to face with...

Sharpening is a hobby of mine, I am a little obsessive, so sometimes I get frustrated when things don't turn out the way I want, but it is something I am passionate about and have lots of fun with. I have an absolute fascination with edged tools and hope to be able to make knives one day, as...

It's funny you bring up Holland's software, I hadn't looked into it in depth, but Holland is one of my gunsmithing instructors.:)

If I remember correctly, one of the advantages of MIL is that it can be fairly easily used to estimate the distance to a target of a known size by measuring the apparent size of the object with the reticles markings. It might be able to be done with MOA as well, but a metric measurement makes it...

I have been cooking a lot more ever since my family moved out of the exploding city to a smaller town. There's not as many restaurants and many of us have health issues that don't need to be aggravated by fast food anyway, plus it is actually possible to get to the grocery store out here, it's...

What the motivation is tends to tell me what the probable truth is. Doctors and nurses saw people murdered, then were told to keep their mouths shut. Now they're being fired for speaking up. If nobody was ever murdered, they would have no good reason to risk their jobs saying it, especially if...

"A people without a history have no future." I like that. If you aren't quoting someone else, I think I will be quoting you on that one when the moments occasion themselves. I have been saying for years that the problem I see with the way most of our young people are growing up, is that they...

Thanks everybody, I really appreciate the support and encouragement.

Well I moved almost a couple years ago and am finding that the house I moved into has foundation issues. We quite simply don't have the money to pay what professionals are asking to fix it, not to mention they couldn't find the actual problem, we had to find and diagnose they issue ourselves, so...

I got a sharpening stone holder and a little Dexter paring knife. It won't be ready for some time still, but I also got a custom kitchen knife on order that I am very excited about!

Merry belated Christmas folks! My family had a great day and still get to look forward to a two week vacation come new year!

Ha! I love it!

Well PJ that would be great if you were right on all points. I am not fully convinced of any particular opinion yet, but regardless of what is going on precisely, this has started happening so frequently in places that don't typically see it that it makes me wonder what changed or why there is...

Here is the picture of what eventually spread almost uniformly across the sky.

I had posted earlier on this subject but deleted it, not because it was terribly off beat but just because it was a somewhat reactionary post to something that ticked me off to learn about. I looked into it a bit more and it is sometimes called "cloud seeding." Basically someone is dumping...
