It actually may be that using something to kill him in your belly button might be the reason you caught something from him, although it could have just been there for long enough as well. Sometimes if you irritate a tick with heat, poison, etc, they will basically vomit into your blood stream...

I notice this gun is made in my home state of Arkansas, in Berryville. Same place where Wilson Combat is manufactured, I wonder if this one might be made by Wilson?

I'd repair it because it is a nice rifle and looks like a perfectly doable fix.

That is very hard, something I know I can not fully comprehend without children of my own. Prayers for you and your family, God bless you.

I don't know much about permethrin, I'll have to look into it. The problem I usually find with tick protection is that something that is toxic the the little buggers tends to also be toxic to people, it just takes more time for a person to manifest any impact. I never liked deet. Never heard of...

Oh, sorry to hear that. He was a beautiful animal for sure. It's hard to part with old friends. "For lives that passed us by For love and it's last cry For the ones we have left behind For a close friendships end For how this kinship is rent For the ones we won't feel again It is not life...

Just had a tick crawling up my side as I came to sit down at my computer, hah. My mom read somewhere recently that supposedly the U.S. admitted that lyme disease was invented as a bio weapon. I haven't looked into it but I have heard people saying that they believed this to be the case for...

Congrats! That sounds like an excellent Easter present.

Happy Easter, everyone. A few lines from my most recent song that feels relevant to Easter: "I don't know what happens tomorrow, mostly I'm too scared to say. But if You bless that day as You blessed this day, then I will go. I will go." Praise the Lord.

Yeah, my thought looking at the vertical grips is that they wouldn't be as easy to adapt to different positions. Not as versatile. When it comes to ergonomics with any tool I tend towards things that are extremely neutral in nature. I like simple handles on knives most of the time for example...

It seems that there is a move towards more and more vertical grips on newer rifles lately. I imagine this helps keep the hand more relaxed while shooting, but I seem to recall someones comment that they didn't like the carrying dynamics as much with that kind of grip angle. Here are a few...

I just came across these rifles the other day. Browning seems to have a nice line up lately including the BAR. Light! Much lighter than I expected for a bulky looking gun. It would be fun to hear your impressions of it if you get one.

Been so hectic I forgot to give an update here. My mom got back home the next day which was good because the nurses were being punks. She went back to Little Rock after a week to get her nicked bladder checked on and everything looked good, no complications. If something had been amiss, they...

Very nice! I like the look of that a lot.

BIG kitty. Once one of these walked through my old neighborhood, which was an odd sight there, and I still remember my mom's reaction to spotting it walking across the sidewalk out our back window. She kept repeating, "That is not a dog! That is not a dog!" I barely caught sight of it as it...

I have been curious about the idea of making my own canvas backpack for a couple years now so I decided to do some research trying to learn how it is done. It turns out canvas bags in general kind of fascinate me at this point. I want to try my hand at a few different things and decided to start...

Now that sounds fun! Very neat old gun, especially considering it has been passed down in your family.

All the thoughts and prayers are much appreciated. A couple complications have emerged, but we are praying that they remain minimal in impact. The first thing is that during the surgery my mom's bladder got nicked. This certainly makes things less comfortable but will hopefully just heal up with...

Well, after a bit of back and forth on whether she might wait on sugery, my mom went in today and so far everything has gone as well as we could expect. No hiccups during the actual surgery and she will be staying at the hospital for the night to make sure she is good to come home after that. It...

Anything car service related is always sideways in my experience. Sounds like you handled them, he he. Me and my dad do all of our car repairs ourselves because the mechanics we've encountered were incompetent, liars, or incompetent liars. We were replacing some strut bearings in our van but...
