Many years ago when I shot for my CCL, a member of the local PD, who claimed to be a SWAT member was taking the class with his wife, they were shooting beside me, and I guarantee he would have been thrilled with this target...........shooting a Glock of some sort, looked like a 12 gage,00 buck at 50 yards............sad..........

Ive been a licensed engineer designing buildings for 27 years. When it comes to 911, two issues. Physics of the falling towers, which we can ignore, but bldg 7????? I need more forensics on that one. Fire, and molten steel???

Not saying its not possible, because Ive designed and have watched impossible things built, within impossible time frames. The Covid test kit facility in Lenexa KS; a 40mil dollar project designed in three weeks, built in 3.5 months for Thermofisher. Impossible, but we did it.
I'm local to Lenexa........, and retired from the Pharmaceutical manufacturing industry ........I am aware of the Thermofisher facility..............PM me, and let's talk about the Covid test kit thing..........never heard of it.........
 
Ah those traditional Christmas images just warm my heart.

Yesterday was a great day in retirement. A cloudy, damp, dreary 37 degree day here in WI. No reason to stay inside, so I decided to go squirrel hunting. It was quiet, almost surreal, in the woods. The squirrels were not very active, so I snuck around and sat around for about 4-1/2 hours to get the limit. That was the first time in 42 years that I didn't have to be somewhere, or be doing something else, when I went on a squirrel hunt. No time limit, no worries, no thoughts of work...a great day!

That's a day well spent. I like to store some for winter, just like they do to acorns. I'm only a few hours away.... have me over for squirrel-on-a-ritz?
 

Assuming, of course, that "most Americans" know what Communism is, and despise it! They might not, thanks to all the "indoctrination" going on in schools, etc.

I swear, every single kid of age 8+ should be "suffered" to watch this film, so that they know what communism is and can learn quickly to despise it.

And here i had you pegged as a matching Sitka gear kind of guy. 🤣🤣🤣

It's funny how easy it is to spot out of state hunters in CO.

Hey, I have a camo pile jacket! My wife got it at a yard sale for $3 and when I wear it to work, it makes my coworkers nervous.

So I wear it to work all winter long.

------------------------------------------------

I haven't bow hunted in a long time, being lazy and complacent. But when I did, I didn't use camo. I just used the force: "This isn't the bow hunter you're watching for..."
 
I'm positive that you will never, ever forget that moment and that day.
Thank you for posting that.

I am amused that some people on this forum exhibit how little they know about how rifles, scopes and bullets actually work then at the same time, they think they are qualified to offer forensic analysis of the first ever examples of commercial airliners crashing into tall buildings at 500kts.

I am 100% convinced our government is deceptive, coercive, manipulating, self serving and evil.
They in some way are likely complicit or at least negligent in the 9/11 events but people I know that were at the Pentagon and Lower Manhattan leave no doubt that big ass planes full of people were flown into big ass buildings full of people that day.

Problem with that strategy is transmitting signals back to earth. Most radio waves have a tough time passing through solids and liquids. Apparently there’s secret squirrel tech that nuke subs use to transmit while submerged, but i don’t know the first thing about it or the general physics behind radio. I’m dumb as hell.

Jim Creek is within about 15 miles of us. Whidbey NAS is 5 miles as the crow flies in the other direction from us. So, if things get sporty, Im'a gonna be a crispy critter....

Hell yeah, my retirement started last week. Tonight my excited wife decided we need a game night with friends. She retired 18 months ago and has been looking forward to my retirement ever since. I went shooting four times in the last week, it is awesome.

Enjoy your retirement. You're in transition, the months where you adapt to the new normal. Soon you will be burdened with trying to figure out how you ever had the time to have a job. But you will still really, really enjoy retirement.

Congratulations,

Since retiring a long time ago, yes I’m very old, I have either gone shooting, fishing or hunting at least four day out of the week. The best part is you don’t have to go on weekends when places are more crowded. Enjoy your retirement, looks like you’re off to a great start.
