Minneapolis is sort of like Houston, but cold and liberal.

I have to get 15 hours for my area of specialization. It is hard to do in Louisiana and I can't wait until the end of the year to look for credits. I may present in 2026 to get my hours. If I recall correctly, you can get six hours of credit for a one-hour CLE that is presented solo and with written materials.

I recommend Goody's powder and a Zing Zang bloody.

The Howard Leight earphones mentioned above are a very good option that I've used extensively. I have also used the Walker earphones but I don't like the sound quality on those. For the past couple of years I've been using these plugs: LINK With the plugs I do lose some hearing but not so much that it affects my ability to hunt. The plugs are of course easier to wear.

I was given a toy howitzer in the 70s. It had plastic artillery shells that you could load it with.
I hate that twelve yats of Christmas song.

I go to his pro shop in New Roads all the time. Highly recommended.

This seems kind of third world...
I don't recall that song. I do recall the Bitch Better Have My Money song, which was peak Murphy's if you were loaded enough to try to dance up some leg for late-night.
Not really a prank, but a colleague of mine barfed in the CEO's office after getting shite-faced during a non-approved holiday event in the office. I'm not aware that she ever found out about that either.

re: Anyone own a Tristar shotgun

I bought the Viper G2 youth model in 20 gauge for my son. It has been a good gun. A few notes:
- In order to shoot light loads reliably, it must be broken in with two boxes of heavier game loads. No big deal, and it says that in the instructions.
- Ours has been reliable after following the procedure described above. Most of the shells we use are light quail loads and I only buy the cheap stuff. Said another way, it isn't picky about ammunition.
- It is easy to clean, which is good because...
- It does shoot dirty and does need to be cleaned. How often I am not exactly sure, but I clean the gas piston and magazine tube around 200 rounds.
- The gun has surprisingly good "feel;" it is not heavy and overbuilt.
- The safely is where it should be -- behind the trigger. Take note Beretta.
- If you are getting a youth version, get the one that comes with a youth stock and a regular one.
- Since it is a gas gun, it is softer shooting. That's good for kids.

I really like it. I shoot a fancy A400. For my purposes, I honestly believe I would have been just as satisfied with a wood stocked Viper G2.
Not too early. If you do it well, there is another thread that you can post to about how your day went

re: Fishing Bayou St. John?

Unfortunately, no. Sadly, I'm just not much of a fisherman. My son has had some good luck lately with his friends though (real fisherman), so all is well.
The only reason that guy is saying that is because Canada sucks.

Over the past few years I have watched Office Christmas Party. It isn't "the best," but it is pretty funny.
