I love grilled deer backstraps.I would hate to calculate how much they cost a pound.

“I’ve got 30 other bucks at least that I’ve seen in three days of hunting”

Would you like adopt me ?

I have a passport case I put my I phone in when I’m on my tractor.About $10 from Amazon.

“Glock:the best $300 pistol that $600 can buy”

Might be cheaper than $300.
I can’t find my book about Gaston Glock but it’s a fascinating story.Glock had never owned a firearm in his life when he decided to design a pistol to hopefully sell to the Austrian army.
He bought every brand of pistol he could find,took them apart,determined how they worked,etc.
Designed his own pistol,he was an engineer with extensive experience with polymers,hence the Glock 17.
A big time firearms dealer,sold military weapons all over the world got a G17,was fascinated with it,met with Glock and worked a deal with him to market his pistols.
Glock didn’t realize what he had but the firearms dealer did.Glock was going to sell them significantly cheaper because they were so cheap to manufacture.The FA dealer convinced him to sell them at a significantly higher price because he felt they wouldn’t be taken seriously if they were sold for what Glock was thinking,they would’ve been considered Sat.night special,throw away pistols.

The dealer did a stellar job promoting the G17 all over the world.The FA dealer dropped all his other weapons and promoted Glocks only.The rest is history.

Glock turned out to be a real A-hole.He got perturbed that the dealer was making so much money on commission(he became a millionaire).
He revoked the contract because”he didn’t design the pistol to make the FA dealer a millionaire”.(Glock himself became a billionaire).
Thing is if it hadn’t been for the dealer Glock likely would never have been as successful as he was.

Side story- I remember when Glocks hit the market.Dumbass news media was having a major meltdown over the “plastic” pistol.Airplane hijackings were the thing then and the media was just sure Glocks wouldn’t be detectable with metal detectors or X-rays.

I’ve let a lot of nice 2 1/2 y.o.bucks walk,some 8-9 pts.Never saw them again.
My property is 300 acres and I’m the only one that hunts it.I think 300 acres is just not enough land to manage for bucks.

I knew a man,was 56,that got a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s from his Dr.
Went home and shot himself in the head.

I can see the value of an electric car as a 2nd for around town and short trips.
For road trips,I want gas or hybrid.
We have a Prius for wife to go to work,50 miles round trip,gets 60 mpg.
Have a Highlander for trips,went to Florida,1000 miles-got 35 mpg.
For a truck I have a Ridgeline,gets about 23 mpg.

My parents had a rule-eat it without an arse whipping or eat it with an arse whipping,our choice.
As adults,me and my sisters eat almost everything.

That’s interesting about the Brussel Sprouts.As a kid they were the thing I hated the worst,they literally gagged me but I choked them down.
The hospital cafeteria where I worked had Brussels sprouts occasionally.
One day I decided I would try them,they were actually good.That was the first time in probably 30 years I had eaten them.
I had no idea about the genetically modified thing.

My stepson has one with a plastic hopper.It works well.I thought he would have trouble with it turning over but he hasn’t.I think you have to go slower than a 3 pt tractor spreader.

“The GOAT”

Very true,I used to watch him every night”.
