Used to love hunting with my Grandpa’s 1100. Actually picked up a 20g 1100 a couple of years ago. My 12g 870 was brutal shooting skeet all day.
I was working night shift on tug boats. I stayed up a little later than usual. As I was going to bed, the tv in the galley showed a plane had hit the south tower. Didn’t think much of it; maybe a small plane and an accident. When I woke up that afternoon I had a bunch of missed calls from my girlfriend, asking if anything was happening on the river. No clue what she was talking about. Then I saw the news….
I have ryobi and and mostly happy with them. Drill, driver, multi tool, grinder, trimmer, heat gun, etc have wonderful. The 18v circular was garbage, it could barely cut through a 2x4. The sprayer was also lacking. Everything else has been great.

I loved that book. It was a slow start; but once I got into it, I couldn’t put it down.
Rush Limbaugh brought this up years ago. It will be fun to watch.

I would unplug it and stretch the cord out in the sun. It got to the point where I had to do this after every use. Replacement cable didn’t work. I won’t be getting another dolphin.
I have the mk4 with spectre 22. Great combo. Also works great with my ruger 22 bolt action. Movie quiet.
Got my last one with a stamp delivered from capitol armory. Super easy. But going forward, I’d rather not have any record of me buying them. Hopefully this new ruling sticks.
I’m afraid you’re right. Every time we get a seemingly big win, we usually get an excitingly lose to go with it. I’ll take the win for now.
A close family friend told his wife:
“When I die, don’t you dare sell my guns what I told you I paid for them”.
I’ve met John Bel and Edwin Edwards. I wildly disagree with most of their politics, but both were nice and interesting to chat with. Edwin was definitely showing his age, but still had a ton of charisma. It’s a shame he couldn’t use it for the benefit of the state over himself.

If I remember correctly, they have a two week cycle. Spray/fog/bomb every two weeks for a couple of months. That’s the only way I’ve had any success with fleas. If you have carpet, make sure to vacuum after spraying.

I was having to do that after every use. It got twisted every single time.

I replaced the cord on my explorer e20. Got it from Amazon cause the shipping was supposed to be faster. Mine didn’t work, but it could be something I did wrong. Had mine for a little less than 2 years and the cord started twisting badly. Will consider cordless going forward.
Eat a satchel of Richards. You are not entitled to anything of mine.

Used to go with my dad when I was a kid. As others have said, used to have a lot of surplus rifles. I remember a good bit of WWII rifles. Now, mostly new and gimmicky crap. Not the same any more.
I had lunch with Edwin Edwards in 2018. Definitely showed his age by then, but was still sharp. Too bad he couldn’t use that charm and charisma for the good of the state instead of himself. Didn’t like his politics, but am glad I got to meet him.
