350 legend should be in the mix for light recoil as well.

Yup, was a compression fracture from soccer. Also tore my meniscus with it. Required surgery to repair the meniscus but the real pain in the arse was being on crutches for 12 weeks.

re: Trijicon rmr type 2 vs Holosun 508t elite

Posted by purpleguy2 on 12/13/23 at 9:18 pm to Lucky_Stryke

I run the holosun 407k x2 in green on my hellcat and can not speak highly enough on it. Battery lasted a week short of a year on constant on, I also have it set on the dot and reticle. Father in law is the range officer for one of the local sheriffs offices and has tested every brand dot you can think of on the Glock platform and still decided to use the holosun 407k x2.

I have a 350 legend, 450 bushmaster, 6.5 creedmore and 6.5 Grendel all built on ar platforms. It is incredibly easy and loads of fun to build and ar platform rifle.

Big fan of normandy knives. I had an issue with my first order being the wrong color from what I ordered. I messaged them and got a response from the owner in under and hour. Not only that he sent me the original wrong color, black, and let me keep it for no charge but sent me the right one, od green. I'll be a customer for life just based off of that interaction and their lifetime warranty

Odds were +1000 two weeks before the season. I put $50 on him to win and almost cashed out at half during the Bama game, glad I was talked out of it.

re: Collision repair in Lafayette

Posted by purpleguy2 on 10/30/23 at 9:40 pm to Got Blaze

I second C&R collision, right near north side high. Hit a deer and with how much they were fixing I asked if they would color match my bumper instead of chrome. When I went to pick it up it was chrome and I was a little disappointed and said something along the lines of, damn they did it chrome. The manager looked at his notes, pulled the keys out his pocket and tossed them to a worker and told him to get it done. Picked it up two days later color matched, definitely not something they had to do but I’ll bring any car there from now on.

iPhones have noise machine sounds built in. Newborn baby has a hatch sound machine and now anytime we turn it on I have about 10 minutes before I fall asleep.

my BRN is hands down my favorite rifle in my collection. I have ak's and the BRN is just more fun to shoot no questions asked.

re: Anyone ever had experience with Placenta Insufficiency or Absent end flow?

Posted by purpleguy2 on 6/8/23 at 10:01 pm to AUcs13

My wife is a NICU nurse and has more stories then I can count of babies she has taken care of that were well under 1lb at birth. All went on to quickly put on weight and go on to lead happy healthy lives. We get pictures weekly of babies she has taken care of celebrating another milestone or birthday or preschool graduation. Its scary to hear about a condition like this, but the good news is that your little one is already past the 24 week milestone and is a viable pregnancy and well above weight we hear regularly hear from NICU nurses. Now that they have identified the problem treatment progresses fairly quickly and then tend to put on weight fairly steadily.

From a quick conversation with my wife she said that a 9lb baby at 40 weeks probably is less than likely but a very healthy 5.5 to 7lb baby is more likely than not.

If he doesn't mind getting dirty plumbing is the way to go! Most plumbers end up owning their own business within 10 years and I've never met a plumber that didnt have an awesome house and drive a nice truck.

re: Driving from Denver to North Texas- Best Route? (Update Pg 4)

Posted by purpleguy2 on 3/18/23 at 12:33 pm to Paul Allen

Currently living in CO Springs and make this drive back to Lafayette fairly regularly. Option 1 is definitely the correct choice and takes about 16 hours driving straight through. Typically if I fill up as I'm leaving CO Springs I only need to stop twice. First stop just south of Amarillo in Claude and then again at Buccees on the east side of Dallas in Terrell.
