If your daughter is recoil sensitive consider a suppressor. My granddaughter just turned 12 and she's shot a 308 the last couple of years and stacks up deer and hogs on our place like cordwood. Her gun (Ruger American) has a suppressor and she shoots full power 150 gr. loads. She started with a 300BO with suppressor (same one) when she was 7, and while she killed everything she shot at we upgraded after it took about 6 hours to locate a very nice buck she shot in the lungs that just didn't leave much of a blood trail.

Sad news, indeed. He was a solid player for the Tigers.

My heart goes out to you and his whole family. God bless you.
I'm assuming Coutler's Law is in effect for your description of the offenders. Correct?

Amazon such turds for banning this, where else can it be watched?
I think perhaps the OP was referring to the film being banned in France and Germany? It's still available on Amazon Prime to buy or rent. Plus as alluded in other posts it's available on X. Elon Musk among others posted it for anyone to view.
Pricing looks like it just got fixed. It still showed $19.99 for the boot but after putting it in the cart and going to checkout it shows as $119.99.

I hope they honor the pricing for those of you who got in orders already.

It was canceled after 2 seasons and fans got up in arms and CBS brought it back and kind of closed the loop of the story.

Was there a third season? I only see 2 available to stream. I started watching it but stopped only a few episodes in because I saw it was cancelled before wrapping up the story.

re: 2013 F-150 3.5 Ecoboost question??

I have the exact same truck with way more miles that did the same thing around the same mileage.

Coils. Try replacing those. Mine would sometimes throw a code for one or two coils and sometimes not. Once I replaced them all and quit chasing a single coil it never did it again.


All of this applies to mine - also a 2013 F-150 Ecoboost with now 270k miles. Other than normal stuff the only thing I've replaced were the coils - twice. In both cases it was only one that was faulty but just decided to replace them all.
Our church has a safety team to address all sorts of issues that might arise, including “disruptions”. We just went through almost this exact scenario at our meeting yesterday.

According to a podcast I was listening to the new version of Al Qaeda is planning multiwave attacks where they send in a few gunmen, wait for medical staff to respond then hit the medical staff with a fresh wave of attacks and bombs to trigger panic and limit future responses.


The Kingdom from 2007 is a solid action flick with a great closing scene. The scenario above is the opening. It's been out long enough to not apologize for the spoilers.
I have zero personal experience. But FWIW (not much), I am negotiating with a wealthy (to put it mildly) Saudi Arabian family to set up a business in Dammam. The patriarch has gone to great lengths telling me how much he loves his Genesis. And no, he wasn't trying to sell me his or trolling me. This guy has a stable of top tier luxury rigs just because he can. He contrasted and compared each with his beloved Genesis and says he prefers it over any of the others.

Day ain't over, yet.

Many early retirees are probably taking full advantage of the ACA marketplace until Medicare kicks in at 65

I retired at 59. After looking at options I went with one of the Christian based insurance programs primarily to protect against catastrophic situations but paid for most everything out of pocket. While I’m in good health, my wife has a number of issues and sees several specialists regularly. Even with that my total annual outlay was considerably less than if I’d have used one of the ACA promoted programs.
I don't have experience with any clones but on our ranch we've gotten away from buying any new Stihl saws after having reliability issues with them. I don't have any Huskies so can't comment.

We've gone to Echo over the last few years and are happy with them so far. The rationale was that even if reliability was no better at least I was paying less but so far we haven't had any issues. We're not doing any logging by any stretch but they get used a lot as we're clearing downed timber routinely and cutting firewood for cool weather.
Aren’t sugar beets a viable alternative? They grow across a wider range of climates and are, I think, less labor intensive.

The first time I went down to south Texas around Pecos I was shocked to see what I quickly figured out were diversion barriers to channel flash flood waters. It's hard to imagine when seeing the terrain the conditions it takes to make something like that necessary.
