    I got to fly fish for the second time this year and it really is addicting. The gift of having to really concentrate; be present and learn is amazing. Nothing like standing in a river all day!

    This is from the cimmarron river outside of eagle nest, NM. Only caught one small brown and this rainbow but can’t beat river therapy.

    I was fishing there about ten years ago.  Relaxing in the River, away from the summer heat, enjoying the serenity of the moment.  I look up and see two bear cubs on the bank.  Then I see mama bear up River (with me in between) I could have tapped her with  a fly cast, and I'm not a great caster. Only time I have ever been scared of a bear in the wild.  Thankfully, mama walked on over to her cubs and paid me no mind.  When I got back to the car my legs were still shaking.

    You’re all good. I’ve been grabbing up some other stuff lately, and have gotten bitten by the shotgun bug as of late.  But the auction sites have accounted for almost the entirety of everything I’ve bought in I don’t know how long. Mostly because I’m very particular on the wood. 

    We seem to be on the same wavelength.  I only need one more rifle, and two or three each for my sons.  But I could by shotguns all the day long

    Perhaps that's doctored or someone applied a filter but I'm guessing he had some type of chemical peel or other dermatology/plastic work on his face.  Or maybe he just overexerted himself by walking from the cart to the tee box.

    At the end of the day, he's an old man. Much older from when he started his run for President in '15.

    I thought at his DC speech he looked like he just had a face peel.  The Lincoln Project needs to run a 30 second spot with that Golf Course photo and ask if he looks fit for office

    It has been entirely too long since somebody said it: Fuck Tim Love 

    Reminds me of the Wolf Brand Chili ad, "that's just too long".  And I love being able to compare Tim Love to a bowl of Wolf Brand Chili

  5. Well Fatty, let me know your preferred auctions so I can get on the other ones and we don't bid up each other.  Seriously, I used Gunbroker a couple of times in the past and was pleased.  It helped that the sellers were close enough that I could do a physical pick up and actually meet the seller.

  6. Any recommendations for a Fort Worth gun store, one that focuses on classic/traditional guns (ie .22 hornet above)?  I am looking to build out my boys gun collection as they grow up.  Specifically looking at mod 70, model 12, Win 101, Browning, etc

    Opened my big fat mouth at a nice gun shop while on an out of state trip.  Lots of vintage shotguns but very few rifles behind the glass.  Guy asked if I wanted to look at anything and I declined - saying I’m focused on old Model 70’s these days.  None displayed-  seemed like a harmless answer. 

    Owner asks me…”Got a pre-64 .22 Hornet?” 

    Sucker me- “Wish like hell I did!”

    Smiling owner- “Wait right here.  I’m your huckleberry.”

    Comes out of the back with a REALLY nice ‘57 standard at 98% +. 

    My last objection was that I couldn’t let my wife see it packed for the ride back- No problem- we’ll ship it and she’ll never know. 

    $500 less than he’d just listed it on line.  
    I’ve made worse decisions and can check that cartridge off the list now.

    Great looking gun!  I haven't looked in a while, what is the market like for pre 64 model 70s these days?

    We got passports for both our kids. Our meeting was 2/18 and we got them today, so a day short of 4 weeks. Pretty damn quick. 

    We basically did the same thing Feb renewal for kids.  Tarrant Co let's you do it in their govmt offices and bureaucrats were nice.  They warned us to expect a 3 month wait but got them in less than a month.  Who knew the govt could underpromise and overdeliver?

    I did the Bonnells curbside meal for the first time yesterday and I don't regret it.  I figured it wouldn't be up to par with his normal stuff because it's cheaper but everything tasted incredible.

    We have done Bonnells curbside and highly recommend.  The food is very good at home and usually enough for two meals.  He also joins supports many local schools through the year so you get to feel good about your purchase

    Lofgren is a lawyer, and has worked in private practice. 

    Schiff is a former Asst. U.S. Attorney

    Raskin is a Harvard Law guy, and was editor of the Law Review, and was a law professor for 25 years.

    Lofgrin is a great bulldog/tush hog.  Deliberately kept off stage tonight, but would love to see her cross ex Trump

    this is really boring and overhyped.  Most of the country doesn't care about topic, I'd say a 3 hour special on inflation would get more eyeballs.  Or a bikini contest. 

    Why aren't you watching foxnews or newsmax?  They are ignoring the hearing and talking about Biden unraveling or selling Ivomec power pills

  12. Spent a week there in June.  Fish Fry is back but at a new location. Las Brisas has truly remodeled but for the good.  We stayed on the Taylor Bay side of Sapodilla, which was great, because Sapodilla has gotten busy.  Silver Deep was great for fishing charter.  My 8 year old also caught a permit on a fly rod in site of Da Conk Shack, which made every dollar spent on the trip worth it
