  1. One of my leasemates had one with a can. Daughter (9 at time) shot it a few times and liked it way better than AR so I got one. I grab it all the time now. It’s quite a bit different than what I typically use, but been a cool little rifle for the price point.
  2. I use the ruger version of that setup for my daughter. Been thinking about getting a model 7 done up for her in the same way but with a custom stock, and passing the ruger down to the next one.
  3. We didn’t do it purposely, but had a month where we ate out a ton due to work/kids schedules, etc. At the end we were just tired of going out, so made an effort to not go out the next month. The $$$ saved was staggering. Every meal is $50 (chick fila) to 125$ random sit down Mexican. Just crazy how fast it adds up. We still eat out more than I’d like, but I remember distinctly how crazy the cost had gotten.
  4. I just ran 24/7 for last several days. So far, everything seems to have worked. I'll poke around in the AM but appears to have come out of it OK
  5. No, I would take the 5,000,000. But I’m not at the 40k piece stage yet, either. So, ymmv.
  6. Hell yeah brother...damn EVAP systems. Lost count of how many times I had to do that on one of our Yukons. Yukon/Tahoes put it in the shittiest place ever, and it gets plugged with road debris. Cheap part, not difficult to change, but I finally relocated it and no more issues. When it would go, it would take a half hour to fill the tank. Memories.
  7. We have both. I prefer Sams. But we also have a nice Sams. There’s one next town over that I would never step in again (very poor layout). Sams easier to get in and out of, Costco always slammed.
  8. Went down to the ranch and blew mine out this weekend. Added RV antifreeze to the P-traps, and drained the water heater. This is when she gets a new anode each yeah. I think we’ll be just fine but would rather take the hour to take care of it than chase broken waterlines throughout the thing. Also, got to make a few sits in the blind and drank at least one million beers (it feels like, anyhow).
  9. Interested in reviews on that Pulsar when you’ve got it broken in. I need to put together a night setup at some point.
  10. I’m.calling Cajuns 6.5. Maybe 5.5 but been getting laid ALOT. Either way, mature enough. Thanks @Cajun @deadshank @hornmpa96 for posting the awesome bucks y’all do. I’d love to post along side y’all but we gots 130s and that’s about it.
  11. We get hit every other year or so. Gate blown off the posts and part of a Chevy bumper in the weeds. Have had 2x stolen KR trucks and 1x Chevy. Same road. Same gate entrance. Once was down a easement road thru the high fence. Funny enough, we’ve never had the normal travel (by foot) issues, or the camphouse or trailer broken into. Just vehicle pursuits.
  12. Thomas Johnson. He flipped from us iirc. I believe the spouse committed suicide not long after, as well. Really tragic story.
  13. Posting gifs of radical right wing kids not cool around here, bud.
  14. Yeah a true 300# down there (and lots of other places) is pretty legit. People say it a lot, but actually on the scale. A girl on our place killed a MASSIVE pig this year, wish they would have put it on the scale. Far and away the biggest I had ever seen there.
  15. Yeah. The claim was private schools are "lily fucking white", which isn't true for the good ones. I mean our school district is "lily fucking white" compared to Northshore, and looks like a rainbow coalition when compared against the Woodlands.
  16. lol wut. St. Pius and Strake (among others) are top 20 most diverse. Maybe some shit "private schools" fall that way, but the ones that play school are diverse. Are we talking actual private/prep schools here or middle of the mall shit? https://www.niche.com/k12/search/most-diverse-private-schools/m/houston-metro-area/
  17. Figured you'd be all cried out this week. Wipe those tears away honey, it's all going to be ok.
  18. Refinishing affects purist collector value. But I wouldn’t even think twice. Whether it’s pre-Garcia, spotter, finnbear, deluxe, etc matters much more. But since you’re going to hang onto it forever, irrelevant. There was a time when wood just wouldn’t have the accuracy of fiberglass, but with stabilized stocks, alum bedding, and others, that’s no longer the case. I don’t disagree with Shank that it’s not the “important” part of the equation, but there’s a hell of a difference between holding a gorgeous piece of hand carved wood. I’m sure H&H and Westley Richards could nail the fiberglass thing, but… As far as dents and dings telling a story. Not untrue. But exterior surface rust doesn’t hurt accuracy or function either, and no one not wiping their bluing down after a wet jaunt. Would say that’s just personal preference. I would never fix the dents and dings in the guns my G-G-grandfather passed down. But I’ve certainly fixed the checkering I dinged on one of mine, and had some dents pulled after an unfortunate accident (not mine ) when I let someone check one out for a min. I’m not advocating dragging a Blaser onto a mountain trip, but to and from the blind isn’t that hard to keep them unscathed imo.
  19. Don’t threaten me with a good time. We don’t send enough care packages to our nations most disgraceful, imo.
