  1. 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).
  2. Interested in reviews on that Pulsar when you’ve got it broken in. I need to put together a night setup at some point.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. It’s actually pretty cool, having a coach someone wants and not coach Prime!!1!!
  6. Thomas Johnson. He flipped from us iirc. I believe the spouse committed suicide not long after, as well. Really tragic story.
  7. Can you do Tennessee now?
  8. Posting gifs of radical right wing kids not cool around here, bud.
  9. The 1st cousin of hyperbole.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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/
  13. Figured you'd be all cried out this week. Wipe those tears away honey, it's all going to be ok.
  14. 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.
  15. Don’t threaten me with a good time. We don’t send enough care packages to our nations most disgraceful, imo.
  16. They should have murdered him after he held a gun to a pregnant woman’s belly, while robbing and assaulting her years before. Lasted far too long on this earth, and I hope they didn’t bury him in a sweater. I saw someone had mailed a bag of dog shit to Babbitts family, as her remains. I’m sad that didn’t happen to that POS.
  17. That really sucks to hear. I’ve only bought a few “new” bolt actions in the last 20 years, but have stacked the safe with Weatherby, Sako, and Winchesters from the 50’s and 60’s. Every one of them, to the rifle, has absolute silky actions. I haven’t found the perfect load for each of them, but the ones I’ve worked up have all been shooters (sub MOA 5 shot groups) Some love regular old core lokt and power points, some needed something more bespoke, but that happens with off the shelf rifles, too. Such is the pursuit of one jagged hole. My 70’s have been the most difficult, for sure. 1 MOA for them is the goal *several had already had blueprint and barrel work done. My opinion, and it’s only worth what you’re paying for it, lose the break. Get a can, get a really good pad, hell wear one of the gel pads. A proper fitting stock goes a long way. I’ve always been a bit recoil adverse, but I don’t really get bothered until a bit past a 300WM. I’ve got a little .308 that hurts me more than most of my wbys, the gun absolutely matters.
  18. No, but it did draw a pretty hearty chuckle. Have seen it now with Rush, Floyd, and Babbitt and has yet to not deliver.
  19. Also works. Someone here was appalled a few weeks ago when a txaggy screenshot with the Floyd version was posted.
  20. If you can’t beat them, try and imitate them. Pretty sure freshwater doesn’t just take scraps, though.
  21. Wait, a borrowed George Floyd joke getting pos rep on Surl? #bothsides indeed.
  22. Seriously. I can only post so many lines from the song.
