  1. Its 2021, who the fuck mails a check for a bill vs paying online?
  2. I dove your mother’s cave last night.
  3. How much that is? Don’t know on the 20 Field. Briley’s in Houston is advertising a 725 field 28ga for $2300 and a 725 20 ga sporting for $2400 so I expect the 20 field to be in that range. ETA: They also list a Beretta 686 SP1 30” 20 ga for $2100.
  4. When was the last time you changed it? I never switched over to braid for casting reels and have just always used 12lb Big Game. Used to buy the big 1lb spools and change it out like socks.
  5. Have you tried to get any fuel out of a car recently this way? Roll over valve can make this very difficult if not impossible.
  6. Do yourself a favor and get transfer tank with a pump instead of a used drum. Store it outside, away from your residence. Buy ethanol free fuel and add a good fuel stabilizer. As an alternative to one large bulk tank, get a number of quality 5 gal cans, filled with ethanol free gas/stabilizer and rotate them out on a monthly basis so you turn your supply every year. Get 6 cans and every two months dump the oldest one into your car and refill/treat. Rotating fuel and water storage like this is a pretty standard prepper strategy.
  7. Option 3: 28” 725 Field 20 ga
  8. Brookshire's or Brookshire Brothers? Two different chains and I could see that with a few of the BB stores I've been to in small town ETx.
  9. Meh, not the first time they've had to deal with a hot searing cloud.
  10. How far apart are the remotes from the main? Can they do 6-700 yards?
  11. Have heard good things about Ridgetec and Cuddlelink. Both are $$ compared to typical cellular cameras sold at Academy, etc. I had a Spylink at our place and couldn’t pick up a cell signal with it. I want to try a Ridgetec but have t got around to buying one.
  12. I was wondering which rapper got his shit confiscated by the US Marshall and then came upon this lovely piece. A quick search returned YNW Melly whose is currently awaiting two counts of murder in a Florida jail and is also suspected in the shooting death of a 2017 deputy sheriff.
  13. I doubt just flying a drone around waterfowl would be an issue but when you turn and dive toward them to make them move or fly it could be a problem. Like I said, the FGWs I have met usually didn't have a sense of humor and I imagine there is a very non-hunting friendly generation of wardens currently being employed. There were a few guides out on the Katy prairie in the 80s and 90s that reportedly would use small airplanes to push flocks of snow geese toward their sports. Didn't turn out so well for at least one of them.
  14. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.” - Hemingway
  15. I have had several hawks and owls swoop into the decoys while duck hunting and take a swipe at a deke. Had a Greater Horned Owl make a pass at one right before shooting time then land in a dead tree right behind our blind and start to hoot. We were laughing at the owl wondering what the hell that was instead of a duck. If you duck hunted out on the Katy prairie for any length of time, you probably had multiple times when a hawk would fly in and snag a duck that was just shot and waiting to be retrieved.
  16. The shingle bundle that broke the deck joist’s back? Also: the Backyard Engineer’s Guide on how not to dynamically load test a structure.
  17. I had a roommate in college that brought up an old tan trihull boat with a 75 Chrysler on that was branded as Bass Bandit. Headed to the lake for drinking and skiing during the summer and the the B in Bass got taped over leaving it as the ass Bandit. It was an old POS but it floated and could pull a ski or a hydro slide so we were golden.
  18. While you could have mini guns in that drone blazing at those coots and I wouldn’t care a federal GW may differ in his opinion. I would not be posting that in a public forum. Most of those guys have an 8” cedar fence post jammed so far up their ass you can see it when they remove their hat.
  19. Who was the guy that Vic started a thread of that was a player in his own mind? Had a bunch of tats and shitty beard? He posted a pic of a fridge loaded up with shit like this one time I believe.
  20. Garage Journal forums has a whole sub-forum on garage flooring. Should be able to find everything you want to know. FWIW, couple of neighbors did the DIY epoxy and they looked good for 3 or 4 years or so then started to flake up. Biggest thing is cleaning the floor well and using a surface grinder. I don't think either did the grinding and that's a crucial step from what I've read.
  21. When i was a kid, we would carve a jack o'lantern, put the candle inside and put it on top of a 6' ladder that had a sheet draped over it for a body. I would submit that this demented gourd would make for a fine example.
