That image is burned into your memory until the end of time. Mission accomplished

I do have a camoflage tutu.

I had a really sweet gun cabinet and a collection of guns that anyone would be proud of, but the Twister in '06 turned it all into scrap A good gun safe would have saved them, but thankfully insurance reimbursed me. I don't hunt like I used to so I pissed all the gun money away on other things that were more important at the time and have really never regretted it. Even though the airgun hobby is full of complexity and frustration I can honestly say that I'm having way more fun messing with them than I ever did with my powder burners.

Haven't been by there but it isn't known to suffer from the water level we currently have (654-655)

If you can't catch them now, just wait about 3 weeks and you'll be able to load every freezer in your neighborhood in a single weekend.

I suppose. But it ain't exactly hard to come up with a mess, even if you don't have a boat to install side imaging sonar on.

Bedroom, not bathroom. Actually I should have put it in the bathroom just to see the reaction. Hairspray and perfume fallout just might be a good rust inhibitor.

I got a call last night echoing that exact same report. Jigs under a slip bobber out over 12-15' after finding them with side imaging. Loaded the boat with big slabs in no time at all, and they were still biting when they left.

Guido's lengthy fight with his health put alot of stress on the whole family. As sad as his passing is there is a continuing string of fishing expertise behind him that need to heal....and then get back to what they do best. Guido is gone, but in all honesty he wasn't the one that started it, and the Hibdon legend most definitely lives on. Everything that Guido was has been intentionally preserved in Dion and his boys, PLUS SOME!

Maybe next year This is the year for a new truck and new furniture. Oh yeah.....and a hot tub on the deck

My taste in jewelry is lost on her. I bought her a necklace with a diamond the size of a pellet. I think it resides at the bottom of a jewelry box, and it isn't even THE jewelry box. That will be my very last solo jewelry gift purchase.

Sugar britches says that the fly tying stuff can stay, but the "airgun crap" has to have a home other than the kitchen. Hillbilly carpentry insued. Guarantee I'm the only one with a pallet on the wall in their bedroom. She ain't exactly mad..... but she's definitely not happy. Not my fault that she has filled all the closets with scrapbooking stuff, quilting and sewing stuff, board games, and all that other assorted garbage.

Ain't no denying, the boy can catch'em. 🤳👍

I can install. https://www.nightfishion.net/

Absolutely. Or a tag from a trout park.

I can't accept that compliment, but as soon as the weather gets a bit nicer I'll be anxious to make a day of it. The third UTG bit the dust yesterday. Hard to get a pic through the scope but can you see what the right side of the reticle has done ? It dropped down about 1/4 of a mildot. Ugh!!!! I simply cannot keep 3 scopes all working at the same time.

Good job fellas! I'm sure all involved had a great time.

My great uncle was stricken with it back before it had a clinical name, they just called him "ol' crazy Walter". He decided one day to sell his fishing boat. For 4 months afterwards he'd wake up every morning, pour himself a cup of coffee, look out the window and have a shitfit because "somebody stole his boat!" If my aunt Ann didn't get to him quick enough he'd call the sheriff. After a week of getting a phone call every morning the county dispatcher would answer "Good morning Walter, I know Hun. Don't worry we'll find it". We thought it was funny as all get out at the time, but when I think back about it now it makes me sad. Poor ol' dude.

I'll give ya 14# on the buffalo. 35 is quite a fish tale

A kid? You've lost track of how old your are, Al. You were out of high school before the first Snoopy rod hit the market.

Oh I have been. The Simmons 22Mag is supposed to be up to magnum springer capability, as was the UTG that the reticle tube went sideways on. The warranty replacement has held up ok though, so far, but I can't dial in for a 50+ yard shot or it goes all inconsistent, so I have to rely solely on mildots....which I'm not very good at yet. Takes me 4-5 shots to get that crap right. What's the point of having cool target turrets if you can't use them? The Hammers 3-9x40AO was the shortest lived of the bunch, it was still holding zero but something started rattling around in it after 100 shots and then it started fogging up back when it was colder than a witches tit. I didn't even want to try another one so I took the refund. I've learned how to make them hold zero by shimming the back mount as much as possible, which (once zeroed) creates more spring tension on the inner tube and keeps everything in place, at least until parts start flying off of them. I added yet another shim to the Simmons today and brought it back to life....for now. My best scope so far is a Bushnell AR but that sucker is so heavy that it makes my fairly light weight break barrels feel top heavy, and that bugged me so badly that I took it off and am saving it for a possible PCP or a .25 someday. I'm sure that the reason I've had so much scope issues is simply because I am doing ALOT of shooting. I mean if you saw the stacks of empty pellet tins I have aquired you'd be like "Holy Crap!" But hey, I'm trying to get genuinely good at this game The average plinker could probably get along fine with any of the scopes I've trashed.

Thanks. Sorry to put you through that, because now I've decided to go this way, with a barrel band.

It only took me 3 years of having a house on the shoreline with a dock to realize I didn't want to live there anymore. Sometimes the things you dream about having are way more trouble than they are worth. Luckily it isn't hard to unload shoreline property. I'm way happier being really close to the lake, but not directly on it.

I have one like that on my Gamo, but that won't work so good on the Benji.

No pissing. Violators will be castrated !
