I've fired thousands of rounds in full auto. M-16, M-60 (.308), Browning .30 cal,(.30-06) Browning MA2,(.50 cal BMG) Thompson (.45ACP) Effective full auto fire requires a belt fed mounted gun with tracers every five rounds. Even low powered full auto in a heavy shoulder fired weapon (11 lb Thompson in .45ACP) is very difficult to control. M-16 is no better in full auto. Now give me a mounted gun with tracers and you don't want to be a target anywhere inside 1,000 yards, maybe twice that with a .50.

If it was me, I'd want something belt fed with a tracer every five rounds. M 60 hanging on a single point sling would be first choice.

At your age and with your health problems, I don't think you should even buy green bananas. And there is no way your wife will ever okay that purchase. On the other hand, getting one would give you another bed partner, so there is that.

Slaughter and handling don't meet standards for human consumption is what I've read. How the deer "Share the Harvest Program" gets around that is a pure mystery to me.

Mark Twain National Forest - Alerts & Notices (usda.gov) This notice tells about closing Hercules Glades area next week for aerial gunning feral hog control. The Irish Wilderness has been closed this week for the same reason.

My grandson is a land manager for The Nature Conservancy. Just moved to South Dakota from near Ada Oklahoma. The Oklahoma property has a major feral hog problem. He operated one of those large round traps that is elevated and baited. Game cameras to his phone. When pigs would gather, he would trip the trap to fall and capture multiple pigs. Shot them with an AR and moved them to another spot to rot. Not a pleasant experience according to him.

With a few exceptions, this thread has taken a turn for the better. Seems some people just can't help themselves.

Why she sounds delightful.

I saw them and the New Riders of the Purple Sage at The Palladium in 1971. About a 5 hour show. My haircut made me stand out in that crowd but no problems, guess the inner DeadHead shined right on through. I've been to a lot of good music shows in my life, but that one still is way way up there. Sugar Magnolia and Playin' in the Band are tied for my favorite Dead songs. Me and my Uncle is pretty up there too.

I want to live with a Cinnamon Girl. I can be happy for the rest of my life with my Cinnamon Girl.

They're good. Real good.

That's nothing. Down by the river, I shot my baby. Caught her messin' around with another man, so I shot her. I gave her the gun. (a little lyrical mashup fun from about the same time)

I've actually been ice fishing and would like to take this opportunity to register my disappointment. All we did was fish.

Statute of limitations ran out a long time ago. Comment stands.😇

If I was to run from the law, I'd rather be in almost anything other than a bread truck. Your judgement in getaway vehicles needs work. Also, just for the record, in case you forgot - pictures, or it didn't happen. And also for the record, I used to live in Frank James' house in Nevada, MO. Course he was dead at the time. So it wasn't really his anymore. But it used to be. Can't help it, it's just part of my outlaw history from back when I was younger. Not the gang, just my age. Frank and Jesse were both real nice guys too. Unless you objected to getting robbed or shot or such.

Tell us about that time you were a boxer but Ali wouldn't fight you because he was afraid of what might happen if you got mad.

You just can't win.

My Mom was in the Navy, but I haven't spent my life on ship.

Sure is an interesting life you lead there oneshot. You've had enough run ins to last twenty people's lifetimes.

We inoculated two logs with shitake spores two years ago. Still nothing.☹️

Anybody that wants a gun already has one. But the next thing you know it'll be Wrench's snapper and that's just not going to flush.

The Harter House in Springfield on Republic Road had it at the meat counter. They've got a pretty wide selection of deli meats there. Had them slice some head cheese at the same time I got the bologna. It's good but not even close to the Lebanon Bologna. It's nothing like any bologna I've ever had. More of a salami texture with a flavor like a mild summer sausage that's a little smokey. Really good. Definitely not overpowered by my sandwich fixin's. I'd never heard of it 'til reading something Johnsfolly wrote about it. I'll get some more one of these days.

To each his own I guess. We live in the country too. When it's dark out the doors are always locked. Safer for everybody that way.

Did he have a key?

I'm going to do you a favor and not tell Lovey you said that.😵
