  1. Fine to a point. There have been no personal flames from moi. If you can find one, quote it and I will apologize. I won't be in the political topic place, ever. And will be more than glad if others keep the politics there. If they bring it here, it's fair game.
  2. I've said many times and will again I'm sure that the only thing money is good for is what you buy with it.
  3. I had my Nikons out last night looking at birds about 50' away. And mused about what I might see with a pair of Swarovski's that I was missing with the Nikons. Heck I don't know enough about birds to tell the difference anyway. I know they're better. But probably wasted on a guy like me.
  4. Same here except I take $100 gift cards when the points allow. When you get to be my age, Christmas is not a given. I don't even buy green bananas.
  5. Dave it's really good to see you out and about. Hoping you and net monkey are having a great time.
  6. I'm always happy.😎
  7. I tried to keep this thread clean but gave up. Obviously. I'm more than willing to drop it so long as others are too. Otherwise, I'll play.
  8. Huge strategic error by Pelosi. She knew the R Senate would never convict, no matter how overwhelming the case.
  9. Trump Foundation. The one that he used for charitable things like portraits of himself.
  10. That gave me the best laugh I've had in a while.
  11. If there's ever been a President with more indicted, convicted, forced resignations and withdrawn nominations of his minions somebody please tell me which one. And if there's ever been a President who's now barred from running a "charitable" foundation, please tell me which one. If there's ever been a President who's turned on more of his people - senior people, please tell me which one.
  12. The country wasn't ready for a black president, I agree. But when fish face says there are good people on both sides after what happened in S.C. that's about as overtly racist and divisive as it gets.
  13. Sorry to be such a snowflake who cares about the country and others. His lying and carelessness hasn't killed me yet so I've got that going for me. But he's not finished yet so who knows.
  14. Fiddling while Rome burns comes to mind. Packing the courts with partisan judges comes to mind. Normalizing the absurd comes to mind. Embarrassing me for living in a country that elected him comes to mind. Normalizing racism and divisiveness at the highest levels comes to mind. Trampling the constitution comes to mind. And that fish face. It makes me want to throw up every time I see it.
  15. Benelli is not gas operated and recoil is the same as a fixed breech shotgun. I have an M1 Super 90 in 12 gauge. Recoil is about like my 870 shotguns. I'd be looking for a used 1100. I was gifted one for my 21 birthday and just recently had it cut down for lovey. She likes it a lot. Mine is the older 20 gauge 1100 built on the same receiver as the 12. Used 20 gauge 1100 should not be hard to find either. And they are hard to wear out!
  16. They all fit well inside my guideline of live beneath your means. Paying cash for what you buy and being debt free changes your life.
  17. All good advice.
  18. Your 12 ga. 1187 with mild 2 3/4" loads will have a lot less felt recoil than a 20 ga.870 shooting equivalent loads. Due to weight and the recoil mitigation of the 1187 action. My recommendation is keep the 1187 and invest in a good recoil pad. Limbsaver has a very good reputation. A padded shooting jacket is another thought. If you're sold on a 20 ga. then get another semi-auto.
  19. I don't know what that means.
  20. I cannot imagine how any fund manager wants to buy anything right now. I'm manager of a small fund (my IRA) and I am 99% on the sidelines husbanding cash and cash equivalents. There will probably be opportunities later. Whoever comes up with a vaccine, treatment, PPE manufacturing, sustainable food production, sustainable transportation seem to be likely candidates. If they are even publicly traded. Don't be fooled by any of the indexes up or down. Volume /number of shares bought and sold is totally in the tank. Hide and watch is more or less the deal these days.
  21. I'm of a mind that the real economic meltdown is yet to come. I hope I'm wrong. Printing more money is no long term solution.
  22. I carry a bar of Lava soap and some Dawn detergent in my boats. And hand towels. A wet hand towel really helps with handling fish.
  23. Forrest is for the dog yards that I can't get the Dixon through the gates. 52" ZTR. I'd pay money to ride it. It's called "The Wild Mouse" in honor of the old roller coaster down by Lee Mace's Ozark Opry. I day drink while I'm mowing. Good times.
  24. Like Old Forrest here? 14.5 HP OHV Briggs with cast iron cylinder sleeve. It's electric start with manual backup. Runs like a top. Sorry, ole Forrest just ain't for sale. I don't think I can wear it out. But I'll just keep trying .
