The government mandated them, so they must be good for you...

The inflator on the defective ones tends to go off like a frag grenade spewing shrapnel into the passenger. That is why they recall it.

My Yota just got another recall on the passenger side airbag. Seems like the first jap airbag they replaced was defective also. Going to try again. At least the driver side is safe, who whats to go on a road trip??

All it takes is a little fire and some battery acid to make a meth lab

Dam, lost a toe?? Good thing that LOZ water makes you grow extras.

Why don't you post that over on the Bennett Spring forum. We are talking airbags here.....

Someone needs to invent a small jackplate for those big pucks. The one on the Nitro kicks up a huge wake all over the side of the motor.

I like the Garmins, but the puck is huge, almost like a little kayak hanging off the back of the boat. Screens are nice and they have a sharp echo.

Hi Cap Rifles Trump Pistols any day. Pistols are for sneaking around or backup when you run out of all the rifle ammo you are carrying. Firepower is power.

So, when they go off, do they eject the rider into the air so they land safely in the grass?

Away from the computer for a day and Wrench whips his pickle out. Why haven't the blame all my problems on someone elser's put airbags on a motorcycle yet?

Sheep.

Sweet. U da man.

Nice photoshop there. I had a hard time backing my Crappie Pro up when I was there. I would have hated to be the guy dragging that one. Did a helicopter drop that in for you? As far as the other stuff. I am happy with him as a mechanic and a person. Forgot one, was that a 4 stroker Merc on the Scarab???

Speckled Gar....

McCormack has run way down over the years. Good place for a stick up (robbery type, needle type). Back in the 80's and 90's it was a nice place. Then the NFS decided that fishing lakes were just a place for people to go and have fun. They would have no more of that. The dams were built before engineers had to adhere to liabilities that occur when they fail. The disaster at Taum Sauk and the payouts for that made them realize all of those dams are due to failure with age. Better just to cover them up and let them disappear. Crane Pond Lake, Little Scotia Lake, Reynolds County Lake, The Huzzah Fish Pond Lakes by Salem have all went down hill. They used to have good fishing, but floods and hoods have made them pretty rough. Council Bluff is still decent, but the Enough primitive campground was closed many years ago.

There are several, but most are forgotten and neglected. Roads to them blocked, banks grown up.

They were hardcore schooled in the Old Testament. Sacrifices, floods, famines, loss of first born child, turned into pillars of salt, and having to abide by 10 easy commandments. Jesus brought an alternative, a simpler form of redemption by only accepting him.

Its your life, live it and enjoy it. Laugh at the ones that give you grief, it really makes them mad. Enjoy the ones that bring you joy. Keep them close. Money, you can't take it with you and others can't take it from you if you don't have it. You really have to focus on the things that keep you well, family, faith, friends, and whatever you enjoy most in life.

Not with ole FBook....

All tucked in and ready.

I am a Gerber USA fan and Leatherman. I have a nice collection of both. EDC Carry knives are a Leatherman Folding knife and Rebar pliers with a Leatherman flashlight in the sheath with the pliers. Pocket knife is a Buck Stockman the kids gave me for Christmas years back. I will carry a Leatherman Sidekick or a Wave with a pocket clip if I don't want a belt sheath. Depends on what Pistole I am packing at the time. I may even have a Gerber Applegate auto on me for backup. I have a few to choose from...... Mine are collectors, but get used and have been used by me. I like a good blade that is sturdy and cuts. My deer processing knives are all Gerber. Exchange Blade Folder, Pro Guide Series from skinner to long blade. Gerber Fillet to cut silver skin. Gerber saws for bone. Gerber Ripper for skinning and gut cavity. Gerber and Fiskar axes. Gerber pruning to cut small stuff from hunting areas or brushing blinds. Pete Gerber and Blackie Collins were good. I walk away from most gunshows with a few knives too..

The nice thing about private land and telecheck. My deer meat has been alot better for it. I too use a tractor, the loader makes a good carry basket, the hay fork nice to hang it from. I can be at the house minutes from the kill and have it hanging where I can process it in a nice controlled environment despite the weather or ambient light. I have running water too. No spoilage time dragging carcass to town for an hour or more to check and brag. Zip tie bunghole and go to cutting, legs down to chest. Sawzall, battery operated, the pelvic split and the breast split. Feed bags catch the offal as it rolls out. Winch or loader adjusts the height to keep everything comfy, no stooping or reaching. Put in open air shed if cold and let hang. Skin, quarter, and put in refrigeration if warm. Bones and offal make coyote bait station for added shooting during season. If hanging, skin and quarter, debone on the carcass if I have time and just have meat. Then slice back strap steaks, cut up a ham muscle or two for jerky, and cube rest for grinding. Next night, mix ground reserved for a batch of summer sausage and let it sit and marinade a batch of jerky. Next night, bake summer sausage and dehydrate jerky. Done. It has become a system that I am now passing along to the other generations. Daughter spent last night with me learning the cutting up and grinding stage. Son in laws learning as they learn to kill deer. Grew up on a farm, butchered all of our meat until I was about 8. Chickens, Pigs, and Beef. We did goats for something different. Back then, we had smoke houses to cure hams and bacon. Those were the good old days. My jerky and summer sausage - Notepad.pdf

Poacher was found in Ky with a bobcat in freezer, fresh deer outside, and one in his bedroom running around.

My 30.06 always did good with Federal 180 gr soft tips. They usually dropped with any chest hit. Better shock to the system with hard hitting big bullet. Always punched thru both sides even at long range. But shoulder issues from surgery have left me with lighter calibers again. I am going to have to play with some bullets to work up better loads for them.
