    Seems no conspiracy. There was a SpaceX launch tonight from Vandenberg Space Base in California.

    One for the conspiracy theorists. I've no idea what this picture is of I took from the deck of my house. To the south of Phoenix, heading from west to east more/less.

    Clearly you care that Biden is not POTUS again. Those who are not in support of Trump on this forum I think are just about 100% in agreement with that position. So I'd think you'd care very much about Trump's strategy. This strategy of telling people who disagree with him can go eat a shee-it...

    DSC 2025 in Atlanta....are you going?

    I cannot imagine that is the main SCI show. If so, it makes no sense to me. Most of the regular SCI exhibitors also have a booth at DSC. And I know that SCI announced while we were in Nashville that they would be staying there for several more years scrapping Indy and also New Orleans I believe.

    Traveling with a Double

    This little nugget got me to thinking and took time to look again at my rifle. I had not noticed before, but under the forearm is another one of the places a Chapuis serial number can be found. It's one of three actually. This makes the decision easier. I didn't want to have to break the...

    Traveling with a Double

    Gents, I was interested in knowing how you guys who take your double rifles to Africa pack your rifles. On my one and only trip with a double two years ago, I packed it in my Americase broke down. Reason being was that it had to be broken down to see the serial number. So it seemed logical...

    Cannot disagree with you at all. One of the factors I'm sure that made things worse for younger son was schooling from home during Covid. That was awful and I don't doubt that he was greatly passed along. Fortunately he has found a skill that makes him happy as well as pretty damn good money...

    The think is Kevin from what I've seen is that bad behavior and ADHD don't necessarily go hand in hand. I think the bad behavior comes in because the kids know they're different than others. That beats on them mentally and that may manifest itself in bad behavior, for other kids it shows in...

    Yah, it took awhile for my older son to come around. My brother and his wife told me just wait until he's 25. And I'll be turned but almost to that exact day was a marked change in him. The interesting part of this is like me being 5 years younger than my only brother, so is my youngest. And...

    You made a pretty broad statement in your earlier post. And it's the kind of thing I've heard/read numerous times (not from you) over the years. Because it was so broad, it clearly told me you've not had the experience of raising children that are actually diagnosed correctly with ADHD. Trust...

    Politics

    So all kids who are ADD/ADHD or even Autism come from homes that didn't discipline? Hmmm, that seems like big wide paintbrush. And it's easier to drug them? You should do your usual research on this one and go study the side effects of the drugs used and see just how many side effects there...

    When it comes to the Covid vaccine, there's one undeniable truth. We don't know what if any long term side effects will be. I'm not challenging those in the short term that have been documented here. I'm only talking about the long term, as in years, many of them. It's only been about what 3...

    Houston Area Importers & Taxidermist

    Safari Specialty Importers is not in Texas but is owned by an Aggie, Wyatt Fetner. They cost a bit more up front, but that extra cost can be easily eliminated if your cat or other animals end up in a long wait in storage. Part of his fee accounts for the storage to begin with, but you'll pay...

    Opinions please: Pros/Cons of .375 Ruger vs .375 H&H

    No flies on the 375 Ruger, but if you're thinking this is a one and done, or not much more than that, I'd stick with the more popular 375H&H. It'll be easier to sell. But be forewarned, once you've had one, you'll likely not want to let it go. If I only had two rifles in my safe, it'll be my...

    Lee Factory Crimp Die for .470 NE

    Taking out of the conversation emotions and condescenion, I think the second paragraph on page 29 of the book you've read supports both what I and @rookhawk said. My thought was more focused on the bullet pushing in when the rifle slams against your shoulder. Rook was thinking more along the...

    You never know. They bought a big building in Manhattan for $46 million is what it boils down to. When in Nashville for SCI, we stayed at a AirBNB. It was perhaps the most cheaply built townhouse I've ever seen. But it was a bargain for our group of 4 in comparison to staying at a hotel...

    Lee Factory Crimp Die for .470 NE

    There's still a lot of momentum there that when it comes to an abrupt stop against you could result in the bullet not stopping when the case does. Depends on load and neck tension I suppose. The thing I think I'm certain of is that it doesn't hurt.
