The post whore thread.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Costume role play maybe?

[iego]

It was my Pump Action 12 Gauge Shotgun based on Mossberg 500 and sold by Montgomery Ward back in the day. First gun I owned. Think I got it in a trade; Amiga Computer for a Shotgun, Guitar, and Amp. :D

Here's the "advertisement" I sent Chick for it in a PM. :)

--

Has a select-a-choke on it, which allows you to dial in, or out the spread of the shot.

It had a dowel in it, limiting it to 2 rounds in the magazine but I removed that and it now takes 5+1 in the chamber.

It's a very inexpensive, nothing fancy, 12 Gauge Shotgun from years gone by, based on a tried and true design, and works dandy.

Makes a very satisfying noise when you "rack" it.

It's actually the first gun I have ever owned, got it (and a guitar and amp) in trade for a computer, way back in the day.

Here's some reading on it...

She really handled it well, and watching her I forgot how much kick that thing has until I shot it later. She made it look easy!

[ChickNorris]

Lovelovelove shooting a shotgun.

iego! Thank you for inviting me to try it.

[ChickNorris]

Good morning folks

[ChickNorris]

Its Santiago Saturday

[ChickNorris]

What model / brand. was the question. Mossberg, Remington, Winchester, etc?

Sounds like you had a good time, dressed ;)

I did. But don't tell Brutal because I still think I can disprove it...

[ChickNorris]

I want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane or helicopter & see if that's more fun. I suspect it is, but only if I walk away after.

[ChickNorris]

In the interim I need to try more shotguns & maybe read up on the difference between trap & skeet.

Too bad they don't call 'em 'squirrels'...

[ChickNorris]

iego!

Did I mention how much fun I had yesterday?!

Thank you.

[ray1970]

Too bad they don't call 'em 'squirrels'...

Others will likely disagree with me but I find trap so easy it?s almost boring. Skeet I struggle with to the point it almost frustrates me.

Sporting clays is a hoot.

[ChickNorris]

I think I'd like to try both.

[ray1970]

I wasn?t discouraging you.

Make a trip to Colorado Clays. Maybe shoot a couple of rounds of trap then try a little skeet. Once you?re warmed up and in the groove play a round of sporting clays.

[ChickNorris]

: )

Drive by there often...

[ChickNorris]

I wasn?t discouraging you.

Just the opposite, I read it as you were encouraging me.

[Great-Kazoo]

I want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane or helicopter & see if that's more fun. I suspect it is, but only if I walk away after.

My spouse did skydiving, unfortunately the chute always opened [panic]

We'd watch, while she did jumps we enjoyed bloody marys. What was a tiny spec in the sky rapidly became larger & larger till the chute opened. I know the bloody marys were as enjoyable for us as her jumping out of a plane was for her.


Remember. It's a big planet and never misses.

[Great-Kazoo]

I want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane or helicopter & see if that's more fun. I suspect it is, but only if I walk away after.

Besides, you're never too old to give it a try. Our friends mother did it for her 80th b-day last year, along with her 84 yr old friend. I know they do it occasionally since then.

[ChickNorris]

Damn Kazoo... those are some loaded endorsements...

[wyome]

Its Santiago Saturday

Santiago's had a line around the building and into the street....went with Burger King next door and that was not as good as Santiago's

[Irving]

Just for Grant.

In 5-stand, grounders are called rabbits.

[ChickNorris]

That makes sense.

Still not a squirrel though. : )

[ChickNorris]

I think the best part of yesterday was the laughter I made (not after taking the first shot because I had an idea of what to expect)....

It was after I saw what it did to the target & the stand.

Though I think giggles of joy escaped with each shot thereafter.

[ChickNorris]

Thank you again iego.
: )

[ChickNorris]

... & when I was packing up the truck...

[ChickNorris]

... & during the ride home, dinner & maybe even while I slept...

[ChickNorris]

Ok. Done rizzing on about that.

[ChickNorris]

Oh wait... when I returned home I informed my husband that unless it was too late, I wanted to amend my birthday wish list to just one item.

[Grant H.]

I don't have the desire to go launching myself, and a perfectly good dirt bike, in the air like that.

The e-bike should start making some real progress soon. I got the motor mount plate drawn out this past week...

[ChickNorris]

Spend enough time in the air for work i would imagine.

[ChickNorris]

All the three gun matches that I competed in were buck & slug.
But that was back in the 80s, well before the man bun was even thought up. Other than in ancient wood block prints from Japan.

Hehehe

[Erni]

Anyone else finding that Amazon is becoming a pricey iffy quality place? My order is not going out for 2 more days, but too late to canel. Peime 2 day means it might be here in 2 days. I have to double check delivery dates as they change grom the product page to my order page.
Bezos put down the loose wimen and rockets and go back to work.

[ChickNorris]

Well maybe not the rockets... but yeah it'd be nice if he shipped his wares on time.

[iego]

Yeah, I've seen a marked decline in Amazon quality lately, including missed deadlines, much longer shipping times than "prime" should allow for, etc.

Not to mention how they obfuscate and make making a smart buying decision almost impossible.

camelcamelcamel.com is your friend when trying to figure out amazon pricing, and what if any games they are playing today.

But, yes, in short they are an absolute mess and not to be trusted for an inch.

My biggest issue of late is their crappy delivery by AMZL locals.

I do shop around and don't just go to AMZ by default. After buying a new OEM (plastic) chrome grille on ebay from dealer stock, I'm considering new OEM headlight housings for my truck and Rock Auto ends up being the best deal. I find most OEM vehicle parts are way overpriced on AMZ over ebay or the OEM sites anyway.

I always review camelcamelcamel before buying something that's more than a few bucks and I could probably wait for. Easy to plan ahead for seasonal items.

I think most car parts now are third party vendors that pay for a AMZN service. They just list the parts and basically when you order they get paid and place an order with rock or a distributor. Would be ok if it saved $ but its just another crappy middle man.

[iego]

iego!

Did I mention how much fun I had yesterday?!

Thank you.

I had a great time too, thank you Chick!

It's so fun to be around someone so passionate for the sport, and I really learned a lot from the knowledge you have worked to accumulate in a relatively short time.

Thank you for helping me zero my new 6mm Creedmoor/Burris XTRII rig, and teaching me principles, like consistency, for accuracy.

And then with the A/R, speed, and being able to go offhand, or use offset sites. These are things I didn't even know existed. :)

We need to let hbarleatherneck know that people sighted his holster, and asked about it, and we pointed them here. :)

Can't wait to do it again,

[William]

Last time I ordered from rockoauto back in Late January they would not deliver to Colorado home ruled cities due to tax burden. I had to go to Monument to pick it up. Hopefully that changed as I won't do it again.

A 930 mossberg ?

[Grant H.]

Not even that...

The risk of serious personal injury goes up dramatically when you start leaving the ground.

My two wheeled fun is already risky enough...

[Great-Kazoo]

Damn Kazoo... those are some loaded endorsements...

The question is. Do you deserve to treat yourself to some skydiving fun? if the answer is yes, go for it. You'll get a shotgun for your Bday, when ever that is, or was ;)

Change your husbands mind, ask him for a skydiving gift certificate, then buy a shotgun yourself.

[CobaltSkink]

Rock Auto is shipping to Colorado.
In fact, I had parts come from two different warehouses in Denver metro.

[iego]

Rock Auto, mainly rocks :)

Hey, Wyome.

I'm eager to send a few bolts, been a while.

Hopefully it was a temporary glitch. I need more of the magnets.

Crossbow? How far out can those be shot accurately? I've never shot one

[OtterbatHellcat]

Crossbow? How far out can those be shot accurately? I've never shot one

Mission 360...I dig it. 25 yds. is bullseye. Farthest I've messed with it is 50 yds. and once you get you elevation kinda figured out it's still right there.

Good question, and I'd like to know myself.

[wyome]

Just fling em down the street.... I'm sure the cops will let you know how far they went

[OtterbatHellcat]

Don't tempt me....red flag bill and all that biz.

[OtterbatHellcat]

It would be cool to take a day and really figure out how far one could go with it.

I know it penetrates 3/16 aluminum sheet at 25 yds. and doesn't even recognize a car door any more than a loaf of bread from the same distance.

[wyome]

I'll prolly work on my 30 and 40yd shooting tomorrow... getting ready for turkey in NE... can't see shooting further than that...

[OtterbatHellcat]

Right on, man.

Happy practicing. :)

[ChickNorris]

Hey... I broke the 5000th post 7 back & missed it.

Have you ever wondered what it will be like 3000 years from now?

Well, 3007 years from now.

[wyome]

Nope....

[OtterbatHellcat]

You're blessed.

Sanity must be pleasant.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I really do occasionally think about the duration of all of this.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Assuming a generation would live to be 70, ...43 generations will have occurred in that span.

[OtterbatHellcat]

A pretty solid follow up to that might be that I get some brownie points for cleaning up the shitter.

:)

[OtterbatHellcat]

G'nite all.

Dream of 3 and 4 link suspensions, and some bad assery King shocks dialed in like nobodies business.

[ChickNorris]

.... it's time to thin my collection of crap down, again...

Same here

[ChickNorris]

Im close to ordering a roll off & clearing the house near bare. Ill keep the firearms hobby, all my tools, & my eclectic art collection & my wardrobe.

I don't even feel like sorting & finding homes right now for the 'good' stuff.

[ChickNorris]

Oh... & of course keep my husband's things.

Sorry.

[ChickNorris]

[mlp]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Purge = good.

[Grant H.]

I'm close to the whole roll off dumpster game...

The big problem is I know there is value in a lot of what I don't want anymore, it's that I have to justify dealing with CL or eBay to get rid of it all in my mind.

Since I'm already selling huge amounts of stuff from the estate on eBay, I'm adding a bunch of mine to eBay as well.

Stupid ass "Stuff" breeds like rabbits, especially when you have too many hobbies/projects like me...

[ChickNorris]

Yes. But when is it's value worth more than your time, energy, space.

I see the equity lost, on both sides.

To paraphrase fight club - I want to own my things & no longer let them own me.

[Irving]

Do you have an 300W solar panels you need to get rid of?

[Grant H.]

Yes. But when is it's value worth more than your time, energy, space.

I see the equity lost, on both sides.

To paraphrase fight club - I want to own my things & no longer let them own me.

Agreed.

That's where, when I get into this mode, I give certain things a time frame depending on perceived value. Throw it up on CL, ebay, here, etc for a period of time, then if it doesn't sell it gets recycled/scrapped/donated, trashed...

I do this about 2x a year it seems...

[ChickNorris]

Me? Not that I'm aware of, but Ive got a locker to empty still. I'll set it aside if I do.

: )

[Grant H.]

Do you have an 300W solar panels you need to get rid of?

Lol. No.

I wish it was all super desirable stuff like 300W panels...

[ChickNorris]

Think I'm going to skip out to the range for a few hours... can't not work on that bitchin farmer's tan because it's oh so hawt when I wear a skirt.

[Irving]

I saw a 6' woman with bright pink hair at the liquor store on Friday. It wasn't Chick Norris though.

[ChickNorris]

Couldn't be. I'm not pink right now.

[Irving]

She could have been related to you though.

[ChickNorris]

I do have a doppelganger here in Denver, maybe she went pink in my stead.

[FoxtArt]

Most people like to think of hording stuff as having no cost.

I like to consider that every SF in a home or a property has a cost. Mortgage, insurance, utilities, tax, etc, it adds up to more than $1/SF/month for most homes. Gives some motivation to clear "stuff" out. A simple 2x2x2 foot box eats $48/year in space, possibly as much as $120 a year in some homes. Storage is never free, even if it is your home - you're either living a larger home than needed as a result, or your living space is drastically reduced, making your large home a small one.

Long story short, to motivate for serious crap removal, just keep adding the number of how much "space $" you are saving a year.. it gets big, quickly.

Of course, certain people have psychological disorders associated with hoarding. I've known some that have, I'm not going to pretend I know a solution for that.

That's a great way to look at it. I've never actually calculated the $/sqft of my house, but I certainly consider the cost of storing what I have.

And then you look at all the storage unit places that continue to get built, and figure that people continue to pay to store stuff they don't even remember they have...

So ridiculous...

[ChickNorris]

Did I mention the joy of shotguns today.

Happy little giggles

I found the easiest way to off load "collectibles" is have a massive garage sale. Then close to a year later, see those who made wise buys resell it ;)

[ray1970]

I usually just toss my collectibles in a trash can. Seems like the quickest way to get rid of them.

[Erni]

I'm with Jim on this one. Garage sale and watch in amazement as people pay you to take away stuff you would have thrown out in a month or so.

And Im in the same boat. Going through stuff and tossing what was kept and not touched for 10 years. Do I teally need my school notes or books from my childhood?.....

I have people turn stuff like that in on insurance claims. "Look at this box full of my kid's old homework that got water on it! I can never replace this old drawing/math homework/etc."

"I had several boxes full of old text books from the 1960's. I already threw them away but don't worry, I'll tell you how much they were worth."

[ChickNorris]

I don't play the actual equity game when it comes to 'perceived' value as an example:

Yes, I understand you're asking $5.
Im offering $3.
Do you want to sell it or not because it's not worth $5 TO ME.

Lots of people don't understand this.

My attitude, in this regard, has kept me from purchasing many things, because their perceived value and mine were not close enough to each other.

[Irving]

Just the value of paper or card stock or whatever. Most reasonable people don't ask for those things though. My favorite are the ones who realized they were accidentally hording garbage and just use it as an opportunity to throw stuff away.

Negotiating on services depends on the situation in play. There are situations where it is reasonable, and there are situations where it isn't.

(I generally expect some level of negotiation for my services with my customers. Less so for day to day things, but when I am building proposals for projects)...

They have to justify their job somehow. "Look, I saved us 10% on this project"...

The fact that I just gutted the warranty I normally offer on our radio networks doesn't get mentioned. Then, when things fail, the engineering/non-bean-counter folks are thinking "yay, gets fixed under warranty" until I send them back the amended warranty that the bean counters approved to get their price cut...

I've only had one customer not come back for repeat business because of this kind of game, but based on anecdotal information from a friend "in the know", they weren't coming back anyway and used that as the reason.

My wife proudly says that all of her craft stuff fits in one box...

I get annoyed when she calls our house a box...

[Sarcasm2]

That was very funny.

But my 'crafts' are in the garage not the house.

She is much more of a girly girl when it comes to "crafting". The majority of the rest of her interests? She's a tomboy, which works well with me.

Crafting is even a stretch. The majority of her project time is put into custom made costumes from movies/games that she likes.

Her Arwen (LOTR) dress took her over 100 hours to make and put all the detail and such in...

Best photo of it I can find right now... The detail in the gold stitching that she did by hand is unbelievable. She also made the hooded cloak in this picture...

I completely forgot about this. Yes that's some serious craftwork, artistry.

I can sew. I can't sew like THAT.

[ChickNorris]

That actually takes me back to my earlier point, I don't negotiate for a person's services. Things like the above take time & skill so when I see it I don't see a good, I see craftsmanship. Not negotiable.

I don't have an issue paying for services. Knowing the other party is open to barter, even better. I doubt i ever paid retail (outside restaurants) for anything ever in NY or CO. AZ is taking some time, but things will fall in to place, eventually.

Yehaw,

I get to do battle with a d*ckhead SAN admin tomorrow.

He always ef's up what I need him to do. Idiot puts multiple initiators in the same zone (not using smart zoning) too even when I feed him the proper scripts. Dumb fuk fiddles with em.

Just let me log into the effin switch and do my thing.

I already told the manager for the platform I'm working on fixing for them (yea, it's AFU) that he's been uncooperative in the past and that if I did this project, I needed his full cooperation. We'll see how that goes tomorrow.

[brutal]

They're asking me to upgrade their production SAN Wed OMG early and I need this other shit done first, and ASAP or it's gonna fail for sure.

Well half of the review is reviewing the service, which has nothing to do with the product. I suspect that is why.

Break out the torch two or three times every spring, summer, and fall....and flame the fuckers. I battled that horse shit for years in Buie, finally got it damn near under control...and the Ex didn't stay with it. Those fukin seeds have a 3,5, and 7 year reproduction capability if IIRC. DO NOT scalp or drag the ground. If they have competition, they're easier to spot trying to grow above said competition.

Dammit I fought those effing things, and was winning.

Boo. It is going to snow.

[Great-Kazoo]

Boo. It is going to snow.

50+ mph winds yesterday, repeated today. What was 10 T of dirt delivered has been whittled down to a smaller pile. Of course my neighbor has maybe 6 T against his fence.

[ChickNorris]

You could thank your neighbor for use of the fence. : )

[Irving]

Isn't dirt delivered in yards instead of tons? I mean, yards of dirt do have weight after all.

[ChickNorris]

From everything Kazoo has ever said about landscape & hardgood materials in his neck of the woods, it wouldn't surprise me if tons rather than yards was the standard for soil down there. Weirdos

[wyome]

Good morning

[ChickNorris]

Sup Wyome. You off work today?

[Irving]

Where are Mazin and Grant? I want to know if I should be jumping on that DJI Phantom 3.

Browsing Craigs, it looks like it is priced for the market and I just didn't realize how cheap a decent drone could be had for at this time.

[Grant H.]

I just replied to your PM.

[Irving]

Me too!

[wyome]

: )

Sup Wyome. You off work today?

Nope.... been working evenings.... trying to decide if I should stay awake or get more sleep

[Mazin]

Stuving its a good deal and the DJI 3 pro is a good flying bird.

[ChickNorris]

Reminds me of a flying strike.

[ChickNorris]

If youve any errands, I'd do them now.

[Mazin]

One reccomendation would be not to up date it right away. Lots of software changes good and bad. Keep in mind whenever DJI puts out a new update look to the DJI forum to see if the update is gtg, lots of people have had fly aways right after updating their SW

[ChickNorris]

Defector code... interesting

[Irving]

That's good to know. I know almost next to nothing about drones.

[Mazin]

Thats pretty much what it is too CN.
If you get it man hit me up and i can give you a walk through on setup, flying. The thing will fly itself, the DJI series are less drone and more of aerial video / picture platform.

[Mazin]

STU correction that is a standard model Phantom not the pro. Imho its competitively priced but could be dropped, but it is also basicly new with case so worth asking price. If you dont get it and still want one you can find 3 pro's in the same range.

[Irving]

Does it have a camera?

[Irving]

Here is another video for Grant.

[Great-Kazoo]

Isn't dirt delivered in yards instead of tons? I mean, yards of dirt do have weight after all.

Tones. You order / buy by the ton. Or trailer full, if pick up. Drive vehicle / trailer over scale. Once loaded over scale to see how much material you received.

Or you have a load delivered. Typical landscape delivery is free if over 8T . So you always go bigger than needed. They also base material needed on sq footage and depth of material. I want 2" of driveway rock (1/2-2" mix) over X area. They say 35T, i'm getting 50t to have some for other projects.

Unlike some landscape places in CO that try telling you one of their buckets is X yards of material. Which if you weighed it always falls much shorter than you paid for.

[Great-Kazoo]

Weirdos? I'll remember that while everyone on the forum is dealing with yet another snow storm. While it's a casual 65+ today, monday hit 85+

Plus i can drive 5-10 minutes and shoot guns, with 4 gun stores in town.

This is what I use and it's very nice. The company is awesome to work with too. My gauge stopped working so they sent me a new slider and it wouldn't fit my drawbar. I guess their machining tolerances had changed so they sent me a new drawbar as well!
