The post whore thread.

Reba of course started raising hell at his presence and had to be taken to the truck so as not to ruin moment or garner to much of his attention or ire.

He was on the other side of lake which is only 50yds wide at that point. Would only take him a few moments to swim across.

[buffalobo]

Facing down a mad bull moose with a GSD pup is not on my vacation list of to do's.

[Irving]

Yeah, you did the right thing pulling her out. Don't want a harassment of wildlife ticket or something.

[buffalobo]

Am sure the other campers/hikers/fishermen were happy when we hooked onto the travel trailer to head out.

Reba was a bit of a challenge for everyone while we were there. Everybody was good natured and helped with her socialization training but you could tell after 4 days they were glad to see us go.

[William]

CN you know what this flower is? Neighbor was asking and I knew it was a bush.

The leaf reminds me of a salvia, the flower a little less so but I don't think that's right. Do you have a larger picture of the plant?

[ray1970]

That?s not a flower. It?s a bee.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Russian Sage perhaps?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Had a really good time fishing and hiking last several days at State Forest state park.

Mrs bo killed it fishing and we now have trout in the freezer, destined for the smoker.

Right on, Man! Cool to hear that you and Mama had a great time, and that she was the Fish-Whisperer.... :)

[OtterbatHellcat]

I seem to have left my botany degree in my other pants.

I think my first guess is incorrect, however, I am curious if someone could shed light on the variety you have. I'm interested in attracting pollinators and helping them out if I can.

How ya doin, William?

[William]

Have tons of bumblebees this year. What's up OBC?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Friday be a coming.

Neato.

Tons o stuff to do this weekend.....hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Have tons of bumblebees this year. What's up OBC?

That's great Man.

Just tryin to get the ambulance back up runnin, and keep working on the truck after that.

[William]

How far along on the truck? I still have a dead sports car up on jack stands in my garage.

[Great-Kazoo]

range 30, yeah!

[Gman]

Could the plant be Catmint? I think the leaves may be too narrow for that.

Hard to tell without a clear shot of the leaf shape. Maybe a pic between a blurry bee and 10 feet away?

Heh, yeah the 10 feet away one was pretty bad.

[ChickNorris]

It looks to be a Caryopteris (unknown grower's variety but I can find out the specific name if you'd like) which is in the Lamiaceae family.

Salvia is also a Lamiaceae as well as sage (obc) & catmint (gman).

[BuffCyclist]

Ho

[BuffCyclist]

You's a ho...

Hello Stranger.

[BuffCyclist]

Hello Stranger.

Hey! Been a while. Had to disappear because life got hectic after the move, and because I couldn't stand not going to the range anymore and that bummed me out, so I tried didn't want the daily reminder... [Cry]

I still haven't gone, I'm just trying to hock some of my schtuff to you all...

[Gman]

How much server time is being wasted to this?!


Just enough.

Yeah CN, the leaf serrations aren't right for Catmint. The flowering structures are close.

I think you're on the money with some type of Bluebeard Caryopteris.

[Irving]

Ho

Wondering if you'd stop by in here. Did you get a chance to catch up on this thread?

[BuffCyclist]

Wondering if you'd stop by in here. Did you get a chance to catch up on this thread?

Totally... I caught up on ~5-yrs of Post Ho posts in a matter of hours. Set a world record in the process too!

[ChickNorris]

Perhaps he thought you lurked about for a bit prior to.


Lurker

[ChickNorris]

schtuff hocker...

& you didnt even bring flowers or rope.

[ChickNorris]

Wait... whut?

[BuffCyclist]

Lurker

Nah, he probably saw my 2 posts trying to sell stuff and wanted to see if I was just selling or being friendly too.

[BuffCyclist]

[Flower][JRope]

There... better?

[ChickNorris]

Oh I like you so far. [werdo]



Glad you came back for a visit.

[Erni]

Yieppie! Wife finally agreed to cancel directv. Switching to hulu, already have netflix, and prime.
Still waaaaayyyyy cheaper than directv.
Now I need to add another AP to the network snd a new hulu box. Luckily I planned for another AP on the ubiquity network.
UAP-AC, just need to figure out which one to roll with.

[ChickNorris]

Why the hiatus?

More specific than it made me miss it...please. I see so many reoccurring names in old posts who've all but disappeared & Ive always wanted to know...

Well, I was active here when I lived in CO. Then I moved to far southern NM for a job and worked nights. I was extremely active on here at nights while observing. Then I was poached for a job and moved to VA. When I got here, I didn't have access to a shooting range and began to miss it. I slowly sold off my reloading gear and the more I hung out here, the sadder I got because you all could go shooting and I couldn't. I decided I didn't need that kind of negativity in my life, so I went cold turkey.

[Gman]

You've had your hands full. Good luck with the spine surgery recovery.

[ChickNorris]

[ChickNorris]

It's a family site so I won't press to your meaning & verbiage in the very last sentence.

;-)

[BuffCyclist]

I said In...

[BuffCyclist]

[ChickNorris]

You misunderstood, I wasn't asking for an amend.

[BuffCyclist]

Meh, it's been a while since I've been here, so better safe than sorry. I'd hate to be banned over a post in the Post Whore thread...

[ChickNorris]

For that would have to be a most egregious post indeed.

[ChickNorris]

Sometimes I can see echos of people who have banned. When someone quotes them for a response... I've even seen a few of those moments scrubbed clean too.

[ChickNorris]

There. As close to immortal as one can be without the aforementioned & now amended 'bite'

[buffalobo]

BC is our resident Astromericist(as proclaimed by me) and engineered a radio telescope(I believe) and it was deployed to observatory in Chile.

Some of the physics he and HB used to discuss made my head hurt and I have a pretty strong background in math for a redneck.

[buffalobo]

HoHoverines!

Cool to see you cruise through.

[BuffCyclist]

Close buffalobo, I re-engineered and built a second version of an infrared instrument that attaches to the back end of a telescope via fiber optics (technically, the 4,000-lb instrument was installed in the basement and connects to the telescope via a 35-m length of 300 fiber optics, each which get their own target).

I'm re-orienting my career towards the engineering, specifically R&D, hence the grad school.

[Erni]

BC that is indeed nice. Kids and spine and grad school eqyals no sleep.
So are you now our resident telescope expert?

[BuffCyclist]

Definitely not an expert by any means, but I've worked on at least half a dozen telescopes measuring 1-m up to 3.5-m.

Now I pretty much just design and build instruments for the telescopes. I much prefer the designing/building aspect of astronomy than the data-reduction aspect.

[Erni]

Yey, got the noped started. Not a spelling error, it has no pedals therefore noped.
I think the 90 deg turn on the coil wire was causing problems, and also the float got stuck. Pulled elbow and did a little dielectic grease. Pulled carb and found nothing there, so maybe a small piece of dirt from the tank. Put it together, did a running start and it fired up and ran. Will need more tuning but at least I dont have to hunt down exotic CDI parts.
Next will be clean the tank, get reserve setting wirking, then clean and get oul injection fixed, oh and need an air filter sponge.
I might actually keep this thing, or maybe not...

[OtterbatHellcat]

How far along on the truck? I still have a dead sports car up on jack stands in my garage.

All the differential components have been media blasted and painted awaiting the return of the diffs from the rebuild shop. The nerf bars are still at powder coating, and tomorrow I'll get the t-case out and blasted before it gets rebuilt next week.

I had some delay when the transmission in the ambulance blew up last weekend, but it got reinstalled today and it works and runs better than before, so that's good.

Awsome. I want to add raspi control and remote viewing to my cheap meade telescope. It's always way too cold outside when the sky is clear in winter.
It has the meade go to mechanism, just need to figure out the protocol to comand it, learn programming, and get stellaris running on the pie or the remote pc. You know easy stuff. [emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24]

[OtterbatHellcat]

BC !!!!

Holy hell, Man! Good to see ya. Sorry to hear about the back issues and I hope that all gets gooder soon.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Wasn't that you that posted the video cutting out the attic for the fan, and you stuck your head out when you shoved the debris down?

I remember that being particularly hilarious.

[BuffCyclist]

Hey ya OBC... er should I say OBHC. [Eek3]

When did you pick up the 'H'?

Thanks, gettin' better day by day!

[BuffCyclist]

Wasn't that you that posted the video cutting out the attic for the fan, and you stuck your head out when you shoved the debris down?

HA! Yea, that was me! I deleted it from youtube, but I'll see if I can find it and re-upload it for the new Hos!

[OtterbatHellcat]

Glad to hear that...

There was a brief period when I changed my username to a meme memorable for racing a dodge challenger from Denver to san Francisco ….from the movie Vanishing Point. I dig the Hellcat performance line that dodge offers.

It started as a nickname that rotated up to username as well. Everyone's always known me as obc anyways, so it's all good.

[OtterbatHellcat]

HA! Yea, that was me! I deleted it from youtube, but I'll see if I can find it and re-upload it for the new Hos!

I remember laughing so hard at that, it was funny as hell.

It's really good to see you hanging here again. :)

[OtterbatHellcat]

20,000………..Woo Hoooo

[ChickNorris]

20,000………..Woo Hoooo

Nice

[OtterbatHellcat]

Heya CN.

...and Erni, Irving as well, I wasn't ignoring you guys just surprised to see BC again. We had a lot of fun back then and it sucks when members vanish. I understand the various reasons and such, still sucks though.

[ChickNorris]

Its official. BC & OBC both made it so...

Word of the day: Suck

Like peewee's playhouse

[OtterbatHellcat]

Might hit up the local hood fair tonight.....get a dog/burger, beer, live music, and stuff.

[ChickNorris]

BC, did you remember your password after all this time?

[BuffCyclist]

BC, did you remember your password after all this time?

Yes... yes I did. And no, it's not a word or easy to remember. I just have a memory for totally random passwords, like this one:

@rSXyPtLs6WF9*0#

FYI: That is totally NOT my password... Don't try it... I'll know... [Sofa]

[ChickNorris]

I see what you did there

[OtterbatHellcat]

@rSXyPtLs6WF9*0#

Hey, that's my phone password. Are you a hacker now? wth?

Thanks for the detective work. Will have to learn to pronounce Caryopteris.

[William]

Contradicts the word of the day but sounds fun.

I will remember blue beard.

[ChickNorris]

I will remember blue beard.

To be clear, I did not identify it as 'blue beard'. Just sayin.

[William]

Roger that.

[William]

I will learn to pronounce the correct name. Or a close approximation and let my mom correct me.

[ChickNorris]

I liked my haiku.

[William]

This one?

Yep. Only haiku I've written in recent memory.

[William]

That was a good one. Gn CN.

Was, till screen name change.

[ChickNorris]

Smothered Santiago Saturday

[ray1970]

Sounds like a good idea. Either that or Renegade Burrito.

[ChickNorris]

Was a squirrel in the maple this morning. First one I've seen in almost 2 weeks.

[Great-Kazoo]

Oh No time to move.


Seems progress is coming to this part o town. The post office sent notices, yesterday, that they're removing the cluster mail boxes down the road. Now have to provide an actual mail box in front of ones house / property. No bigger than, and set X here so their delivery person can deliver the mail. With out the need to get out of their vehicle and be able to drive away. Not having to back up, do a u turn or any other exit, just drive up then away. Which sounds great. Till you look and see every property has culverts running in front of them. As well as utilities in the same area. Guess i'll be putting a brick and rubber band on a pole in the street.

Of course being USPS who has a perfect record of on time deliveries. Said the cluster boxes will be taken out, Friday, as in the 9th ! The PO is going to look like a scene out of Frankensteen this morning.

[ChickNorris]

That seems inefficient to me.

[Great-Kazoo]

That seems inefficient to me.

The Post office inefficient [ROFL3]


I "think" it has something to do with usps also delivering amazon packages. Some i know are real heavy. Figure it's easier to pick up package at the PO rather than some subcontract delivery person hurting them self. Of course knowing how many windows a PO has, versus the amount of employees actually working them. We shall see how many people are in line daily to get their boxes.

[Great-Kazoo]

car parts junk yards run day.

[ChickNorris]

[Gman]

I wonder how many times those mailboxes are going to get run over?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Got the t-case removed and blasted today ready to drop off on Monday for rebuild. Also got the front spring rear shackles drilled out, painted and installed. I think I gained more lift from that than I initially anticipated.

[ChickNorris]

Progress : )

[OtterbatHellcat]

Decided to do round two at the bunghole festival tonight. It was a great fireworks show last night, and the music sounds better tonight from here anyways. Missed a blues band that was playing about an hour ago.

Sucked to find out that the tickets (card) thing was only good for rides.... SOAB. Food and beverages IS cash.

We gave the $60 card to a family of four, two cute little girls...I hope they had fun.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Heya, CN.

[Irving]

If it's such a bunghole festival, why would you go back?

[Great-Kazoo]

I wonder how many times those mailboxes are going to get run over?

Well considering i'm dropping it on the soft side of a culvert, with a 14" drop off. I doubt if anyone tries it they'll get far.

[Great-Kazoo]

He's down with the brown?



Kind of shitty to say something like that. But hey, sometimes funny stinks.

[ChickNorris]

Night folks

[Gman]

G'night!

[Great-Kazoo]

Is the nightmare black

or are the windows painted ?

[jreifsch80]

It's 11:59 on Radio Free America; this is Uncle Sam, with music, and the truth until dawn. Right now I've got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zone: "the chair is against the wall, the chair is against the wall"

[OtterbatHellcat]

If it's such a bunghole festival, why would you go back?

Loose reference to general public gatherings. The fireworks show was a little better than the previous night was, and we'll never be here for this event again. Likely the last event in Colorado that we will have attended.

[OtterbatHellcat]

John has a long mustache.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Is the nightmare black

Clouds are like dreams...floating across a sky blue mind.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Oh, forgot to mention looking at all the tits. There were many.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Somebody didn't make the donuts.

wtf.

9 News....Kylie Bearse.

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.

Had to google her. We must have different taste in women. She?s okay but didn?t have the hubba hubba factor for me.

Be careful, they travel in pairs.

Well considering i'm dropping it on the soft side of a culvert, with a 14" drop off. I doubt if anyone tries it they'll get far.

Since this was still in my head when I went to bed, I woke up remembering a story from someone I knew. They had a bus stop in front of their house. Riders would lounge on their front porch and leave their litter and their mailbox was being repeatedly knocked over by the bus swinging in for the stop. They repeatedly complained to the transit authority which did absolutely no good. They were so frustrated by the repeated inaction that they decided to fight back.

They used drilling pipe anchored in 4 feet of concrete for their mailbox post. Filled that pipe with concrete for good measure. Welded a steel plate on top that was the inside dimension of a standard mailbox base and attached the mailbox to the plate.

The next time the bus pulled in at an angle that would have normally knocked over the mailbox, the steel plate base cut a huge gash down the side of the bus. They quickly relocated the bus stop.

[Gman]

9 News....Kylie Bearse.

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba.

I flipped over to 9. She's the weather gal. Does nothing for me, but if she trips your trigger...

Their female anchor has an annoying voice. Very nasal.

[ChickNorris]

This was a brick morning & then some. Fun fun.

Think I need one of them little loader gizmo doodads.

[Great-Kazoo]

They definitely make loading the 22 mags much easier.

I met the lowest threshold for fabrication and am pretty happy about it. Except for the grinding and the welding, my daughter did everything else, turned every bolt, including using the flap disk to grind the paint off. Also, I thought I had black paint sitting around. I guess not. First actual weld on something. I should have practiced a bit first, hope it holds together.

When I do some more stuff to it, I can start a modifying a trail thread and see all the cool stuff everyone else does.

Not bad. You hit them perches with a hammer to see if they stay on? What wire setting and amperage you use? That the 120A welder?

[Great-Kazoo]

I don't know what that means

I couldn't find the HKS speed loader. So i took a magpul AR base plate, cut it out to look something like this.

https://www.amazon.com/MakerShot-Simple-Loader-Single-Magazine/dp/B00UJ23LYG/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=ruger+22%2F45+magazine+loader&qid=1565590550&s=gateway&sr=8-15

Only i left some "ears" on the inside to catch the thumb button on the mag. When i can't find something in my piles of crap. I'll see what's laying around to fab something up that works, sometimes.

[Irving]

Not bad. You hit them perches with a hammer to see if they stay on? What wire setting and amperage you use? That the 120A welder?

Well it's the 210, but I haven't made the proper extension cord to for my 220v outlet yet, so I was using it 110v. The chart on the side stops at 7/50 for slightly thinner metal. A wire feed speed of 50 never works for me though, so I bumped it down to 30.

[Gman]

This was a brick morning & then some. Fun fun.

Think I need one of them little loader gizmo doodads.
My 10/22 is a bullet hose. I bought one of those hand crank loaders and it works pretty well. Better than pushing them in one at a time.

[ChickNorris]

I also need more magazines. Disrupts the flow to have to stop & load after 30 rds.


A LOT MORE

[Gman]

I haven't bought 22 mags in a long while, and some new ones have been released that I'd like to acquire. Are rimfire mags exempted from the capacity limits? I can't find that anywhere in the limits, only tubular magazines attached to the rifle.

[MrAK]

It’s my understanding that rimfire (22cal or smaller) standard cap mags are not regulated.

[MrAK]

Never mind, I can’t seem to find what I have previously seen that stated rimfire was exempt. Seems the only thing I can find on a state website makes reference to tubular magazines in regards to rimfire exemptions.

[CS1983]

It is not my understanding that detachable mags are exempt based on cartridge type. Hence, one will not find .22lr AR mags for sale beyond 15 rounds in Colorado.

[ChickNorris]

Think y'all mistook my statement about '30' rounds for a single magazine.

ANY detachable mag, regardless of caliber, is regulated.

If you live in CO. Myself, doesn't matter. I have piles of BDM mags collecting dust.

Special shout out to Stuart for helping me out and explaining the roofing biz to me like I'm slow. Thank you.

[Irving]

No problem, glad to help and gladder that you don't need a new roof.

What's your AirBnB idea?

[Erni]

Found a rural property, which has some acerage. Its under contract now, but I have my old school realtor checking to see if a backup offer makes sense from an effort and $ point. The house on that property is a bit small and old so needs lots of work, thus I think their price is a bit high. Regardless, its at a price point that the property will need to work and generate a cash flow, especially with kids college bound in a few years. Also the HOA life is not for us, several neighbors are a pain, and I want a large arse shop for the hands on hobbies.
I was thinking of doing a rural/farmish b&b that would cater to weekenders who love LoDo but want to pretend to live in the country for a day or two.

[ray1970]

I?ve been eyeballing property in Wyoming. There?s a 160 acre property that might make a decent camp site for now and maybe come retirement time I?ll build a homestead.

[Irving]

That's a really good idea actually. I also want a more rural property, for most of the same reasons, but never thought about getting enough land to build a money making structure right on site.

[Erni]

Right. I was thinking about this the other day as I was working my but off keeping the house pretty. Why am I working for my house and neighbors, why isn't the house working for me?

[Erni]

Also this is silly, but I dream of having a property with a nice old school red barn and a work shop with a 2 post lift. Cause 'Merica!

[Irving]

I want a barndominium. 72'x72'. The bottom would be an enormous work shop, even if I used half of it for something like a theater or something. Then, the top floor would be finished for living and would be larger than the house I'm currently living in.

I have a friend that lives on basically a farm in Montana. When he brings his whole family out here, he has people stay at his place on the cheap as long as they maintain all the animals.

[Erni]

Damn. 5k feet of shop plus 5k feet of house. That thing would be glorious!

Closest neighbor is 100 yds from our place. This is the 300' long fence that separates the property. Throw in they have 40' of trees between the fence line and their house. it works

We have always admired their set up.

[Great-Kazoo]

My issue with them is work space. Sure you have 3-5K plus of work shop. Unless you have awesome ventilation forget about running welders, vehicles, road testing hand loads, etc with a living space over your head.

[Great-Kazoo]

Jim, you lost me at green.

Thanks. That's just a 1 ac lot. We had the shop built then stuffed it with trip hazards. There's still another building's worth of who knows what i need to find room for in the shop.

[Irving]

I feel like barns are set up with 12' sections and a door between sections with an open window, or the main barn doors open would be plenty of ventilation. I do fantasize about a bunch of little shop areas partitioned off as part of a larger space.

Nice, till winter comes. You could section it in 1/2 or 3rd's

Vehicles one side, welding / fab the other and center a general fix, it hang out.

[buffalobo]

Their living quarters are built at one end, single story and part protrudes from the larger structure. Then they have lite workshops with storage above buffering from large barn area and heavier shop.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I wouldn't stress about the welding Irving. If you don't do it every day with different thickness and heat/speeds....you're not going to be great at it.

If your weld area is clean and you have enough heat and wire speed for your task, it will be strong enough. Welding is an art, and I wish I were better at it myself....I just don't do it often enough.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Heya, Lobo !

[OtterbatHellcat]

I flipped over to 9. She's the weather gal. Does nothing for me, but if she trips your trigger...

Their female anchor has an annoying voice. Very nasal.

So, you're saying I've got a chance. I'll send a well written email, that should do it.

The voice you mention is Liz Kotalik I think.

Did drop off the t-case tonight, and the powder coating should be done tomorrow or Wednesday.

Didn't hear back from the driveline shop though.

That barn roof requires a taller ladder than usual to get on. Now you'll have to access from the rake.

[OtterbatHellcat]

The pic looked good to me, good penetration it seemed.

When you get really confident about welding looking down at your work, you'll get pissed off when you try to weld up. It sucks with wire feed.

All of it is another skill to be happy about when you get it down and do it good. :)

[Irving]

Like everyone learning something new, I have fantasies of having some latent, untapped skill to develop. In reality, I just want to have serviceable welds so I can make more shit.

[OtterbatHellcat]

You very well may have that talent, and yes....it's nice to be able to make shit.

[Gman]

It's funny you guys are talking about a 'barndominium'. Was driving up from Florissant yesterday afternoon and I-25 was a mess. Decided to drive up Perry Park Road into Sedalia. Mentioned to the wife that I just saw a barn that had 2 satellite dishes on it. I had to wonder if they were renting rooms in the barn or something.

[Irving]

I think it is something that is increasing in popularity. I did a roof inspection on one a few years ago. That was a scary one because it needed a 40 ladder and I had to access from the rake. I'm sure I've posted a picture, but who knows if I can find it.

[Irving]

*IF* I made it the top of the ladder, there's no way my body would let me transition to the roof. Nope. No chance, no way. Not gonna' happen.

[Great-Kazoo]

Like everyone learning something new, I have fantasies of having some latent, untapped skill to develop. In reality, I just want to have serviceable welds so I can make more shit.

Watch some vids. But also get some flat plate and practice welding them together. Butt, angle, vertical. Basic stuff that if practiced long enough become a passing thought. Then cut it in half to see how good or bad each weld penetrated.

You might consider a CC intro to welding class at night.

Most people can get onto the roof okay, it's the transition off that's difficult.

I've cut one practice piece, and even bought some Naval Jelly, but my prep wasn't good enough to see the weld nugget penetration. I can see where I have a tiny gap in the corner though, so know I can do better. I also need to make an extension cord with the proper plugs to use the 220.

I've watched some Welding Tips and Tricks on YouTube, but that was back when I had more time.

[BuffCyclist]

She (I) cast out a 3.5" crawbug on a Texas rig (with the weight unpegged). She's super impatient with letting it sit, so she'd keep reeling it in, let it sit for 1/4-second, then reel.

I think she was more shocked than the fish was!

Would have been a hoot to see her land it at 5yrs old.

Pic?

[BuffCyclist]

Yup, exactly that. Just when I've been bored too with no bites and decided to quickly reel in to pack it up, I get bites, which then convinces me to stay longer... it's a vicious cycle!

She did the reeling, I held the rod as she was about to lose it to the water lol. What's best, it was her FIRST time going out fishing. She hasn't stopped talking about it, so I think, like the pun, that she's hooked!

A tornado came through town last week and most of the windows are broken out as well.

[ChickNorris]

Beetle pic?

[Irving]

Common(?) black beetle. I don't have pics to upload out in the middle of nowhere, plus I haven't taken any because I've been throwing them out.

[ChickNorris]

No pics. Got it.


Goodnight folks

[Irving]

Found some more, pics coming.

[Irving]

Uncooperative beetle wouldn't hold still.

[Great-Kazoo]

I can?t help you on those items (I rarely buy or sell anything), but Kazoo probably can.

Me?

[Great-Kazoo]

What a fukin day.

Feels like i've spent most of it trying to keep fish from drowning

[BuffCyclist]

Me?

Oh mysterious, wise, and Great Kazoo: Why can't I sell my stuff? I've been out of firearms world for a few years, but I didn't think my items (Larue LT129 and LE Wilson Case Trimmer) were priced too high. Are they?

Yes & no.

They're not selling for any price. While the optic those are for are nice units. IMO they have fallen out of favor, being replaced by the much lower priced. Or as we see all the time PRICED REDUCED Sig Romeo for (LIMITED TIME) $109 - $119 FREE SHIPPING! RDS

Bummer! Should have sold it years ago then!

Oh well, perhaps when I am able to get to my, also NIB Aimpoint Pro, to sell that, I'll include the Larue Mount as a bonus to possibly get me a little more total (one of these combos just sold on arfcom for $500; I'd probably sell it for $400-$450 just to be done with it).

That's the extremely poisonous Grim Reaper Beetle.

...just kidding. Difficult to tell from the pics, but looks like it could be a Black Blister Beetle - Epicauta pensylvanica.

After crickets those are Reba's favorite.

Drives the wife crazy that "princess" eats almost every bug she comes across.

[Gman]

I used to watch feral cats catch and eat bugs at night under parking lot lamps. It's protein.

Random Factoid: I had an uncle that was a famous entomologist that focused on beetles - https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/John-Chemsak-UC-Berkeley-entomology-professor-2539492.php

[wctriumph]

One of our cats absolutely loves Miller moths.

[Gman]

Come to think of it, I don't remember a whole lot of Miller Moths being around this year.

[buffalobo]

Lucky this year, the swarm appears to have been caught in the late winter weather during their migration.

In a bad season we use a shop vac to suck the bastages in. We would kill 150+ a day between shop vac and wife's home made traps.

Big time drag.

I'd look to see how long it was listed for. Just because it sold, doesn't mean the seller got the posted asking price. Especially if it was on fora week or so.

[BuffCyclist]

Fair enough. It was marked sold on 7/16. Lots of them for sale at $300-350. Mine is brand new (mounted but never fired), so including the Larue mount it might sell at that range. Might...

Tornado came through town and damaged a bunch of stuff. Some people got hail, some got wind, some got both. In this case, the wind pulled this 1,250 gal water tank out of the truck and dropped it on the ground.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Your new skin is interesting, CN.

I've been thinking about a change as well.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Got the rear diff back late today and got it bolted in and started getting it back together. The front is supposed to come back tomorrow...more to do up there for sure.

Did pick up the powder coat stuff on the way home as well. Gonna be busy for a while....lol.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Anyone with psycho parents might appreciate having to deal with psychosis over the phone AND in charge of their finances as well. Good times there for sure.

[Irving]

I worked a lot today and can no longer concentrate on the paper work. I need to sleep.

I actually got sun burnt today. I usually don't even think about it because I'm only outside for like 30 minutes at a time for maybe up to two hours tops. Today I was inspecting for almost 10 hours though. I need to drink more water.

Saw more than one Praying Mantis though, so that was a plus.

Yep.
