My retired service dog has been deteriorating & we took him to the 2nd best veterinary college/hospital in the nation

He had some kind of deteriorating nerve condition along the lines of ALS in humans 

Sine then he bonded with the wife who took over feeding him & the daughter as she spoiled him rotten 

Got to the point he could not walk 20 feet & was stumbling and falling 

The Vet came to the house….he was laying in his favourite spot with his head on the daughters lap…..she had just fed him his favourite people food McDonald’s hamburger & chicken nuggets 

He passed peacefully and hopefully at rest now 

This is the hardest part of owing pets, they trust and love you unconditionally &

It’s a state of the art range, all indoor ranges, climate controlled and they allow you to shoot anything you can fit in the doors as long as it’s not armor piercing or incendiary ammo 

2-100 yard ranges, 2-50 yard ranges and 2-25 yard ranges 

Plus steel bobber range for handguns with tangible ammo, a simulation range with over 2k different scenarios or different scenes, any handgun with your own ammo or a specialty gun that only makes noise and recoils like the real deal 

You birth month you get 25rd of 45/70 and a gargling gun…monthly free rentals of house guns, some full auto (house ammo only) 

You can book lanes on line, any open range

Membership was 50% off, so it’s $200 a year, $45 a month, 12 free guest passes & then only $10 a pass as many as I want 

A huge gunshop, in house gunsmith, training classes monthly as well as matches & all kinds of crap 

Hopefully my goal is shooting once or twice a week. Both rifles/shotguns & handguns 

Talked a brother from another mother into joining also….as his wife wants to do more shooting & loves the climate controlled range vs the 100* it was today 

Now to inventory 9mm & 45 ACP and go from there

Gearing up for coyote calling and evidently lost my old notes. I remember my 6.5 Grendel Bartlein barrel liking the 100gr Hornady Amax over around 30 grs of 8028 xbr so I fired up quick load and started generating numbers. COAL for that bullet in that barrel is 2.222" so I put that number in. Worked up a list getting to 51,000 psi and something didn't look right, it showed a seating depth of only .178". 
After double checking things I find QL shows that bullet as being .88" long, not the 1.05 it really is. Adjusted seating depth to correct and it quickly went way over saami max pressures. Not a big deal in a bolt gun, but way too high for the ar15.

But minus a thyroid gland, if the hospital food does not kill me……thyroid was bad, all benign but almost had to crack my chest to get it out, lots of digging & moving pieces parts around to get everything out 

It’s thought agent orange dioxins had a large part to play 

Boiled salmon with pinapple chutney 



Green chili covered burrito, no taters



Scar……

That this is even a question tells me that a lot of judges and a whole lot of politicians need to be used as tree decorations. If the Constitution had any teeth, those who wrote the laws, voted for the laws, signed the laws, and ruled on the laws would be thrown out of office and handed over to The People for proper disposal.

Hi guys...I hate to even put this out there but it is that time of the year again...all the server fee's and domain charges came due!  I slapped them on my credit card and we are good for another year but I just wanted to see if anyone wanted to help out with a donation again this year?  If you don't want to, can't afford it or just can't for what ever reason...it is perfectly fine!  I completely understand!  Donations are completely optional!!

I started the forum and I will keep it going as long as I can but it is a great feeling when we get a few donations to help lessen the burden.  The bad part is that there are really only a few active members here with less than a dozen posts per week.  It's hard to expect much help and again...I don't!  If you can...I super appreciate it and I will always be grateful!  But if you can't you can't and I am fine with that! So please do not feel obligated to donate!  I just wanted to post up the option in case anyone wanted to!  

Thanks again!
