My wife ain’t happy now .just got done ordering the 23’ vette,black with red leather .He said I may get it come fall early winter .What an impulse buy LOL.

shoveled a bunch of wet snow last night . I should have stood my ground with snowman instead of truck. This sum bitch was a solid block of ice this morning.

I'll credit this to my sister who told me this last week: "60 may be the new 40, but 10pm is the new midnight"

Doe “front tenderloins” over stir-fry noodles and broccoli.

40 ? Mine was actually in my 20’s . I married young (I was only 20 couldn’t legally drink at my own wedding) . I knew I wanted a family house etc. at a young age and my friends just wanted to party. So I parted ways early and have no regrets doing so .

It’s a 22 Bighorn Sport with the Hemi, tow package and a couple of other upgrades.

Venison goulash with hot Italian sausages.

quick-n-dirty everyday grub. Taters, corn and venison in a 50 cent plastic bowl that an unnamed person calls my "dog dish".. hey, sometimes you make it fancy and other times you just eat. BTW, they tell me meat prices are up, I wouldn't know.

it intimidates the other guys at the bass tournament.....this guy means business!

We have our own path to follow now. Luckily, I find myself with my kids doing the things I used to do with my buddies. I'm also fortunate to have such an amazing supportive wife.

Life and personal responsibilities make these changes. I'm 35 now.. I made a TON of friendships over the years through schooling, work, play, family ties and more.. The real reasons people "Disappear" or become lame may never come to the surface. I really miss hanging and doing things with all my good friends, the ones i do still see are typically spent in the hours of darkness calling Cheese Hounds, occassionally chasing spring thunder or the elusives in Fall. Most people dont know and will never understand, but my Special Needs son, Is our #1 priority. And along with him being our priority, my wife has health issues as well.. These two keep me from doing anything anymore especially this time of year. and I cant rule out, my other 2 children who get neglected many times due to my first two priorites.. then trhow work and life on top of that.. Some do become very lame, that cant be denied.. but sometimes there's more to the story than we know.. or think we know..

I did a trade in and worked a deal in an hour tonight. In the end a little haggle on price, a fair amount of negotiation on the trade, a bit of a rebate. What a crazy time to buy a car; they gave me 10% more then I paid for a 2015 vehicle I have owned just over a year and put 22K miles on.I put three oil changes and an inspection into it. Work covered the insurance and paid for the mileage. First time I ever made money on a car, Its nuts. Good luck with new ride.

Kids request. Buffalo chicken nachos with lettuce tomato Bleu cheese sour cream fresh salsa and cowboy candy candied jalapenos.

Did you ever try to put out a house fire by pissing on it ? In NYC, fighting the tide of stupidity is futile.

Finally…..common sense is prevailing! What we’re doing is obviously not working!!!

Corned venison meal. It coulda used one more day in the brine and one more hour on the stove… but I’m inpatient. Pumped for hash with the leftovers this weekend.

It doesn't show much fear which is why {'m trying not to catch it.

I think Trump was a dink, but i loved his policies! Gas up 2 cents yesterday and 2 more cents today. Just raised my price another 5 cents. Going up so fast, it's hard to keep up.

I've always been lame, turning 40 last year had nothing to do with it. I've always preferred hanging out at a small house party versus going to a bar. I use to go to a lot of shows and concerts when I was younger but that was also when I worked an evening shift and went right from work to the event and still got 6-8 hours of sleep. I still hang out with the same core group of friends but now instead of every other weekend it's every other month and instead of a bar it's at some ones house for dinner and usually with everyone's kids there as well. I wouldn't change a thing about it. Sure the conversations can be lame like what shows are we watching or how much we are paying for cell phone's but in the end we still bust balls pretty good.

So they should buy billions in equipment for the 6" of snow they get a year and melts a day or two later? I wouldn't vote for that. And yes, this state has and probably always will overspend. There are plenty of states that get snow that have way lower taxes than us. I would be willing to bet all of them do....

Yes my taxes went down and yes i own my house. Well the bank and I. I live upstate, my taxes aren't high enough for Salt to matter...and why should the rest of the country pay for our ridiculous taxes here in this overspending state...

Huh? Hurt the middle class???? My taxes went down, gas prices were way down and we didn't have runaway inflation. How the heck did he hurt the middle class. I am the very definition of middle class and i am being hurt NOW!

I think what you described is much more common; people who maintain large circles later in life are the exception to the rule. At least in my opinion. It is hard to build friendships as one ages. Guys are weird sometimes - look at all the same responses here, yet nothing really done about it. It's who we are as a species, maybe. What I have learned as my circles have shrunk and changed, is that we tend to value quality over quantity. Meaning, we may only get together on rare occasions but it's usually for a big reason. Bills game for example. A good friend of mine and I have only been able to get together in person for a playoff game three of the past four seasons. JAX, HOU, and BUF (2020 covid aside). He moved to Florida last spring. We've "lived it up" each time. He flew up for this past weekend's game. It's almost to the point where we don't even plan it, and now we just expect that we're going to be going to the first round game. Outside of that, I haven't been able to connect with him since he moved to FL. But, we pick up right where we leave off. But, guys are guys. We're dumb sometimes. We take too much pride in driving ourselves into the ground like its penance, once we reach the age of "adulthood." It's ok to get old and still have fun with friends from time to time and not be made to feel like you're greedy or irresponsible for doing so.

My life is good because of my actions based on opportunities presented for me. I will take credit for my life, both good and bad. I think America was better off with Trump, then with Biden, but my daily life is the same. Blaming others is an excuse for failure. Too much worrying about others is unhealthy.

Election integrity is the answer to this problem. There were too many things changed by the left in the 2020 election, too many issues regarding fraud, illegal ballots and vote counting, to unequivocally say it was legit. Just looking at who supposedly won should be enough to give anyone pause. The Democrats currently oppose voter ID, but demand it for a COVID test. They say count every vote, but protest when told to only count every legal vote. They demand unverifiable mail in ballots, in addition to already trusted absentee ballots. How do people not see this is a desire to cheat? The Democrats are currently trying to push a "voter's rights" bill through that would allow all of those issues to continue forever and keep them in power forever. They claim they are working to stop voter suppression, yet have never been able to prove anyone has ever been prevented from voting by any of the current laws. That "voter's right" bill is a corruption of voting rights and it will actually nullify opposing legal votes by cancelling them out with illegal ones. That would destroy the country right there. That's not doom and gloom. That's a fact.

My thoughts going along with what most people are saying.. as I get older, family, work and life tend to get in the way of getting out like I used to. Part of the change in dynamic is on me though. As I get older (only 40..), my preferences change. I've got a buddy who's mid-40's and single and still likes to get out to catch a band as often as he can. He'll call me up on an hour's notice. I tend to decline because I need to find a babysitter and can't on an hour's notice. My wife could watch the kids, but depending on how she's feeling, that's not always an option. Along with that though, between the babysitter, food and booze, I'm looking at spending $150-200 bucks on a band that I probably don't like (usually 80's cover bands), staying up past my sleepy time, and losing half of the next day because I went out the night before. That's just not me anymore. Another aspect of the live shows though is that my taste in music has changed. When I was in high school, I went to hundreds, maybe thousands of shows. I went to everything from garage punk at the Water Street Music Hall to the Warped Tour at LaSalle Park to Woodstock at Griffis AFB. If it was a live show and was in WNY, I was there. Now I'd rather head over to SPAC or CMAC for Rascall Flats, Little Big Town or Toby Keith. Tastes change, people change. It's life.

Maybe buy some of these delicious Gummies advertised here and like snake oil everyone will be full of energy again!

Every red blooded American who isn't against stopping this attack on US history. History happened. You don't try to eliminate it. It is there for all to learn from. Destroying it is an attempt to change the truth, by forces that wish to control the public's mindset. It's what every Communist regime around the world has always done when it was seeking to come to power. It's evil.

That's what good Dads do! Awesome work! Sent from my SM-A716V using Tapatalk

Age, life, family duties and priorities change all the time. I am a loner now too with friends who are on only hi/hello basis.

Just added 80 grain Barnes TTSX bullets(50) from Midway along with 58 grain Hornady vmax bullets(100) to our list of materials. This adventure is coming along nicely. Hopefully we will have a few loads worked up by mid February once all the supplies arrive. Sent from my SM-A716V using Tapatalk

I had 11 moose sightings this deer season. There’s more Moses than deer on all of my cousins trail cameras every year. In maine I feel like the moose tend to stay lower in the adks I see most all of them up high. I also think that’s why there’s more moose than they realize, they’re not nearly as visible.

Thanks, I am fine. I am bored as hell. I discovered Instacart!

Color is usually my last concern when truck shopping also, this time I ended up with black, I wanted the granite crystal but couldn't find a package I wanted in that color. I love a black vehicle when they're shined up, problem is it lasts for 20 minutes. My Tundra was silver and that truck would hide a lot of filth, but never looked as good when it was polished either. The boat matching comment is funny because I didn't even think about that but when I got the truck home I realized they matched also... I still have more to do to mine, window tint, wheels, grille/brush guard, considering a 4" suspension lift. The fun in owning trucks is making it your own. Sent from my moto g fast using Tapatalk

That was just a peak ,I didnt go full on Frank the tank ... or did i?

You can’t buy any Pappy or pretty much anything rare or collectible, at the distillery or their shops .

Blanton's and Pappy are distilled by Buffalo Trace in Frankfort.. Many of the distilleries are in a 20 mile radius, so easy to hit a few in a day (with dd of course). Fun to tour. There are a lot of "craft" distilleries as well, many of which have nice restaurants as well. I enjoyed touring the smaller places better, as you got a better view into the process and they also seemed more liberal in the tasting as well. Can't go wrong either way.. Nice area and people are super friendly. One other thing.. Schedule tours way ahead of time, especially due to Covid group sizes are smaller. Scheduling a month out will ensure you can book times that work for you.

Nobody really supports Biden. What they support is not having Trump in office and keeping him out any way they can. Trump is a threat to all the corruption that has become the standard in our government and the left had to put an end to that threat. They were willing to bring the country to the brink of destruction to do it. The problem is, they may actually cause our country to be destroyed by their hatred.

I have several Squirrel calls and have had very spotty results using them. For the most part they seem not to do much good in producing shots, that being said I have had several times using them where they actually worked. Once on a stand using one of those rubber bulb type calls I had a Squirrel come in from behind me and jumped on my back and go right up on my head and leap up on to the tree I was sitting against. I let out a scream that would have made Fay Wray proud. The best I can figure is they sometimes trigger a territorial response. Al

It has been doom and gloom for my entire adult life, since Clinton. But here we are, still doing fine, house,a few acres, 2 cars in driveway, heat, electric, running water, cupboards full, multiple tvs, ect. And toilet paper. The other day All in the family was on. It made me chuckle to hear the political arguments between Archie, and Meathead. Literally the same as today, 40 years later. But somehow things work out, and the world goes on.

I hope it’s a shoot out .I have vacation days in for Sunday ,Championship game and the SB....

So the same as me here . Today ,post office ,bank, UPS store, drop off at a goodwill store , oh the gym where nobody wears one anyways . I can’t believe people still wear them , and i have no idea why they test all the time .
