For the last 3 months Vermont has had more deaths of fully vaccinated people than unvaccinated https://vermontdailychronicle.com/2021/11/30/majority-of-november-vt-covid-deaths-fully-vaxxed/?fbclid=IwAR1WRq-9MTrIrL3RFPt1H0YeKiypBuskUctkd2_7YPxCXESh1xxApwvvBfA Also had a store owner of a butcher shop I always go to die of Covid recently . One heck of a super nice guy . Last time I talked to him was right before Thanksgiving . He was fully vaccinated . According to his Son who has now taken over the store , 3 days after his Dad got the booster shot , he fell severely ill with Covid . He was dead 4 days later . Got the booster shot on Dec 8th , Fell ill on Dec 11th , Died on Dec 15th. He was in great shape . Non smoker or drinker . Not a big guy at all . Loved to play golf , swim , and play tennis . He was 72 years old and easily looked like he was 60 . You just never know .

There is only one on gunbroker.com . Looks like a real nice gun . No bids with 3 days left . If it goes for close to the starting price it would be a great deal . There is no reserve price to meet either . https://www.gunbroker.com/item/920137368

Happy Birthday T F !

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas Wolc !

Great ! You picked the perfect week Chef ! Should we be expecting to see some kind of delicious gourmet fish dinner tonite in the " Whats For Dinner " thread ?

I can hear the politicians now broadcasting on the news : " Our gun Control Laws Are Working ! "

Cynthia , your FIL is now without pain . He has been looking forward to finally be united with his wonderful wife , holding hands spending eternity together. God bless them both . Amen

Its not a plug in . He is in California . From what he told me the engine charges the battery . Runs on the battery when its going slow like stop and go traffic Runs on gas when higher speeds and power needed. I just called him to confirm there was no plug . He said if the battery is getting low the gas engine kicks in to charge it even if you are in traffic . Battery charge lasts for over an hour in stop and go traffic which is the norm for LA traffic . Tells me he actually gets 36 MPG . The gas engine kicks on at about 30 MPH

One helluva buck for Mrs TXT ! Congrats !

My son has a new sport model Toyota Rav 4 hybrid XSE . He loves it ! Lots of power and 34 MPG. Was tough to find one though.

Dont do it ! Interest in buying the truck has nothing to do with if you have a loan on it or not . The only time that would matter at all is if he wants to pay cash for the truck . Even then it doesn't matter because the bank just mails him the titles in a couple days . Sounds like he just wants to see your name and address info . Too many scams out there. Do you have the truck listed for sale somewhere ?

Happy Birthday Zeek ! Have a great day !

Go Gettem Moog ! Good Luck !

Paula if you zoom in on the pic you can tell its a shot just above the hoof . One heck of a mess with broken bone .

to be on the safe side DD , I would get these replacement O rings . Some of the guys had trouble with the hardware store rings . not all , but some of the guys . The hardest part of replacing the ring on a 760 is Remington used red loc-tite . That stuff needs close to 500 degrees to soften it up . when you put it back together use the blue Loc-tite to save future aggravation . There is also some special barrel tool that makes it easier. But you dont have to have it to complete the job. But it does make it easier . Here is a link to the rings. Its a 3 pack for 10 dollars that are made for the 7600 . Cheap enough . https://www.amazon.com/Captain-Ring-Remington-F15215-Action/dp/B06XH6V3JQ

The Rem 760's and 7600's are both rattlers when the O ring wears out . Thats is whats doing it . You can fix it yourself but its a process. You have to pull the barrel off . Some of those 760's had the red loktite holding them in so you would have to heat gun the joint to get it off . Im sure Buckmaster7600 has done it before and can chime in . Once you replace the O ring the gun will work like a charm with no rattles

Happy Birthday Mow !

A buddy of mine had the same thing going on last year with his rifle . Turned out it was the spring for the firing pin. Had it replaced and all was good . Another buddy a few years ago had his rifle make nothing but dimples on the primer . Sprayed this aerosol cleaner using the straw that goes into the sprayer and blasted it into the firing pin hole to flush it out . Firing pin was all gummed up . All was good after that too. Im sure there are plenty of other good ones but this is the one I use Hard to tell whats causing the misfires sometimes . Over the years I've seen this happen to a few older guns . I had a 20ga Savage do it . Turned out the firing pin was worn down .

johnplav's lightened pic shows better that its a coyote . That is a paw on the back right leg, not a hoof.

Looking at the back legs and paws , and the double shade of black and gray on the back of the lunging critter I would say its a coyote . The critter in the background could go either way. Looks more like a smaller coyote . but if its a deer , its the smallest and also dumbest deer in the woods . There is a little snow on the ground . Check the track . The only way to really know what it is .

What a great story and memory made possible for Tim by some awesome people . Thank You to all that made it happen .

Happy Birthday !
