I think that if the deal goes through the Jets will have to pay Tebow the 5 million dollars Tebow was advanced . The deal is on hold .

Yupper --- nice find .

The thing Tebow brings to the plate is ...... he is a running threat like in a Wildcat situation . He is not an accurate passer or someone who would fit into a passing game . He would be a good fit in Buffalo where we will probably have more running plays than passing . Now ..... what if Manning gets hurt in pre-season . That's a lot of money down the drain .

Because they don't have any confidence in their Mexican QB !

Here is some more on the subject Lyme Disease Surge Predicted for the Northeastern U.S. Boom-and-bust acorn crops and a decline in mice leave humans vulnerable to infected ticks Millbrook, NY – The northeastern U.S. should prepare for a surge in Lyme disease this spring. And we can blame fluctuations in acorns and mouse populations, not the mild winter. So reports Dr. Richard S. Ostfeld, a disease ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, NY. What do acorns have to do with illness? Acorn crops vary from year-to-year, with boom-and-bust cycles influencing the winter survival and breeding success of white-footed mice. These small mammals pack a one-two punch: they are preferred hosts for black-legged ticks and they are very effective at transmitting Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. “We had a boom in acorns, followed by a boom in mice. And now, on the heels of one of the smallest acorn crops we’ve ever seen, the mouse population is crashing,” Ostfeld explains. Adding, “This spring, there will be a lot of Borrelia burgdorferi-infected black-legged ticks in our forests looking for a blood meal. And instead of finding a white-footed mouse, they are going to find other mammals—like us.” For more than two decades, Ostfeld, Cary Institute forest ecologist Dr. Charles D. Canham, and their research team have been investigating connections among acorn abundance, white-footed mice, black-legged ticks, and Lyme disease. In 2010, acorn crops were the heaviest recorded at their Millbrook-based research site. And in 2011, mouse populations followed suit, peaking in the summer months. The scarcity of acorns in the fall of 2011 set up a perfect storm for human Lyme disease risk. Black-legged ticks take three bloodmeals—as larvae, as nymphs, and as adults. Larval ticks that fed on 2011’s booming mouse population will soon be in need of a nymphal meal. These tiny ticks—as small as poppy seeds—are very effective at transmitting Lyme to people. The last time Ostfeld’s research site experienced a heavy acorn crop (2006) followed by a sparse acorn crop (2007), nymphal black-legged ticks reached a 20-year high. The May-July nymph season will be dangerous, and Ostfeld urges people to be aware when outdoors. Unlike white-footed mice, who can be infected with Lyme with minimal cost, the disease is debilitating to humans. Left undiagnosed, it can cause chronic fatigue, joint pain, and neurological problems. It is the most prevalent vector-borne illness in the U.S., with the majority of cases occurring in the Northeast. Ostfeld says that mild winter weather does not cause a rise in tick populations, although it can change tick behavior. Adult ticks, which are slightly larger than a sesame seed, are normally dormant in winter but can seek a host whenever temperatures rise several degrees above freezing. The warm winter of 2011-2012 induced earlier than normal activity. While adult ticks can transmit Lyme, they are responsible for a small fraction of tick-borne disease, with spring-summer nymphs posing more of a human health threat. Past research by Ostfeld and colleagues has highlighted the role that intact forest habitat and animal diversity play in buffering Lyme disease risks. He is currently working with health departments in impacted areas to educate citizens and physicians about the impending surge in Lyme disease.

I helped my sister in law and her friend clear out some brush at her country home in Geneseo . Her property drops off behind the house and is loaded with Sumac and multi-floral rose bushes and vines . Her friend was using a small tractor with a chain to pull some stuff out and that was time consuming . We tried to pull out some of the rose bushes by the roots but they would just pull apart . I had purchased a set of Black & Decker Alligator Loppers to cut the sumac and other stuff instead of using the chain saw . It was a pretty good investment and cut some stuff of over 3" diameter . I was at it for almost 7 hours and I ache all over !

I am waiting for my son to get back to me on the model S&W he has . I believe it's model 29 . I looked at an exploded view of that model and see the strain screw at the bottom of the frame . thanks

Did you see Mario Williams , the Buffalo Bills $100 ,000 , 000 man ?

Like the kid said , he's baiting . And apparently not taking his meds !

I meant " if it happened to me " . I would be upset . I didn't doubt that you were shorted .

The primers were indented so I am thinking good cleaning plus Setters4life suggestion about adjusting the hammer strike . Thanks for the suggestions . I left a message for my son to cal and let me know what model his S&M 44 mag is ...........

Burmjohn ---- If you check through a few of his posts you will notice the guy isn't playing with a full deck . He just posts nonsense to tweak members . He probably should be doing his homework .

Here he is wearing his Irish green buying some Blaze Orange .........

Have a good one

Nice looking doggie .

Be careful

That's odd Paula . I have never had any missing hardware from any of the stands that I have purchased . I would be upset too , if it happened . I believe the hardware that comes with the stand is hardened . Go to a Tractor Supply Store and get the Hardware you need and then contact the Manufacturer . Problem with the Manufacturer is ...... they may be out of the country .

The length of pull on my Handi-rifles is 14 1/4" . A Youth stock is 11 3/4" . A difference of 2 1/2" . Not sure if the Youth Stock would be too short but it would be less expensive than having it cut down .

Congrats to your son ..........

How I learned to mind my own business .........

I have considered buying a shorter stock to fit a rifle and see how it works for me . My arms are short and the rifle doesn't fit me well .

I think you have him pegged !
