So mine is more of a cat name, but I named her Nala. I loved lion king growing up, so the name fit. Next dog i get will either be Mufasa or Rafiki
I was going to name a dog "Mbwa". Swahili for dog.(the lion king names are Swahili in origin.)
Had a dog named "inga kozi" and called her inja. That's Zulu for female dog.

So #2 daughter is going to PR . Must have proof of a negative test no more then three days out upon entering . She gets there noon on Sunday , so test no later then Thursday afternoon , test takes a day or two to get results, cutting it close !
Now she’s fully vaccinated, well she still needs negative test ! Then with being vaccinated, negative test, you still have to wear a mask WTF .
they’ve moved the goal posts so much they’ve circumnavigated the earth !
You can get a pcr test done quick, bit it'll cost. $250-375.
I'm in same boat but only have 48 hrs to play with. Hoping by October that'll change for requirements, but I'll make it work.

You must know different cops then I . Everyone here is not being proactive in anyway , just taking radio calls and then ,a slow response , priority one jobs are all backed up .Even FD and EMS is waiting a very long time for PD response, and often asking for State PD or other outside agencies hoping they’ll come into the city .
My God the “ good “ ones aren’t backed by the mayors or city council, and just take abuse from the citizens .
great time lol ,they are demoralized beyond belief can’t wait to retire , or transfer to the sticks . It’s the worst time ever for most guys . I workout with a number of young cops daily , the just F ing hate it .
Just Saturday I had this conversation with someone who has 23 years in.
It's his intention to keep his head down for 2 years and retire. There are whole areas that actually have no assigned officer, they are just spot filling in here and there.
He hides the car he brings home now behind a shed, and not in plain view.
Beyond demoralized as an agency.

I have my route all planned out , the liquor store up the road has 9 bottles of Hendrix Lunar gin in stock ( limited release ) , so I’ll go there first . Then head east to Target and grab a PS5 and some LEGO’s oh and a new IPad .
Then over to Dicks ( I figure that’s ok since I’m not paying ) and grab a few pair of sweet Nikes , maybe a new pair of Muck boots ,perhaps grab some beef jerky at the door on the way out ,oh maybe put it all in yeti cooler ! Do they make ones with wheels ?
Something to,think about , folks are talking about the Drs. Testimony, Drs kill over 250,000 people, a year through , “ medical mistakes “ ! Yikes hand full of cops dont follow policy a few die and the country burns . A Dr kills someone , calls his attorney, goes home and plays golf .
Dang, all that's near me to loot is a gas station. They got some gluten free snack bars I'd have my eye on if things get crazy.
Last time that place burned under mysterious circumstances, it took 7 years to get permits and replace it. Hope they dont burn it down.

Good review.
Long time Blaser owner, and have owned other strait pulls. I find it easy to swap back and forth between action styles and different safeties; but not everyone does.
What's the lock up mechanics between bolt and barrel?

I'm not following other then the headlines.
This isnt going to cause another toilet paper shortage is it?

That’s what we’ve been doing. Liberty Bagels and then up for some window shopping, St Patrick’s, and what not.
Got a bit wet so we’re trying to air out with some coffee and a dry seat.
If you can't find great food and something of interest in NYC, you just aren't trying in life.
I'm partial to the history museum as one of the displays features my backyard and the area around Stissing mountain here in Dutchess county.
Enjoy the rest of the day.

I love my career, maybe individual projects some days can be so-so, but overall its darn good. I feel sorry for those that trudge though life unhappy all the time because they feel trapped in something they hate. It's too much time to spend each week being miserable from my perspective. I have a ton of fun at hobbies, and have a ton of fun accomplishing projects at work. Win-win
Go for it. Find something that spins your propeller. Good luck!

Common language. Probably something they on either side will never forget. That type of interaction would be way more enjoyable to me on an African safari/hunt than actually taking game.
I have been unbelievably lucky in the hunting success end of things. But it's the whole trip and all the crew in camp, on the truck, in the field that is fun to be around. They're for the most part very engaging. Super serious as their craft on the hunting end. The trackers are simply amazing, it's extraordinary, I have learned just a ton from them. Changed my world.
I think I'm fortunate that I'm just a guy who drives nails for a living. I tell the PH's I have more in common with camp staff, then any of the typical clients most times. Lots of hunters never spend any time with "staff". Such a shame.
I hung out with some San bushman, it was great. NY guy i know who helps them out with the 2 government's of Nambia and Botswana set me up for 2 days.
You tube Attenborough Persistance Hunt. Same guys.
Ate a porcupine, not gutted, and roasted whole in the ground. It was "different".
Been lucky to not just spend all my time hunting. For most it's off the plane, on to camp, satellite connection to the office at night, back on the plane; and never see the rest of the world around you. I want to add a couple new species to my bird list and will be tickled pink to spend time on a major river to have a go at the more aquatic ones.(I'm around 250, but I dont get to see the summer/rainy season ones)
I just sent not an hour ago confirmations for 8th trip at beginning of October. I haven't slept 2 hours in the last 2 nights I still get so pumped. At this point I actually can't believe that I have been able to pull this off for so long. And a bunch of other stuff in between.
And
I dont care if I shoot a thing.

Anyone use one of these? Which model? Ever fish inshore salt with it?

I shot one of the Turnbull scratch reproductions. It was nice, but they dont seem to get a lot of love from 1911 folks but I dont know why.
I'd still like one because they have no two tone finishes,goofy fishscale grips and the other crap that seem to be what's out there. But I'm not a pistol guy at all, so ymmv.
Just so happens the latest stimulus check is almost exactly airfare for a safari, so that's where mine is going. Didnt spend the others either and are going to the same cause.

.... that thing better shoot itself lol. I've never held a gun of any type worth that much. I'd be afraid to take it out of the safe. Post up some pics when you get one. I'm sure something of that quality must be a dream to shoot.
It's the opposit for me. I hardly ever shoot the safe fillers. A really nice firearm that fits you,shoots stupid accurate, amazing trigger,silky smooth action is a joy in the hands. I have considerable rounds out of a few specific guns, they are worth every penny I have into them. 2 have seen some really hard field use and still look great(They can do pretty good at holding value too)
It's not everyone's cup of tea, just like a Porsche gt3 and a Camry get you to the same place. But it's not the same, it just isn't.
But I have been debt free since 30 and no kids, so I can afford to dabble with stuff.

I seen houses in the city of Buffalo with there roofs covered in them .Imagine removing them when you have a roof leak or need the roof replaced ?Like said above ,they make a big deal about how fracking pollutes ,yet battery’s and harmful for the environment,windmills are not biodegradable ,ect.
I walked away from a really nice addition last year for a good client when we hit an impasse on who and how much to remove and reinstall panels since we had to tie in back up the roof line. The original solar company already out of business in 2 years and the quote was more then the original package from someone else to do that work. And I wasn't touching it and not getting involved.
Works still not done and they didnt renew a permit, so no one else wants to deal with it either.

Have fun, New York is what you make of it.
Lots of outdoors activities around, license is relative cheap for the length of seasons for hunting.
Lots of good advice here, and the usual internet experts. You'll figure it out.

Emirates is one of my faves. Used them for a round trip to Milan. Cathay Pacific is my other fave.
Supposed to have a pretty good baggage tracking in place for firearms. That's my measure if you're any good, tell me my rifles on the plane, I can buy clothes anywhere. United was a mess, they had no clue up and down, even management, as to procedure. Everyone raved about Air New Zealand and they were just competent.
New route for me through Dubai, but short layover, just 2 hours. Guns checked all the way through, so doesnt add much to trip length and no Corvid test required.

I spent $100 the other day and got 10 2x4s. Crazy. Was going to redo my deck this year but gonna wait and see if prices come down a little. Plus I have several big house projects this year. But hard to believe one pressure treated 2x4 is $10.
Wait if it's not pressing.
There have been a few price spikes over the 30+ years I have been doing this. Eventually the market corrects itself.
I have never seen demand as high as It is right now. Building is stupid crazy. And that's not just here in the Hudson valley from NYC folks moving. Its outside every major urban area east coast. Friend just moved to SC and had a job in 3 days.

not just gas, building materials are up a lot to and this is just the beginning .
That's been going on for a year.
I bought 200 sheets of 7/16 osb for $6.50 each last feb. Just because it was cheap and I needed 50 for a job,but never did use them last summer.
I sold 150 for 23 each last month. I wish I had bought 1k.

Finalized flights today for a trip and just need to wire some funds for down payment.
And finally get to see how good Emirates is for myself as they get rave reviews from traveling hunters.
On the other end much of the world is struggling for any meaningful vaccine distribution, and they are already talking multiple years of annual booster shots because this virus is going to be endemic anyway.
Now chef can be on here for years making posts about the vid. vaccine.

I still have that loaded 375 Jarrett cartridge you gave me if you run low.........
I'd tell you bring it along, a guest can hunt off my license, but its opening day of bow here and it's going to be scorching hot in the valley. But tiger fishing out of the best camp there is on the lower Zambezi for 3 days at the end.

I have ammo/components/dies for guns I dont even own yet, just interested in maybe someday.
In a practicle sense I just got a quota list that is allowed on a hunt this fall. They didnt hunt the concession last year, it's a good one anyway for available game, and they need to do some management. If I tag out on primary animal, I could melt my barrel trying for the rest. Now I might book more days. Lol. Taking more ammo for sure.

I looked them up, but they seemed like they were a store?
They have a store front, but they have a farm that raises birds, they sell to local clubs.

Does anyone know of any farms in the Long Island, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess or maybe ulster county that sell live chukar, pigeons or quail? I've been trying to catch pigeons by me, but so far I haven't been able to trap any of them.
Did you try Quattro's in Pleasant Valley in Dutchess?
Who's not getting the shot?
