    Raw and delirious were on HBO this was TV....Really can’t compare..

    I haven't had a TV since the early 1990's. I just thought this bit of Eddie Murphy from youtube was funny.

  2. Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!! It's also my brother's birthday. Momma made a big pan of lasagna for the occasion. :rolleyes: But she also had some chips and avocado dip, and these little Mexican festivity items around the kitchen like paper hot peppers and stuff. I ate way too much.

  3. Shooting trap well is a lot lot like hitting pitches from someone who's good at pitching. You can't just guess, but you have almost no time to figure things out...so. I always sucked at it. Major congrats to your son!

  4. My Dad had a dental office with a "guardian robin" at the front door. People got used to it. I have a couple nests at the door to my tractor shelter that wakes me up when I go out to mow. They don't really bother me and I leave them alone. They don't care much for the diesel fumes while the tractor warms up, though. ;-)

  5. Bernie Sanders can afford to be a stupid socialist because he lives very well in a free-market capitalist country. Why he chooses to be so stupid is up for debate. I don't think he'd do very well eating pets and zoo animals in Venezuela, though,  and I don't think Vietnam would have him either. Vietnam has been there and done that socialist crap and they're trying to get away from it. It doesn't work now, and it never has.

  6. I won't normally sit with my back to the street entrance part of a restaurant. The exception would be in a place like Parker's Grille where we had our GTG and I figured all of you guys sitting across the table from me were carrying and would give me a heads up if required. It also would have been weird with all of us sitting on one side of the table looking like a "Last Supper" tableau. ;-)

  7. I've used a kayak for floating squirrel hunts with a .22. It's a lot of fun picking them out of the trees, but I wouldn't want to shoot a shotgun from it. Even the canoe is a little dicey when touching off a heavy shotgun load. I guess it's a matter of tolerance. I don't want to go swimming in November when I'm 2+ miles from my truck.

  8. I spent a few hours yesterday with my Dad taking the backblade/snowplow off the kubota and changing the oil while my Mom watched. It started raining so we didn't get the mower deck on. The mower deck is a b***h. It weighs more than most lawn tractors and is not easily maneuvered. I used to do it alone, but it now takes three people with some muscle. On the bright side, there is nothing that mower deck won't chew up and spit out. It was also nice spending some time with my parents.

  9. I'll agree that it's the spring compression/strength. It's a new spring. Clipping half of a coil off the bottom of the spring would probably do it. BTDT.

    Mag springs won't "relax" over time just being loaded. They need to be worked to lighten up. Shoot the crap out of it for the next year and it'll probably handle ten without a problem. Just my experience. If you clip the spring you may find that the last round won't feed in a few years.

  10. I lived in a Buffalo neighborhood where I witnessed a shooting in my side yard which resulted in my Grand Jury testimony, and on a different occasion my neighbor's house took a few rounds, and I saw a bullet hole in my porch post one morning. I also sat on my porch with a friend drinking beer while an episode of "Cops" was being filmed across the street.

    Don't feed the a**holes no matter what. $20  is not a good deal to keep that going because you know damned well those knives weren't his.

    I still do Dibiten torch down here and there; I actually like it better then the thinner EPDM glue down systems for residential (don't care for the soft EPDM underlayment).  

    Just have to use your head when torch is involved; Ed was never a good supervisor or good tradesman, just friends with the company owner. LOL

    I've also done a lot of plumbing work in old houses. Nothing in my life has scared me more than running a torch in those old cobweb-filled buildings. I always had an extinguisher handy, but it was still terrifying. Don't miss that at all.

    My supervisor on a job early in my career burned a clients home right to the ground torching down a roof and getting the fire kindled inside a wall. Left for the day and overnight it really got going.:rolleyes:

    Spent the next 8 months rebuilding it.^_^

     

    Nice job on bird.:drinks:

     

    I never suggested that it was a safe roofing technique. It was just common practice 40 years ago. Most everything is adhesive now, as you know.
