  1. Had one of those pots myself . Gave it to my dad as he liked the coffee  so much . The shame of it is Corning sold all the consumer products  devision back in 98. Since then we have been owned by 5 different investment  company's.  With each change they have tried to do more with less and cut quality. The powers to be have merged and sold many smaller companies  forming a conglomerate of household goods . For the most part its the Corell dish ware that kept them afloat for 25 years. Unfortunately a lot of quality products have been lost along the way

    Perhaps she has become an ultra-conservative constitutionalist and believes 2A is only about muzzleloaders and "...shall not be infringed"! :rofl:

  3. 42 degrees  this morning at 4:30 am . Walked out of work to pretty stiff wind  and 9 degrees at 3 pm. Roads weren't that bad on the drive home . People driving way to fast for the conditions as usual .Wind is really whipping now..  I'm home for the night . Told the wife I will get up and drive her to work in the morning .  I'm off work for the next 9 days.

    I dont believe your issue is crud at all . Everyone I know who shoots out to 200 yards are using 3 pyrodex or triple 7 pellets . I think sbuff's calculation of 16 inches low is right on the money or actually a little on the short side. I would of expected to a bit more than 16 inches low . 

    I'm shooting the 250 shock waves and in my tc pro hunter with 3x50 pellets. At 100 yards my group is much tighter with 3 pellets than with 2. I have a leupold muzzleloader scope that has a 2 pellet verses 3 selector to compensate for the difference. With a ballistic reticle.  Off a bench I can smack 200 yard 10 inch pan ever time .  My gun was designed for 3 pellet charges . Should you decide to try 3 pellets  check your gun info  before you try this.

  5. To be honest my kill drive is down this year . Alot going on at home and work . Slow start to my season hasn't helped.  Now I'm getting over covid .I could have gone this morning  except for the cough problem. Then my thought at 5 am this morning was how are you going to drag and load it into the truck by your self.  Then butcher and process. Perhaps I can get out this week if I feel better.

  6. I go back to work on Monday.  HR says I must wear a mask at all times for 5 days . Not looking forward  to that . Just wish I knew who I got it from . Probably  BIL. He was coughing in my truck last Friday.  Said he had just a cold and it had been 5 days since he had it. Never tested. Either that or got it grocery shopping Friday morning.

  7. Im feeling pretty good today. Little congestion..cough. wife sits in her chair covered up under blankets and heating  blanket..this is day 4 for her . Orange juice is all that tastes good to her . I will have to make a store run today. 

    Yesterday was our 27th anniversary  what a way to spend it. Ordered  pizza  son picked it up and delivered to the garage. Promised her that we will   go out for  dinner when she gets feeling  better.

    I'm bored forgive me these boring posts.

    I’m my Cliff Clavin voice, “ it’s a little known fact that A1 started in England was later brought to Canada and eventually the US”.

    You know English  food is so  damn bland... They probably made A1 out of necessity . But why put it beef and not everything else. 

  9. More yotes than farming. Biggest farming practice changes  have been removing hedgerows.  Now fields are huge no cover . Turning over fields every 2 or 3 years is another big one . Dens get plowed under every couple years as farmers rotate crops . No hedgerows to hide in hogs can't get an established  colony going.

    I remember  hunting hogs in the 70s and 80s I had all the holes on the 6 or 7 farms I use to hunt memorized .

  10. Well it had to happen . Even though  wife has been sleeping in spare bedroom she tested positive.  Just came home from work . Hospital rules she has to stay home for 11 days . Now the other sisters will have to step up and help my mother-in-law. My symptoms aren't bad .  I have slept pretty good. No fever in last 12 hours . She has sniffles and cough. Shoulders hurt.

  11. Well it's happened.  Started with a sniffle yesterday morning cough by evening. This morning I was achey. Fever this afternoon. Took a covid test after work . Test takes 15 minutes  solid posative in 2 minutes.

    I worked through the entire shut down . Haven't missed a day of work in 5 years except to hunt or fish.

    Problem is we had 15 people here on Sunday for a Birthday party. My 92 year old mother inlaw  was here .

    Can't recall being around anybody that was sick.

    This sucks!

  12. I almost never use a sling as a shooting aid . As a matter of fact I can't remember last time I did . I keep a sling on all my  rifles even while still hunting . The only rifle I don't have a sling on is a browning blr . Dont want that in the way when running the action. Not saying it will be a  problem but just don't want a problem as I'm not use to the action type. All my rifles have a claw sling on it . The claw locks onto your clothing doesn't slide around . Best sling ever.

  13. Talk about a chitty day. Must have stepped in yote chit in the dark on the way in .  Sitting there in the dark I could smell it. Got light enough to see its on every rung of the ladder stand and the platform.  Had 3 groups of deer come in and stop in the brush just off my shooting lane . Turn and run away not giving me a shot . Packed it in at 8:30. Washed boots and camo. Have to sneak back up and clean ladder at some point . If it weren't for bad luck ...
