In Texas there used to be hardship licenses. Your parent only had to attest to the "need" for a license. I took my test in a 1962 bel air, 350 with Z28 intake, 292 heads, Holley 650 and a comp cam. No power steering.  . I had a full drivers license at 14 no drivers ed needed. They stopped that years ago.

Gotta love the Craftsman range bag rofl

Got the 11 and 13 year olds on the Glock 17. The wife shot the 21. She was doing ok but after a few she was milking the trigger and off low and left just a bit. Kids did well with the g17 with me behind them for safety.  Even with them limp wristing it would not FTF

Just did my first mow yesterday. My Troy bilt 22 horse mower is used as part mower and part brush hog shredder. It goes through blades and spindles like a kid through a stash of chocolate.

I haven't. Though I wonder.  It's well known that the 5.56 works on a tumbling fragmentation principle creating multiple wound channels. But at much higher velocity than the rounds from a pistol.  The hydraulic shock of a larger heavier expanding round at those slower velocities may still be preferred.  True multiple wound channels might be more lethal, time to incapacitation is my main concern, which massive instant transfer of total energy would probably accomplish better. My 2 cents

Wil you better get here quick. Taking the point off the flat sped the cooking time. Point is done and now resting in the cooler. Flat has about another hour to go.

Actually your employer (in Texas) can not refuse you the ability to keep a weapon in your vehicle on company property. That law was passed about 3 years ago. My employer was the same way but now I can legally have it in my car on company property and they can't retaliate. This is assuming you aren't on a federally regulated facility and you Te subject to state laws.

Too funny

Thanks Don. She unloaded all the chop stone out of the trailer and removed all the flag stone from the original path, then helped rake out the path before I dumped the granite and re set the stone.

Had the youngest helping out this morning rebuilding the front walkway at the hide/retirement place.

so do you wait for all the ants to run away from the mound before eradicating them?  not if you're smart.

Wow, I'm gone for a couple of days and you guys are on a roll.

On the college thing.

Follow the money.  Every time government gets involved in the financing of something the costs shoot through the roof.  People/businesses rush in to take advantage of a seemingly endless supply of funds. 

Case in point,  take a look at the expenditure on healthcare since the introduction of government funding of Medicare and now the cost of college in the era of easy government backed student loans.

Dirty secret, college tution is one of the only things whose costs have risen faster than even heathcare costs.

Agreed that college is not necessary for everyone.  Work ethic and a willingness to learn go a long way even in todays world.

Now here is a thought.  much like every maligned conservative who has gotten publicity for their cause, (e.g. Joy Villa, Black Rifle Coffee Company, Ivanka Trump to name a few) If someone would start a strictly conservative college, I bet they would have a trail beat to their door

Finished bible study with the extended family.  Headed to the coast to wade fish for two days.

Add a tbs of canola oil and cook the entire finely chopped red onion over medium heat until soft. Then add 4 cloves finely chopped garlic and continue cooking 2 more minutes. Don't burn the garlic. Then add all the fresh peppers and continue cooking another 5 minutes.



Then add 1 tablespoons each of the powdered chilis and a teaspoon of Mexican oregano and cook 2 more minutes before adding 5 cups of chicken stock and 16 oz of drained whole tomatoes (puréed in the blender first)



Cook 15-20 minutes until slightly thickened

No, it was an uncomplicated flavor profile with just loads of heat.  People confuse heat with taste.
