Why did I not think to ask you about recommendations?  We did RPM Seafood and Chicago Cut Steakhouse and a couple of hole in the wall Italian places all down by the riverwalk.  I will definitely keep those on the list for next time.

We did the Navy Pier, Ferris wheel, art museum, trump tower, river tours, architectural tour, etc

I admire the democrats.   They suspend logic and reality in the pure pursuit of power leading to socialism.  They rarely break ranks and would (and did) vote in a vegetable to keep and gain power.

Im visiting the land of commies and dead democrat voters for a week.

Anyone care to guess?

Don,  good times and thanks for sharing.

the area to the west of Jackson Hole as you head towards Teton has some great restaurants and places that are less touristy.  Grand Tetons are amazing too.

The best fight to win is the one you avoid.

Really like that look Shawn, is it R panel profile that looks like board and bat?

Sorry to hear Chief.  Hope it works out.  Graters is amazing.  Black cherry chocolate chunk…for the win

Orientation for the youngest at Texas A&M.  Man I love this place.  Such a rich history of military service, honor and discipline.  A great hall of flags and remembrance.  No qualms about enforcing the rules on campus.  Especially the no hat in the memorial hall and no walking on the grass.

Will fit my youngest well.  She is a no nonsense rule follower and remarkable self discipline.

T-minus 60 days to empty nest.

I’ll plead the 5th here lest it be used against me later.  FAFO

Awesome.  Don, as you know all too well.  Punching holes in paper standing in one spot is not a real contest.  Moving and shooting  is more realistic.  And nothing prepares you for when rounds are incoming.

Having never been there myself,  I have heard stories of “excellent marksmen” who can’t hack it when the rounds start coming in.  You just have to hope the training overrides fear.

As for me, nothing exciting today other than negotiating high dollar deals.  No risk of bodily injury…just dealing with egos.

Great opening salvo there chief.

First, trump falsified nothing and was guilty of nothing of which they fabricated charges for.  He was a darling of the left until he became a conservative and now it’s their sworn duty to destroy him.  You of all people should know that the military industrial complex didnt like that he failed to perpetuate and enter wars.

“Hush money” was a phrase created by the media to make the trial seem legitimate..

Catch and kill is nothing new, just ask Stephanopolis and Ken’s girlfriend Hillary about “bimbo eruption”

No politician is pure, just like none of us are either. But this is Zimbabwe level banana republic weaponization of the legal system against an opponent.

Now having said that, the reality is that it takes money to win in politics.  The “message” doesnt sell itself, it take an army of people to knock on doors, conduct polls, make advertisements and all the other associated things to get a “low information voter” to get out to the polls.

Not bragging and not ashamed that I have written many checks for various amounts to many politicians.  Many times I have regretted it.  Romney still owes me $5000 in my opinion.

Like it or not politics is a dirty business.  You can die being “pure and right” but you need a bigger badder dog in the fight and it costs money.  It doesnt take big money, but that’s helpful, the power comes from $5, $10, $20 donations from millions of people.

So you can either get involved at the grass roots level now, or hope you have enough ammo to get involved when it really comes full circle.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and prayers.

Other than he is my son, I am happy that there are young men and women out there who still believe in something bigger than themselves and who are, essentially, willing to give up all their free time and devote themselves to the ideal of national defense. Because this nation, despite all the vermin freeloading off the system, is still worth saving.

God bless them all!

Precisely.  Well done and congratulations.

I assumed so, but nothing I could find on the interwebs confirmed it.  Thanks for confirming.

That was a gutsy raid that close to the paki military academy.

He is in heaven  at the right hand of the Father waiting for the point where he will use His enemies for a footstool.

Christianity is the only religion that believes in the complete depravity of the human, an eternal plan for the unblemished Lamb to be born and crucified for our sins to complete the type that was set forth in the Old Testament when imperfect sacrifices were given.

The death of His earthly temple was a triumph for us as it completed the positional justification of His elect before the Father.

Now we wait….

So if we add up the cost for the tac topper, the Dodge, the SRW 3500, the dually, the 5th wheel and the now DRW and slide in Don could have bought that overlander unit…..

How about a vote to put it back stock…..

Glad its repaired and back to operational status

Don here is the recipe. If you or anyone reading this uses it and blows themselves up, it’s not my proble
  Start low and work up looking for signs of over pressure. 

66 degree day with 84% humidity.
240 gn hornady XTP
Vihtavuori N110 powder- 21gn
Virgin Starline brass
Magtech magnum pistol primer

Highest velocity- 1477fps
Lowest 1399
Mean 1427
Average of 6 rounds

Divide your new tire height by the old tire height. That will give you the percentage you are off.

Wow great work Sam.

I started in late January and am at the gym 3 days a week on heavy weights.  I use My Fitness Pal and track everything, even measuring booze.  As long as I get 115 grams of protein I can eat pretty much whatever if I hit my calorie goal.

Im not trying to cut too many calories as I’m building muscle at the moment but down 18, lost 3 inches in the waist and really building muscle.  Put up 310 on the bench press this week for the first time in years.  Still a long way from my personal best of 380 but that was when I was 42 and I’m now 57.

I’m at 238 and really need to be at 215.  Pre covid I was 5 days in the gym and 205 but not hitting muscle as hard.  When I get the muscle mass I’m looking for I’ll switch gears to leaning up a bit to land on 215.
