Remington 11-87 12g
Hastings rifled barrel w/ Leupold 1.5x5
Can put any North American game species in the pot including bear. With rifled barrel and a sabot slug I can get other guns; out to 120yrds. it's lights out applied to ones "pumpkin" even helmeted ones. Close quarters with buckshot or similar is pretty devistating!

Which of the ones you mentioned would be the most effective in a static remote location?
Which would have a longer service life, with less repairs necessary to facilitate frequent usage?
Which will have less strain on your resources?
Which will ensure you have constant, dependable power when you need it, in any weather?
Once you nail those requirements, then you'll have your answer. When in doubt, mission statement it out.
Which one can you paint Kentucky Blue if you don't like Ohio State Red?

A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. :)

You could try-out my "fire in a bag" vacuum seal thing- it should go with a simple strike/fire set-up, especially with the para cord thread added into the mix.

Congrats Nate!
Brother has a similar charcoal unit with an extended / indirect Fire box for smoking- he loves it!
Nice to see more morsels from "Cookie" - save me a seat, even if there's not enough for all of us- I just want a sniff and some warm weather!

Great progress Don! Skunk stuff works really much better than your virgin bloody mary mix- why: Dawn cut oils in spray, Baking Soda neutralizes stink and Hydrogen Peroxide floats and oxidizes stink further and more easily rinses it all away.
Hope you never need it!

Maybe a 4bt in there??
JR... I think her plans are along the lines of nutz LoL Last she talked she intends to swap a 2x4 front/rear suspension it in, drop it on the ground with a rear 9" Ford. Then 18" rubber, some fat sway bars, and a built LS Chevy/4L60 Combo. She has some time to think about it. The crew cab and the M37 are going to get built first.
Can you say, "she wants to do an episode of "Pinks All Out"" 8)

A guy with build threads about firearms used everything BUT a gun to end the threat.....Brake Cleaner with a match and I'd have given you a pass for at least being creative! >:(
Recipe for Skunk Stink to remove it:
Bottle Hydrogen Peroxide
Couple tablespoons of "DAWN" dish liquid
1/2 Cup or so Baking Soda
Mix this in a glass dish outside near hose and ONE of said, Skunky, tied up Dogs.
Take mixture and heap and scrub on dogs from top down of affected area- KEEP OUT OF DOGS EYES
Rinse off with hose, warm water if you want it to work a bit better, cold if you really hate your dogs and like cold hands. If enough "mix" left, repeat right away.
You'll need another batch for Dog #2 and you should be good to go. If you find the fragrant "goo" on the house, you could try it, but not certain what Peroxide will do to siding/brick.
You might have discovered that when you're right at the point of attack, the smell is SO strong that it almost stops smelling......almost! ;D
Hopefully your dogs are up on their Rabies Vaccinations, as skunks are one of the most prevalent carriers of Rabies!

So your self-directed IRA is through a Trust?
Might it be because of the state I live in and associated costs savings?

Hey there all-
Setting up my "Self-Directed IRA" via Jay Goldblatt at Broad Financial, and thought I'd pose some questions for Don to answer since he's one of the catalysts that have me heading down this road through his own discussion of his experiences with the program.
Did you list others as members if the LLC ? If so, why, whom, etc.?
Any lessons or advice you'd share having already lived the process?
Given that I'm not full retirement age for an IRA yet, and I can still make contributions from income, any insight into that process?
Obviously, if Jay is on here, answer away publicly or anyone else for that matter, as I'm posing these questions for myself and others who might be considering doing likewise. ???

Ohh, now there's a concept- Real Man goes Northwoods! If you can't carry it in two trips (portages) it doesn't go! 20 years ago we were drinking directly out of the lakes- 10 day trips, freeze dried stuff, fresh fish, Steaks and potatoes the first night, hotdogs the second, and fish the rest of the time. Kool-aid to drink with "mix" while it lasted. Brought Everclear one year and have photo of me at dusk blowing flame across a post sunset western sky-
One of best cocktails ever was Jack and Lemonade, second night, using last of the ice from the meat cooler on a toasty evening after a muggy day paddling........ice in a drink in the Boundry Waters is rare, but most delightful luxury! :)

Saw that the other day in a Cabela's flyer and was intrigued by it and was curious what you'all might think about it. Seemed like the solid billet upper - lower would be much improved over stampings; but then again, too tight and sand makes it not go bang maybe? Seems like accuracy might be better too? ::)

Either "Kirkland's" Columbian Dark Roast, or "Peet's" Sumatran. Love my stovetop Cabelas Stainless percolator in the Travel Trailer though you gotta be careful when used to a Mr. Coffee style brewer as the temp. is a REAL wake up!
Daughter runs the "Peet's" store on Michigan Ave. downtown Chicago across from the giant stainless bean sculpture (Cloud Gate sculpture's official name) but not biased because of it. Stop in and look for the petite 20 something blonde manager, tell her "your dad sent me" :o
Two favorite coffee stories: sitting around my Grandparents kitchen table, drinking coffee black (not particularly wonderful coffee, but what they drank daily) with Grandma's homemade Gingersnaps! Ozarks of Missouri in a retirement home they both built together. Kinda a Don style oil change- was supposed to be Grandpa's wood shop/metal shop with office and washroom. They would build it and live in it while they built the house. Ended up building another shop and addition to the first shop for living room, garage, woodshed, and carport.
The other is the cup of coffee after shooting the deer on my wall. Early morning cool, rainy, with the time from o'dark thirty to 7am seeming like it was after 10am with the urge to go make breakfast and warm up over-ridden by," can't go in yet, the whole camp will give me crap for being a wussy". Sat back down and 15 mins. later a nice 10 pointer slides stealth mode through the woods offering a snap 80yrd shot. Gutting and the dragging it up and downhill a half mile to camp warmed (sweated) me some, but that cup outta the floating cowboy coffee concoction I wrote about previously (no filter basket, grounds and an egg) was the most wonderful cup I've had in deer camp!
Just remembered coffee in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota wasn't bad either! ::)

Sure you're already leaning this way Don, but just in case: I'd fire it up without the fenders etc. on- much easier to fix any potential wire issues where you can easily access those neat little wire bundles without having to hang by your ankles over the fenders. Remember the roof rack fiasco where you cracked the concrete and forgot your zip code for an undisclosed period of time...... ::)

it's getting so close it's electric. ::)
It's just endless problem solving right now.
I need a fitting for the transmission line, so I solve that puzzle.
I need to wire it up so I solve that puzzle
and on and on until one day I can declare that the majority of the problems are solved!
Then you'll start it and drive over a mulch bed and get it dirty! More problems- then a KIA will get stuck and some Bunny Hugger will complain about all the Sparks and not recognize the glory of it all......problems!

Spent the last 36 ish hours playing with 14" of snow and some real blowing! Very thankful for a two stage snow blower. Plows did an iffy job on some local streets- one stretch had plowed grass along shoulder which was interesting when snow covering it turned into soft shoulder on one side and the 14"+ unplowed on the right! Discoverd this on my short drive to Cabela's to "get out" and stock some essentials- new .50 cal ammo can. Filled it with .22 ammo and still have 4500 rounds un-canned- came to realization today that I don't need any more unless good deal on it! :o

Kyle-
Looks like usual surface rust - normal for a snow/salt climate vehicle. Certainly doesn't look troublesome to me, but I'm not buying it and I always look over in person before I purchase, and jab around with a pick and screwdriver underneath while inspecting.
Good luck-
Mike

I've contemplated this for some time with micro-chips in dogs, but NOW it's been announced for people. West Coast Tech Companies have offered a small chip implanted under employees skin to replace their ID's and they can pay for things using it too-

Watched it all- amazing. Never knew that the Church at ground zero is the exact site where George Washington and others consecrated this Nation!
If this Congress doesn't put God back at the forefront of its principles and the Nation as a whole follow suit, it is lost. I tried to find the date for the end of the Jewish period for the forgiveness of debt in 2015- couldn't doing simple search. Sure want to be outta the stock market by then!
Thanks for sharing this Don!

So, parts came in and Dealership fixed it under warranty with no issues that I've noticed. Initially smelled like there was still a leak as I could smell the scent of DEF fluid burning, in the cab. The tech stated that there was evidence of leaking going on at the turbo due to the defect. They cleaned it best they could, figure it was residual burning off. Guess they didn't take off the cab!
Side note: when your DEF fluid light comes on, and me sag center is telling you the level is at 30%, it takes 3 gallons to fill it. How do I know? Bought a 2.5 gallon "box" and a single gallon, put the gallon in first, and watched the "box" start to spit out the top with 1/5 left in it! >:( Poured water all over the area to rinse it off as that's some corrosive stuff urea!

Puppies...
Love 'em, but they don't stay that way!
Thank God they don't - they're a lot of work which reminds me why I don't work on an alligator farm! First one I had of the competition variety had me practicing my wood working skills on a new Cherry Armoire! Taking a block plain to a new piece of furniture to smooth out chew marks is like taking a grinder to a new car.......makes you sweat and swear and saw silly things like, "you almost can't notice it" when you're finished!
