You'll have to flip a quarter for that one. I've got Springfield; my buddy had a Kimber. They both shot well.

Thank you, Dr. Morale......

Well, if my Doc is correct in his estimate that I have ~10 years to go..... maybe they will have something better, or maybe I can find a doctor that will do full anesthesia. Or maybe I'll get run over by a bus the day before, and it won't matter

My mom swears that they told her she would be knocked out for it. Afterwards I asked her if they actually said “anesthesia “ or if they said “sedate” because I think she wasn’t actually listening to the doc

I'm fine Andy, thank you. How are you this fine Tuesday?

also, moron report:
big project, new sub contractor. bit disorganized.
they keep asking us to remake parts - they're either lost or the wrong size. they supplied the quantity and sizing so its on them
i think i've made twice the original quantity for most of this project
they asked for more last week.
told them they needed to double triple check and be super duper sure that this was the last time as i'm running out of material
wednesday they gave me the final list
put it all into production thursday
and they sent a new list friday
and another yesterday
and another today.
contractor yelled at us and is mad because we're taking so long and doesn't understand why we tell him its super confusing when he sends new sizes and quantities for things on a daily basis

Evening folks! I have been places today but I’m stopped for the night but I believe I will have to go further south to get any fishing in this trip. Our PA folks have had some rain apparently these streams around Jim thorp are rolling this evening. This is probably going to be a look the place over stop this trip.

Man kind of glad I didn't come here first this morning. The thoughts of injections in my eye make my whole body tighten up. I get injections in other parts of my body just so I can move and no problem. Well for the most part... I'm at 3X progressive readers not a lot of room to go any higher ugh.

Found a 4x4 shop 10.4 miles from my house in the middle of no where that is highly ranked. Older guy, wait he is around my age and has 3 young bucks that work for him. Replace leaf packs, shocks and front lower ball joint boots more than $4K from dealer. He just called me and OME replacement parts installed plus boots is $1,400. I told him to order parts. I just found a new mechanic for the truck first thing he asked is how is the frame. They also do welding and frame repair. Mainly on jeeps but also Toyotas.

But who's counting Andy It will be here before you know it! I'm thinking that I am just going to keep on working until I fart dust. My job isn't that bad so no complaints. But I warn them not to piss me off because I can punch out at anytime LOL.

I dispatched 2 red squirrels this morning with my PCP 22. Last fall a red climbed into the engine compartment of the truck and did more than $1k of damage. It is war on the reds now. Chipmunks dug tunnels under the paver brick driveway and retaining wall and water got in the tunnels and wiped both out. Just got quotes in, $48,000. Chipmunks are now on the list too!

Silencer for 22 finally got out of BATF jail after 1 year need to pick it up when I can.

Kind of overkill for chippies and reds with the PCP but options are always good.

FAIR in Italy screwed up my custom order Iside 16 ga. after waiting 6 months. So back to the factory it goes and waiting starts again. For the trouble IFG offered me pick of the litter with family and friends discount for a 16 ga. Prestige, it is out for delivery to the FFL dealer right now. But shooting 5 stand after work today so it will have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up.

That’s a great price on the suspension work. That’s also beautiful shotgun. Love the etching. Mine is nothing as fancy as yours but love it just the same. CZ Mallard. This is my Holy Trinity haha.

Good morning everyone-

Today is move-out day for our daughter, with her college graduation this Friday. I’m impressed with the knowledge and confidence that she has gained these past 4 years. Her Mom and I are very proud of her.

Hey Mike-I’m glad you found a local shop for the suspension work.

Oh yeah, squirrels and chipmunks are a big nuisance and their numbers need to be thinned. I think you will like the suppressor, I like the one I have.

That’s a beautiful 16ga shotgun. Hopefully the special order gun will arrive soon and be correct.

CZ makes great firearms IMO. I like the light colored stock on the bolt-action, is it Maple?

Good morning all.

Crappy work day, yesterday. i was on a conference call with the program manager at a customer discussing a project I’m managing for them. (I’m a Senior Project Manager Manufacturing Engineer) They asked me to put together a due date for a submission of a new product and the owner of the company I worked for torpedoed the date on the call because of what I gave as being too long. There wasn’t any slack in what I figured at all, if anything it would have been hard to meet. Now in need to come up with an impossible plan that I have no authority to enforce, but just the responsibility, and knowing that we won’t make it, give that to the customer.

Congratulations! 4 years goes by so quickly. There is no better feeling than watching your children accomplish their dreams. Well Done Mom and Dad!

Yes, the CZ527 is a 223 with a micro Mauser action in a Curly Maple stock. It’s a tack driver. My favorite gun. But the prairie dogs hate it!
