    That's some pretty twisted logic. Every ideology has their extremes and none of them are critical thinkers.

    I sometimes ask myself if I would rather be retired at 65 born in ‘57. Or retire when I did at ‘62. Full retirement for us born later is 67

    1958. 2021. I highly advise retirement. Best thing that ever happened to me.

    WISH I HAD RETIRED EARLIER WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH ME?

    Done.

    Actually, full SS for us '57 babies was 66.6 years. My wife (same age as me) waited until then. I retired at 62 and began taking the slightly reduced amount... I figured a little less for 4 1/2 years vs nothing until 66.6 gave me an edge at getting my 'investment' back before I kick off. That, plus my body was not allowing me to keep working in the ground, on my knees, installing or repairing irrigation systems! Now, almost 68, I am happy with what I did.

    Is he your watch tarantula,Okie or a visitor?
    He is a good size. Looks quite comfortable sitting there :D


    Have to do some sighting in on the wifes p322. Put a green dot (easier on the old eyes) for her to try. She is good with the 22 but can't handle the recoil well with a 9.

    Yep

    I'm sure of two things:

    1) I exceeded the weight limit of the big dumper Gorilla cart
    2) I exceeded the tow limit of my Gravely ZT

    But I'm a professional. I know stuff.

    You will also note the cart does not dump by itself. First I must shovel out front portion of load, which is technically insane because I just put the rocks in there! But no other way to dump it. That said, one gets quite good at knowing just how much rock to leave in back part to make lifting easy enough but not too easy, because well read what I just wrote - the less shoveling the more sane I remain.

    Also to close this out. I roughly raked it flat.

    The wife is coming home today, that's her job as well as picking up the few that spilled while shoveling. :angrygirl::rofl::rofl::thumbsup:

    The photo op presented itself so I snagged it.
    Sitting on a Taurus tx22. Cheap to purchase cheap to plink, and a good feel with good capacity.

    Been thinking of getting a P322 not for self defense but for fun. I’m a 9mm guy but the P322 with 20 + 1 rounds will definitely stop a threat. And if it doesn’t just pop in another 20 round mag.

    Been looking at the TX22 but read they were having barrel issues. It has a good capacity mag and 22 are cheap enpugh for a day plinking. I have an H&R 949 9 shot revolver for plinking but would much rather prefer a magazine to load than the cylinder (pain in the butt and worse clearing the spent shells).

    I have shot it (when the Missus let's me :cool:). Shoots nice and loading the mags are a learning curve. If the bullets are not aligned properly, the gun won't feed:eek: causing a,jam. YouTube was my friend for that. I to am a 9mm man and have an S&W Easy for when I start having trouble racking my other pistols (except the 357 which is a revolver:thumbsup:).
