    It can be, if it's kept in the truck. :wink:

    Had fun in the snow yesterday. o_O

    You gotta love it when the plow comes through before you're even done shoveling and throws a huge drift in your driveway.

    20240112_152135.jpg

    I started considering buying a snowblower about halfway through shoveling. Driveway good enough, now for the cars.

    20240112_152150.jpg

    This reminded me of Terminator 2 for some reason...

    20240112_153804.jpg

    @rubbersidedown , any idea what the snow load rating is for this thing? :eek:

    I ended up shoveling it off, to be safe.

    20240112_152241.jpg

    There appears to be ~3 inches on top of everything again this morning. I'll shovel it later, again. :annoyed:

    This one just came across as an internet add.

    Great Lakes history has always been an interest of mine. I did grow up in Sheboygan. Spent a lot of time on the lake.

    This is going on my "want to go " list on G00gle maps.

    Does the map show the Edmund Fitzgerald?

    Ha! I saw a CC article posted on FB and the comments were hilarious. One guy said he wouldn't carry a 9 because he wasn't a sissy. Seems to me like it will kill someone just fine. :notsure:

    I once observed a 'discussion' on a gun forum between two people on 9mm/.45. Eventually, I chimed in and asked them which one would want to get shot by a .380? .32? .25? The answer was um...well...

    Lead starts flying, I doubt there's anyone that wants to get in the way!

    Yup. You get hit in the head or chest with any caliber, it's not going to be good.

    I was actually thinking about getting a 22 pistol just for the cheap ammo.

    Bill Burr has a good bit about why a smaller caliber is good for home defense.

    Yeah, a 9 will kill some one just fine. Problem is, it may take a while. Here's an article from a guy who worked in the Atlanta morgue.

    .45 for the win.

    That's some really good information right there. On an unrelated note, I might be in the market for a .45 sometime in the future.

    In the meantime, I'm just glad my 9 holds 15 rounds. My plan would be to keep firing until they're down and not moving, if I ever had to use it.

    In my home, I ain't f'n around to get the bad guys to stop. They gonna meet the business end of my 12 ga. Last thing they'll ever see is a bright flash. I've cleared my house for real. We truly thought somebody had broken in. I've never been so scared and pissed at the same time. I found out that night that if I had to, I really could pull the trigger.
    Turned out a spatula had fallen on the floor. I didn't find it 'til I had cleared the house and basement.

    Yup. As long as I'm on target, 14 holes can make a lot of blood leak out! Even smaller holes!
