60+ year old thread.

Yes I took this picture

 

Thanks Tom
Hope your well .
I have yet to get the back looked at again . Been so busy . So far so good
My younger brother had his prostate removed last week , I had imaging of kidneys and bladder as part of the back pain thing . Small cysts on kidneys but could be normal for some one my age (63) . Next is having my prostate checked now . Plus my daughter is due with our first grandchild any time now . Summer is flying by.

 

Good luck at the DR

 

When I lived up in Hesperia CA which is the Mohave Desert there was many sightings of Bobcat's and Mtn Lions . They would use the storm drains to move around into towns like Victorville , Barstow and Apple Valley

I remember quite a few years ago being at my friends house in Apple Valley . It was early evening and we heard dogs starting to bark . The barking dogs sounded so strange as it sounded like a wave of sound

My friend told me we need get in his house quickly as he's heard the neighborhood dogs do this many times as a Mtn lion was sighted many times

 

The #2 world record Grizzly was taken by a woman with a single shot, bolt action 22 rifle. Was she lucky? You could say that if you want to. But she was a hunter to feed her family and she knew where she was placing her shots and had the skills to do it. You could have a bazooka and be in danger from a bear if you don't know how to place your lead. I'll take shot placement every time over large bore or sprays.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't need clean underwear if I needed to pull a trigger. That or just get woozy from the adrenalin rush...

 

Good morning

Starting to climb back into the low 90 deg temps fot the week or so with pop up t storms

 

I stand corrected... I hadn't heard the record had been broken. So the lady with the 22 has now been relegated to second place.

 

That lady’s story must be a crazy one for sure . Maybe a .22 to the eye ball

I've seen pics of the skull. Right behind the eye, and she reloaded several times. I think she wanted to be sure...

 

Try the local bar.

 

Walking Juno does turn me into a cougar magnet

not a good thing! Ooof

 

any female interest at our age is a good thing...J/S

 

Saw that cougar attack east of Seattle of the women cyclists, truly heroic efforts.

Mashing a cougar into the ground with a bike frame is just next level.
