Nice watch. Granted, it isn’t as nice as the sports car I have seen pictures of Bernie Sanders driving; but still a nice watch.

Welcome from another Wisconsin guy. There are several of us on the forum. Glad to have you. John the electrician

I was just welcomed into the home of @PARA45 for conversation and some show and tell. It was a pleasure and very gracious of him to share his experiences with me and my son. I am looking forward to meeting many more members as time goes on. John

Thanks for the information guys. I tried to go to some of the shops in the Atlanta area on the way down, but they were closed on Sunday. I’m planning to get to the Butler location on Wednesday, looking forward to it. We did our best to find some shops in the Columbus and Phenix areas today.

I’m spending the week in Americus Georgia and am looking to take my son to some gun shops in the area. Where I live, most are very corporate and bland or private and bland. Meaning they only carry, tactical items, mainstream production guns or low quality hardware store guns that simply no...

I believe I literally drove under that sign on my way from Wisconsin to Nashville today.

It is a random quarter, I use cash and change quite a lot. It is from Virginia.

Leaving tomorrow with my son for a three night thermal hog hunt. I will be wearing my Tudor Black Bak GMT, Pepsi. The other stuff is what I normally have on my person and a ceramic of the best dog I ever had.

“Brawndo, it’s what plants crave.” @rookhawk , you are not allowed to answer.

“Stand by Me.”

“Some boys go off to war and come back with no legs. Some boys go to war and don’t come back at all.” Or, something pretty close to that. The last sentence of the scene would give it away for sure.

I WOULD DIE.

Cans of compressed oxygen for recreation at high altitudes. Initially I thought they were a gimmick. When my head is pounding and I want to barf, it is really difficult to have a good time. A bit of oxygen and ready to go some more.

Milwaukee cordless tools.

Thank you for the responses. I have reserved three nights worth of thermal hunting in southern Georgia for mid March. I will recap the hunt when we get back. It should be great fun, although a bit of a grind. The outfitter said three nights would be pretty rough and many do not have the...

I would like to know as well. Any performance reports on game?

I want to take my son (15) on a multi day hog hunt next month. He has spring break and we are able to go from March 15-24th; allowing for travel days on the front and back end. In a perfect world the hunt would consist of both thermal at night and day hunting as well; a 50/50 mix. I am...

$115 I will cover shipping.

What is your return policy? And… be real specific about who pays the shipping.

Had a great couple of nights hunting with guys who are now old friends. Wichita Falls TX area. Planning a father/son hunt this March. John

I write the same thing on every graduation card I give. “The choices you make today build the foundation for your future, choose wisely.” My wife often tells our son “the most important decision you will make in your life is who you pick to marry. Make sure she loves you and is NICE to...

It took me probably ten years of marriage to realize this one. I keep tampons in my truck and other adventure vehicles. Not because of any survival, stop a sucking chest wound kind of thing. I can tell you from personal experience, if your wife or girlfriend has an unexpected visitor… A...

Where did you come across that? Is it for sale? John

I feel we are hard pressed to find meaningful gaps in calibers/cartridges. We would have to split the hairs pretty small. What comes to mind for me are the cartridges on the small end of the spectrum. I have shot prairie dogs with 17 HMR, .204 Ruger, .223 Remington, 22-250 and .243...

Not to get personal, but the electrician in me suggests you replace that missing smoke detector and change the batteries in all of them twice a year. John

Ironically it was an astonishingly easy shot that in concept should have a very low success rate. I will preface this with, I was only 13 years old and really not a smart shot as the bullet could have landed anywhere. Here is the story. My older brother and I were small game hunting and had...

I’m around. I just work a lot… attempting to afford my first safari! There should be a Wisconsin get together of some kind some day. John the electrician

I bought a rifle from brummerb1 and he was very good to deal with, went out of his way to meet me and the rifle was as described. Good luck with the sale. John

I bought another barrel for my R8. I’m confident the now improving economy will allow me to afford it!

Is it? I happen to be from a swing state and if it’s a reach to say that presenting a legit ID to prove you are a legit voter doesn’t have advantage or disadvantage for political parties, why would either side fight so hard for or against it? it’s actually critical to the whole idea of...

There definitely is a stigma with them, think (lesbian soccer mom) BUT.. Subaru’s are fantastic cars. In particular I like the Foresters. We have owned a few Subarus and they are small SUV like and about bomb proof. I’m not sure their price point for decent used. If you can get past the...

Several years back, my dad had abruptly retired from the company he pioneered. I was left, along with my brother, to run the business. I pushed hard to grow and take risks that offered rewards. The day I signed the contract for the biggest job our company had ever done is the same day I...

Love the “over the hood on bags set up”. That is really the Midwest, right there.

Do you really think that today snuck up on the ballot counters? Why would this time of night be the proper time to deliver ballots for counting? It doesn’t make shenanigans, also doesn’t make any sense of any kind.

I didn’t even hesitate. I now have an order of Swifts on the way! Thank you Wahoo! John

I’m searching for a good condition, used .223 barrel to fit a Blaser R8. Does not need to have iron sights. If anyone has one for sale, I would be interested to discuss. Thanks, John

To specifically answer your questions, I like the following things about where I live: I live in western Wisconsin. We have four seasons of weather sometimes some seasons are short or long but, we have them all. The crime rate here is very low. Against common sense, we generally never lock...

I was inside the Duluth Pack store in person two days ago. The products are really good and of high quality. They are also very expensive. The bison leather bags, duffels and briefcases are amazingly beautiful. There is a company in West Duluth called Frost River, which I believe is a...

I gave this watch to my son today. The brand is Bertucci, recommended on a different thread here on AH for good watches under $1,000. I have one too, they are solar power, titanium case with a quartz/Japan movement. They are rugged, lightweight and decent for the price point. He will...

If the bolt head is for for an R8 and right handed, I will take it. John

Dude, you are beyond fuckin’ weird. What the actual f¥ck?….

Every Thursday morning I go to a Bible study and one of the guys has been on a couple of Samaritans Purse missions. He has helped clean up and rebuild after disasters here in the U.S.A. I am not deeply knowledgeable about the organization, however every piece of information I have seen leads...

$125, I pay shipping John

I’m not an expert by any stretch, I have however invested in residential and commercial real estate for almost 25 years now. Buy and flip, buy and rent, remodel and build new; my wife and I and investors have done a little bit of many real estate things. The one thing that we always consider...

I often show up to places where people aren’t expecting me or don’t know what is going on. So “Hi I’m John the electrician” breaks down many of those barriers. You would be amazed at where you are allowed to go with a clipboard and a hard hat! John the electrician

Look into having the Amish make you one. If there is an Amish population that you have access to and don’t mind the wait, you could have exactly what you want built. I have quite a bit of Amish made furniture, do be aware just because it is Amish made doesn’t make it high quality or lower...
