Pov of someone who was there and actually was concealed carrying

And then you have the unarmed ex military dude that rushed the shooter and was shot 7 times!!!

Quite the difference in actions.

If you want to see scary statistics? Keep in mind that this is just from one major metropolitan area here.

For some reason the name of the site seems appropriate?

Luckily Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the US and is also a gun free zone.

I feel pretty safe Bill I have no fear that the country will be over run internally or externally. It is the hands and the mind that make guns evil. I can show you 10 ways to kill with a pencil video if you want.

I feel pretty safe too Art.

Interesting video on the issue.

Winter must be just about breathing down your neck now, Dave?

 

Doug

Yep, won't be long.

I figure based on years past that the launch @ my lake will be frozen in 3 weeks.

I'm very careful as I wouldn't be found for days if I tumbled off the roof.

I'm not big on heights so I tend to make extra sure on my footing.

Are you going to explain to me Dave how 1 guy got that tarp onto a roof solo? You had better hurry up or the Mothership is leaving without you!!

 

I've always meant to ask is articangler.ca your site?

Getting the 30X40 tarp in place was a bit of a chore.

I attached one corner to my material lift and sent it up.

Then I went up on the roof and hauled it up.

Started securing it in the NW corner and worked my way down the side and across the front.

It wasn't really that hard as the 2 days I secured it properly there was virtually no wind.

And yes the site's mine.

I really need to update it one of these days.

 

Just curious Dave but have you any idea how may bags you'd go through in a typical 24 hours with that pellet stove in the new cabin.

My buddies mom in the Fairbanks area has one of these stoves.

She's older and keeps her place really warm (over 80*).

And she uses 1 1/4 bags per day during the cold winters there.

My guess is 1 pallet of pellets will last me over a year.

NO!!!

We don't gots no crappies up in here.

I'm looking forward to first ice lakers and pike.

That is after I get some last open water lakers and pike!!!!

Here are a few of mine.

Yes, my espresso machine makes me smile.

Frosty me!!

There's plenty of dead wood @ my cabin but I like the ease and cleanliness of the pellet stove.

My piles of dead wood are going to be used in the fire pit.

 

I guess you need to marinate them overnite!!

What would a ton of dried hardwood fetch?

$350 for a full cord here.

And it's not hardwood it's black spruce.

I'm guessing those pellets are not cheap.

About $300 a ton ($5/bag).

Not bad at all.

If baby comes out as a panda im gonna have some serious issues with my wife lol

 

Thanks brian

But you won't have issues if it looks like the milk man?

Checked out the website. Both the models show hopper capacity of 60LBS. You said 40LBS. Do they have a smaller version not listed?

Nope, my mistake. Thought it was 40#.

60 is better!!!

I don't doubt the distance, just that the shot has enough energy to penetrate at that distance.

 

I would agree on the 3' holdover though LOL

​You can go check the carcasses in the ditch behind the tree line for evidence if you like.

Actually one of the cormorants I hit flipped over backwards and landed in the pond stone dead.

Other times I had to finish them off.

Those big blue cormorants are really tough!!!!

Have propane heat @ the house but will be installing a Wiseway pellet stove in the cabin.

It is the only non-powered pellet stove on the market. The pellets are gravity fed rather than using an auger.

I like the fact that I won't wake up to a cold cabin in the morning as the hopper fits 40#'s of pellets.

Nothing worse than having to get out of a warm bed into a cold cabin to relight the woodstove in the morning.

Sorry, but at 125 yds with #2 lead, I call Bull. I know your a smart fella, but that's a long poke for shot. Too long. You may get lucky with the one golden pellet the odd time, but that my friend, is too far for lead shot. How much hold over at 125yds for #2 shot?? haha

 

 

S.

You be the judge.

Even going off this sat image of the old homestead it works out to about 100 meters between the house and closest part of the pond. As for the hold it's about 3' high.

 

Considering how well you build houses Dave I'd bet $$$$ your measurements were right on.

Oh, and cormorants aren't very hardy birds.

I went back to school @ 38 and took information technology courses.

Been game fully employed since I graduated.

I have been working for the government of the NWT for almost 9 years now.

Making great $$$$ and will have an excellent pension when I retire in 2028.

Before that I was working as an assembly line supervisor @ a van assembly operation upfitting work vehicles with lights, shelving, headache racks, ladder racks etc. Did work for companies like Bell, Rogers and Ontario Hydro.

Well considering I had it measured out for my shooting range and my archery range I'm pretty sure my measurements were accurate.

Locks are for honest people; if someone wants your stuff they're taking it.

A buddy of mine, launched his boat out of Turkey Point marina; busy place, parking lot always filled with trucks & trailers.

He gets back in at the end of the day, walks to his truck and his trailers gone. Well most of it anyway; his locked trailer coupler was still on the ball.

Most couplers are only bolted on with 2 bolts; with today's cordless tools; an electric impact gun would make short order of unbolting a coupler and attaching a different one.

Insurance covered the trailer and the first thing he had done to it was too have the coupler welded to the trailer.

 

Dan.

Mine is welded on which is a good thing although it's still easy to steal even if it is locked.

All one has to do is remove the nut on the end of the latch from the underside of the hitch.
