    He was more than a basketball player, inspired millions of people - he also represented his country in the Olympics and won gold, that was a proud moment... He wasn't even old enough sign his contract when he entered the NBA, was rightfully immature for the first stage of his career , but he grew into a role model, incrdible work ethic, father figure, business owner, dude spoke like 5 languages, helped many.... i could go on and on.... If he was "just a basketball player" what are the rest of us? Who should the country morn for? Inspire me with your life story

    Well today Thomas took me for the worst hike of my life, but luckily it was all worth it. Thomas made a great 225 yard shot on a bedded Javelina. Very proud of him, he definitely earned this one. Big thanks to Uncle Adam (BigBrowns) for helping out too.

    Who gives a chit. What has he contributed to our country? He plays sports. Good for him for being the greatest basketball player of all time. Patriots die every day. Where is their front page recognition? Our country is seriously misguided. I'll be an asshole with you.

    Worse news, 30 Marines and one sailor dead after helo crash in iraq. My heart goes out to their families and I salute their willingness to go in harms way True Heroes.

    Why not just use a 223? Billions of different rifles to choose from, and just as many different ammo offerings. Dirt cheap ammo, too.

    We went to Helzapoppin this weekend in Buckeye, and my 2.5 year old granddaughter took my face in her hands, and said with the sweetest voice and biggest smile, "Papa Koolaid (my nickname), will you buy me a horse?" I looked back at my daughter behind me, and she was nodding her head furiously..... They set me up.

    Famous people die too. The saddest part of this is the kids involved. As for the hotel clerk, I believe she knew what was going on and seized an opportunity for a pay day.

    No those aren't the facts. She had her BFs DNA found in her undergarments, Kobes DNA in her. She also had signs of force like bleeding, bruised neck from strangulation. In court, Kobe said he was into that stuff with all his GFs but his wife wasn't so he had to cheat on her. Maybe he turned his life around? So sad for all those lost. The radio station was blaming the NWS for not issuing a fog alert. But anyone knows fog when they see it, and pilots in that region know to look for it and how to deal with it. Wonder what kind of pressure the pilot may have been under if fog was the case.

    Several years ago a friend asked me to disperse most of his late father's estate. The old timer must have been a colorful character. He lived a minimalist life style even though he had retired from Ratheon with a good nest egg and pension. But he had simple needs and lived on a small farm in Cochise with his horses and dogs. Spent his golden years packing into unit 33 mostly and hunted as much as possible. He built a small shop on his acreage and lived in a kit garage with dirt floors. When the prostate cancer weakened him to exhaustion, he settled into assisted living and therefore was not home when his property flooded. The moisture had ruined a lot of his possesions when I started to gather them and some items were just tossed. But there were a few items I put into a drawer for another day. SCIENCE!!! Yesterday I started the restoration of these items. All with moving parts were so badly rusted, they no longer had moving parts. Time to experiment with electrolysis. 5 gallon bucket of water with approx 1 tablespoon of salt per gallon water for electrolytes. I hung the items needing cleaned from a piece of sucker rod I could ground from the old battery charger. I would set the charger to 6V, 3 amps. The anodes were a couple of iron grading stakes I had laying around. I connected them together with jumper cables but it didn't seem to matter having 2 anodes since all the oxidation migrated to the one anode even though my volt meter indicated voltage at both. Put the rusty items through the electrolysis overnight and got up to this view. Its important to do this outside, as the process creates hydrogen since you're separating H2O. Additionally, using salt for the electrolytes makes for chlorine gas. After 18 hours, here's the result... I was thrilled to see this antique actually operate again. The breech opens, ejector, hammer, trigger all moving again. She's going back in for more electrolysis. The right side of the pistol was facing the anode so it came out cleanest, so I turned the gun around 180' to work more on the left side. In case you're wondering, it's an Iver Johnson, 5 shot Top Break Safety .32 S&W short. Same model used to assassinate Pres. McKinley 119 years ago.

    I have the twin to that pistol without the rust. Belonged to my grandad.

    It's ready for the wall. With the thorough cleaning, I was able to read the serial #s for the first time. Turns out it's chambered for .38 S&W. Was black powder built between 1909-1941. Has low, low serial numbers so probably manufactured about the time AZ gained statehood. Next I'll turn my attention back to the .25 H&R...

    I just bought a leupold 5-25x mark 5HD. I havnt mounted it yet but it sure seems impressive. I might have to upgrade my VX5s and VX6s.

    You will find the 17 hmr isnt any better than the 22 mag. the only rimfire that has enough is the the 17wsm. The 22 hornet or much better K hornet is an awesome fur gun as is the 17 hornet (my 1st/2nd choice) the 221 fireball, 17 remington or fireball, 222 remington or a 223. The 223 is very versatile if you are a hand loader.

    .223 minimum. Do some research. 17 HMR and 22 mag are lethal but too light on heavy fur. Even coyotes deserve a quick dispatch!

    They are tac drivers. I keep it in my pickup always on the farm. That thing has been thousands and thousands of miles on bad roads thumped all around and still shoots quarters at 100 yards.

    223 bolt gun is the best all around coyote gun! Cheap to shoot (55 gr vmax) Good range (300+yards ) Tons of affordable options. Just my opinion though! Lol...

    if you want to keep it quiet, stay away from an AR-15. They are LOUD. Plenty of cheap bolt action 22mag and 17's being made anymore. Look at Marlin or savage. I have one of the first Marlin 17 hmr's ever made. probably got it around 2003? Shoots amazingly well and i've killed several coyotes with it out to about 200 yards.
