The traffic getting in and out of Seattle can take hours daily from your life. If you can afford to live close to the salt water, that's your escape. I've lived in the Seattle area and at one point lived a block from the Des Moines boat launch on the south end of Eliot Bay. I was on the bay 5 evenings a week catching dinner from my 16' runabout. Sol, crab, salmon, squid.....

Where in WA?

The fishing rules are mind numbing. For crab you'll need calipers and the ability to distinguish sexes. But unlike the local libtards's, you only have to worry about male vs female.

Power out for hours but it cooled off some and tamped the dust down nw valley. Up in the Wickenburg hills, some washes ran and standing puddles in the desert.

To anyone who can tell me what firearm this cartridge was chambered for. Start guessing.

I just had a closer look. It's a 45-55, carbine load for the model 1873 Trapdoor carbine US cavalry issue. The C in the headstamp stands for carbine. Manufactured 1878.

What's the dia.? 45-70 or 50-70 govt

Whoa, how did I miss this? Yes Maynard .52 They came in .33, .50 and .52 The cartridge has no primer, just a flash hole. Paper caps like we had in cap guns as kids then later percussion caps were fitted.

It's .52 if that helps

No sir, and not .58

No but you are in the right era.

Thought everyday in Arizona was cowboy day?

Went to grab something out of the jeep when I realized I wasn't alone.

How much weight can a goat carry, ratio?

Judging by the number of tortoise tunnels im seeing up here, there's no shortage of them.

And without getting 'off color' yeah I have a black gladiator. Would have preferred any other color but there was no selection in diesel.

I'm on my 4th Gila Monster, 2nd tortoise this year. Lots of gopher snakes and a single rattler a few weeks ago. The Gladiator is awesome. I always liked the looks and off road capabilities. Then a cousin took me deer hunting in his last Jan and I was hooked. After some more research I knew I'd want the diesel version. I need a leveling kit installed, the diesels are 500lbs heavier than the gas models. The little 3.0L turbo diesel gets 30mpg hwy, mid 20s in town. Compared to my 1995 Powerstroke, puts out almost 10% more torque and 25% more hp. Handles like a sports car and is backed up to an 8spd AT.

Sounds like the fellow I worked for in TX 15 years ago. Would literally haul 25000 live birds to shoots back east. Canons were home made mortar like tubes firing weights via12ga blanks. Could fire it 2-3 days in a row before the birds got keen. Yes. At least in TX and I would imagine elsewhere. Cages had to be checked daily for food and water. All other birds besides Eurasian doves must be released unharmed. When trapping, put a pigeon in the cage to start with. Bait with millet. Just needs a 1way door that opens in. Better yet, call local pigeon removal companies, they'll sell them.

You passed Sears Kay ruins on the way to Bartlett and Horseshoe.
