Gilbert.....always in Gilbert, oy vey.

What applied in Texas 1835... Really hasn't changed.

There are theories out there it worked great for the CIA in Nov. 1963.

Those of you in the valley whom have taken your best friend(s) through a course, whom do you recommend or don't recommend? Partners Training is probably out, I'm not available on the 2 days if the week they offer the class.

Thanks!

Two bears have been removed from Peoria in recent memory. Problem is, a couple weeks ago you thought a bobcat was a decent looking lion.

Five large asteroids skimmed Earth yesterday. The closest, asteroid 2019-OK, just discovered in the last 36 hours is 250 feet wide and missed us by just 45,000 miles, 0.2 the distance to the Moon. This early evening Arizona time it will have reached magnitude 9.4, which I can spot with my high powered binoculars. A thee inch telescope would work also to see it. Unfortunately, it is poorly timed and placed to observe before it fades. Please note that it is moving very quickly and seven hours later the magnitude has dropped to an impossible +46 as most of the dark side faces Earth, about as bright as a pen light sitting on the Moon. Not even Hubble would have a good shot at that. An impact of an object that size would have made a crater about 1.25 miles across and wiped out most life in an area the size of Connecticut. At that distance 1/144 objects will impact the Earth. For objects that come closer than the Moon the impact ratio is 1/3600. Asteroid 2019-OD, discovered a few weeks ago, came 0.9 lunar distance from Earth today. It is almost identical in size at 237 feet wide. It was best visible last evening in the southern hemisphere at magnitude 12.79, 6 inch telescope range. Asteroid 2015-HM10, discovered 4 years ago also is nearly the same size at 225 feet wide, but safely missed us by 12.2 lunar distance, about 2.9 million miles. Asteroid 2019-OE, at 2.5 lunar distance about 600,000 miles away, is 100 feet across. An impact from this one would be much larger than Chelyabinsk, but smaller than Meteor Crater. Both of these asteroids would have been too dim to be seen at magnitude +17.5. Heads up. You can learn about and see some of the larger Near Earth Asteroids NEO's which pass closer than 20 LD at http://www.spaceweather.com/ Click the Ephemeris tab, enter your home observing coordinates, date, and duration to generate where they may be seen in the sky. Tomorrow, the even bigger Asteroid 2010-PK9 at 500+ feet will miss us by 8.2 LD. Asteroid 2010-PK9 is a rare Aten class asteroid whose orbit brings it much closer to the Sun. In this case half as close as Mercury in a 205 day highly elliptical orbit. About two dozen more NEO's are listed in the next couple of months with more discovered and updated daily. You realize that only about 10%~ of these relatively small and very close NEO's are even observed as they pass by

Keep in touch, Gringo. I'm north of Surprise and share many of your hobbies and some you didn't list like wilderness packing and prospecting. I have a large bear on my gold claim north of town that's been growing bolder and terrorizing camps in the area for years. He earned the name Mountain Dew after stealing a 12 pack from a buddies cooler last fall, in broad daylight. We've talked it over and he needs to go before somebody or their kids get hurt. Where in CO? I used to ranch outside Dove Creek.

How far west ya go? I'll take it.

You ever come to the west side???

What dia. tubing and wall thickness does the notcher handle?

Ruby was my guess. Wicked, wicked past.

Sent you a pm yesterday.

They absolutely are on here.

It's an ore car. Not sure why the picture is on its side.

No it's in a Creek a couple miles downstream from the gold mine that lost it.

Where are you located? ￦hats wrong with the AC? How many miles? Which tranny? What was your mpg?

The pine trees were there last week all along Turkey Creek.

Google Goodwin, AZ. Lots of camping that area.

Looks like it came out 100 years before the Judge. I like the patina.

Still available?

Reloading will probably be a felony soon as it can't be regulated. We are all aware CA gangbangers have Lee Pro 1000s setup in their clubhouses. This article helps explain the rabid, ignorant anti 2a culture to our north. And that's why I had to write my son a letter addressed to his county attorney in San Mateo, CA. The letter explained how my son, a legal firearms carrier, firefighter and reserve USMC member, came into possession of a Glock 26. It was a Christmas gift you ignorant CA commie azzes!
