    Home Depot worse service I’ve ever had

    Only thing I can think of is try Casey's in Winslow. It's been 15 years since I've even stepped in there so it might be a different place. Back then, we got a lot of roofing materials from them. You might get lucky, who knows. Other option is to get another color that is as close to the one you have and mix it up on the roof. Pick areas that are easy to hide like next to penetrations and near the ridges or an area that doesn't get a lot of sun.

    Any private pilots here?

    Kaffer62, What kind of plane are you building? Aerobatic or STOL? That was always a dream my dad had, to build one at the house.

    Any private pilots here?

    My dad was. He had a 172 and a Beech Bonanza. The 172 was a lot of fun. You can fly low and slow and spot game much easier. The Bonanza was a hot rod and a lot less forgiving than the 172. I'm not a pilot but would act as a co pilot on cross country trips. No big deal, it was usually when he needed to take a nap and we were where I wouldn't run into trouble, and if I did, I could just elbow him awake. It's a lot of fun. You should pursue it. Cost is a lot but we grew up in a small town and it didn't cost $1000 a month to park the planes. From what I've noticed with all of the private pilots is that it's better to learn on the high wing planes and then go after the high performance ones if that's your thing. My dad bought the plane and then learned how to fly. The plane was a 1972 172 and his flight instructor went with him to fly it back to Holbrook from Sky Harbor in 1983. From there he learned and soloed. We weren't a wealthy family and he was able to support a family of five and still operate it.

    Mid Life/wife crisis Question

    I think your idea of the smaller the better is the way to go. Since she is pushing the subject, it could be fun for both of you. I own a half ton and a 6.7 Diesel. The diesel has all of the power you'll need.

    Lockers

    I was with the GC. I sent you a message.

    Lockers

    They're high quality lockers. I was the Superintendent that built that fitness center. It was actually done in two phases. The first had only four showers per room, then we went back there and expanded it while it was occupied.

    New pool

    I have one and rarely use it. It's my first house and I thought I just had to have it. I would never get a house with one ever again. You're right about this time of year being the best time to have one but think about the rest of the year. Something I learned is to have a pool guy maintain it for you. It's simple enough to do it yourself, but it's easy to get lazy about it. Before you make a move, think about the long term. I pay my pool guy about $100 a month and that brings him out once a week. The math works out to about $25 dollars a week. That's money well spent to me. It's also about how important your time is to you. Do you want to waste time on it? I sure don't. You will have to replace filters or a pump on occasion so be prepared for that too.

    Wild Horses???

    A good way to get rid of them, at least the Salt River bunch, is to quietly organize a group of people and shoot them at night during the winter solstice. During then because you would be able to maximize the night time hours. Once done, get rid of the evidence like clothing, boots, guns, etc and use other vehicles that can't be traced. Leave the cell phones and anything else that tracks you at home. They would still get busted because someone couldn't help but brag about it afterwards.

    Wild Horses???

    They are feral. I can't believe how backwards protecting them is. Try to find a Biologist that will say feral animals are ok in nature. You won't. Their protection is purely political and that bothers me to no end. Now that I said that, some will call me a horse hater. Which I'm not.

    Interesting Article

    As long as it doesn't effect hunting, I don't care. As far as mining goes, I say find another place. I don't live there and haven't even been to the places they're talking about so again it doesn't affect me. What bothers me is that the mining is what will stop hunting, not protection of a moth. There have been two things happen in my favorite hunting areas and it didn't come from the crazy left. One was Potash development and another is Wind Turbines. Thankfully the potash development has died or hunting would have been more difficult. The wind turbines have forever marred the landscape that was once nice.

    Remington 722 .222 Rem Magnum

    I have a 722 in 257 Roberts. It seems like it's the most deadly rifle we have. I inherited it from my dad. I learned centerfire shooting from it and it never let me down. I got my first coyote and shot birds with it out to 280 yards. It's not a long range banger but it's a great gun. Good luck with the sale, it's a very fair price and I would buy it if I didn't just purchase a 22 K Hornet.

    AZ G&F and trails cameras

    This could be a good way to raise money. If they come up with a permit for each camera and charge $1000-$2000 dollars per permit, they could raise a lot of money.
  14. My opinion is starting to change. I'm now leaning more to not having these tags until they explain this more.

    Conserve and Protect AZ SURVEY/

    4 is a tough question. We can still learn from this survey and talk about that later.
  16. Idgaf, What conclusion are you looking for on this?
  17. Question for the people that are completely against AZSFW- this is from the license plate grants. $170,665 out of $180,000. This is good right?
  18. I haven't made up my mind on this yet, but I'm leaning to supporting Conserve and Protect. The Rich aren't the enemy. There is an Elk organization that has a few wealthy members and they donate tons of cash, banquet prizes that are high dollar, and are better connected than me politically and socially. They are very valuable with or without getting tags. I can't afford to donate as much as them, but I'm not going to be ignorant and jealous when they have that opportunity and I'm able to somewhat benefit from them and their efforts. That would be a liberal argument. Think of it this way, Doctors can charge a lot of money. That sucks. I still want one around if I suffer trauma to my man parts.
  19. I bet what's going to happen next is the HSUS will run an ad campaign to win over the minds of people. Their ads will be complete with dramatic images and music just like the Dog and Seal commercials. I figure a counter campaign will cost lots of dollars.
  20. MT_Sourdough, Can you list some of those ways please? You might be able to solve this whole thing.
  21. Who is Conserve and Protect Arizona? It was formed by a small group of sportsmen with financial help from some of the states most well known sportsmen conservation organizations. The Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society, Arizona Elk Society, Arizona Deer Association, Arizona Antelope Foundation, Yuma Valley Rod and Gun Club, Arizona Bowhunters Association and the Arizona Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, and some houndsmen and women, all made contributions. This is the part that I keep thinking about. I can't bash these orgs too much because they did a lot more than me towards wildlife last year. In order for those orgs to give cash to ConserveandProtect, it must be important. Just my opinion, I speak for myself. I'm sure lots of people here volunteered and donated all kinds of money to fight anti hunters last year. I drop a few hundred dollars when I'm invited to a banquet where I can win something.
  22. Best I can tell of the current Board that Pete Cimellaro claims is a "completely different" organization, 4 of the 8 listed were Board members of the AZSFWC in 2012 that pushed the tag grab that was HB2072.[/size] Anybody look up incestuous? That's why I was interested. There are 4 new names that a lot of people here can vouch for. As for the others that were a part of the 2012 part, it's going to be hard to trust them. It's good we discuss this with an open mind.
  23. Jay, Thanks for the information. I would not get it if it wasn't for your podcast and I thought you did a good job being fair and impartial in your interview of Pete. During your interview, there was a list of names mentioned that sounded like they were a part of ConserveandProtect. I recognized a few of those names but couldn't find them or any others listed on it's website. One person in particular I had plenty of conversations in 2012 about this and felt good about his opinion on that matter back then. It might be useful, at least to me to see the people involved listed on the website. Maybe I missed where they're posted, but I couldn't find them.
