    Assault weapons ban? Really Joe.

    He won’t! Such a kick in the gut to all of us who have kids in the service! To those Boys of Normandy and their families- Thank you!!! They’re not forgotten!!!

    It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome. I know a few myself. Conservatives that had to get rid of a mean tweeting, thin skinned yet thick skinned non politician. These same people are the first to whine about gas prices, 401ks, food prices etc.

    Found a stray - Chandler

    My wife is the tortoise nut. She has several sulcata and native desert. The huge one we had years ago left piles like a horse would drop. We sold our house in northwest Peoria and tried to take her with to our place in so az and she freaked out excreting uric acid ( I think) and I guess that’s bad so we left her with the buyers who were thrilled. Couple years later we found out from them that she got out. Yes like Edge says they are Houdini’s. She didn’t dig out because the wall footers were too deep. Only thing she could have done was continue to test the gates that had self closing springs but found one that didn’t close? Who knows? Anyhow they got her back about 2 weeks after she’d gone missing. Awhile after she started digging deep under different plants, destroying the landscape. Next thing they knew there were little ones showing up. 46 that they found! They sold the little ones to some pet shop for like $1800 if I remember right? Crazy!

    African spurred (sulcata). Not native. They get huge! We had one that I swear was pushing 100 pounds!

    One more 👍 for Cochise. Might be worth a call and possibly a drive. A bunch of good guys. Nothing like Ride Now! I won’t even buy parts from those f’tards!

    Why do they keep doing this?

    Some real idiots! There was a manhunt in our area about 12 years ago and after a couple hours the guy was found on our land not far from our house. A bunch of DPS guys and a bunch CCSO guys had been out here for 2 hours and couldn’t get him. 2 BP guys showed up late to the party and got the guy in about 15 mins. He was a white tweeker.

    I heard that Sally Ramos complained of being poor. They’re now saying he/she purchased Daniel Defense rifles? Uh ok?

    Dem law makers don’t give a rip about the kids! If they did they wouldn’t filibuster such bills that the reps have proposed! They’re dug in on gun bans! Yes 40 billion would be better spent here on locking down the schools than going to Ukraine! My opinion

    Why do they keep doing this?

    Society is broken for all the reasons above and the family fabric is torn for far too many young people in this divided country! Fathers ( if present) are too busy with their faces in their phones rather than being involved with their kids, knocking heads and kicking butt when needed!

    Lake Pleasent Boating Accident

    I grew up fishing that lake. The last 10 years I lived in the valley I wouldn’t even go close on the weekends. Sad that lake has turned into such a dangerous place.

    Polaris extended warranty and service plan

    My General is the 4th Polaris machine I’ve owned since the late 90s. No major component failures. Besides regular maintenance, I’ve replaced half a dozen or so cv boots. Personally I would never purchase the extended warranty

    Motor oil question

    I’ve changed my own oil on everything I own for 20+ years. The last time I had it done it was done by Big O and like I always did I got home and popped the hood just to check fill level and when I did I noticed the radiator shroud was cracked with a little oil on it and oil fill cap was gone. The tech obviously left the filler cap on the shroud and slammed the hood. A few months later a friend of mine had another outfit change the oil in their suv and they put a filter on that was too long, steering linkage caught the end of the filter and tore it off and 2 blocks down the road the motor started knocking! Probably took 50000 miles off the life of that motor!

    I would think you’d be fine. I use 5w-40 as a substitute for 0-40 in my General

    Incompetents

    Anyone who runs a business trying to hire good employees is finding out that most of the responsible, intelligent, hard working ones are in business for themselves!

    Help with cost of building a shop/garage

    Depending on whether you’re going to have it insulated, sheet rocked, electrical etc., that might be a good price with today’s climate.

    Feeling a bit discouraged

    Definitely easier said than done but as these guys have said try not to look at the antlers. My archery skills are a work in progress but what has helped me a lot when bow hunting and rifle hunting is the 4 7 8 breathing technique. Look it up. Hard to believe how much it will calm the nerves and settle a racing mind. I try to start concentrating on my breathing from the beginning of a stalk

    SOLD - Nikon P-223 Riflescope 3-9x40 (with scope rings)

    Bump for a great AR scope for the money. Zeroed mine in and then went straight out to my 400 yard dinger and center punched it. Turrets track well too. GLWS
