    Effects of the virus scare?

    LMAO cant believe I wacthed the hole vid
  2. Unless your going up north , or on a weekday or in the winter a semi flat bottom alum boat is not ideal for az. Lund what throphyhntr mentioned is a good choice. Heres the reason against a small tracker for the lakes in AZ pleasant sag rosy apache and canyon get lots of traffic. which means lots of waves big f'n waves. then you have the monsoon and winds you have to deal with. its not really fun in a small under 20 foot fiberglass boat either. I fished out of small alum boats before I got into the bigger fiberglass ones, The smaller ones are great for one thing and one thing only Puddles and smaller lakes up north.. I used to fish between 5 and 6 days a week for years here in the valley almost every day of the year, night fishing in the summer and day fishing in the cooler months. all the lakes are packed 24/7 even at night. what people dont expect is the wind as you cant plan on it. good be perfect flat water when you go out then turn into a nitemare 3 hours later with NO warning. easpecially when your in the back of a canyon fishing.. Spent many nights sleeping on the boat tied in tucked into some cove for cover with my kids and I had a 22 foot deeper V bass boat at the time. 2-4 foot swells are common even bigger at times. Longshooter and I had lots of fun fishing in rough water and seeing whos boat could handle it better. one year at lake mojave was fishign in a tourny and all of a sudden we had 6-10 foot swells before we hit the big part of the lake. out of almost 200 boats a dozen sunks, 40-50% were Damaged in some way shape or form. 3 people were airlifted to the vegas hospitol after being found in the water. broken bones and one guy lost an eye from hitting the consol and his sunglass's coming off. I sunk mine we figured the swells were 6-8 feet tall. but I got lucky and mine managed to stay semi submerged. we sunk it at about 9am made it to shore and pumped it out and then made it back to weigh in 1 hour late on a trolling motor. funny thing we went into a cove to hide, there were so many boats in that cove you couldnt fit another one. a few of us decided to go back to launch ramp. none of us made it very far. we were riding waves in our boats like surfboard just idling and hitting the throttle to keep from spearing waves. The parking lot looked like a wrecking yard of boats, consoles tms missing electronics. big motors hanging off etc etc. so keep in mind when you plan on using it and where before you pull the trigger,

    Which portable shooting bench?

    you can get those emt connectors that they use for tarp and awnings and such. Mark at Marks nuts bolts and surplus just south of northern and 67th ave sells them in all sizes from 1/2" dia to 2" dia. they come in all different angles and right angles etc etc. and there adjustable as well. then if you want good bench get a old counter top or solid wooden door cut it to size using bolts to bolt it to the frame made from the above. plastic tables suck because they are long and flimsy.

    When I was young it was just a harris bipod, now its a harris bipod and a thick shooting matt. Red, I remember that shooting bench from Rick. I built one also many years ago,got tired of lugging it around as well. Rick had some great articles in shooting times back then

    22-250 Bulk Brass New - 500 Count

    haha. I started in 82 with a buddy and we decimated the PD population in AZ. I quit in the early 2000s 3-4 days a week every week for years and years. hunted them in Co montana NM too have 2 dozen pdog guns tens of thousands rounds of ammo/brass and components that havent been used in 18 years even still have NIB back up rifles. good ole days forsure
  8. Long answer short BUY USED but newer years. get the motor checked out by a reputable mechanic they will hook it up on there computer and let you everything. Best merc mechinic in the state is brent at performance marine in glendale. A new boat is great for a pcs of mind and the warranty. boat motors are the main cost of a boat. A used boat if you cant afford a new one. I wouldn't buy shoot from Cabelas or Bass pro boat wise let alone have something worked on by them. any boat either way your going to spend money on them ie break out another thousand is true. that being said I know guys with boats that havent had any issues with 15 year old boats. when they sit you have issues, run them once a month you wont have issues. Change the impeller min of every year and if it sits more than 3 months in with out running change it before you go out to the lake. I worked on 2 strokes for a good chuck on years turned into a good side job but like any hobby I couldnt stand it after a while. 4 stroke is your best bet for a motor. 2 strokes are basically a race engine and if they dont get ran they break and dont run right. kinda liek the old Dirt bikes back in the day you always had to dick with them if you didnt ride them.

    Effects of the virus scare?

    I read that as well, if I recall it was a week later that new mexico shut down the one city. I happened to look again at the deaths and maricopa county was the top slot by far last week. There was a huge jump in the deaths in one week in maricopa county which seemed odd at them time. I dont know if they made a mistake in the begining or what. A large part of the jump was all the old folks homes, been a big rise in it the last few weeks. both mesa and Glendale and I believe Scottsdale.

    Effects of the virus scare?

    When we had our 1st kid in 90 this old Waitress told my wife to let the kids play and get dirty drink out of others kids drinks, take a bite out of this or that its no biggy, if they want to play and ones sick who cares. It will keep them from getting sick in the future. SIL had a kid, The ripped out the carpet ,put concrete in the back yard, because of the possibility of asma (sp). he couldnt play with other kids toys at there house, Birthday parties were a hoot to go to NOT! he would pick up a toy and mom would come running over and wash it, then give it to him etc etc. kids almost 30 and get sick just with someone walking by him, hes on tons of meds too. Seen this with many kids over the years clean freaks always get sick, normal kids not as much.

    Effects of the virus scare?

    Always pissed me off how little the military got paid. but if they excell in it and stay in they make good money, My Father did for 23 years. My point of this wasnt to high 5 the military but to laugh at the complainers about there jobs. a f'n conviences store worker has a more dangerous job than a cop because they cant protect themselves. alot of teachers are a bunch of cry babies. My wifes Best friend is one and has been for dang near 25 years. she worked her butt off to pay for her schooling and never complained. she makes pretty good money now and shes happy. too many people want the money but dont want to put in the time, everyone thinks they deserve top pay when they start.

    Effects of the virus scare?

    Then they shouldn't have signed up as teachers. just like cops and firemen complaining there jobs are too dangerous. Funny cause I know hundreds of people who make about $1733.00 a month eat shitty food have cramped living quarters physically worked there butt's off and they volunteered to put there life on the line.
