    Governor doesn't like Charlie Kirk

    Eddie you covered a lot of ground there. I think I have a few, not many, years on you so you and I have witnessed a lot of changes in our lifetime, as did our parents and theirs before them. My grandfather was born in 1888. We were very close and he passed a month after my 9th birthday. The only thing that is fundamentally different now than it was 5000 years ago is we now have it in our face 24 hours a day thanks to the internet. Where do we draw the line between for what is "socially accepatble behavior" and oppression? In our quest for unopressed freedom of expression should we draw the line at Trump/Jillian Michaels/RuPaul? Great thing in "most of the unopressed countries" is people have choices. People who are for the most part here illegally fall into a lot a baskets. Sorry but how are these ICE detention centers with people dying at the rate of one a week and children being carted away in broad daylight helping? This country has welcomed immigrants and relied on them. Heck you can go to any major city and find an Italian, Mexican, Greek, Oriental resturante anad them some. This may be the only country where you can meet someone who claims to be German, Irish, Italian or Mexican and can't speak the language, been there or tell you what the capitol is. The USA has been multilangual since the beginning. Should we all "David Koresh"? Look on the bright side, we all have the freedom to make choices. This isn't strictly limited to the USA. Europe has been getting hammered with hoards of boat people from Africa just showing up for years, can't shoot'em. They, like the immigrants "mostly" coming here across the southern border and predominantly running for their lives looking for freedom, which we dangle like a carrot with one hand while cracking a whip and imprison with the other. You and I can dye our hair green like the crazies in Seattle but at the same time have to sit by and watch the government dictate it as it all rolls out. You can only do what is working for you. We can surround ourselves with a microcosim of like thinkers like the Amish do but, we each have it in our ability to make lots of choices daily and long term but we can hold back whatever changes are coming down the pike unless you are a Putin, Kim, Xi Jinping or an Ayatolla. What we have may not be perfect but we each have the option to take or leave it which is more than citizens in other countries have. We've basically had 250 years of no other countries invading or bombing us. How much longer do you thing that is going to last especially with Trump rocking the boat like a demented six year old. Hypersonic missels could be launched from Nuke Subs like rain right off shore and burn us tot he ground. The world will laugh at us and say it's about time. They got what they have dished out to countries like Afganistan, Korea, Iraq, Viet Nam, etc etc etc.

    Apache Lake Questions

    My son wants to take his 14' boat to Apache on Saturday. How is the road heading in from Canyon since it was reopened? Coming from Mesa so we could either come in from Canyon or Roosevelt. I haven't fished Apache in 40 years. We fished Saguaro a couple of weeks ago caught a couple of bluegills but we mostly fish the Rim Lakes.

    Did you contact Marlin directly or a Marlin Owners Forum? GOOGLE is your friend for things like current prices.

    Governor doesn't like Charlie Kirk

    I think her goal is to reign in spending. She has been on the scene for a long time but pretty low key. Mostly doing Social Work, which is fine. She's no spring chicken. She has supported LE and kept abortion accessible. I'm not a proponent but she's kinda middle of the road from what I've seen. Her term is up this year. It'll be interesting to see who comes out of the woodwork to make a run for Governor. She beat Lake, who has zero experience, across party lines. It was a shame that there wasn't a more credible candidate than Lake. Kinda a fruitloop. At least Hobbs didn't do a ton of damage.
  5. Does anyone use these in an industrial setting, like an equipment room or central plant? How well do they muffle the noise and let you be able to hear people talk?

    We have been using PID's to control temperatures and the speed signal to VFD's for thirty years in the Commercial Building Automation Industry. PLC's use it in Process Control and I'd sure PID's are used in the Auto Industry too. https://medium.com/@svm161265/when-and-why-to-use-p-pi-pd-and-pid-controller-73729a708bb5 https://www.pitboss-grills.com/blogs/blog/pid-controller-basics-how-it-works-on-a-pellet-grill?srsltid=AfmBOoqFwvNIlABff0txATkgVb1HUQHskCZ32vklhTmJklhsZj7oYTJY
  10. First time Dad, Looking to pick up a Henry lever action to celebrate the birth of my son, Henry Knox (3/18/26)… something I can hold onto and eventually pass down to him. Few options is looking for & open to suggestions: • .22 Golden Boy (classic heirloom piece) • .30-30 • Any threaded barrel / suppressor-ready Henry models Doesn't need to be perfect, but I'd love something well taken care of. Bonus points if it has a clean wood finish or unique character. Loving some of the tactical Henry builds. Located in AZ, but open to shipping/FFL transfer for the right piece. Appreciate any leads…this one means a lot. Proud Dad - Derek
  11. Contact Henry and see if they can embellish a 22 for you. Might be be pretty reasonable and it will be one of a kind. Congratulation. If you write Anthony a letter it will get more traction than an email Maybe followup with a phone call and include your email and phone number in the letter and a picture of your son. https://www.henryusa.com/contact-henry-repeating/ https://www.henryusa.com/about-us/meet-our-founder-ceo/

    Birds are firing up

    This time of year birds are always, A-L-W-A-Y-S fired up, probably moreso with all this warm weather. Turkeys are way more predictable than Elk or Deer. Hens are probably already nesting.

    Thanks! They all look fat. As Uncle Ted says. Wack'em and Stack'em. Where abouts are you located? Are you using an e-caller?

    I would be in favor of that with the caveat of letting juniors take a spike on a one time basis.
