| by swksvolFF Eve'nin'. I'm going to pull a Joba Chamberlain for badanov, and if you saw the Royals @ Orioles, not necessarily a good replacement. More than anything I just wanted to hold the place for This Week in Guns, as I think it is important to know why. Why this is a topic, why it is important. No matter what you may think of firearms - love 'em, hate 'em, curious, or water your socks at the mention - it must be agreed that as part of the Constitution and character of the United States of America the removal of legally possessed firearms is a fundamental change, by definition. Before I can say why that is a bad idea, I have to share a bit about myself. "Don't climb into the tree if you are not willing to climb out of it." To kid Two, to kid One "Swinging the bug catcher next to the rose bush got you tangled in the rose bush, but it isn't the rose bush's fault. You are in control of the bug catcher, not the plant." I had the opportunity to get a bloc of range time in, in between herding geese. "It like riding a bicycle. And as with a bicycle you don't forget, and as with a bicycle there are muscles you must maintain to be good at riding." I know us volunteers and professionals give each other grief, and heck, and a couple bushels of bull, but I know a PASS, I know the Air Out, I know I wept last Friday. Added a link to a War is Boring story. |

| #4 Good knots Skidmark. Single hitch is a great way to lift/descend items especially with work gloves on. I wish I had more time to expand on what I said to my rather novice approach to firearms (grew up in anti-gun city). It wasn't until my wife was with first child that there were a series of bold daylight robberies occurring in town, then I went from sport to self defense, and sport usually being very naughty target practice. I had to cut short to attend to a pop up storm with lightning so thick at one point for about five minutes we were lit up like being at the ball park with the lights on. With no forecast mentioning a chance for storms, being second tornado season we out here can expect at least wind and large hail; it in a way touches on being aware of your surroundings. Also, with the approaching change in seasons I thought about mentioning emergency car kits. Perhaps another time, and badanov thank you for the opportunity to fill in. |

| #1 Slipped by: The Hitch Knot https://youtu.be/1jkN3K5G8eE There is some bs commercials, the first 'Q' I used quite a bit to haul tools up and down from the roof. 2x the length of the tool, and then 2x the height of the pullup/letdown. Don't tie a hammer or other weight and throw unless the receiver is ready, only when absolutely necessary. |
