  1. How slow is the mail these days? I ordered a bag of charcoal online. By the time it arrived through USPS, the coal had turned into diamonds 😜
  2. Photos don't do this rod justice. Mama ooh'd and awww'd over the cork handles
  3. I dont think I would EVER jump out of a perfectly functional airplane. Its not the fall that worries me, its the sudden stop at the end of the fall
  4. Buggy? To me, its anything that looks like a bug..floating OR subsurface
  5. Leave the camera in AV mode. Use a higher F-stop ..f11,f16 or f22. Make sure you are shooting off something steady and make sure you have sufficient light. The higher the aperture number (fstop), the less light enters the camera. The lower the f-stop #, more light is allowed in. Assuming you have sufficient light,an f-stop setting of f11,f16 or f22 should give you better depth of field. Just remember fstop number is the aperture setting on the lens HIgh number f11 and up achieves a deeper depth of field Lower numbers like f2.8 or f4 achieves a shallower depth of field. This article explains it fairly simply https://digital-photography-school.com/understanding-depth-field-beginners/
  6. I see a few every year in NC, down towards the coast on a NWR where I photograph. They are pretty rare in NC.
  7. Ok, I have a problem with this. I didn't tell ANYONE that my likeness could be used! 😜
  8. Its funny, but, that guy is asking for a broken nose. We have horses and I cant tell you how many times I've seen a horse clock someone with their face too close to that big old head. All it takes is a really small upward movement and BAM, broken jaw or nose..Ouchie!!!
  9. This is another one of the Millions of uses for duct tape.
  10. The mail is SO slow that the cheese I sent out for Christmas got moldy and turned into penicillin 😁

    lol, maybe he only loads it 1/2 way up. Personally, I'm a glass FULL guy with my Glock
  12. Now,, that right there...is FUNNY
  13. I saw someone on a hunting board post something identical about a duck hunting video of his that was taken down and had his channel suspended. I'll say it....Media and Big tech are Censuring content of ANYTHING that is contrary to their beliefs.
  14. At this moment, My personal best with the USPS is 6 weeks for a 3 day delivery promise. I totalled the mileage up and divided it by days. The package averaged 13 miles a day. It spent 2 weeks in 2 different distribution centers in the same state. They are inept!!! Both of my Grandkids Christmas presents didn't get delivered before Christmas and they were ordered the week before Thanksgiving. They do NOT care. If they charge a price for promised delivery, they should be refunding if the item doesnt make it, BUT..."F" you.....we're the post office
  15. I completely understand Steve. Life can be overbearing sometimes, but as your quote alludes to,there is still a lot of fun stuff left to pursue. Losing a person close to you always sucks,but they wouldn't want you sitting around feeling sorry for them,or, yourself. That thought keeps me plodding along when times suck
  16. ok, I'll play 1st one. My girl Katie doing some retrieving drills on the farm behind my house 2nd One. The Groundhog that was in Katies kennel, up the tree, beside the kennel 3rd.Not my backyard,but a NWR a couple of hours away. Tundra Swan

    Sorry to hear about this Mike!
  18. I've had both hands done. One about 18 years ago and the other 12 years ago. It takes almost no time to recover and you shouldn't lose any mobility
  19. Well, When the rain stops, I'm going to go train with my dog, then go shoot a couple of new guns I just acquired
