Me thinks the recent abundance of water has filled your poke.
Stay safe you old jar head.:D

If you can get a possible Id I will see what the historical section at HQMC can come up with–if interested pm on home e-mail.
Never to late to find out about these hero’s particularly on this day.

Not sure about the pics as wojo and I discussed yesterday (in your absence) we find it difficult to post pics. But–
You would have loved the conversation as Wojo and I displayed his “satchel” to Linda who of course admired the artistry and then asked “how much”:evil: Jason said oh well I paid this much for the materials and for the work—no sweat. Then this morning Jason sent the real cost—and Lin said your gonna pay that for a man purse? No dear it’s a satchel–like Indiana carried.
Kinda of the time you want Smithhammer to give you that great comeback:D
You stay safe out there.

Welcome to the world of what I call “diseases of excellence”.:D
The alternative afflictions are not that forgiving.

in reply to: What ya got goin? #38789Well a day late–but Wojo came over yesterday morning and we shot a couple of rounds in the back yard 3-d straw course with the addition of 2 2-d targets from wojo. Great time and we missed Brennan. Wojo a little less bourbon the night before may help your accuracy.:lol::lol:
Semper Fi my friends

I’ll be thinking of my Grandmother, who, when I found out as a kid she lost 3 brothers in WWII, couldn’t talk about it and teared up all those years later. Upper right in the pic is her brother Peter I had sent to me years later. He was only 30 when the battles in France took him. I hope all like him over the ages have found eternal peace. I look at that pic everyday and hope he somehow knows he’s not been forgotten.

Neat photo–4 soldiers and a Marine–on right lower level with cigarette in his hand–any idea who that is?

in reply to: Possibles bag #37300Jim,cyberscout,
Wow there is some memories –“Front Toward Enemy” but Jim I believe we sent those to you as surplus so sending one back is like lend lease in reverse 😆

“Satchel”, I gotta remember that the next time someone accuses me of carrying a purse:twisted: And if Indiana can, well, any real hunter can.
However–the search is over, Wojo came by this morning for a shoot and brought a hand made “satchel” I asked him to have his friend make me one—will post a picture when I
receive it. Asked him to put the instructions for setting up a Java man bow on the inside of the flap.:lol:
Wojo–perhaps you could post Ken’s web site link again.

Wow what a gift. Nice bow how is she shooting for you?

What’s a sponge bob?
Seriously for all–talk about web tracking. I looked at those Duluth adds yesterday and today when I logged into my weather (Intellicast) guess what adds poped up on the sidebars.
Having spent my last two years on active duty back in 2000 and being heavily involved in this stuff can tell you all–be cautious at least aware that whenever you go to a site–your being tracked.
Another kudo to web mom and trad bow–it don’t happen here.

Thanks for your “radical” suggestions. If you look at the add for the bison purse–the expression on that young ladies face is the same one that would appear on Linda’s when she opened the package and said “you shouldn’t have–but I love it” and I still don’t have a “possibles bag”.:lol: Besides I have to be cautious about carrying something that is marketed as a purse–possibles bag accepted but purse–well you can imagine my Marine friends response:shock:.
Thanks my friend–at least you have provided an idea for Xmas shopping this year and who knows maybe I can steal it.

Good post interesting stuff. And like Steve said a science family what fun that has to be.:D
Just now as we sit here waiting on the meal to warm up, Linda says–do you hear the birds? They are arguing about mates:D. Aw–observation with all senses, of nature is the perfect entertainment–who needs TV.

As I said in our PM–keep the spirits up:D. Rehab is good stuff. But trust you will make it what ever the set backs.
Enjoy the break.

I’m guessing this is more tacti-cool than what you are looking for, but I’ve been using the same Maxpedition S-Type Fatboy for 10 years and it still looks brand new.

Thanks to “tactical” for me–besides with that one I would never convince Linda that I don’t have room for the stupid cell phone–just in case I have a heart attack or something:D Again thanks all for the suggestions but this one is gonna wait for shopping at ETAR.
in reply to: Arrow Speed/Weight Set Up-Opinions #32842My 2 cents.
20yds = 60 ft–a good ethical range.
OK 30 yds= 90 ft–very limit of my shooting ability.
So the difference in 150fps or 175fps or even 200fps is what?
In my humble experience if the prey spooked it was before the arrow was launched (given you did all the stuff about silent bow and such) which means my stalking skills lacked.
Sorry folks unless I’m shooting Russian made tanks at 3,000meters I really ain’t gonna worry about speed.
My 770gr carbons with 500gr up front 4A&A fletching at 33+EFOC are sufficient for what I do at 20yds. No matter the micro seconds.:D
