I tried to get a nuisance animal permit because squirrels were trying to eat through the siding into my attic. The DNR official said they won't issue those permits during hunting season because the hunting license covers it. I bought a Gamo .177 air rifle to avoid the "no shooting firearms...
Once in a rare while, I'll ride my bike 10 miles to the office and back. It's very hard because of the steep hills, my age, and trying to stay clear of the drivers to the extent I can. But I have this thought. How slothful and self-important must someone be to think that avoiding his or her...
Attend the orientation -- it's a half day with no commitment. If you don't hear back from a recruiter, send me a pm.
I did a lot of homework before joining. I'm now in my 10th year, and I've enjoyed it all. Generally, the commitment is one weekend drill a month for 11 months, plus a four-day...
I like the "idiot mark." It means someone was doing instead of talking, and it's fixable.
I accidentally dropped my canoe trying to load it onto my brand-new pickup truck in 2016, and creased the tailgate. "Now it's a truck!" I have a 9mm for EDC, and a Walther PPK/s .380 just because I like...
I've said before that I don't have a problem with a bill of sale given to the buyer so he can prove he didn't steal the firearm (and he'll have some evidence that I said it's not a stolen firearm). But one seller recently wanted all kinds of info, like SSN etc. That's not the purpose of a bill...
.22 and snares, squirrels and rabbits, candles, fire. Family working through it together. Typewriters for those of us who still have them and need them. It won't last . . . it'll be OK . . . we've done this before -- for centuries. Businesses will adapt and so will families. Some will fail...
Our Shi Tzu / Cocker Spaniel mix spends her days following my wife's every move in the house, and sleeping. She likes to take one long walk a day and that's sufficient. (Long is relative -- maybe 1/4 mile round trip, less as she gets older). Grooming is crucial, though -- that long hair gets...
One example --
I stopped going out for lunch years ago, but not for health reasons. I have a light breakfast, usually a breakfast bar or something (like Kind, the ones you find in the breakfast cereal aisle), and a frozen dinner for lunch. I prefer the Marie Calendar brand, but others are...
Some excerpts, if it'll help:
"At the same time, the Department recognizes that certain transactions are not likely to be sufficient to support a presumption that a person is engaging in the business of dealing in firearms. For this reason, the proposed rule also includes examples of when a...
