It's going to be ugly tonight. Freak storm, expecting 85-mph winds; and Hwy 6 and I-84 westbound are at a standstill, full of marginally-experienced drivers hauling big boats and campers, coming home from the holiday.  Yikes.  

Stay safe ...

This opossum and a skunk got into squabbles about 3am this morning in my crawl space. Wife thought it was a gas leak. 

I haven’t been under the house to see who won but I can tell you who lost...

This guy.

Just scored another AR. Not the one I wanted. But all things considered you can’t be to picky at the moment. 

But Why?
What is the purpose of owning a gun like that? Protection?
I just don't understand. Maybe it's a culteral difference...
No disrespect to you... but to me those kind of weapons only belong in a war zone. I am the son of a Canadian Military Force soldier and I can remember the exact moment that my father told me to avoid the CAF at all costs. He died about 7 years ago due to complications of his service in Bosnia on a "Peace Keeping Mission" in 93/94.

Smoked a SRF Kurobuta rack of pork last night, Cooked per their directions at 250 until 140 and seared. Fed 10 happy people, great flavor. Didn’t get pics of wonderful desserts.

My invite must be late arriving. D@mn USPS. 

You went and moved to Georgia on me!

I left bread crumbs. I can find my way back.

@lousubcap in my next life I want to be a fireman in your neighbourhood 😀

When I moved here some 22 years ago the local firehouse was paid staffed from 6 AM-6PM week days (non holidays).  Didn't know that for a few months then subsequently learned that volunteers made up the difference in the 168 hour week.
So, looking for the adrenaline rush I volunteered.  Spent 12+ years doing that until the leadership pi$$ed me and 4 other volunteer officers to leave (total of 75+ years of experience).  
Now, some 10 years on it is 24/7 paid staff.  The food gig only happens on 5 holidays a year.  They appreciate it, I enjoy the cook and I am top on the list if this place catches on fire.     Just trying to help out.

I just don't understand. 

I will try to explain it in a way that may or may not make sense. Most things in life are not a need, they are a want. I will try to give a few examples that you might can relate to. 

I do not “need” a boat. Yet I have one because I enjoy it. I do not “need” a F250 diesel but I have one because I like it. I certainly do not need 12 smokers. Yet I have them simply because I enjoy them. 

Guns have always been my first love. I love just about every type of gun there is. Do I need this AR15 or any of the other AR-15’s and AR10’s that I own? No, not really. But I simply want them. 

People spend thousands of dollars on things they like and enjoy. Golf being a good example. I would rather be beat to death than to watch or play golf. Yet other people love it. So I do understand when they spend big money on golf related crap. It’s just not for me. Of all the hobbies I have had through the years, guns has always remained number one. To put it as simple as I can, I simply love and enjoy guns. 

I have many guns, smokers and vast other things I could list that I do not need. But I want everyone of them and thus I have them. 

Hope this helps a little.

@SGH You explained that well my friend. I feel the same way. I don’t have 12 smokers, but I have a lot of cooking stuff. I have WAY more SLR and Leica camera equipment than I need. I also have guns. I shot silhouettes competitively for a number of years and I love to hunt. I also have more bicycles than anyone needs. I just enjoy owning these things. I try to own all of them responsibly.

@SGH I also will have a freezer delivered next week that will become a curing chamber. I’ll be able to stuff bung and cure it. 

Would that be classified as a want or a necessity?

Anything bung related is definitely a necessity 👍

@SGH I thought that might be your opinion, lol.

Brother overalls are definitely my favorite attire. No question about it and no competition. Shaving is certainly a way of life for me. But guns are numero uno. But that is definitely my big 3. When I shoot my guns I am definitely wearing overalls and fresh shaved.

I know a guy with patents on a dual AR15 gattling gun setup. He could probably build you one.

You better order it before Nov.  You can always make more money ... Well, maybe not after Nov either.  This is a real pickle my friend.

Yeah, unusual for him to have been absent for so long.  He's probably fishing off the Amalfi coast or something.
