I don't have any ammo problems. I just buy a bag of the decorative river pebbles. Also, I can cut up an old roller bearing, the steel ***** work great.

You really need to upgrade from a 18th century Blunderbuss to a modern rifle or shot gun Jim.

Blunderbuss? It's a slingshot. I don't like using the ball bearings all that much. When they end up in the neighbor's yard, they get real curious. They don't even notice the river rock.

Maggie trees them, they hang on the limbs and tease her. I have them pretty well trained now. I step out with the sling and they skedaddle.

I really don't want to hit one, just see how close I can get.

I have two 22 rifles, both about 55 to 57 years old. One is a Mossberg that I got on my 12th birthday. It's modled after a military rifle and is a bolt action clip. The other was my dad's Winchester semi automatic. The shells are fed into a hole in the side of the stock. Holds 17 shorts and 14 LRs. Both need a gunsmith to go over them.

I have an M4 with a suppressor and barrel laser, reflex red dot sights. FMJ ammo. It is real fun on that one level with the helicopter but if you get into a long-range match online, I can't ever get any kills

Yesterday I took the dog over to my friends garage and I guess she cut her paw on somethin there. It's been bleeding since 3:00 yesterday and I can't get it to stop. I wrapped it up with gauss this morning and I came home from work and she had it tore off so I'm not sure what to do. Doesn't seem to be bothering her but it looks like someone got killed in here!

Thinking I'm gonna get Cooper Discover ATR for the truck here in a couple weeks. Saw them on the exact same truck as mine today and the guy said he can get 40,000 miles out of them and that's all he's ran on his truck.

Found out over the weekend that the two weeks of not starting the ole girl and the extreme cold we had, plus the edge plugged in, the new battery was dead as dead gets. Not even enough juice to remote unlock doors. I got her jumped and charged back up. Went and ran my errands and picked up one of those solar battery chargers that plug in the cig lighther. Hopefully no more issues now.

On a side note the light that eluminates the mileage has burned out. Guess when I tried to start it to early and the lights flickered erratically must have poped it. SO my question is who wants to tell me how to pull the cluster from an fx4 and replace that bad boy. I have seen a few searches and am not really looking forward to such a thing.

Jim with a sling shot.....hmmm.....then if you miss and hit something of the neighbors then you can tell them their river rock must be defective.....
