It's harmless as long as you're not holding it in your hand when someone shoots it with high velocity round.

Here we are playing with some at the range showing off for a group of kids.

- Well ol' humpty dumpty is at the house... but what a ****ed up day






To start the employees at the place I rented a trailer from showed up late


Couldn't get the running lights to work on the green truck


Grabbed the harley truck, got the trailer

Swapped over to the green truck

Get on the road 2 hours later than planned



Get to Lee's, after an un-eventful drive (so far so good)











Start loading, long bars hit so we stopped made a couple adjustments



Started to load again and the damn ramp shot out dropping the truck onto the long bar





Get 'er on a jack, grab a longer jack





Get the ramp back under it, and get 'er on the trailer (in the rain)




Get tied down and haul *** (50-55mph) as best as traffic will allow





Finally we reach Elizibeth town and eat at Texas roadhouse, and get back on the road








BOOM, blow a tire on the trailer


Yes fender ANd lightning get damaged



Can't get the spare off, Lightning is too far forward





Get the wife to help, we get the tire off I finish changing the tire



Get off at the next fuel station and double everything, text Mock





Continue on to the house without issue

The tankless ones are nice but theres upkeep that no one knows about or likes to do ......about every 6 months to 1 year the heating element should be taken out and descaled......plus its recommended that a water softner also be installed if a tankless one is to be used especialky the gas ones...really didnt want to go this route.....
